This is from the Product Information Guide for the i-slice that I found on Consultant's Corner:
Features & Benefits: Long-life, lightweight ceramic tip is handy to clip recipes, coupons, plastic film on CDs and DVDs. The i-Slice® cuts through shrink-wrap, safety seals and more. It is compactly sized and easily accessible with a convenient built-in magnet and key-ring hole. Comes in an attractive cranberry color.
Effective selling phrases: “You’ll want at least one i-Slice®! This handy tool is perfect to clip recipes, coupons, magazine articles or cut gift wrapping paper quickly and easily. And when you need to open a CD or DVD case, this is the perfect tool.”
Cross-sell with: Jar Opener, Easy Opener, Kitchen Shears
Booking/Recruiting tie-in: After you demonstrate the i-Slice®, you might say, “I’d love to talk to you about the Pampered Chef® business opportunity. It could help you slice through bills, pay off the mortgage, or do something fun with your family.”
Demo Tips:
• The i-Slice® is quick and easy to demonstrate. Pass around a stack of magazines and have guests clip coupons or cut out pictures.
• Suggest that guests buy an i-Slice® for their purse, one for a friend and one for the office. These are perfect stocking-stuffers or package tie-ons during the holidays.

I of course mention the cds and dvds, but it's also good for opening ANY type of bagged goods item like chocolate chips, coconut, broccoli, peas, etc. I also keep on my key chain so that when I'm in the dr's office and I see an article or recipe I want, I can quietly cut out what I want rather than ripping out the entire page!!! Everyone chuckles at that! I also use it to cut the tape on my boxes that I receive.
