Ha

It usually needs a splash of lime tbh.

Lol, very funny. Read some of these before and they're quite famous now. Its a wonder Amazon leave them on.

Having read some of the reviews I developed a raging
thirst for this peculiar pink Ambrosia. Shaking with excitement
I quickly placed an order for 12 bottles, as I don't drink much,
only to feel the icy hand of disappointment clutch my heart as I read...

''Usually dispatched within 2 to 3 days''.

Meh!

My favorites are:

Based on the strong recommendations of a number of reviewers on the Amazon site, I recently took a bottle of 2011 Barrettine to a dinner party to which I and my wife had been invited. Handing the bottle proudly to our hostess with the obligatory box of Neuhaus chocolates, I was disappointed to see her somewhat frosty reaction. Assuming this was a judgment on the small size of the bottle, I assured her that Barrettine's had not yet acceded to the popular demands for a full 75cl bottle and that the smaller volume of the bottle should be in no way be seen as detracting from its overall quality.

When I later heard the sound of her crying behind the kitchen door, I assumed that this was the result of some disappointment at the over-cooking of the salmon, but in a later email from my hosts I have since been informed that a bottle of Barrettine's is not universally appreciated at such occasions.

I mention this story simply to help other readers avoid such a social 'faux pas' themselves, and in future I will certainly test out my hosts' attitudes with some indirect questions about Barrettine's at the point of invitation.

and:

I recently hosted a dinner party and I was utterly speachless when one of my guests turned up with a bottle of this! The look on my face must have said it all, but as I tried to find the words to describe how inappropriate this was, my already drunk guest tried to comfort me by explaining that this was the largest bottle available.

The night just got worse from then on in as my guest proceded to drink the offending item from my best wine glasses, vomit in to the pot plants and urinate in his trousers! I had to console my weeping wife as her tears fell from her face on to a now ruined Salmon Celebration Roast.

I have emailed the offending guest to warn him that I will be billing him for the urine stains on the carpet, the smashed wine glasses and the now dead pot plants full of vomit! I do not recommend this product to be taken to dinner parties under any circumstances!!!

Seem to remember seeing this or similar a few years ago. Surprised that Amazon have allowed such silliness in the comments but some of them are so well crafted.

The internet is a strange place. I had herd of people drinking meths so I just googled it to see what the effects of drinking it would be. Whilst browsing the yahoo answer page deeley, in related questions someone was asking if it was ok to dip your helmet into meths and wanted sensible answers only.
