Reviewing Some Common Items


by domdee17

--------

As you all know, Neopia is littered with common items, some are beloved everywhere, while as others are despised. So, here is a compilation of some of the most common items in Neopia.

     1. Coffee and Marshmallows- Coffee and Marshmallows, a classic, it was the thing that kept my JubJub fed during tough times, the lovely drink is found in The Ever Stocked General Store, also known as the common item haven. The drink is coffee mixed in with Kau Kau Farm Milk, topped with plain marshmallows, it is piping hot, so it's recommended to wear mittens, that said, the drink is even more enjoyable during The Month of Celebrating, The Month of Sleeping, and The Month of Awakening. 7.5/10

     2. Rotten Shoes/Sandals/Boots- These items are very common, they are normally found in the Money Tree, and could possibly be the most despised item on the sight, it is ugly, takes up space in the Money Tree, and most of all, unfashionable. -1/10

     3. Free Jelly/Omelette- In Tyrannia and Jelly World, you can find the g=Giant Jelly/Omelette, you can take a serving every day, and, if you are lucky, in the Giant Jelly, you may get Trifle, and if you are very unlucky, you will have the misfortune of getting an inedible omelette/jelly. 6/10

     4. Mystery Of The Kougra Paw- One of my Neopets favourite books, a gripping mystery novel about how a precious gem is stolen with only 1 clue, it is truly a classic book. During those long, rainy days, I like reading this classic to my JubJub and his Mallard. It is truly timeless and affordable too. 10/10

     5.Ocean Crossing Flotsam Board Game- Even though with it's cheap price, there is no way you're going to get "Board" of this! *bu dem, crash* The board game is pretty simple, you roll the dice, move spaces, and get to the finish, the twist is, if you land on the rainbow space, you dump cold water on your opponents! You can play this game anywhere! Even the actual beach! There are also other event spaces! The possibilities are endless!!! 8/10

     6. Tchea Fruit- This fruit has hints of banana and blueberry, the berry is useful in making aged tchea juice, which can warrant a hefty price. So look out! Although my Neopet isn't a very big fan of the fruit, I personally LOVE the taste of the Tchea fruit. So does my Neopet's petpet, Ducky, it's actually one of his favourites. 8/10

     7.Red Long Hair Brush- A grooming staple, this is the go-to groomer. My Neopet, having a lot of hair, loves a good grooming. When I first started Neopets, it was my favourite grooming item. This brush is very affordable, only 20NP more than it's shorter blue counterpart, and, in my opinion, much better quality. 8/10

     8. Rubber Ducks- Rubber Ducks are possibly the most iconic bath-time toy, and in Neopia, it's no exception! It's so popular, it's even in the general store! The Rubber Ducks are made of the finest plastic, and strongest, too. But, they also tend to disappear easily, so definitely docking some points there. Plus they also only come in Yellow, soooo..... 5.5/10

     9. Banana Creme Pie- The Banana Creme Pie's use is debatable. It could be used as a dessert, but other pies out-shine it. It could be used as a splatter, and it's actually pretty good at that, it's even used in the carnival of terror. But, nonetheless, it is still my Neopets favourite, and to him, a classic. The banana filling has the richness of somebody who owns a nerkmid, and the sweetness of a Kacheek. These combinations make the Banana Creme Pie a good dessert, just not a great one. 6/10

     10. Kassegat Jig Saw Puzzle- Okay, I'm going to be blunt. This. Puzzle. Is. Not. Good. It is just a boring, 5-pieced, bland puzzle. The only pro is that the most idiotic Neopets can play this (no offence). This is the easiest brain teaser, so if you want to stimulate your Neopet's mind, give them an actual puzzle. Period. 1/10

     11. Shenkuu Firecracker- It's always super exciting to see firecrackers light up the sky with bright colours! The Shenkuu version is also pretty exciting, but just with more mellow colours. This makes the fireworks more soothing, calming, and also, soothes the inner Snowager in you. 7/10

     12. Chocolate Faerie Cake- Now this, THIS is a delicious cake, the sweetness of the chocolate frosting, the fluffy cake, The feeling of happiness when you bite that delicious cake. It's perfect, it tastes amazing, and what's even better? It's cheap! Delicious food at a cheap price, Yeah! 10/10

     13. Tyrannian Usuki- the cheapest usuki is unsurprisingly the worst, but, that does not mean it is still fun to play with! Plus you can still make fun scenarios with the usuki. So don't let the worst usuki there is ribbon drive you away, it's still a fun toy! 7/10

     14. Space Spice- this lovely spice gives an out of world taste! When I first tried it, I felt as if I was on the moon! It was amazing! I couldn't believe it! Space Spice tastes really good with other space foods, like cloned corn. The spice is also colourful, with blue grains and specks of purple and white. 9/10

     15. Broken Heart Keyring- The Broken Heart Keyring is the perfect gift for a loved one, friend, or your Neopet! Really good to immortalise your friendship! 8/10

     ------

     Closing Remarks: This was a very fun time writing this! I really hope other Neopians can benefit from my research! Thank you all for taking the time to read this article! I was inspired by the Neopian Nibbles and always wanted to review stuff! Anyway, I would like to say a few things, 1. This was very fun writing! 2. I hope I can write more articles in the future! 3. Good luck everyone on the battle of the obelisk! 4. I wrote this as a substitute for reviewing the most expensive items.

     Sincerely, domdee17.
