Did not do what I had hoped

I ordered this item (paid extra shipping so I could get it here fast), and when it arrived the lid was partially unscrewed and there was cabbage powder all over. The item worked fine for the ph testing, but did not work at all for the "bad breath" experiment, or any of the dry ice experiments. We tried regular water, bottled water, and distilled water, and every time it was a blue violet, rather than a pink/purple. This has been my experience with many Steve Spangler products. I usually like about half of what I order. After paying 20.00 for shipping, I think this will be my last order.

H. Gardner -
That is definitely unacceptable! We are as disappointed as you with the dissatisfaction you have experienced using our products, and the fact that your cabbage powder arrived spilt should never happen. One of our customer service representatives will be contacting you soon to help you out with this and the other situations you have referenced. We are extremely sorry about your disappointment and aim to correct these problems.

Better than boiling

I love Jiffy Juice. When my students study acids/bases, I go through quite a bit. My family is thrilled that I am not boiling red cabbage every other night. The smell is much milder than cabbage also.

Way funner than expected

I expected to learn a little pH chemistry and perhaps do some experiments - I never expected this kit to be so addictive and fun! It really got me thinking about what pH means and before you know it I was emptying my cabinets and putting little drops of this and that in all my glasses to see what color they would turn. I haven't taken chemistry in a long time and this totally brought pH back to life for me!
