The T.R.I.V.I.A.L. (This Review Is Very Irrelevant And Laughable)* Write Off

Jul 11, 2009 (Updated Aug 3, 2009)    Write an essay on this topic.


The Bottom Line Write a review because you can!

Every wonder why paper napkins are in the Epinions database? Do people ever read reviews of such products? Is it worth your time and effort to review an item you bought at the dollar store? Now is your chance to find out!

Born of a message board post, the TRIVIAL W/O embraces what I think Epinions is all about; members writing because we can, we do and we love to do it. And as a cranky unicorn, when someone tells me I can’t do something, more often than not I do it just because I can. And I most definitely can review a napkin if I want to!

The rules are simple. Write a review on something, anything that may be deemed trivial (in the traditional sense of the word). You are sole judge of the TRIVIAL nature of your review and its associated product. Feel free to check out shopping.com for other entry possibilities. If you like, link back to this W/O page to provide other members with some information about the write off. Leave me a link in the comment section of this review and I will post the reviews for others to visit, and perhaps leave a comment validating the TRIVIAL label of the reviews. This W/O is scheduled to end around August 14th, because I am going on vacation, but hopefully the spirit will live on.

On or about August 15th, voting will being for the most TRIVIAL review. The winner gets bragging rights for the whole year as Most TRIVIAL Reviewer. You will get one vote for each review you have submitted and you can't vote for your own.

* Thanks to …tom… for the name of this W/O and the voting suggestion, and to everyone who believes that every product is worthy of a review if someone wants to write it. I hope as you read these reviews you learn a little something; I know I have!
