WATKINS TESTIMONIALS

Testimonials about Food & Cooking Products


Spices & Seasonings

1. Watkins spices really are the very best in the world! I am a total garlic-lover and Watkins Garlic Granules are the best way to add garlic flavor to any food. Because it's granulated, it must have more flavor. For Christmas this past year I gave my brother (who had never ordered from me before) some spices that I thought he would enjoy using, since he enjoys cooking. Last month, he called and ordered two bottles of the Garlic Granules, he said it was the best Garlic "Powder" he had ever tried!!!

-- Jan

2. I have been associated with Watkins and using the products for the last 33 years... I am a Chef and have retired after 40 years in the business... I am an avid user of all of the Watkins food line. Plus I got the restaurant that I worked in to use all of them, too. I believe that they improved the quality of the food and caused the customer count to increase each month.

-- Richard

3. I love the pepper. I have always used pepper to pep up my food, but before Watkins, I really couldn't TASTE it. We have great pepper!!!

-- Susan

4. When it comes to Watkins Black Pepper, I will tell you that we LOVE it. That one 6 ounce can will probably last us six months or more due to the fact that it is so much better than any that we could buy in a store and we only have to use half as much.

-- Cindy

5. We are stuck on Watkins Whole Peppercorns (all flavors). After using the store brand for so many years, we couldn't believe the difference in flavor.

-- Teresa

6. We love the Black Pepper. It is the greatest. I tell people all the time if they don't have Watkins Black Pepper in their kitchen, they have imitation! Watkins Black Pepper does so much for the taste of any food we put it in.

-- Mattie

7. You want the best tasting hamburgers around? Mix some Watkins Ground Beef Seasoning, Meat Magic, and one egg into lean ground beef, and you'll be amazed!

-- Jerry

8. I like the Cajun Pepper blend because you can add a lot of heat to a dish without going overboard on the salt, which is a problem with most hot spices.

-- Eldon

9. The black pepper is my favorite Watkins food product. I put it on almost everything except dessert!

-- Carolyn

10. We like the various Pepper Blends. Since we have several in the family who are diabetic, we don't use salt. The various peppers give us a variety of tastes.

-- Ben

11. I love every one of the products I've tried. I guess the one that has improved my cooking the most is the Onion & Garlic Pepper.

-- Isabelle

12. My wife and I share the cooking in our home. Watkins Chili Seasoning, Fajita Seasoning, Grill seasoning, Meatloaf Seasoning, Pizza Seasoning and several others, have made it easier for a non-cook such as myself to come up with enjoyable, flavorful, healthy dishes for our family.

-- Sam

Extracts and Flavors

13. I bake quite often for my church family, so I would have to say the Watkins Double Strength Vanilla, Watkins Baking Cocoa, and the Watkins Baking Powder, are essentials to creating good cookies, etc.

-- Anne

14. I love all of the extracts. Watkins offers flavors that can't be found anywhere else. You can even use these to make candies. I use them in frostings, cake mix, even to make my own hand dishwashing detergent.

-- Lorraine

15. My favorite Watkins product is the Vanilla Extract. It was used by my mother when I was a child... I love cooking with it. It has such a rich flavor.

-- Paula

Grapeseed Oils

16. My favorite food product is the Citrus & Cilantro Grapeseed Oil. It makes the best salad dressing!

-- Judy

17. I like the Citrus and Cilantro Grapeseed Oil---great for salad dressing!

-- Zoe

18. My favorite Watkins product is the Garlic and Parsley grapeseed oil. I use it quite often. The aroma that comes from the kitchen when cooking with it is wonderful. I have introduced this product to several of my friends who have become customers.

-- Patricia

19. I consider the grapeseed oils to be more of a health food product than just a food product and the flavored ones are my favorites. We use them instead of butter or margarine in rice dishes.

-- Jack

Soup Bases

20. I don't make much soup, so this may sound strange, but my favorite Watkins cooking products are the soup bases. I use them for so many things, sprinkling on chicken when I bake it, simmering it with rice, tossing it in with roasted potatoes. The uses are endless, and the results make the simplest dish seem like you really know what you're doing.

-- Jamie

21. I love the Chicken Soup mix! It got my kids to eat veggies after my mother-in-law used it in the cooking water.

-- Cheryl

22. One of my favorite products is the beef soup base. Before trying this product my children would not eat roast and after several days we would have to throw away left overs. Now we're lucky to get one meal out of a roast with my kids.

