When I got back from my adventures yesterday I noticed roomie had brought it a big box that had my name on it. I was a bit perplexed as the only thing I was really expecting was the peppermint oil which I knew would not be sent in that big of a container. Anyway, I opened it, it was something I had been sent from a survey site that needs to be evaluated. It was a food product packed in dry ice..which is always entertaining. We used to love to play with it, when we were kids,,although cautiously, as it can be dangerous. Have you ever gotten a big box and wondered what was inside?

Snow here is very hit or miss..some years there is virtually none, and other years we end up with 2 feet that all falls at once in February. Feb. seems to be the big month for snow here..if we get it, alot of it tends to fall then for some reason.

I was thinking, is someone sending me a birthday present already?

I've signed up many times to test and evaluate products, but have never been sent anything.

I have been sent several things..the best was several flavors of popcorn. I have also gotten various cosmetics to try.

Yes, I didn't order this, but they always ask if you are willing to try a product, and sometimes send them..Sadly, I never got the Japanese whiskey I took a survey on once..lol. Now that would have been quite appreciated. It is usually something less thrilling.

I get surprised by things like that on occasion. Our shipments that are like that are also inside a styrofoam cooler.

Yes, there was a styrofoam cooler loaded with dry ice and the product.

Yes, it really was..of course with the site..there is always a possibility you will be sent something..but it usually only happens a few times a year.

dry ice reminds me of ice cream cakes.
how do they receive your evaluation - online?
are these for upcoming or existing products?

They will send a follow up survey. They will just ask my impressions.

Yes, I think sometimes they just send what is available.

Yes, I will use it..one time I got some kind of strange crumbles that were supposed to be tasty, but no one liked them.
