There is a thread of people reviewing tires (again!) on 9-5 forum. Sometimes reviews of product become very biased - e.g. everybody claims the tires they picked are superior - making researching reviews on tirerack essentially useless. Here is another example of why one should not always believe online reviews (see the link).
For those who does not know Oscillococcinum is a true "homeopathic" medicine, meaning it starts with some substance (goose liver in this case) and then it gets diluted by some obscene fraction - 10^400 in this case (the whole universe is less than 10^90 elementary particles, ha!).
There is absolutely no doubt Oscillococcinum has no medical powers - other than a placebo effect. But read the reviews!!! About 40 mostly 5-star-positive reviews!!! Granted, there are a few negative reviews, but they are even funnier. Some guy complained it was not clearly stated it contains goose liver and he was vegetarian!!! Makes you think what one can or cannot believe in internet reviews.
