I used to think those 'noise cancelling' earbuds were just hype

I got a pair for my commute on the bus to work and was ready to be let down. But after one ride where I didn't hear a single engine rumble, I had to admit they actually work. What's something you were sure was a gimmick that turned out to be real?

Thought those phone wallets were the dumbest idea ever. Just a piece of rubber stuck to your phone case. Bought one as a joke gift for my brother. Ended up keeping it for myself. Now I never leave my ID or a card behind. Felt like a total clown for making fun of it.

They still seem like a hassle when you need to get a card out quickly. That sticky rubber can wear out and lose its grip over time. It's just another thing that can go wrong when you're trying to pay for something.
