Read the reviews for it...pxc lol


I have it set to shine at 75% for 25 minutes, and over the last two weeks I've noticed:

- Improved mood
- More energy
- Increased libido
- Better sleeping patterns
- More dreams
Lol you don't need increased libido pxc. :giggle:

I got that email too but am not p*ying for it as you also have to write minimum 2 reviews.

OK, being technical, this is not Marketing, but selling. I'll spare the details of the distinction...

It is not even a particularly good sales approach, but that is another matter.

I wonder how many people will take up the test? I once had to test a scanner and at the end of the test, I kept it for free (the scanner costs about £300) - that is more my kind of testing!
Is that the philllips blu light thingy? If so, I got that too. I got all excited until I saw there is a payment! Funnily, enough I'm always invited to all the ones that require payments...very rarely to the ones that don't! :roll:

If it's going for £60 online, probably wont do it. Then it's really not worth it.
Yeah, it was! I got quite excited too until I saw that I had to p*y. I am definitely not p*ying! Agree with all other points too, definitely not market research/testing or whatever they want to dress it up as, if I have to p*y. The best marketing research I have done is focus groups, p*y you £70 in the hand to attend a 2 hour discussion, give you loads to drink and fooooood! They the best!

Again, being technical. Professional market researchers would not ask anyone to p*y.

I guess it's a way of selling their items at a reduced rate. I got a reminder to ask whether I wanted to join but ignored it.

Lol you don't need increased libido pxc. :giggle:

Lol you know I'm joking with you. :bighug:

I would have said let's get it as a present for Syd_Brist but then her libido will be out of control and make her bf's life extremely difficult. Lol.
