Proxies

A few friends and I split a bottle of "Blanc Sheep" from the Proxies brand last night. I can't say it tasted like any wine I've had before, and had a confusing flavor at first (we compared it to broth and tea before deciding it actually tasted just like Smarties), but definitely grew on us. I would be interested in trying more Proxies because the flavors are really complex and interesting.

Feedback

Based on the bottle I tried, I felt the flavor was more similar to tea (a good, upscale tea) than wine. I am an Acid League fan and am excited to try more Proxies and explore additional flavors. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a new NA option to try.

doublesoul really put my other everyday socks to shame. They're lightly cushioned and breathable, making them a super comfortable sock for daily wear.

Feedback

I would recommend doublesoul socks for someone looking to elevate their everyday socks. I can already tell these are going to hold up better than the cheap multipacks I have picked up in the past. Though I did get them at discount, they seem comparable to other sock brands (i.e. Bombas) when it comes to retail pricing.

I'm a big fan of word games and think Blabbi is a really clever, different game. It really makes you think! I've only played in casual mode so far (the no-scoring version for 2 players or 8+). I would love to try it with a larger group. I think the game materials are really well made and feel durable.

Feedback

I'd agree with other reviews that the retail price of this game feels too high. The materials and concept feel too simple for the $59.99 price tag.

Imperfect Foods

I've been an Imperfect customer since 2020. During the pandemic, it really helped ease grocery shopping anxieties. Since then, the selection has only gotten better and the box remains our main source of groceries. I find the quality of foods to be great, the customer service is prompt and delivery is seamless. While the prices may be slightly higher than they are at the grocery store, I feel like it has saved me money overall because it eliminates the impulse buys of the store. But I still get to try new things, including a lot of brands I've seen here on Thingtesting.

Feedback

Eggs are hard to deliver! I've seen Imperfect try different packaging to reduce the amount of breakage, but it still happens. I just consider it the cost of convenience!

I've made two purchases from Studs and have been really happy with the quality of the earrings. I have three piercings on each ear, and really enjoy the range of sizes and mix-and-match styles. I'm really happy with the quality for the price. Some of the tiny sets really are tiny — just something to be aware of as you shop! The unboxing / packaging is also super cute, they ship with scratch off coupons, dime bags, stickers and a neon reusable pouch.

Burrow

I purchased a Burrow sectional in 2019. I spent forever comparing it to others, as it was my first 'new' couch purchase (aka not a hand-me-down or Craigslist find). With two dogs and a cat, I was motivated by their pet-friendly fabrics. When the couch shipped, it was missing a cushion — customer service was responsive and quick to send it, but it was a little bit of a bummer. The couch was simple to put together, and just as simple to adjust when I rearranged my living room about 6 times over quarantine, but ultimately I'm not happy with the quality for the price. I don't feel that the fabric held up to it's pet-friendly promise and after a few years, the legs needed constant tightening to keep the couch upright.

Feedback

I wish the couch was more sturdy. I don't feel like it's kept up to wear and tear over the last three years, and for the price I'd expect it to hold up a lot longer.

Bachan's

Bachan's has quickly become a go-to condiment in my kitchen! The flavor is great, I've tried both the original and gluten-free versions and the taste is very consistent. It's really versatile — I've used it in stir fries, salads, sandwiches. I recommend if you're looking to add umami to any dish!! I am a fan of the lighter consistency, but it's a lighter sauce than your typical thick barbecue sauce.

Feedback

No notes. Love it.

These are so good! I tried a variety pack and all the flavors were equally good. These are the perfect poolside drink, and it's surprising how low-cal they are for how good they taste. I purchased online, but would love to see them in retailers soon!

I have found the Mighty Patch stickers to be very effective. I'd recommend wearing overnight for best results. The stickers are durable and don't fall off — sometimes I forget that I have them on!

Feedback

It can be easy to fly through a pack pretty quickly, so I try to use sparingly.

I am a person who gets sunburnt very easily, so I'm always looking for skincare products that do double duty. I bought the Superscreen Daily Moisturizer and it's been a great addition to my skincare routine.

Feedback

No notes, I'm excited to try more Supergoop! products.
