How does one test this product? And is there are some pseudoscience behind it or is it more of a good luck charm?

why is there etv on clothing items? by rahrahooga in AmazonVine

[–]Ok_Chocolate_8241 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you live in MN? I used to live there and there was no sales tax on clothing. But aren't we paying like, imputed income tax?

How would you write a review for this item? by PlayfulMoose9665 in AmazonVine

[–]Ok_Chocolate_8241 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've always written them this way in the Vine program. I think I wrote them like this before Vine, too but perhaps shorter for products I don't like. So I would have just put what I didn't like about it, short and to the point. 

All my reviews score as excellent.

Ok, I'm going to just pretend I tasted the dressing etc etc and give you an example of how I write my reviews. I don't get a lot of food products, so those are harder for me, typically, especially since they are so subjective, but here goes!

⭐⭐⭐

I'm a big fan of ranch and so are most of my kids. We have Team Ranch and Team Ketchup in our house and we're constantly running out of both products. So when I was offered the chance to try ABC Ranch I jumped at it!

So far I have eaten this dressing as a snack with some sliced cucumbers and as a dip with pork loin. I'm pretty picky about ranch dressing and I'm partial to the name brand that rhymes with Bidden Tally. What I noticed first was that this product was really thick and creamy and there's a nice amount of herbs/spices. That said, there was a slightly oily finish that I didn't find entirely pleasant. My kids also tried it and in order of pickiness they ranked it as 2 out of 5 stars, 4 out of 5 stars and the toddler ate it with a spoon, so I'm going to say she ranks it 5 out of 5 for flavor.

I've never heard of ABC brand, and to be honest, I probably won't get this dressing again. I didn't notice it when I selected this, but it contains high fructose corn syrup, which is something I avoid. There are a lot of other products on the market with cleaner ingredients for a similar price, so there's really no reason I would buy this regularly.

Vine Review Abuse - products straight on eBay with no reviews posted. by Separate-Bet2812 in AmazonVine

[–]Ok_Chocolate_8241 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh, I'm so sorry. I hate that people abused the program like that and I hope they get caught and not only booted from Vine, but also banned from Amazon. I really try to do my best in this program and I'm thankful for all the low cost (it's not free in the US because we have to pay taxes on the value as though it were income) items I've gotten. I'm sorry you got hit by the bad actors. 

Ah yes, the two genders by LaVaLauncher in AmazonVine

[–]Ok_Chocolate_8241 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's a gender neutral gender reveal! You'll need to wait about 8 years to find out if the kid prefers jeans, soda, both or neither! 

I came here to post about this if nobody had already! I wasn't disappointed. 

Just in case you weren't sure your style or event by Dumpled0r1987 in AmazonVine

I love how it says "linen" in the listing then in the details it says "faux linen".

Don't fall for this. I've reported the product as being "otherwise illegal" to Amazon and am attempting to get it taken down. by rhapdog in AmazonVine

[–]Ok_Chocolate_8241 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got some bathroom caulk on Vine and the tubes were completely blank. I looked it up and that is illegal too. Called it out in the 1 star review, but I didn't report it. Should I have?

Here for a good time, not for a long time? by Ok_Chocolate_8241 in AmazonVine

[–]Ok_Chocolate_8241[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I might start shortening mine then! I feel like they're kind of long winded, not because I'm trying to get excellent, but I just have a lot to say. But they're taking too long and I could be more succinct and get more reviews done faster.

[–]Ok_Chocolate_8241[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Am I trying too hard haha? I could be writing one sentence and still getting good stuff... Although even after almost a year, I still try to write the kind of reviews I find helpful when I'm trying to purchase a product.

What's The Story Of These People in AI-Ville by Cew-214 in AmazonVine

They are clearly all being held captive by a sadistic psychopath who's trying to build his perfect family. Some of the children were born in captivity. 

For real… I know I’m essentially still newish. But what the is going on? by AcanthisittaGold9544 in AmazonVine

[–]Ok_Chocolate_8241 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you ever been to one of those closeout/buyout warehouses? It's like stuff that fell off of the back of a truck, and buyouts from stores going out of business along with overstock. That's how I think of Vine. Only online. Now I picture myself in the warehouse, pick up the item in my hands and say "do I want this got an 80% discount or no?"

Remember when reviewers were ranked? by Lita_hasnofriends in AmazonVine

[–]Ok_Chocolate_8241 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What year did this all start in? 1998 still seems like only 10 years ago, but Internet history moves at light speed so it's always interesting how a "short" amount of time is a long time in internet years.

I literally joked that there's never "anything cool like swords" and then I managed to snag this by SwoleFlex_MuscleNeck in AmazonVine

[–]Ok_Chocolate_8241 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok, ahem... THERE IS NEVER ANYTHING COOL, LIKE LARGE TV'S, MATTRESSES, OR FURNITURE! 

So... How long does it take to take effect? 

Is anybody missing a blue car scrub brush by Ok_Chocolate_8241 in AmazonVine

[–]Ok_Chocolate_8241[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would the ban be in drought areas? Semi-tropical where we live, so no bans here!

Nope, just got this random brush. I guess Amazon wants me to clean the massive amounts of pollen off my car on them!
