  Use Caution

  By Alan E. Schmidt “Monkey head”, November 16, 2011

  I write this from my hospital bed as I lay here slowly recovering from Night of the Taco. This is an excellent costume, but at one point I wished it had more padding. Much more. Big party, Halloween, needed to impress the chicks, saw this baby on Amazon, and I just knew. I knew my phone would be blowing up from the hotties after a night sporting this bad boy. I topped it off with the sombrero and strapped it down good using the drawstring. Oh yeah, the ladies were going to be butter. Wait till they see me break dance in full-on Taco suit. It is almost unfair for the other guys at the party. Too bad, so sad. Jimmy Ray picked me up in his pickup. With the suit, I could not fit in the cab. Had to ride in the back with his dog Cujo. At first Cujo just eyeballed me, sizing me up. The next events happened pretty quickly. It is all kind of a blur. Not sure at what point that Cujo decided that I was prey and eating me was an excellent choice. Not sure. What I am sure of…wearing this suit and standing up in the back of a truck doing 65 mph on a gravel road is a BAD idea. I took off like a kite in a hurricane. My last vision was the red taillights reflecting off Cujo’s smiling face as he watched his meal take flight. A flying taco. That dog must be really confused now.

  My advice:

  1) If there is any possibility that you will be traveling on a gravel road, do not purchase.

  2) If traveling in the back of a truck or a convertible, please strap yourself down and instruct driver that if you take off like a kite, slow down gradually to ease the rate of your descent.

  3) If the party you are going to is located in a dog park, do not purchase. This costume confuses them.

  4) If you have a friend named Jimmy Ray who is not very attentive and would not notice you missing until after the party—do not purchase.

  5) If there is even the slimmest of chances that you may defecate in this costume—do not purchase. After a short amount of time it forms a very, very strong bond between the suit and your skin.

  6) One last and final recommendation: If you go with the sombrero, do not cinch down the chin strap. At 65 mph, it transforms into a miniature noose as the wind tries to separate it from your head. If by some freak chance you break both your arms, it stays that way for a long time.

  Needs help

  By Homer, October 5, 2011

  A bit disappointing. As a taco aficionada for the past 60 years, I can say this costume lacks spice. It needs more “ingredients,” flashier fabrics and less foam. And toss the pairing with a sombrero. Add a “cilantro” hat, or a “cheese topper.”

  This toy is gangsta!

  By Dethonator, April 5, 2011

  I just got this toy from my bronies as a present for being manly. The moment I opened this package, I experienced the feeling of breaking the sound barrier with Rainbow Dash’s super-special-awesome Sonic-Rainboom. The toy is top notch and can handle deadly combat with my Gears of War action figures, plus it comes with some really neat accessories. I find the comb unnecessary, though, and would have been more satisfied with something more suitable for Rainbow Dash, like armor or a machete. Still, the brush can also be pretty useful if use your imagination. I recommend this 100%. HELL YEAH, FRIENDSHIP!

  So cool

  By Harleen Quinzel “Harley Quinn”, September 7, 2011

  She’s not 20% cooler, she’s one-hundred-and-twenty-percent cooler with this toy. I don’t know why there’s a squirrel with her, but hey, it works! So much fun making sonic rainbooms.

  It’s like a unicorn crapped a rainbow in my brain

  By Gray, April 25, 2011

  When I opened the package for this toy, the sheer amount of rainbow-colored awesome that flooded into the world destroyed my house in an instant. Using my last bit of strength, I managed to play with Rainbow Dash for five minutes before blacking out. A day later, I woke up in the intensive care unit of a nearby hospital. My hair had been turned into rainbows. Buy this toy, and you too can experience the ancient and powerful magic of Friendship.

  A must-have for any collection!

  By Titus Andronicus, August 23, 2011

  This is a great toy! I chose this one because Rainbow Dash is the coolest. Dashy looks great on my shelf between Predator and Mechagodzilla. I’m not completely happy with the way the two-dimensional flash characters translate to a 3d model, but I guess that’s what stickers are for. I would absolutely recommend these to a friend.

  Not good enough

  By Luke S “Luke”, October 27, 2011

  Serious Brony here. These look nothing like the characters from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic (its on the box for god’s sake…). I noticed, and your children will, too.

