On the kitchen counter was a handwritten note with a drawing of five stars, one of which was shaded in. “I miss being able to use ketchup when eating food. Please replenish,” the note said. “1 out of 5. Do not recommend this household.” The family was nonplussed. “It kind of threw us off,” said Blake Garavaglia, 19. “My parents at first thought it was me.” But they figured out the review was left by Blake’s older brother David, 21, who had returned late the night before, drunk and hungry, and wasn’t able to find any ketchup for his midnight snack. “My brother is usually [introverted] and we haven’t really seen him drunk since he just turned 21,” Blake said. “We all s--t our pants laughing.” (MS/PA) ...House smells like crap. One star!
