because they try to pass their goods as the real thing and it's easy to get fooled.
puka and kayyle, thank you! 
misty, i'm glad to hear that!
cedes, you should go out on a cherries mission! there's nothing like a new charm as a pick-up-me.
i'm still waiting for my gingerbread house and hot cocoa in the mail - yesterday was a terrible day with my imac being down and it would have been awesome if they arrived, but they still haven't! 
ush:
patti, wow! you guys had coloured magarine and ketchup? i would have loved those as a kid! over here, street vendors sell ice cream wrapped in coloured bread! i need to take a pic next time to show you guys!
kayyle, wow... that whale could come across as real in non close-up pics. it's scary how close fakes can get. jc fakers are getting pretty close to the details. i hope your refund comes in without a fight! it's good to have a real one to compare with, like in the case of my sister's pink ice cream! it was easier to see the differences.

Cedes & dragonette - Nope I just received this today! I talked to the seller directly though, although initially they tried to insist it is authentic they've finally agreed for a refund plus shipping. I'm shipping this off tomorrow asap, can't wait to say good riddance!
dolllover - LOL it does look quite sad all armless & pale next to the real guy. This was from seller bonnietonnie.

Wow, PrincessPatti you made me reach into the "corners of my mind" to recall the colored ketchup! I don't think it went over well. It seems that my mom asked us if we wanted to try it-we declined.
The green one sticks out in my mind too LV. I rather like my ketchup red. I can't even imagine colored margine!
kayyle, thank you so much for taking the time to show the comparison shots of the real and faux Whale charm. Wow! I certainly hope you get your money back. The faux versus real lesson is awesome. My, my, my....
Some folks have too much time on their hands. One would think that they'd at least build a competitor company and instead of faking charms that already exist they'd make charms that JC doesn't make thereby gaining their own customer base. But then I guess if they continued on the level that they are on their product would still be inferior... Remember the saying, "You get out of something what you put into it?" Thanks again kayyle. I so appreciate what you've shown us.

dragonette - I've pretty much been living in my pajamas watching sci-fi dvds for the last week.. I'm afraid if I go out into the sun I'll turn to dust. 
My dad's birthday is tomorrow though so we're going downtown for dinner.. which is where the Juicy store happens to be! I'm going to scope for the cherries and possibly the buddha. And the pretzel earrings. And.. and.. and..
Kayyle good thing you caught it so quickly. The fake whale almost looks greenish in some of the pictures. So sad that his arms popped off!
The carousel horse came in the mail today. I'm too tired to re-watermark the picture but I swear it's mine, lol, just in case anyone is confused.
Total fail! I don't 100% hate it but I think Juicy really really really dropped the ball on this one.
I haven't seen posts from Tup recently -- she didn't go off to have the baby, did she? Am I delusional? I totally ate the purple ketchup. Anyone remember Clear Pepsi? I missed you guys

cedes, i LOVE sci-fi! i hope your foray into town is a fruitful and happy one! can't wait to see your loot!
i agree that the carousel horse could have been cuter. i wouldn't have gotten it if carousels didn't mean something to me. when i was a kid, i LOVED horses even if i wasn't allowed any contact with them. so at fun fairs, i ALWAYS wanted to ride on the carousel even though i have motion sickness and vertigo! and i ALWAYS regret it after only one round! haha! mom tried to stop me every time because she knew what would happen (i would start bawling on the second round) but i would always want to ride it anyway. silly stubborn kid!

