First impressions are everything to me. After testing hundreds of products over my years as a commerce reporter, I can tell if a running shoe is supportive enough within the first mile; I can decide if a fancy olive oil is worth splurging on after the first taste; and I can determine if a toy is actually going to occupy my pets just by looking at it. Do some things deserve a second chance? Absolutely. But if I’m impressed right off the bat, I won’t stop talking about it. And once I’m obsessed, I’m a ride or die fan for life. - Zoe Malin, reporter
