An ad that showed up as I was browsing through the news. Bloody ridiculous…

    My strategy is to skim the 1-2 star reviews to see if they have any legitimate complaints or if its just personal bullshit.

      Yeah like “flashlight is pretty bright but the switch quit after 2 months” and if I see several reviews talling about failed switches I kmow what’s up. A good product will have a 1 star review talking about “flashlight tastes terrible and hurt my teeth.”

      Extra fun when the reviews are for some other product.

      Product: A sock

      Review; 4/5 this didn’t come with batteries like the description said it would, but the motor works great for my model car.
