Just got mine today due to the backshipment and boy am I ready to get some fresh corn! :) Come on snow-- melt!!:love:
 
I got mine and the first thing I did was try to scrape pineapple off the peel after using the pineapple wedger. (I hate that it wastes so much good fruit). It works GREAT!! I got a whole prep bowl full of crushed pineapple just from one piece of the pineapple peel! I can't wait to show those two items and cross sell them!
 
I forgot I am getting one on BO for my sample supplies :)

Cool cross-sell idea!
 
I just got mine yesterday, too! :) Can't wait to try it! I love that idea about the pineapple!
 
I received mine yesterday. I am looking forward to using. Thanks for the pineapple idea...I will have to try it!
 
Off to buy corn and another pineapple... Great idea! Thanks for sharing!
 
I just have to say the last time I was in Sally's Beauty Supply I was browsing through the foot creams and saw a "corn cutter" that looks EXACTLY like our kernal cutter. So you could always offer it as a rather functional item since we can use them on the tough parts of our feet, too!!! Ewww:yuck: I just grossed myself out. Well, at least we know where one PC muse is!:D

Oh my gosh! :yuck: But that would be a funny gag to show friends who have that type of sense of humor! LOL
 
That reminds me of a post several months back where some guest used her micr-plane grater as a "Ped Egg" EWWWWWWWW!!
 
Sounds like something out of Ann's "Potty Party," doesn't it?
 
You really need to send this idea to home office as a quick tip. It is an awesome tip and I am sure they would love it and pass it on to consultants

No not about the feet! About the pineapple! LOL :rolleyes:

Jean emailed me back that she thought it was a great idea (cross selling with the pineapple wedger).
 
That is TOOO funny :P Thanks for the Pineapple tip....just got mine from backorder...will have to try it out!!
 
That is a GREAT tip! (the pineapple one, not the foot one). I had noticed on the video demo how much was wasted and I too had been put off by that. But this is an excellent idea!!
I am doing a show tomorrow afternoon and I had bought a pineapple to demo the wedger and just got the kernel cutter today, so I will have to take that along too. I also bought chocolate chips to melt in the microcooker so the guests can dip the pineapple in chocolate.
 
Thanks for the pineapple tip.

Why are you demoing Spring products already? You can't sell them until March 1. My customers would be upset if I featured things they couldn't get yet. Give them a teaser - "wait till you see how awesome the new products are" and show/give new product brochures at checkout to generate bookings.
 
I think someone should contact HO about the kernal cutter doubling as a corn cutter for your feet in a pinch! I wonder what Jean would think of that. How about it KG?

LOL Re-reading this I'm just shaking my head that I thought you were talking about the feet! :eek: :D :blushing: Oh that is too funny! I don't know why I assumed you were referring to the feet tip, I should have thought that through better. I think it's just the way the thread was going it just sounded so funny! :balloon:

Don't blame m...er...give me credit for it, I just stole the idea from Vicki and Christy.
 
Okay then, how about it ladies? It'd be sooo funny to see your ideas in an upcoming tip from HO :D
 
I am absolutely dying laughing here! I dont think I'll be able to demo the corn cutter with a straight face!
