    But still we keep doing them because they pay out instantly. Its not like Toluna where you spend three years of your life picking the group of women who look most likely to feel excited wearing Tena Lady and then they ask you if you'd be willing to product test them. I never get any exciting products to test, although OH did get rather excited when I got a KY jelly sample a while back, I'd like an Ipod or a Wii but instead I get Tampax and dishwasher cleaners.

    I got a broom to test once, and OH got some toilet roll.........

    I did market research years ago & one of the funniest I ever did was giving people toilet paper to test then phone them up & ask how absorbent it was, how it felt against the skin etc :rotfl:. Had to send ex-hubby out of room while I did it.

    Best one was when I had to get men to try on jeans then examine them for fit :eek:

    I haven't done any surveys for ages - like someone else just said they wait a good 10-15 minutes before they screen youout these days - I'm sure they have the info they want before pressing the button their end - they just don't want to give points!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hope you are ok Hypno.You are unusually really quiet.
    I agree with the surveys being really annoying ..why take 10 mins to screen out?

    Happy Australia Day everyone! We had big plans to do the early morning run/walk but DS has tonsillitis so we can't. Been invited round to friends for BBQ too but won't be able to do that either so a quiet day at home for the Llamas :-(.

    Post count unusually low - is all well in the world of Hypno?
