Ridley's Sarcastic Sassy 9 Fortune Teller Psychic Mystic Novelty Answer Ball

Got this for my daughter who was recently promoted to supervise a department where she works. She is now besieged by stupid questions many times per day. I thought this would cheer her up, and it was a big hit.You have to wait for the little floaty message thingy to reach the top and jiggle so it is flat up against the flat plastic window to read clearly, but once it is positioned properly, you can read it well. I had a lot of fun with it before I mailed it up for her, and she and the grandkids had fun with it before she took it to work.This was in the outter limit of what I will pay for a gag gift. I usually try to make my own, but this was just perfect for the occasion and I couldn't resist.

This is adorable and exactly what you’d expect it to be. The plastic of the 9-ball is a little lighter than the black plastic 8-balls, but otherwise, it’s essentially the same product with some attitude.Reviews that state that it doesn’t work....are maybe being sarcastic? This product doesn’t take batteries, the “battery low” message is just one of the sarcastic replies. Hope other reviewers’ attempts at a joke (or actual cluelessness) don’t deter people from buying this.

I am an executive and the Sarcastic 9 Ball is a fun way to release tension when making tough decisions. No, it is not the compas for or decision making progress.

Very sassy; a great nick-knack for your desk and conversation starter (and life coach).I gave it to a junior colleague. Her first question?Her: “Will I be successful in the next 10 years”9-ball: “Not in a million years.”Freaking classic.

Purchased this for a friend to give her real options her magic 8 ball does. It's great! I love unique gifts and this fit the bill perfectly!

This is a version of the classic 8-Ball toy, but with totally cynical or silly responses such as "Low Battery." One reviewer, who already knew this was a prank, too it seriously. Dude! Seek psychiatric help.But back to reviewing this. First, don't use it in low-light situations. A decent amount of light needs to collide with the parts. Second, whatever you do, approach this thing with a sense of humor.Quality: Since this is a lower-production, novelty item, it's a higher cost item. That said, I docked points in the review for being not as high quality as the lower-priced 8-ball. The response floatie doesn't adequately float in the liquid in order to contact the surface. I found myself shaking the ball a bit to make better contact to read the response. I don't like the spare white circles on the surface. It totally ruins the actual 9-ball look. Some idiot manager with power beyond his abilities probably insisted on more fluff added made it a better product. (SRSLY, if you want to go that direction, why not add daisies?) The original 8-ball managed to do just fine as a hit product by being black with an 8.Summary: the whole thing is clever and the responses modern and funny (the hashtag, for example). It makes a good gag gift. If, by chance, the product is improved and I get another as a gift, I might upgrade this review.

I gave this Sassy 9 Answer Ball to my husband for Valentine's Day but you cannot read the answers; it is defective. I did not notice that the return timeframe ended two weeks before Valentine's Day. I think I should be able to return it for an even exchange to see if the next one will work.

Bought this for my office, keep it on the table between two comfy chairs. Both clients and co workers use it all the time. Have to warn them it's not the Happy 8 ball LOL

Really good; bought an 8 ball for childhood nostalgia, and a nine ball for the grown up in him

My daughter loves this

I bought this a while ago and kept it to give at Christmas: I wish I’d checked it when I purchased it because it’s rubbish. You can’t even read the sarcasm clearly. I put my trust in the brand name and renter that now

They liked it

i've never seen something so badly made, i was curious on how it worked without battery, so what you do is shake the ball which contains some black liquid in the centre and the answers are on a bit of plastic within the liquid(floating around)and if your lucky one of those bits of plastic might surface to the viewing screen to read it but not clearly, and doesn't work every time, i'm amazed they are still selling these
