Why this rubber chicken bag is scoring five-star reviews on Amazon
If it's OK for Balenciaga to sell a garbage bag for $2570 and Moschino to add a $1500 clutch shaped like a French bread stick to their ready-to-wear collection, then a $68 rubber chicken purse shouldn't shock. If anything, the affordable price might entice. Just maybe?!
While it's in no way a trend piece (look at it!) or the accessory earmarked to be the It-bag of season, it's certainly loved – judging by its five-star customer reviews on Amazon.
There's not all that much to it. Made from rubber and nylon, it has a zipper opening and it's a decent size to fit your belongings. But to describe it in that way may offend the bag's fans who have taken the time to sing the rubber chicken purse's praises in glowing five-star reviews.
"I absolutely LOVE this purse! Everyone comments and everyone laughs!", that's fair.
"My wife loves it! I have to give it a top rating as it is eggsactly as it is described. You will definitely turn heads when you make your hen-trance into any occasion/event," writes another happy/clever customer.
But they don't stop there.
"Oh my god it's so awful it's perfect. I love unorthodox stuff. This is it."
"Eggshellent item which totally met my eggspectations. The price was chicken feed compared to other similar rubber chicken bags. No need to cry fowl there. Eggstremely cheap. I was cock-a-hoop when it arrived."
"The chicken bag was on my adult son's wish list before I bought it for him for his birthday. He loves it, just as he imagined."
Perhaps the final say should go to Marilou...
"Cons: Smells bad, no compartment, gets easily dirty. Pros: it's a chicken purse, 5 stars."
