Marshmallows?

LilacTree — Sun, 13 May 2018 15:10:47 GMT

Couldn't sleep last night, so I watched the Q present the TSV, muted of course.

I thought I was seeing things when the vendor used two scales, I would assume to show how "lightweight" the TSV sandals were. On one scale she put one sandal. On the other she kept piling marshmallows on it until the weights matched. Huh?

I would assume she will do this all day today, so perhaps you will see this "presentation." It reminds me of the old question, "which weighs more, a pound of feathers or a pound of rocks?"

And I thought drawing x's on a model's leg was nutty.

That's hilarious! And you're right regarding a pound of feathers and a pound of rocks, rofl..... a pound's a pound!

@LilacTree I saw the presentation last night too!! Why do they think comparing sandals to marshmallows are going to sell sandals? Very strange.I’m out!!

I remember a brand of shoes from back in the '70s called Marshmallows. Am I just imagining this or does anyone else remember that brand?

When I saw your thread title I thought we were actually discussing marshmallows! I did not see the shoe demonstration so I was getting ready to mention that I think I am allergic to marshmallows because whenever I eat anything with them I get a migraine headache!!

Good thing you didn't watch it then. Actually, it made me giggle, it was just so ridiculous. LOL

Since it takes all kinds to make the world go round, I have to say why I actually liked the marshmallow comparison.

My feet have changed A LOT since my knee replacements, and buying shoes is now a much bigger deal than I’d like for it to be. The more facts that can be shared orally and visually about a shoe, the better I like it, and the more it helps me decide whether that might be the right shoe for me. I do look for lightweight shoes, and comparing the actual weight of the shoe to marshmallows gives me a very good idea about the weight I’m putting on my feet.

So how many marshmallows did it take to match the shoe in weight?

Love me some s'mores or rice krispie treats

I counted 22 large marshmallows on the scale.

She had to keep piling them on . . . I didn't count, but for her sake I hope she got it straight if she had to do this all day!!

I don't get why this was so weird. Amy is pointing out how light weight the shoes are. I think we all know how light marshmallows are.

I also swore during the presentation with Jayne Brown she said 12 marshmallows were the same weight as the shoes. But I could be wrong. She definitely wasn't piling a ton of marshmallows on the scale. Both weighed 5 point some odd ounces and while it's the same weight, it's easy to imagine the weight of 12 marshmallows, IMO.
