  Horrible quality image on the poster

  By Bryan Hamade, July 5, 2013

  The message also sucks. Higher education = a sentence to a life of indentured servitude in the hopes of paying off the heaps of debt.

  Just do it

  By Joseph Lauren “Joey”, February 13, 2013

  I’ll admit, first glance at the packaging and I was a little worried. Well…GUESS WHAT? NO! NAY, I SAY! This product has turned my tiny dorm room into a magically lit tranquarium that changes colors! I feel like a fishy in a tiny fish bowl in paradise…only…I have a computer. I s*** you not, as I type this review, I am being distracted by the mesmerizing, changing colored lights projected all across my room by this tiny little box. I’ll admit, you shouldn’t buy it for the speakers. I didn’t. But then again I haven’t tried them yet. They could be really good, and I wouldn’t even know it. So look for another review talking about the speakers. Back to the lights…I sit underneath my changing-color, ocean-waved purple, green, and yellow ceiling, slowly drifting in and out of the illusion of space-time, reconciling with this fragile existence I have created for myself. THIS THING MAKES LIFE MORE POIGNANT (I don’t know what that word means)! I TELL YOU! BUY THIS! TAKE MY MONEY NOW!

  A true wonder of a magnet

  By Daniel Haun, August 22, 2013

  I have been looking at this magnet for a while but could no longer pass it up after the 17% discount. My personal space program will just have to wait. I deducted two stars for ineffective packaging, as the UPS delivery driver could not get it loose from the side of his truck. They eventually had to just cut the side out of the truck, causing me to have to pay for repairs. On the upside, I now have a 1’ by 1’ square piece of UPS truck, which I use for a nightstand. Oh, also, when I set the box on my kitchen table, it pulled my fridge across the room, my car from my driveway, and the collar and tags from my neighbor’s Cocker Spaniel. It compressed all of these into a Higgs boson. Recommended for serious hobbyists/particle physicists only.

  For the most fun, you really need two!

  By Vic, August 29, 2013

  As magnets go, we all know that it’s more fun with two. You can make them spin when put next to each other when the poles are the same…except in this case, the whole house spins! Tons of fun! With the amount you save on Disney vacations and the like over the years, it’s quite a bargain! Of course, you have to undo the plumbing and such first, but if you plan ahead, it’s not too big a problem. All in all, it’s been worth its weight in gold! (Well, a bit more if you go by the actual price, but you get the gist.) Highly recommend.

  Okay if you’re on a budget

  By dgl, August 23, 2013

  It’s not bad, per se. It definitely works great at holding the kids’ drawings on the fridge. It’s just that I was looking for something a little more classy. Call me whatever you will, but I like NICE things. Things that flash “luxury,” and this isn’t exactly cutting it. For most middle-management types it will do, but hopefully maker will release a more high-end version. Would definitely be willing to shell out at least 2x for a champagne-gold color version.

  Never has laundering drug money been so easy!

  By Yote, August 22, 2013

  I’ve been looking for a way to launder hundreds of millions of dollars in drug money, and this is perfect! Simply buy it, tell them you don’t want it, and return it! Plus, it’s Honeywell! Need them to duck out of that government contract so your company can swoop in? You’re looking right at the magnetic key to solve your problems!

  Magtastic

  By James Anthony Boersma “T-Storm”, August 22, 2013

  Pros: I pinned a phone book to my fridge. I cured 4 people of cancer, from across the farmers market. Wooly Willy has never looked better. Cons: All of my credit cards have been erased, the price, and Boy Scout Troop 317 is still lost in my backyard somewhere.

