Promising review: "I LOVE this snail. I mean, I knew he was gonna be cute, I was excited to get him in the mail, but the amount of joy he brings my household is ridiculous. This is one of my favorite things about my kitchen, and I have a damn cute kitchen. He isn't incredibly sturdy, but he doesn't need to be, and for the price, I have no qualms. He doesn't hold much soap at a time, but again, he makes us so happy that we literally couldn't care less. I named him Frank, and I smile every time I wash dishes. We even catch ourselves thanking him and saying hi to him now and then. 10/10. Just buy the snail." —Amazon Customer
