Everyone wishes they sounded like us.

Anyway, it was only a matter of time before somebody exploited the world’s jealousy and attempted to bottle Irish accents.
Presenting Instant Irish Accent Mouth Spray.
As you can see, the product claims to activate “invisible language receptors in the mouth” and give the user an Irish accent.
The product retails for $6.46 on Amazon.
Anyone with an ounce of common sense should be able to deduce that it isn’t entirely legit. Even if you are a little gullible, the product’s description does clearly state that it is a gag gift.
Please note that this is a novelty item and will not actually make you talk like an Irishman.
But if you thought that would eliminate the potential for any misunderstandings, you were dead wrong.
While most of the reviews on Amazon are positive, there is a cohort of very angry people who feel that they were DUPED by the breath spray and have penned some pretty indignant reviews.
In honour of St. Patrick’s Day, we present a selection of our favourites.
1. This person who deemed it to be “AWFULLL!!!!!”
2. At least this person was good-natured about it
3. “…not even worth ur cash…”
4. This person who accused an “Instant Irish Accent Breath Spray” of being “a lie”
No sh*t, Sherlock.
5. This person who saw the silver lining and gave it a generous three stars
6. This succinct evaluation.
7. IT’S A SCAM OH MY GOD
8. This clear-eyed assessment that at least acknowledges the product’s minty properties
9. This review, which earnestly recommends seeking the services of a vocal coach
On the plus side, it is “cool”.
10. Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me…
11. This guy, though? He ain’t even mad.