  Lined Cat Muzzle

  Check out the real thing: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002T1ICX0

  4.2 out of 5 stars

  Name: Lined Cat Muzzle

  ASIN: B002T1ICX0

  Price: $12.47

  Pet-care professionals choose our Guardian Gear nylon cat muzzles to help stop biting and chewing by difficult cats. Made from strong nylon fabric with a fully adjustable strap and Velcro fasteners for an easy fit. Easy for owners to use, but hard for cats to remove. Place muzzle over the cat’s snout. Make sure it fits comfortably. Bring straps behind cat’s head and fasten Velcro tabs. Adjust Velcro so muzzle fits snugly but not tightly. Use only with direct supervision. Do not leave cat muzzled for long periods of time. Prolonged use of a muzzle inhibits cat’s natural cooling system, which can result in a life-threatening situation for the animal. Seller makes no warranty, expressed or implied, when this product is used on cats known to be vicious. Available in black color. Use for medium cats of 6–12-pound weight. Measures 7½-inch length by 4½-inch width by ½-inch height.

  “Look” No Further!

  By Jerome Albertson, August 14, 2013

  Good luck “muzzling” your enthusiasm! Here’s the perfect accessory to stop your cat’s annoying habit of opening its eyes and looking around at things! The mask even prevents the #2 annoying habit of cats: the way they eat food & vocalize emotions with their mouths. No thanks, please! This is a medium-sized mask that fits perfectly around my cat Fudge’s head. If only they made one for my ex-wife too! Anyway, here’s some “pros & cons”:

  PROS:

  - No awkward moments when visitors enter and have to look at a cat’s eyes & mouth.

  - No cat staring at me while I conduct important experiments.

  - No cats silently judging my dance skills.

  - Great weight-loss tool for cats!

  CONS:

  - Cat keeps bumping into valuable furniture and walls.

  - Cat doesn’t seem to eat much out of the dish anymore.

  - Not getting any new feedback on my dancing.

  - Mask would look better with flames painted on the sides, in a race-car theme.

  I’d recommend this to all the pet owners out there who love their cats but hate their pesky faces!

  *BONUS TIP: This works just as well on raccoons, possums, and large rats, if those are your cu
ddly creatures of choice. Does not work on squirrels or nosy neighbors.

  Great Product—Wonderful Addition to My Cat’s Life

  By Ryan Kaplan, January 28, 2010

  I bought this product, despite the negative review, and boy am I glad I did. Firstly, my cat loves it. I have a very sunny apartment, so whenever my cat is trying to take a nap, he’ll come up and nudge me to put his “eye mask” on. Secondly, my cat is a very attractive cat, and a lot of his young life he had to deal with people snapping pictures of him and trying to pet him. With this mask, he hides his beauty, and more importantly, forces people to find his inner beauty…his aura. Finally, this mask is a challenge. My cat is extremely driven and loves to challenge himself. So whenever he feels like jumping from couches and running between table legs becomes too easy, he hops up, licks my face, and gives me that look that says: “Throw that mask on so I can show you my physical prowess…blindfolded!!!”

  Great Nutritional Supplement!!!

  By Leland M, August 23, 2013

  A few months ago I began having issues of not being able to keep weight on. My good friend and neighbor, Jack LaLanne, suggested juicing. I took this to mean lots of creatine powder, steroids, cheap cognac, and shark semen. Still that didn’t help me keep what weight I had left. I opted to consult a professional, Yahoo Answers, and concluded I was either hypoglycemic or had a tapeworm. It was a blessing that, shortly after, I happened across this little gem. You see, so far as I’m concerned this cures both possible prognoses. My blood sugar is at an all-time high. I know this from the onset of frequent naps, or, as a physician might call it, “diabetic comas,” whatever that means. AND I’m sure that any pesky tapeworms that may have found a home in my organs are well nourished now. My weight is up quite dramatically, and I could not be more satisfied. I give it five stars, but if they made this in, say, a 55-gallon drum, I’d be as happy as the tapeworms I have gestating within me.

  A surefire path to a healthy life!

