Title: Yes, it's crap.
Product review: If you buy this this thing, be prepared to cut off about an inch off the tip, 'cause apparently the tip is just there for aesthetics. Plunging this thermometer into boiling water, it won't read accurately (15-20deg under) until at least an inch of the tip is immersed.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
