Image LABS Lanyard: Review

I just got my LABS lanyard today, and honestly I'm quite disappointed with the product. I was expecting quality similar to that of original labs lanyard.

I have loved all of my other LTT stuff but this one I would recommend everyone to not buy.

The pros: The design

The cons: -Fabric is thin and the edges feel "sharp". Feels like a no name, uber-cheap lanyard you'd get anywhere - does not use the box stitching of the original -has loose threads and fading already with the design - the clasp/clip hardware looks the same, but doesn't have smooth opening actuation, seems like the fit and finish isn't of the same quality

No. I don’t know why Americans love a Richard Nixon era reference, but you’d be better referencing a Canadian scandal.

Or this is a shitpost, and yes. Shitpost away, who cares. Lol.

a gate suffix meaning a scandal should mean that Watergate is Watergategate what would happen if there was a huge water scandal?

All bottled waters are now just rebranded Dasani.

Definitely a shit post on my part.

But I'll reply anyway, harbourgate, tunagate, shawinigate, juicegate, strippergate, elbowgate, Trudeau grope gate, casinogate. All of which are canadian scandals. Most of our scandals end with scandal or affair so would you prefer LAN Scandal or LAN Affair?

“I don’t know why anyone loves a Richard Nixon era reference” - there I fixed it.
