Bells and whistles
Unnecessary features that make a product look impressive but serve no real purpose, like a sports car with a built-in espresso machine.
Examples
Examples:
- "Our new software has all the bells and whistles you need!" (translation: it's bloated and slow)
- "We're adding some bells and whistles to make it more appealing." (translation: we're overcomplicating it)
- "The basic version works fine, but the premium has bells and whistles." (translation: pay more for stuff you don't need)
