Yep. This is pretty close.
Reading the reviews is more helpful though. Usually on any product with ten or more reviews at least one of the bad reviews will be by someone who obviously misunderstood the purpose of the product or didn’t read the description.
A few weeks ago I bought a pot/pitcher sized tea ball. The description clearly stated the size as 3 1/2 inches in diameter. One reviewer complained that it was too large and wouldn’t fit in his tea cup. On a “warehouse light”, made to be installed directly to a building’s wiring, several people gave it bad reviews because the wire didn’t have a plug on the end of it to plug it into a wall outlet.
Product reviews – another source of endless entertainment on the Internet.

Go to Amazon and look up the “Bic for Her” pens. People have really had fun with that one and with the rather silly conceit that women need slimmer pens that come in pastel “cristal” colors.
(Though I have to admit, I’d buy ‘em, if it would keep my male colleagues and students from running off with my pens)

I am amusing myself to no small end, having misread the above comment’s last word as “penis”. Running off with the penis.
Still giggling.

I’ve read the Bic for Her pen reviews, they are pretty good. I used to write with pink glitter pens at work not only to annoy the woman in the office but to keep people from running off with my pen.
