Hey guys, I was looking at Michu Wonder Litter on PetBarn and I noticed something a little weird with the reviews. I’m thinking of getting it, but I’m starting to wonder if these reviews are legit.

Here’s what I noticed:

• Every review is like, "game-changer" and "absolutely amazing." Seems a little too perfect.
• Almost all the reviews use the exact same words — like seriously, everyone’s calling it a "game-changer." Weird coincidence?
• Some reviews have these weird hyphenations like "tray-seriously" and "fantastic-tight" — not sure if that’s normal. Usually I would add a space before and after the hyphen as they are separate words/sentences.
• All the reviews are from about a month ago. Bit of a red flag there, right?
• Everyone seems to be from Melbourne, which is where Michu is based, and they all use just first names (no handles or full names).

Here’s the link to the product on PetBarn:

What do you guys think? Do these reviews look real to you, or am I just overthinking it?

While I'm here, what does everyone else use in their litter-robots?

  Of course they are fake, but also that's how morons talk about everything these days on social media (Kmart mums, etc.).

  Get the final word from your cat, or just use atapulgite ( bentonite pellets).

  5 reviews, all within a day or so of each other, all of them glowing reviews telling others to ignore the price, and all from Vic.

  Of course they are fake!

  The plot (if there was one at all) deepens:

  On reviewing product review (https://www.productreview.com.au/listings/furrytail-michu-to…), you can see reviews from Yating Wu and Qinghua Siluo.

  Yating is a digital marketing specialist at Michu, per LinkedIn, and Qinghua is the CEO of Michu…
