Product review: This cold I have right now
Will be returning to seller.
★★☆☆☆ - Bad dumb cold
Let me just start by saying I don’t like colds, so I might be biased. I don’t ask for them, and I didn’t want this one. I got it as a Christmas gift last week.
Right off the bat I was a little irritated because I just got my flu shot a few days before, which I WAS TOLD would help me avoid colds. Apparently this is one of the colds that’s not compatible with a flu shot. Would LOVE to see that mentioned somewhere in the product description. VERY misleading.
This cold started with a sore throat, a headache, and some fatigue. Then I got a stuffy nose (HUGE flaw) and now there’s too much mucous. As per instructions, I’m blowing the mucous into tissues and taking pills that stop mucous, but there’s still too much. I took a shower (would recommend) and that cleared me up for a bit, but the mucous still came back. The mucous is a big dealbreaker for me.
(Please note: I asked the seller for a return and a refund, but I haven’t heard back yet. Customer support is NONEXISTENT.)
I’m giving this cold TWO stars to adjust for my bias and because I’ve gotten worse ones. There’s no cough so far, which is a nice feature. I’m willing to add or subtract a star if things change in either direction. Like if this is actually the bird flu, then I’m giving it one star. But if I recover really fast and I can get back to putting more effort into growing my indoor rainbow chard and writing emails for my email club, then I’ll revise upward.
I’ll add to this review if there are any updates. Would NOT recommend this cold, especially if you don’t like colds. My advice: don’t do anything around other people for the next four months.

Dream journal entry of the week
I walk by a strip of restaurants. One restaurant is a greasy spoon diner called The Million Dollar Restaurant. Customers there like to say their meals taste like a million dollars. I’ve seen this restaurant in a dream before.

I concur. This cold sucks.
