Yeah, no thanks. Upon entering, the first thing I saw was a red flashing card with:

LIMITED TIME EARLY BLACK FRIDAY SALE!

11:59:56

USE CODE "EARLYBF" for 25% off

There couldn't be any better indicator than this that this service is BS.

~Oh and the counter resets everytime I visit the site, lol~

Aaaa, in the original code, I was attempting to parse the date in the format mm:dd:yyyy. However, I used a different date format in the endDate, which caused the timer to be reset (since it crashed). I apologize for any confusion this may have caused! I’ve updated the code now. Thanks for letting me know! :3