-- Ruth

23. My single most favorite product is the onion soup. I like being able to fix a cup of good soup instantly. My favorite soup is a pack of ramen noodles (throw away their seasonings), some pepperoni (turkey is best, less fat) and two teaspoons of the onion soup. It's delicious and ready in a couple of minutes.

-- Jim

Sauces

24. My favorite cooking products are the sauces because they dress up an otherwise average meal with little hassle.

-- Bruce

25. I really like the Mesquite flavoring for BBQ sauce. Living in Texas, we like to grill, and it only takes a minute to mix it with Ketchup and slap it on your sizzling steak.

-- Joe & Linda

Other Food Products

26. Watkins Tapioca Dessert Mix. The best dessert on earth.

-- Tom

27. Nancy and I reach for the Watkins Cooking Spray constantly. It's just as advertised, the best available and practically an endless supply, even when it is used as much as we use ours. It seems like it never runs out. Because we are so impressed with it, it's easy to recommend it to others. The appearance is great too. The nostalgic label is an attention getter and often our guests ask about it. That usually turns into an order so the Watkins Cooking Spray not only helps us in the kitchen, it's a great sales tool as well. Who could ask for more from a product?

-- Mike & Nancy





Testimonials about Dietary Supplements

Balanced Ginseng

28. My husband and I both take Balanced Ginseng and Superfood Multiple each day and swear by it. Since we have been taking these two, we have not had the nasty cold we get once each winter. And, we find we have a lot more ambition than we used to have.

-- Diana

E+CoQ10

29. E+CoQ10 is a product I take everyday. The research indicates it can really benefit the heart.

-- Jerry

Linimax

30. I have learned the painful way to make sure I never run out of Linimax. To be without even for a couple days makes my joints feel a whole lot older.

-- Isabelle

31. Linimax is my favorite health product because I have had good results with a bad knee--I am pain free most of the time.

-- Carolyn

32. I like the Linimax, as it made my joints stop hurting, and I don't have to take the Aleve.

-- Joe & Linda

33. I am so thankful for Linimax! I can't believe how it has improved the quality of my life! I have suffered from neck and back pain for the last 20 years. I've been to Chiropractors and Osteopathic Surgeons, mostly Chiropractors. I have taken tons of ibuprofen and even muscle relaxers and even though there were some okay days where the pain was less intense, there was always pain. The benefits of Linimax were virtually instantaneous for me. Within a couple of days my neck stopped hurting all the time and it was really giving me fits when I started taking the Linimax! Now, after taking Linimax for several years, I have virtually no pain, I can stand for long hours, walk, sleep, sit for long periods! For a while there I was feeling pretty old and wondering what the rest of my life could possibly be like - but now I feel great!!!

-- Jan

34. Linimax is my all time favorite. I have arthritis in my spine and knee, plus I have system lupus. Linimax stops the joint pain, makes them move more freely, and gives me back my life. It even has helped the muscles when they are stiff. I have tried many prescription drugs, and nothing comes close to Linimax.

-- Lorraine

35. My favorite Watkins health product is Linimax. I am a diabetic, and with diabetes comes the possibility of neuropathy in the feet. I have painful neuropathy... But, after about three weeks the Linimax worked. I could finally sleep without my feet hurting and waking me up.

-- Paula

Mood Plus

36. If my house were burning down, I would rescue my Mood Plus! After suffering a head injury, along with other serious injuries to my body in an auto accident, not only my attitude changed, but also left me a depressed insomniac, with chronic pain. I was not a pleasant person to be around, and after suffering like this for over 2 years, I just couldn't go on with my life like this. Never had I considered taking an herbal supplement, but when I received the literature on the Mood Plus, the only word that leaped from the page was insomnia. I thought, if I could just get a good night sleep, something I hadn't had in over 2 years, maybe, just maybe, I would snap out of this depression. Never in my wildest expectations did I even consider that I would not only get a good night sleep, but ease in my chronic pain, AND best of all, a return to my former self. The difference was noticed by the people around me within 2 weeks. This is one product you will never see me without.

-- Evelyn

Soynilla

37. Soy Nilla has become my favorite Watkins health product. I am not ashamed to say that I am 47 years old and am going through menopause. I expected all kinds of mood swings and other hormonal changes, but never experienced them. What I did experience, however, was insomnia and leg pains. No one ever told me about those symptoms until I was miserable for at least a year. Soy Nilla at bedtime put an end to all that. Thank you Watkins.

-- Nancy

Superfood Multiple

38. The Superfood Multiple vitamins are excellent. I have tried other brands of multiple vitamins and haven't gotten anywhere near the results that I have with Watkins.

