Mr. Plow, if the phrases "there is no alcohol" and "While you won't get a buzz off them" don't make that abundantly clear, I am not sure what would. 702045@blogcritics.org Fri, 14 Mar 2008 14:41:24 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/02/26/102715.php#comment-702021 Perhaps what anyone who is thinking of getting them would like to know is "Do they affect your taste buds and nothing else?" 702021@blogcritics.org Fri, 14 Mar 2008 11:32:25 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/02/26/102715.php#comment-699366 Matt, Bennett, & Josh: Calm down, boys. Maybe the lesson here is that it's hard to write a substantive review of a lollipop without sounding like a press release for the company? 699366@blogcritics.org Mon, 3 Mar 2008 09:39:49 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/02/26/102715.php#comment-698376 Personally, I'd like to know how many licks it takes to get to the center, and then, perhaps, how many other orifices El Bicho tried to stick the pops into. What the crap, people! It's a dang lollipop, how much more of a review do you want? 698376@blogcritics.org Wed, 27 Feb 2008 19:07:57 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/02/26/102715.php#comment-698370 Looks to me like two paragraphs of history, a paragraph on the product, and a paragraph to help interested parties obtain the product. I don't see the problem. Hell, it's a lollipop. How many complexities are there to cover? 698370@blogcritics.org Wed, 27 Feb 2008 18:20:44 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/02/26/102715.php#comment-698365 Honestly, how much more can you say about a flavored lollipop? I think the author did a hell of a job in stretching out the article to meet the requirements. 698365@blogcritics.org Wed, 27 Feb 2008 18:03:05 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/02/26/102715.php#comment-698354 I don't think the 300 minimum is a problem. Maybe more description of the product? You spent two paragraphs on absinthe and two sentences on what you thought of the pops. 698354@blogcritics.org Wed, 27 Feb 2008 16:51:42 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/02/26/102715.php#comment-698235 People would want them if they enjoyed the taste of licorice, which is why I described them as "tasty treats." Sorry, if the review isn't up to your standards, but other than dealing with the perception that there may be alcohol in them, there's not much else to say about the item. What else do you want to know? The number of licks it takes to finish? The composition of the stick? If you have a problem with the new word minimum being 300 words, take it up with management because I didn't set the limit. 698235@blogcritics.org Tue, 26 Feb 2008 20:12:38 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/02/26/102715.php#comment-698176 What Phillip said. Not much reviewing going on in this article. 698176@blogcritics.org Tue, 26 Feb 2008 15:19:58 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/02/26/102715.php#comment-698132 So people would want these because of... marketing? 698132@blogcritics.org Tue, 26 Feb 2008 13:17:45 EST
