Bad review avoided!

Here are the comments of someone who received a sample ball from us. They were planning to do an editorial review of the product for their magazine. Frankly, I'm delighted that they passed on the idea.

I've looked at the Play & Freeze and do not plan to review it for a couple of reasons. First, as my coworkers saw it sitting in the office, every single one of them had the impulse to kick the ball. If that's how a bunch of occasionally responsible adults react, I'm sure children will have the same - and worse - thoughts.

Also, the price point seems high to me. I've seen "do it yourself" versions where people put a small frozen juice concentrate-size can inside a coffee can and have effectively the same product.

Finally, and this is a personal bias, the quantity of ice cream produced is barely enough to offer a taste to all the people who are involved in the 20 or so minutes of rolling or shaking. Two children can hardly be expected to keep it going long enough to produce results.

In this case, no review is far better than the bad review that was probably going to emerge.
