Not the sensory experience I expected

This ball set was not as fun as I expected.  The balls are very hard and difficult for little hands to hold.  The yellow ball that looks like a mine is pretty great because it's almost like a ball covered with pacifiers.. other than that, it wasn't what I expected.

BLAH, this does not suit my taste!  The citrus taste is sharp, not mild at all!  I couldn't get through one cup.  I made it as ice tea, and I even tried watering it down.  But this is gross to me.  The taste of lemon rind and orange rind is so intense, not light and refreshing like i had hoped.  I love Twining tea (not as much as Tazo though), but this one is not a hit for me.

Personal taste of course, others will love it. I'm sure.  But that's my review.

My review title is my honest assessment of what this feels like. You know when you leave butter out of the fridge and it gets warm and soft? That's about the consistency of this goop. And yet it has a weird stringyness like it has glue in it. It smells like cold cream to me, which was not a good thing. Worst of all, it felt terrible in my hair. At first it was sticky and didn't blend in easily, and it made my hands sticky so I had to wash them. When it dried it made my hair crunchy. After I worked my fingers through it to get the crunchyness out, it felt greasy like I hadn't washed my hair in ages. I guess it just doesn't work with my hair type.

I like other American Crew products, but for my purposes this is the worst hair product I've ever tried. I got it in a pack of two, and I'm literally planning to throw them both in the trash if my wife doesn't want them.

I thought it was going to be more soothing instruments and more steel drums in a quiet way.  This is not at all what I expected.

This product is not it all what I expected. I really did try to like it especially since I like so many of the other products in this line. But it seems like its hit and miss every time. At least Im not allergic to the ingredients. But there is a smell to it like it is hypo allergenic or trying to be. In other words it smells like a product that is supposedly fragrance free, yet still has the fragrance of something that Is trying to smell as though its hypoallergenic. There is no pleasant or unpleasant smell, just a non-smell to it. I tried to return this product but it is non-refundable. I cannot recommend this product at all. It does nothing for me

I ordered this, expecting the spinach and artichoke dip to taste like spinach and artichoke. It tasted nothing like I expected, not a hint of spinach or artichoke flavor even though I could see both of those ingredients in the dip. The taste reminded me more of condensed cream of mushroom soup or something, but before you add water to it. It was just weird. It wasn't *bad* tasting, but definitely not spinach and artichoke at all.

I had some high hopes for these tablets from all the hype I've heard over the years. They're interesting indeed, but just not what I had expected. Tried the lemon trick, and while it did change the flavor, I didn't notice anything too amazing from the change. Maybe this is just my experience, since my friends commented that they changed their tastebuds in a more dramatic way, but I won't make the purchase again unless they're a little more inexpensive.

These were not comfortable, and not very good for grip. As a consequence, I felt like a lobster being tortured by being forced to remove pots for a stove. Not quite the experience that I had wished for at all.

I don't like to give bad ratings for any product, but I will state I absolutely did not like the taste. It was nothing like what I expected, so if you haven't tried chestnuts before, you may be in for a surprise. It was not nutty like I thought it would be. For others, this would probably be fine.

I guess I was expecting some intense taste than what I would expect from one of the leading supermarket brands but I did not get that

I wanted to read this book because the main character has synesthesia, and the overall premise seemed like a sort of fantasy type that I might enjoy. Sadly, this book was just not for me. The main character was (I assume) supposed to be clumsy and quirky, but she ended up just grating on my nerves with her ridiculous personality. I was expecting to see more of her synesthesia, but all I got was a few mentions of color here and there that were so vague I wasn't sure what was going on (and this is coming from a synesthete). Meanwhile, all of the characters seemed to be preoccupied with sex and couldn't seem to interact with each other without wanting to debauch constantly. Maybe if theyd been more believable and less self-absorbed, maybe if there was more depth to the story, I could have stuck with it all the way to the end. As it is, I had to mark this one as DNF (did not finish) about halfway through.

Types of synesthesia included: sound-color? feeling-color? Im not sure

How well was it executed? Poorly. There were brief mentions of colors sometimes, but they were so vague that I was never sure what evoked them.

I did not feel like this smelled very coco-nutty.  It was a bit more soapy smelling and quite fragrant/strong.  Overall, the product works quite well, but if you are buying it to get a fresh coconut smell, this is not the one for you.

This was a first time for me and black quinoa.  It is my least favorite as compared to white and red.  The seeds are very tiny and they almost feel like sand in my mouth (without the grittiness).  I cooked according to package directions, but I think I will cook and steep it a bit longer next time as it didn't absorb all the cooking liquid and that may have contributed to the granular quality.

I was looking forward to it being more "crunchy" than the other varieties as described by other reviewers, but that is not how I would describe the finished product per my first trial.  Obviously taste in food is very personal.  The quinoa itself was free of foreign matter and seemed....  just not my thing.

One other point:  the seeds are so tiny they escaped even my specially purchased fine, mesh strainer during washing.  I will line the strainer with a couple of layers of cheesecloth for my next attempt.

I recently purchased these headphones from amazon as my first set of over-the-ear style headphones hoping for a better sound quality than the older foldable and portable Sennheisers (which I am still quite satisfied with).  i was hoping for something that would sit more comfortably on my ears with a equivalent sound quality.

Unfortunately, I have to say, these headphones didn't meet either of my expectations.  After about 15 minutes of listening, my ears get uncomfortably warm and force me to take the headphones off.  In addition, the sound quality was in my amatuer view was muddy compared to the previous Sennheisers.

The cord design is too long and the wrap around device they have added is heavy and unweildy.  Next time I will go to try out a set of headphones before purchasing online.

I was pretty excited about a no touch system that could do so many jobs, but unfortunately this product didn't live up to my expectations. As a cleaning product I suppose it is ok. The smell is nice. I found it alone doesn't clean, but when I use a towel to turn it into a soapy lather it works well on my counters. For dishes it didn't really work well. I'll stick to my other detergent. Also I can't recommend this for hands. I have sensitive skin and this made my hands dry and itchy. No way would I want my kids washing with this on a regular basis. So all in all this is an ok product in a fancy package. With the price of refills I'm sure this will find a way under my counter to collect dust once the provided container of soap is all gone.
