Honest Product Reviews

When most people hear about a new product, the first thing they want to know is what other people think of the product. I think that is why companies like Consumer Reports has done so well for so long. They actually test out products and then give an unbiased review.

I don’t put a whole lot of reviews on this blog, but I will tell you that some of the highest traffic I have received on individual blog articles on Suncoast Scribe has been for when I reviewed Pizza Hut’s Pizza Mia, the movie Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium, and Kids 2 in 1 Smoothers by Suave. Readers like to know they are getting a real product review from someone who is not sitting behind a desk at an ad agency.

(To be fair, I actually have worked in public relations, advertising, and television production in my past, so I understand HOW to write a review. Still, I pride myself on this website for giving honest, unforced opinions.)

Anyway, all of this is to say that I also appreciate reading honest reviews written by others. I have some friends who actually write blogs 100% dedicated to reviewing products, usually from the point of view of a mom. One of those blogs is Lisa Reviews. Lisa actually writes several highly-readable blogs, but this particular blog is dedicated to relevant, topical product reviews.  Recently she has reviewed Town House FlipSides, Bee Movie, and the LeapFrog LeapStart Learning Table — just to name a few.

I think you’ll really like it.

I took your advice about the Pizza Mia’s and didn’t order them. I will always listen to a mom before I listen to anybody else.

Whew, another Pizza Crisis diverted!

One of the local grocerty stores has Tombstone on sale B1G1 this week, so that makes them about $2.75 each. It’s cheaper than Pizza Mia and worlds better in taste.

What about the new Tuscani pasta dishes from
Pizza Hut? Given what you said about the Pizza Mia sauce, I’m wonder about the quality of the pasta sauces, but the Chicken Fettucine looks good.
Have you tried it?

I have not tried the pastas yet. Back when I was in college in the 80s, I worked at a Pizza Hut and the pasta we served was pretty good.

I agree the current Tuscani products look pretty good and if I do try them, I will write a review.