  By Seth, June 21, 2013

  I hadn’t thought before about how important diabetes is to a growing boy. My son, ostracized from the mainstream cliques because of his working pancreas, would come home hopelessly depressed—craving some recognition for his future in the entrenched world of football scholarships. He plays well, but kids today are just too involved in their identities as victims to really accept “healthies” anymore. After one particular hard practice, Billy came home covered in spinach stains because the vegans decided to protest that day. I hopped onto the Internet to find the easiest way to get my son out of shape. Lo and behold, the answer was right there in our favorite morning cereals. A few days later, the package came in and I served it to Billy in a three-gallon bowl filled with heavy cream. These became his go-to meals, eating them at least six times a day along with as much frozen sausage as he could stomach to stave off malnutrition. Fast forward two months, Billy’s up 150 lb. with no chance in sports anymore, and he’s never been more popular. Type 2 diabetes fell on him like a linebacker on ice skates, and we couldn’t be prouder. Now if only Amazon had something for our daughter to grow that muffin top she’s always wanted, I could rest easy and finally let them take my feet.

  Too Much

  By ZEtronica, August 26, 2013

  We can’t get rid of it all; there’s to much of it. We tried burning it, but it kept multiplying. We eat it for breakfast, lunch, dinner, but the pile never gets smaller. Our son has turned into pure dehydrated marshmallows. Please, make it stop. I’m begging you.

  Just how BIG is the package of marshmallows that are being delivered? I am hoping to swim through them like Scrooge McDuck…

  You could hot tub in them, or better yet a kiddie pool. Forty pounds is a lot, but to swim, you’d need more like 120.

  Great watch for the price, however NO CALCULATOR

  By FantasticJohnny, March 14, 2013

  I was really happy about this purchase initially. My wife just left me and took the kids; I have my dog and my train collection, so I decide to go for it and get the Rolex. It looks great, fits like a glove, doesn’t fall off when I’m lotioning, and I always know what time it is! Then comes the problem…I’m at my local thrift shop getting a new pair of shoes and decide to get some new underwear (who can really only buy one thing at a thrift shop? With those prices it’s a steal!) when it’s time to add up all the prices, I go to the watch for help with my addition, and that’s when I realized…this stupid watch doesn’t have a calculator! I feel duped, but other than that I’m really happy with how it sparkles.

  Fantastic watch for the price

  By Ed G, September 14, 2012

  I had been looking for a new watch for a budget and so far, this is my absolute favorite. 40,000 dollars later I lost it, but I thought, Man, I love that watch so much I’m gonna buy a second one! Later on, my child got kidnapped, and the ransom was set at $10,000, and I thought, Man, I wouldn’t eat peanut butter for that amount of cash (I HATE peanut butter). So I said, “Here, take this watch; you really need to stop underselling yourself.” As you can see, these are good for all kinds of occasions! The only downside is the make. These feel hefty, and the metal feels cheap, and I swear those are the gemstones my daughter uses for arts and crafts on the watch face. All in all, you get a great watch for the money! This is my 8th one! You know what they say about Rolexi (the formal plural of Rolex): It takes a licking and keeps on ticking.

  What a waste

  By TheOGusername, July 1, 2013

  Alright so to start off I purchased this with my uncle’s credit card. Needless to say he was not happy. When I received the package the watch was made of legos similar to this one: LEGO Kids’ 9002908 Star Wars Darth Vader Watch…I also noticed a little note saying that the package was stolen by an African mine worker. I was not impressed by the overall quality.

  Maybe…and Maybe Not

  By George Takei, July 26, 2013

  This is the perfect gift to give yourself or a coworker. Asked a simple yes or no question from the boss, such as, “Will the report be done on time?” or, “Will you be able to cover the books for me while I’m away?” the box legitimates “yes” and “no” answers. “Hang on, let me consult Schrodinger’s Cat Executive Box for that answer. Aha! See? It says the answer is both yes and no.”

  “That is, right now, knowing nothing other than your question, the answer could be either yes or no. But when we actually get to that point, we’ll know whether it actually was yes or no. But that box always gives that answer.”

  “So does quantum physics, and no one is arguing with that.”
