I am AMAZED at how many are listed! I noticed PC is not...probably because of our intense advertising restrictions! But when you're the best, you don't need to be on a list like this!

Seriously, I'm shocked. I never heard of about 3/4 of these.
 
Wow! That is a lot!

I have actually been hearing radio commercials for Pure Romance parties. I figure they must be despirate to be advertising on the radio.
 
Seriously, I only knew of 2 dozen companies on that list and besides Tupperware... there really wasn't anything like PC to compare us with ;).
