    Looking at Chris' comments, I'm glad I didn't order the mints!!

    As an update, I had the worst nights sleep I've had in a long time last night (about 4 hours) and had hot and cold flushes all evening/night.

    Might just be a coincidence but the fact that the mint made me feel quite jittery and on edge makes me think its that what caused it.

    I certainly wouldnt recommend them to anyone and have thrown the remaining 11 mints in the bin.

    I should point out that I do drink energy drinks every now and then and have had some strong ones before but nothing affected me like that mint.

    The fact that on their website they are trying to get students to sign up to sell them at colleges and uni and they call themselves "dealers"doesnt impress me either..

    If any of you have ordered the mints I'd be very careful with them..

    Really really really glad I didn't order the mints!!

    I am a tea drinker, and on the very rare occasion I drink a cup of coffee (once very couple of months)I feel high and bounce off the walls for hours! LOL

    Yes Plushchris, hope you get some sleep tonight.

    I ordered the juice, a lotion candle, the crisps, the eyelashes and the mints (I couldn't resist. Reading other people's reviews I can't help but think that they are just what I need to get OH out of bed in the morning :D )

    I had a quick look at the product websites and found that I'll be getting products worth over £23, so I'm pretty pleased if it's all really for free.

    If you want him to have the shakes all day and toss and turn all night next to you alternating between shivering and sweating then yeah, they will get him out of bed.

    Not to mention having him in a bad mood with you because they left a nasty taste in his mouth for about half an hour.

    :rotfl:

    (thats almost exactly what happened with me)

    Hi,

    Does anyone else on here keep getting spam messages from Freebie_Hunter? They're apparently trying to start a company like Buzzsoc and want feedback. It looks like the kind of message they've sent a lot of people on here-or is it just me?

    Yep, me too - got 2 PMs today.


    My BuzzSoc box arrived today! Tried the chilli and salt & vinegar crisps so far (not both to myself, my boyfriend & I shared them haha). Quite nice texture-wise, and I love the packaging, but not that much flavour. The lotion candle looks cool and smells lovely (I got the Georgia Peach scent) so I'll use that later. I also got the sour cherry juice, tea & eyeshadow so I'll be trying those out over the next few days :) Impressed with delivery, packaging, etc though.
    Kate.
  • Came across this post over twitter. Sounds like it's decent offer! just placed my first order, dodged the mints after what Plushchris said.
