Wifi should function like a utility, outlets should all have the same number of prongs, and baths suck. Opinions like these and others are present on this week's episode of Bad Products. Listen to it.

After an inexcusably long hiatus, Bad Products is back in the sack. Why do we have to log in to everything? Can Southwest Airlines just stop being like that? Why doesn't organic food make a better sales pitch for itself? All these questions and more are answered in today's episode, enjoy!
