This Review Was Award Winning
BrunoVI 8 months ago
The non-digestible sugar substitute can make some people have wierd uh, issues. Makes them poop before their colon is done reabsorbing moisture. Why that should have any such horrible consequences, I couldn't imagine.

sorbitol, maltitol, xylitol are the culrpits here. they are artificial sweeteners and are used commonly in sugar free products, they are in chewing gum too. consumed in small quantities they are ok but in large quantities they have a horrible laxative effect, learned the hard way lol. look for products that use stevia instead to avoid this effect if you like me and can't be satisfied by a small quantity of sweets.

Sorbitol is the culprit (working for a proctologist/colorectal surgeon gives me insight into the workings of the heinie). We refer to it as "SH** IT ALL!"

Another Catnip Review, This I Can Attest To Be True
Chris the Bobcat 8 months ago
The most potent catnip I've ever found is called Cat Crack. Has my two knuckleheads loopy for the rest of the evening. Found on Amazon. cat-crack-...74777d.jpg 
Littlemiss 8 months ago
Here's me buying catnip plants for my cats only to have them shunned. I took them to work and the kitties there appreciate them instead.
When we said that many people check reviews before buying anything, we actually meant that up to 98% of consumers read them before making a purchase. They’re even more likely to do so when the product is more expensive or when they’re buying it for the first time.
49% of consumers also say that they trust these reviews as much as personal recommendations from friends and family. However, 82% look for bad reviews to gain a better understanding of what to expect from the product or service.

SMH at the replies from "helpful" shoppers that truly lack the ability to detect sarcasm and humor.
Since people never had such a variety of products to choose from, nowadays, they have to make smart choices to ensure they get the most bang for their buck. And when there’s evidence of commercials marketers not always being truthful, they tend to believe other people’s reviews on the products better.
Relying on others to make a purchase decision isn’t a new thing, as it appeared together with capitalism. However, in the digital landscape with the high and varied supply of goods, online customer reviews have become more useful than ever.

The main factor that drives people to check online product reviews is uncertainty. People want to be reassured that they’re making the right decision, especially when it comes to spending their hard-earned money. And online reviews satisfy this craving, as they represent real-life experiences and offer a glimpse into the quality, value, and reliability of the product or service they consider buying.

Load More Replies...Online reviews act as a form of social proof that could be more effective and reliable than advertising in influencing their purchase decisions. In psychology and sociology, social proof is a phenomenon wherein people copy the actions of others when choosing how to behave in certain situations. Social proof in the form of reviews helps customers make a decision, feel confident in their choice, and be a part of society.

However, not all reviews should be trusted, as research shows that up to 30% of them online are fake, while 16-50% could be manipulated to suit the brand. False feedback is often written by paid individuals or robots and often misrepresents the genuine customer experience and is very misleading and deceptive.

It can be difficult to spot them, but there are a few telltale signs that consumers can look out for. Like, for example, reviewer history. Usually, fake reviews are left by profiles that are newly created and have few reviews or have posted them in unrelated categories. Then, look at their use of language. If they’re using overly positive or negative language, it can be a red flag. Authentic feedback tends to be more balanced and includes both the positives and negatives.

In addition, if their descriptions of the product seem very vague or overly generic, it’s another sign that their review might be untrustworthy. Genuine reviewers often provide information about specific features, benefits, or issues they encountered with the product.

I used to take Ambien every night to go to sleep. Apparently, I did things without remembering. It wasn't sleep walking, more like operating in a haze with memory loss. I would frequently cook food, and once, I left the gas stove on overnight. Once, I ordered something I had been wanting, but I selected overnight shipping to my friend's house. When she told me, the next day, I was baffled. It was difficult, but I stopped using Ambien every night and only use it when I need to get sleep before something important, the next day.
Marie BellaDonna 8 months ago (edited)
My husband was on Ambien for a short time. He did a lot of weird shít too. Sometimes he even did stuff that scared me! One night, after he took it, he put a ONE minute hamburger in the microwave for TEN MINUTES, and then came back to the bedroom and WENT TO SLEEP. The whole house filled with smoke. I had to wake my preschooler son up and take him out to the car, til it cleared out. Thirteen years later, and my son still remembers that night! I don't think he-or any of us, for that matter-will ever forget! Husband stopped taking Ambien soon after that, because he scared himself that night. And he's on some other meds now that interact badly with it, so he couldn't take it anymore even if he wanted to. But he doesn't, not ever again. And I'm glad! That stuff scared the héll out of me!!

If you ever come across a fake review, please do everyone else a favor and report it. The process varies from website to website, but it should be fairly straightforward. In the report, you should support your claim by using evidence that could include specifics like unusual language patterns, repeated phrases across multiple products, or timing patterns that seem strange.

To combat disingenuous feedback even more, consumers should leave their own authentic reviews. The more specific and honest, the better! Including photos or videos can also help the review look more trustworthy and give even more information about the products than words would probably ever do.

Once upon a mid-day sunny, while I savored Nuts 'N Honey, With my Tuscan Whole Milk, 1 gal, 128 fl. oz., I swore As I went on with my lapping, suddenly there came a tapping, As of some one gently rapping, rapping at the icebox door. 'Bad condensor, that,' I muttered, 'vibrating the icebox door - Only this, and nothing more.' Not to sound like a complainer, but, in an inept half-gainer, I provoked my bowl to tip and spill its contents on the floor. Stupefied, I came to muddle over that increasing puddle, Burgeoning deluge of that which I at present do adore - Snowy Tuscan wholesomeness exclusively produced offshore - Purg'ed here for evermore. And the pool so white and silky, filled me with a sense of milky Ardor of the type fantastic of a loss not known before, So that now, to still the throbbing of my heart, while gently sobbing, I retreated, heading straightway for the tempting icebox door - Heedless of that pitter-patter tapping at the icebox door - I resolved to have some more.
