Although I have never bought things advertised on the paid programs I admit some of the items look interesting. " Not sold in stores" is a red flag. That might translate into " If you see this trash in stores, you won't buy it ".
While rummaging among out stuff we came up with a mango cutter. Where it came from I cannot tell. Some well meaning relative, friend or other admirer, knowing our love of the mango may have sent it to us . I don't believe this item was ever sold in stores. It does seem to be well made. "Only $19.95. Act now and we will send you not one but two at no additional cost".
It just doesn't work. It mostly squashed the mango and had great difficulty penetrating the skin. My suggestion: Beware of the paid TV programs.

Have you ever noticed that the same guy (who yells the whole add), is used for half of these products?
Can't say he is an effective spokesperson, but the sellers must think so, and this guy must be wealthier that we can imagine!
I think that was a Christmas gift from Chip...
don't worry, I'm not offended. He thought they were so cool, and I didn't have the heart to tell him that I really like cutting mangoes the old-fashioned, manual way.
Some innovations don't need to be made.
