I've only ever left one bad review on Amazon. Chopsticks, they came bound together with some sticky tape. Sticky tape left a very sticky area just where your hands go that I was unable to get off despite a lot of effort scrubbing, washing, and so on. I left a polite constructive review saying they were good chopsticks but watch out for this stickiness issue. My review was declined by Amazon on the grounds it didn't meet their "community guidelines" (without elaborating further on which rule I'd supposedly broken).
- spiderfarmer 1y agoThey must have thought it was a bad dad joke.
- onli 1y agoAmazon is known for suppressing negative reviews, there are many reports about it. Not sure why the grandparent comment is claiming the contrary - not doing the automatic redirect maybe, but they do remove or just not accept negative reviews.
- nottorp 1y agoYou don't have a glue removal spray? :) I bought one to get sticker residue off my windshield, but it's proven useful many times since. Mind, considering how well it removes glue, I wouldn't stick anything that was touched by it in my mouth... but may be okay for the hand end of your chopsticks.
- randunel 1y agoCan you recommend your glue removal spray which is food safe? Because the entirety of cutlery needs to remain food safe, not just the pointy end.
- throwaway2037 1y agoMy mother swears by "Goo Gone": https://googone.com/ https://googone.com/ Of course, after you use it, I would recommend to wash the cutlery.

- dns_snek 1y agoJust wash the cutlery afterwards? Dish soap isn't food safe either for that matter.
- aziaziazi 1y agoI recommend isopropyl alcohol. It’s cheap, versatile and works like a charm for most of your cleaning jobs. Way safer and cheaper than sprays and "super-do-that-thing-4000". No offense to the sprayers.
- nottorp 1y agoNot for Austrian road tax stickers. That's specifically what made me get the spray.
- kupfer 1y agoOrange oil works wonders. It's explicitly not food safe, but you get that stuff on your hand every time you peel an orange and it's also present in juice. Just rinse them afterwards and wear gloves.
- masfuerte 1y agoPaste made from sodium bicarbonate and vegetable oil is good at getting sticky label residue off glass jars.
- gblargg 1y agoThe community guidelines rejection is such BS. I've done thousands of Amazon reviews and get about 1% rejection rate, and it's always baffling as to the cause. You develop superstition over time over what is the cause. I avoid certain words (sexual, violence, mention of other brands), blur our barcodes, etc. "Sticky" would trigger my "uh oh, sounds sexual" alarm and I'd word it something like "tape around chopsticks left adhesive residue". Like I said, superstition.
- IshKebab 1y agoOk, well I've left nine 1-star and many other 2 or more star reviews and none of them have been removed for any reason, so I would say you got unlucky and that I stand by my comment that Amazon don't do anything like automatically redirecting all 1-star reviews to customer service.
