I just received my March Family Fun magazine today and I see that the Apple Peeler Corer Slicer is mentioned in the magazine. The article titled "The Dish on Dinner" is on page 70. The article subtitle is "a special report on our reader's dinnertime habits".

It gives lots of info on stuff like what kind of foods our kids vs. parents like, how many times a week our families are eating at the table, what is talked about at the table, what some of our worries about eating are, what habits we have formed, who does the cooking, etc.

On page 76 in the lower left corner of the page in red ink is the subtitle "Fun Gadgets", Under that is the following:

"What clever devices bring a smile? Apple Peelers, corers, and slicers top the list, especially those made by Pampered Chef, the brand families, mentioned most."

Wouldn't this be great to mention at the shows? I think I would like to copy and laminate this article and take it to my shows. I think guest would like to read the article for fun, and I could mention the ACPS is in it. :D
 
How cool is that!?!??!
