This was edited from a previous post.
i wanted to separate it because i felt bad associating someones casual mistake with some others hard work. i am not mad, upset or anything, but certain practices make the process of reviewing much more difficult, so i thought i should address one of these 'kind-of' things.
There was a product i had already mentioned i was going to write it up before i saw the sample (my bad..) and it was sent in plastic, so what could i do?
i gave it my best and i learned a few thing: 1. Don't commit without all the information / tools whatever. . 2. Let everyone know what you need:
If you put alcohol in a plastic container it will taste of plastic. If it is not full the effect is extremely exaggerated.
If you don't want to send me a whole bottle... fine don't.
If you can't send me a whole bottle --100 ml in a full glass container is OK by me. i just need enough to taste, but it must be fresh, untainted by container and full so whatever effects that oxidation may have, haven't been had.
My pal Camper English compiled a nice list of Do's and Dont's. i would just add No plastic and full glass.
We got the 4 oz sample in the plastic vial. As a first impression, it doesn't say "we are a luxury product" or "we value you as a reviewer". Especially since I work in labs and know what other stuff gets shipped in those specific bottles (I don't associate it with foodstuff).
ReplyDeleteIt's given us a little hesitation in opening it.