-- Cindy

Weight Management System

39. Watkins Weight Management System is the greatest, because I love eating at night and if I take my Reduce Plus, that is not a problem.

-- Mattie

40. WMS. I've lost 40 lbs!

-- Tom

41. The Watkins Weight Management System has helped me safely and pleasantly lose over thirty pounds over a period of about four months. I've never felt better. The Watkins Weight Management System and a moderate exercise program made it easy to lose unwanted weight that I couldn't seem to do anything about previously. It's just great.

-- Mike & Nancy

Other Dietary Supplements

42. Watkins Male Formula combined with the Superfood and Rezist Plus has helped to keep me healthy even though I am bombarded daily with Junior High students and their coughs and colds.

-- Sam

43. Eye Care Formula has really made a positive difference in my vision---in fact, I had to get new glasses.

-- Cheryl

44. Several years ago, Watkins came out with Rezist Plus. Just before that, my hubby and I came down with the flu. I haven't had the flu since or been sick for that matter. Thanks, Rezist Plus!

-- Susan

45. My daughter has been taking the Hair, Skin and Nails and her hair no longer look dull and she's finally growing some nails.

-- Ruth

46. I take Watkins supplements religiously, and have for over a year. In that time I have not had a single cold. Not even a sniffle. I use the daily supplement organizers---fill them weekly and take them wherever I go. My daily supplements include: Superfood Multiple, Female Formula, Linimax, Skin Hair & Nails, and I alternate other supplements on a monthly basis like Eye Care, Brain Plus, or Inner Cleanse Restore. I know it sounds like a lot, and I'm not very good at swallowing pills, but I feel the results are well worth the effort.

-- Jamie

47. We use Mood Plus, Female Formula, Children's Chewables, Male Formula, and Ginseng. I guess the Children's Chewables would have to be my favorite. The kids have been taking them since I started selling Watkins, and they still remind me I forgot the vitamins at suppertime! I had tried Flintstones and other competing brands, and the kids would take them for a couple weeks and then wouldn't take anymore. One day I tried one of those other brands, and it left a nasty taste in my mouth---I can see why they didn't care for them.

-- Teresa

48. I feel a lot better since I am taking Watkins Nutritional Supplements daily. Everyday I take the following: E+CoQ10, Superfood Multiple, Linimax, Fruit & Veggie Complex, and Osteogen. Some of my family members are now also taking Superfood Multiple and Fruit & Veggie Complex.

-- Mary





Testimonials about Health Aids (other than Supplements)

Salves, Ointments, Liniments

49. I love Watkins Menthol Camphor salve... grew up on it. My Mom rubbed it on my chest, put a warm towel over me, and it loosened all my congestion.

-- Samuel

50. I do most of my shopping with Watkins. And it's not because I sell the products, but because they are the best and really SAVE me money. Red Barn for hands and Red Clover for calluses of the feet works great.

-- Richard



Testimonials about Personal Care Items

Oral Hygiene

51. Watkins Whitening Peppermint Toothpaste is a spa treatment for your teeth. Your teeth are gently cleaned and whitened, and the just brushed feeling lasts all day. No matter what I eat, or drink, my teeth feel smooth, clean and fresh all day.

-- Evelyn

Bath, Shower, and Skin Care Items

52. The Vanilla Hand and Body Lotion is my personal favorite. It has a soft scent which doesn't over power the senses, and it keeps my skin wonderfully soft.

-- Diane

53. I really like the Aloe & Green Tea Hand & Body Lotion. I have never used any lotion that has felt so silky while it was being used. And the benefits from the lotion long outlast that of any that you can buy at a store.

-- Cindy

54. I really love the Vanilla Body Wash. Such a wonderful, fresh smell.

-- Paula

55. Watkins Aloe & Green Tea underarm deodorant is our favorite. It leaves a nice scent and isn't sticky.

-- Diana

56. Aloe and Green Tea Liquid Hand Soap is my favorite personal care product. It makes your hands feel so soft. There is no mess in your bathroom like there is when you use a bar of soap at the sink. It smells nice also.

-- Lorraine

Other Personal Care Products

57. The only cologne I ever use now is Watkins Vanilla Cologne Mist and the Roll-On. I absolutely love the smell of vanilla, and so does everyone else! Watkins Vanilla Cologne Mist actually smells like the real thing, Watkins Vanilla! In the old days, women would put a bit of vanilla behind their ears instead of perfumes. I especially like the fact that it is natural and comforting scent! Most perfumes and colognes give me a headache. And many just don't smell good at all. Watkins Vanilla Cologne is great for me and I have never offended anyone, even people who are allergic to perfume have no problem with my vanilla!

