Pampered Chef's Strange Fly Swatter Request: A Puzzling Story

[ChefJWarren]

Did PC ever sell a Fly Swatter??? A guest at my show last night was disappointed we don't sell it anymore. I was perplexed. I've never heard of that. I thought her husband was making fun of PC when he first asked for it.

Yes! It's cool!

Has a "broom" type edge, to sweep the dead fly into the attached DUST PAN. Plus, there are tweezers that fit into the end of the handle to pick up flies!

Yes, it was a great swatter, too. Some have shown up in surprise boxes at conference. The Super Swat had a dustpan attached, and the edge of the swatter had bristles on it for sweeping the dead fly into the dustpan. There was also a pair of tweezers that fit into the end of the handle.I used to joke that it was the only item we sold that not only didn't come with a recipe, but who would want one?

I had a guest who bought the Super Swat for the dustpan. She said it was the perfect size for cutting her breadsticks for the church bake sale. It even had a beveled edge. I told her I would make sure it was only used for that purpose, and not the original manufacturer's suggested purpose. I then said, "Of course, I won't be at the bake sale, so it won't really matter to me."

I turned to the other guests and said, "Now, if she has raisins in some of those breadsticks, you're all going to wonder for just a moment. Aren't you?"

BTW, I spoke with the host several months later. She said the whole crowd was talking about those breadsticks and the "cutter" that was used. LOL!

My sister has a great story about sending a PC fly swatter to the white house, and they called back and wanted more!

 

[erinyourpclady]

I love mine!! I will be SO very upset if anything ever happens to it...but then again, I think that of most of my PC!
Oh and I believe that I live in the epicenter of fly universe. Seriously........
My DH was ATTACKED by horse flies while running the other day....he said that he looked like some kind of crazy fool running down the road swatting madly....LOL

 

[chefdiana2007]

My friend has one and I so want one:balloon:...It would be great if it showed back up or on the outlet..:sing:..

 

[PChefPEI]

That's kinda cool! Never would have pictured PC selling something like that. Of course, it would be no good for me....I need a vacuum cleaner to get the flies at our house....:yuck::yuck:

I just had someone ask me for them too! I just joined 3 months ago, so I had no idea what they were talking about.
