  • Croatian internet users are sharing humorous and absurd online reviews.
  • These reviews, found on platforms like Google and Facebook, have become a source of entertainment.
  • Examples include a menstrual cycle app calendar lacking holidays and a positive review of a police station's booking process.

A lively discussion on the Reddit group r/askCroatians has revealed a shared appreciation among Croatian users for the absurd and humorous online reviews they encounter. What started as a simple question about funny bad reviews has snowballed into a collection of witty observations from platforms like Google, Facebook, and Goodreads. Users are sharing examples that have left them in stitches, highlighting the internet's capacity for unexpected comedy. Among the most popular anecdotes are reviews for sugar-free gummy candies, with one user quoting, "THE RED ONE CAME OUT WHOLE!!" Another user humorously described a menstrual cycle tracking app's calendar as lacking any holidays or connection to reality, lamenting, "What kind of calendar is this without saints?" Even official institutions are not immune to these quirky critiques; one Google review for the Split-Dalmatia Police Department sarcastically praised the gentle handling of handcuffs, the clean car, and the pleasant ride, concluding with a 5/5 rating and a desire to be arrested again. The trend extends to hospitality, with users noting heated exchanges between restaurant owners and guests in Dalmatia, and even a bizarre complaint about a "bison show" not occurring at Bizovaฤke Toplice. The shared laughter over these unconventional reviews underscores a collective enjoyment of internet absurdity.
