Meet Ned Baxter

Ned Baxter (imaginary guide)NB

Ned Baxter is an imaginary middle manager who lives in a cubicle that does not exist, next to a plant that is also imaginary. He has a lanyard, a mug that says World's Okayest Boss, and a calendar that is mostly meetings about meetings.

He reads store listings and sends memos about the price, the size, and who the item is listed for. None of it is a review. Ned Baxter has never worn, used or tested anything, because he is imaginary and has no hands, only a keyboard that is also imaginary. If a listing is wrong, per his last email, take it up with the store.

His one action item never changes: buy two. One for the project and one for the backup project, plus a spare for the spare.

The fine print, said out loud

Ned Baxter is a fictional character and an imaginary guide, not a real reviewer. Nothing said here is a review, a rating, or a result. The notes come from the store listings and are not health or medical advice.

We earn a commission if you buy through our links. Ned Baxter gets nothing, since this guide is imaginary. The price you pay does not change.
