I saw this post and wanted to ask the opposite. What are some items that really aren't worth paying the expensive version for? Preferably more extreme or unexpected examples.

I work as QA in packaging and it turns out that it's super important for a manufacturer to follow every little specification for consistency. There's some seriously small details that make a big difference.

Oh I bet the line between "won't stick to anything" and "immediately turns into a useless wad" is razor thin.

We use dimethyl sulfoxide to test for saran coating. We don't really make cling wrap where I work though. That's usually for anti fog or sealing layers.
