Review:“The Pink Stuff Miracle Power Foaming Toilet Cleaner is fantastic! This cleaner is incredibly easy to use—just pour it in, and it activates on its own, creating a thick pink foam that really tackles grime. I love how effective it is at removing stains and leaving my toilet looking spotless and fresh.” -Erica

Review:“Super squishy, but firm (it really is close to the feeling of kneading bread dough). It ALWAYS goes back to its original square shape, no matter how you stretch it or squeeze it. It stretches decently far. It has a nice weight to it and is a pretty good size in my smaller hands. The texture of it does collect hairs and dust, but washes and dries easily. I don’t like that you can’t choose a color, but I was very happy I received the blue cube. A nice, quiet fidget.” -Keller

Review:“It’s waaaaay thicker then I thought it would be but surprisingly very light! Love they sectioned the categories in chapters like “crime” “history” etc. I also like that I can literally just open the book at random and just start reading which is perfect for those odd 5-10minutes you need to kill.” -Bunny

Review:“This was a fun surprise. My 6 yr old granddaughter and I had fun exploring different ways to use this. The soft “noodles”, as she called them, fit easily in the slots with just enough light pressure to “pop” them in and out of the grooves. It’s very sturdy, easy to use, and well worth the money. I even find myself just sitting and working with it while gathering my thoughts.” -marie spaulding

My new favorite thing, hands down.” -Amazon Customer

Review:“I am a believer!!! I was skeptical that these would work, but was desperate to try them because I kept having to throw away fruits and vegetables way before their time. This is the second time I have bought this item. They work so good! But I bought a second set so I could use them in the other crisper. I no longer toss out produce because they went bad before I could eat them. I use it for: apples, plums, salad, broccoli, and guacamole (because once the container is open, it spoils fast). I have not tried it with bananas or oranges, as I did not have room for them in the crisper with all the apples I keep on hand.” -BlondieGal

Review:“Okay, I have struggled with dark under eyes my whole life - ever since I was 11 I noticed them and felt self conscious about them. That insecurity has continued into my 20s which led to me purchasing this eye cream. I initially did not plan on reordering this at all as I didn’t think I was seeing any results. However, I was looking in the mirror today and shocked at how much brighter my under eyes looked without makeup!” -Em

Review:“My sink was blocked and I saw great reviews of this item on Amazon. It arrived within 48 hrs from the time I placed the order till it reached my door! Wow! Great size for my kitchen sink. I was worried it might be a marketing trick with the amazing functions and cost less than $10. However, I’m glad I gave it a try!!! Looks great and clear my sink after a few plunges. Read the instructions before using it.” -Boston Back Bay

Review:“I applied this at 6:29 pm. It is currently 8:04pm. The fact that it is working heavily and so effectively in such short amount of time is stunning.

Love this product.” -Miguel Castellano
