Do you try products that people recommend? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Janice · 09-27-2006, 09:56 PM

I do. If someone strongly recommends a movie, I'll rent it. If I know it's something I'll hate (like subtitles, insane violence, etc.), I won't.

If someone raves about a product, especially food, I'll pick it up at the store.

Some people, it goes in one ear and out the other. If I know that a person never takes me up on a movie recommendation, I stop recommending them.

I guess it all depends on who is doing the recommending and what exactly it is they are recommending. Like if someone recommends that I see a certain move and I know that this person has good taste (not to mention similar taste as my own) then I would watch the movie that he or she recommends.

A guy on a message board I post at recommended Led Zeppelin to me, so I listened to some of their songs. I'd always heard they were a great, talented group anyway. I really liked Stairway to Heaven.

In exchange, he listened to some Bee Gees songs, so I think he no longer has the opinion that they're "just" a disco group.

I really don't. I have disliked most movies people told me I had to see. I'm into organic and chemical free products, so I don't buy alot of products someone recommended to me. I'm so picky!

Janice · 09-28-2006, 04:03 PM

I'm always open to suggestions when it comes to cleaning products, etc. Recently, a friend recommended a frozen casserole type dish by Stouffers. White meat chicken with fettucine noodles and vegetables. Put it in the oven for an hour. It was delicious.

i always take peoples recommendations into consideration

Courtnee · 09-28-2006, 04:18 PM

It depends on who's giving it and what it is. However, most of the time, yes, I do.

I think that both you and him were introduced to some great music.

nope

KristinHerreraFan · 09-28-2006, 07:29 PM

It varies on the product or the person recomending it. Most of the times I do, eventually.

Yooch · 09-28-2006, 07:54 PM

I often do, and am seldom disappointed. If I don't like the product, well at least I tried it.

swedeace · 09-29-2006, 01:13 PM

Only if it's a product that I can use or have some kind of effect to my life. If it's a product I don't really need, then no.

Number 9 Dream · 09-29-2006, 07:14 PM

If it's someone whose taste I like, and who has similar interests as me, I usually do try out the product. However (as Mona mentioned), it's usually if it's something I really need or really want to try.

Definitely.

I'd always heard that Led Zeppelin were a great band; I'd just never got the chance to hear any of their music before. But I'm glad I did.

I've loved Led Zeppelin since 8th grade. Wayyyyyyy back in 1989-1990.