-- Jan

58. The Vanilla Cologne Mist I wear has become a hit at the office. It is such an unusual scent, I am constantly asked "What is that perfume you are wearing?" It is an easy way for me to start telling them about my Watkins business.

-- Patricia

59. Rejuvenating Peppermint Foot Cream is without a doubt my favorite. Its better than s _ _.

-- Jack

60. The Watkins personal care product I like best is the Menthol Drops [Menthol Lavender "Breathe Easy" Relief Drops]. I have allergies and at night, I put drops on both ends of my pillow and it helps keep my nasal passages open all night.

-- Ben

61. I like Watkins Vanilla LipCare lip balm, because it goes on smooth and doesn't flake. And with the vanilla, it doesn't taste like medicine.

-- Samuel



Testimonials about Home Care Items

Cleaning Products

62. My favorite home care product is Watkins Citrus All-Purpose Cleaner. It works great, smells good, and I can breathe when I use it.

-- Lou

63. Watkins Stain Pro Rug Cleaner is a great product. It is so easy to use, I just put it in a spray bottle to make it easier to work with. We have two dogs who have big paws, but thanks to Watkins Stain Pro you can no longer see the paw prints.

-- Patricia

64. The Citrus All-Purpose Cleaner is fantastic. As far as I'm concerned it's got all other competing products beaten by miles.

-- Cindy

65. I enjoy the ease of general cleaning with the Citrus All-Purpose Cleaner, as well as the nice clean citrus smell it leaves in place of the dirt.

-- Isabelle

66. Without a doubt, I like the Creme Cleanser, because I clean my church every weekend, and it's the only thing that works on the scuff marks.

-- Anne

67. My favorite home care product is the Citrus All-Purpose Cleaner. It does a great job and smells so good that it's actually a pleasure to use it.

-- Eldon

68. The Citrus All-Purpose Cleaner is great for cleaning up messy areas in the kitchen, even yucky dirty stove tops.

-- Carolyn

69. My husband uses Watkins Window and Glass Cleaner---if we are getting low he lets me know! No more Windex in our home.

-- Sandra

70. We like the Stain Pro Rug Cleaner. We've never found anything else that works nearly as well and it's really easy to use too. With Watkins Stain Pro Rug Cleaner we can clean spots as they happen and never let the carpet cleaning job develop into a big one.

-- Mike & Nancy

71. Organic Cleaner is a favorite for cleaning the kitchen, the kennel, and even the motorhome. In fact, we haven't yet found anything its not good for.

-- Jack

72. I like the Organic Cleaner. What sold me the most on it was my 9 year old son's grass and dirt stains on his baseball uniform. I had used a stain remover spray--no good. Tried dish detergent (not Watkins). Still no good. Then tried the Organic Cleaner. Voilà. The stain finally came out.

-- Paula

73. I like the natural based cleaning products, and it is wonderful to find them at a reasonable price with Watkins. I could get organic cleaners at the store but they cost so much more. We use the Watkins Organic Cleaner and Degreaser for everything.

-- Malysa

74. We really like the Toilet Bowl Cleanser and the Caddy with Brush. This product allows us to do a distasteful job in a fraction of the time it would otherwise take.

-- Ben

Laundry Products

75. One of my favorite things is the Generation III Laundry Detergent. It really works well with hard water. Our clothes come out clean and soft.

-- Zoe

76. My favorite home care product has to be the Laundry White. Since I wear white in my job, this product keeps my clothes white. Even with all the iron in our water.

-- Ruth

77. The Generation III Laundry Detergent is great! It used so little for each load and keeps my clothes as white as can be.

-- Barbara

78. Triple Action Laundry Detergent is fabulous on the clothes--makes the clothes soft, clean and less wrinkled.

-- Michael

79. I use Watkins powdered laundry soap and absolutely love it. With other laundry soaps, the soap always stays in the clothes, doesn't wash out completely, and leaves the clothes soapy. With Watkins powdered laundry soap clothes are soap free after washing. Diapers even come out smelling fresh and clean (like new).

-- Malysa

Others

80. I simply adore the Bio-Drain Opener. We have old pipes filled with soap scum, paper pulp, hair, grease, you name it. As you can imagine, the already narrow pipes are even more narrow, and water runs down real slow, or not at all. I tried many name-brand products, that had to sit, and then never really open the passageway. After a few treatments with the Bio-Drain Opener, our pipes run smoother, and cleaner.

-- Evelyn