Wow, I had to take notes to make sure I didn't miss anyone, lol
GLL~ I know you must be enjoying that beautiful set. It's so nice having lovely furniture and with you wanting to write it's only fair you have a gorgeous desk and accessories.
Boy do I know what you mean about finally being to a happy charm place and them WHAM! 6 new ones I just have to have I swear this being on a ban is killing me. Much harder with charms than bags, that's for sure.
Dolllover~ That's exactly it. We are having to do tons of remodeling for baby and on top of all the renovations we have all the baby gear to get. I figured I could part with some of my charms and still survive (barely though). I think I've already sold around 30 or so and I have another 30 still to go and that will leave me with about 30-40 of my absolute faves. We just found out what we're having so I can finally start shopping though so maybe that will ease the pain of my ban.
Princess Patty, Queen Catherine and Puka~ Thak you so much for the congrats! We are over themoon and I must admit I'm just a smidgen bummed it was not a girl so I could pass my charms on. Oh well, Juicy makes boys stuff right
?
Dragonette~ I hope your MAC gets fixed soon. I know how hard it can be being without your computer and hopefully yours will be fixed in no time.
LV~ Yup, I had to break my ban for the cherries
I also pre, pre-ordered the peanut along with it from Cindy and I have the Balloon on the way and I just got the buddha yesterday. Back on the ban wagon now for me.
Dusty~ I'm so glad you had such a wonderful trip. Mexico is just gorgeous and I would love to go back again. DH and I went for our honeymoon for a few weeks and he was so sick the whole time that he could only leave the room the last 2 days. Funny enough he had food poisoning
but it was from the strawberries and champagne we had in the car on the way to the airport, not the food/drink in Mexico.
Wattk~ Congrats girlie on your pregnancy!! Somehow I missed that:shame: I am wanting a few of those Juicy suits also for the fall but man are they pricey! I could kick myself for missing them on Gilt the other day when they had the whole suit for 100.
Kayyle~ That sucks about your whale! There is nothing like being excited for a charm and then getting it only to discover it's a crappy fake
Hopefully the seller will follow through and give you the full refund. Make sure when you send it back it has signature confirmation so later if there is any issue they can't say they did not receive it back. It sucks but I learned that the hard way with a bag once.
Cedes~ I hope you have a great time out with your family! I swear, you take the best pics!! The details are amazing and I agree about the carousel horse. It could have been way cuter.
Hey, be careful of that purple ketchup too:girlwhack:! It's been know to cause halucinations, lol

kayyle: make sure, if possible, to get delivery/signature confirmation when mailing back the item.. =)
tatertot: congrats!!! baby boys are so much fun too, definitely more of a handful than girls (I have a girl and a boy) though.

hubby just got home from a long day at work... with 2 boxes!!!
I can't open and take pics right now. It's already late here and my cam is lowbatt.
I'm so excited to find out what charms I got.:wondering I got 2 boxes here.. still waiting for 4 more boxes!
Btw, what is the code to get a discount from Shirley&Co? I tried to find the post about it, but the thread is so massive! I'm having a hard time finding it. LOL TIA~

Cedes - Nope, no baby yet! I am here, just severly sleepy. I wanted to send you big hugs and let you know I've been thinking of you! I hope you hunt down those pretzel earrings, I still have mine on pre-order from Juicy! Oh, and we have 14 more weeks until my due date!
I haven't posted much, or responded to my PMs cuz I haven't really been around! Hubby didn't race this weekend, but the Outlaws were at I-96 instead, so we went to that show, and race weekends always exhaust me. It was the first time we took our daughter as well, so it was a little "busy" but fun. The highlight of my evening was when I got Joey Saldana to sign my sweatshirt! You guys probably have no idea what I'm talking about... LOL!
Kayyle - That is completely crappy about the whale. And I have always wondered about bonnietonnie, but like they say, sometimes if it's too goo to be true, it must be. I'm just sorry you had to be the one who ended up with a fake! Good luck and please get your mula back for that sad whale!!
Misty21 & dragonette - I wanted to say kudos for the way you guys handled your transaction and everything on here. I'm glad everything worked out for the both of you positively!
LV - I love those cherries! I must get them. I'm hoping Von Maur will have them! I left my Coach watch with a Jeweler to be repaired last week and I still haven't gotten a call in regards to it. So, I'm thinking about just showing up to remove it from their hands... maybe I'll get to actually peek at a Juicy display!
Tatertot - It's good to see you back! I was wondering where you went. I hope all is well with your pregnancy and congrats on a boy!