  At the speed of a Sonic-Rainboom!

  By HootHoot, April 19, 2011

  My Little Pony Basic Rainbow Dash I got this in the mail at the speed of a Sonic-Rainboom. When I opened the package I felt that my life got 20% cooler in under 10 seconds flat. I am now ready to go on big adventures full of friendship and magic. The comb sort of works but not really it kind of messes up the hair more but it serves its purpose.

  4.4 out of 5 stars

  Name: Accoutrements Squirrel Mask

  This full-sized, adult Squirrel Mask is the perfect thing to freak out your neighbors. Just slip it on, sneak over, and steal birdseed until they notice. If it freaks out people, just imagine what it will do for squirrels! They’ll never come back to your yard again. Do not wear around dogs. Latex. Fits most adult heads.

  Creepy Squirrel

  By heidiB “heidibort2”, October 9, 2012

  Even a sweet 5-year-old can transform into a creepy squirrel. The dog is upset by her presence. What you may think will be cute is actually quite disturbing. My kids have been taking turns wearing this and jumping out from behind corners. Everyone is in a state of high alert. We have yet to try it out in the front yard, where we are inundated with a large squirrel population…

  My dream has finally come true

  By A.Joy, October 16, 2012

  I have spent my whole life wanting to be a real squirrel, knowing deep down inside that I should have been born a squirrel. I sit for hours outside under a tree with my squirrel friends just hoping that one day I won’t feel like an outsider but truly one of them. They are kind and tell me to not take it so hard and that it’s OK to be different, but deep down inside I know I am just a human…until now. Once I put on the mask, I was no longer an outsider anymore but a real squirrel. I felt for the first time in my life I wasn’t living a lie anymore, every day trying to be something that I’m not. And after my species reassignment surgery, I will be who I was meant to be, who I should have been in the first place: a squirrel.

  You can be a chipmunk, too!

  By Joe H, January 10, 2013

  I wore this on Halloween as a part of my Alvin of Alvin and the Chipmunks costume and no one said, “Hey, isn’t that a squirrel mask?” They were just like, “Dope costume, Al!” and then they would high-five me. So, 2-for-1 value, as far as I see it.zzzz

  Changed my life

  By Nadia Crecenzio, April 28, 2013

  The speedy delivery of this product, reaching my house in just 2 short days, was the ultimate sign that this was going to be the best purchase of my life. It arrived on a Friday morning, which was the start of the weekend, and that only meant one thing I needed to wear this in public. For once in my life I finally stood out. Heads turned. People admired me. The Squirrel Mask made my self-esteem blossom in ways I never thought it could have. I feel as if I can be someone with the Squirrel Mask. I can accomplish anything. There are no limits with the Squirrel Mask. Because of my Squirrel Mask purchase I decided to take a new path in life. I needed to put this new perspective of life into good use. So, that’s when I decided I wanted to become a Golf Ball Diver. About 300 million golf balls are lost each year in the United States alone. So many golf balls lose their lives. Become Unclaimed. Deserted. Misunderstood. The Squirrel Mask made me realize that I had to change this outcome. Those golf balls needed my help. I was ready to devote my life to assure the recovery and future safety of those 300 million golf balls. 1 Squirrel Mask purchase=300 million saved golf balls. If that’s not a good reason to purchase this product, I don’t know what is.

  Hot cougar in a squirrel mask

  By Lexi Bisbee, May 22, 2013

  I was unsure about this product until my good friend donned the mask at an outdoor beer garden, secured our group a table, and got this comment from a young patron sitting next to her. I would give it 10 stars if that were possible.

  Perfect for my squirrel standup one liners

  By Matt W, August 13, 2013

  I bought this to wear while performing a few of my squirrel one liners at a comedy festival. The mask was decently comfortable and brought many laughs from the crowd, which was what I wanted it to do.

  A few one liners:

  - When I realized “You are what you eat,” I realized that I was nuts!

  - Why do squirrels swim on their back?

  To keep their nuts dry!

  - How do you catch a squirrel with a Pamela Anderson fixation?

  Climb a tree and act like a chestnut.

  Used as part of a pirate costume. We safety pinned the hat to the head, and it was hilarious!

