Abstract: The invention provides a method for gathering and showcasing validated customer reviews of online merchants. The invention is comprised of three parts: a first part being a web page plugin application; a second part being a cloud software platform; and a third part being a block chain network. When a customer makes a purchase, the plugin (embedded on merchant's website) asks them if they would like to leave a review. Once accepted, the software links the customer with the merchant's identification and they are redirected to the invention's webpage. After a review is posted it is then validated and stored on a secure ledger that is part of a block chain. Merchants are allowed to post replies that are stored on the block chain. Reviews and replies are displayed publically on the invention's website. An object of the invention is to minimize false reviews of online merchants.

The tubular member extends along an elongated axis between the first end and the second end. The discharge tube includes a first end portion provided at the first end of the body portion. The first end portion includes a first tapered portion that is tapered in a direction extending substantially perpendicular from the elongated axis. The first tapered portion includes an interior surface facing the interior area. The tapered portion spans between a maximum extent in the direction of the elongated axis and a minimum extent in the direction of the elongated axis.