  Thank you

  By Jim Durham, April 6, 2013

  Your product has literally saved my life. I’ve always found knives too complicated to use as there’s way too much to remember; which way up, which way round, how to move it, etc. No more knife-based confusion misery for me.

  This product saves lives!

  By NotYourAvgBaker, April 15, 2013

  Obviously this is a valuable kitchen gadget that NOBODY can do without, but it’s much, much more. I have been a nurse in a burn unit for over 25 years. For those unaware, we get people in our triage in INTENSE pain. Often we are left with very little we can do to take the pain away outside of MAJOR drugs. One day one of the doctors, who is known as a rebel and thinks outside the box, reached into his coat and pulled out the Fox Run Butter Spreader. The other doctors stared in disbelief. Let me tell you something; with one stroke of this revolutionary product this woman’s pain went away. The butter applied the perfect amount of pressure to the tip of her finger, which had been burned by her mischievous son magnifying the sun on it while she was napping in a hammock. We all broke down in tears not believing what had just happened. It is now a requirement that all doctors in our hospital must carry the Fox Run Butter Spreader. The Fox Run Butter Spreader takes away pain and SAVES LIVES!

  Greatest butter spreader of all time.

  Have you tried using bread??

  By Rebecca Davidson “ruby_in_fl”, January 1, 2013

  Seriously, folks, stop wasting plastic! Get a piece of bread and break it in half or 4 pieces. Slice off a pat of butter and put on bread. Spread butter on corn. Eat bread. Duh.

  Doesn’t work!

  By Aaron, February 15, 2013

  While it seems everybody else has had good luck with this, I can’t in good conscience recommend the Fox Run Butter Spreader Stick. Sure, it’s made of heavy-duty plastic and is attractively designed, but c’mon! Whoever heard of a square cob of corn? And the thing is just too dang small—by the time I smash the whole ear of corn through, I’ve lost most of the kernels and my fist is slippery from the stick of butter I’ve been holding while I wrestle with the spreader and the corn. It’s messy and impractical. Does everyone else have smaller corns in their parts of the country to love this product so much? I’m afraid I just don’t get the attraction.

  These Pants Are Sick!!!

  By Brian Farrelly, September 23, 2012

  Ordinarily I wouldn’t take time outta my busy routine of pumpin’ iron, mirror flexin’ and oiling my muscles to write a review
for a friggin’ pair of pants, but dude, I just gotsta let everyone know how much I love Zubaz!! Of the 29 pairs of pants that I’ve ever owned in my life (I’ve kept track, bro), these are by far the most comfortable and are great for nearly every occasion. From lifting weights down on Venice Beach to dumpster diving behind the GNC, to just chillin’ on the couch watching Ultimate Fighting matches. They help me stay “juiced & loose” and feel “wild & dangerous.” Just like the company’s motto. Some other thoughts on these pants:

  Pros: They’re not only comfy as hell, they’re totally stylish too. When I’m wearing ’em I look like a centaur with the torso of Hercules and the body of a French Zebra or something. Another bonus is that if you accidentally spill Muscle Mayo protein shake all over your Zubs, you don’t ever need to worry about it ruining them. Any and all stains totally blend into the bitchin’ design.

  Cons: None. The only thing I’d really say is to make a suggestion. Zubaz, you totally need to expand your clothing line and go into formal wear. That’s right, dudes, formal wear. I’ve got two words that will change the face of both your company and the world forever: Zubaz Tux!! I got married a few years back and had to construct my own out of fabric from an old Zubaz sleeping bag, but if you came out with an official tux collection, I’d totally get remarried in one in a heartbeat. Anyway, I hope they’re reading this and heed my advice someday (hire me as a consultant, dudes!!), but until then all you need know is one thing. Hands down, this is the sickest—SICKEST—pair of pants that you’ll ever wear!!!

  Who doesn’t love these pants?

  By Will Beamon, June 26, 2013

  These pants are the most universal pants I’ve ever owned. Need some longer pants to sleep in? Boom. Need to get a good pump in at the gym and want to hide your legs when it’s chest day while getting a good leg sweat? Boom. Wanna go around town and be “that guy”? Boom. The material is also super soft and breathable; I wear these pants all the time. I need to get more!
