HSN TS State Map Cutting Board

[ Edited ]

I got mine yesterday and its very nice.  Of course I got New Mexico. It'll look cute hanging in my kitchen.

 

The committed a big faux pas, however.  In the location of El Malpais National Conservation Area, they've put an exact replica of Delicate Arch, which is in Arches Natl Park in UTAH and is a state icon on their license plates.

 

At least they didn't include a Saguaro Cactus, a common booboo.  It's only found in Arizona but people are always sticking them in NM.

@On It  Did you catch the mistake?  It'll make a good conversation piece.

I haven't received mine. They just shipped today. Glad you pointed it out. BUT on the upside, they knew New Mexico was a state.

 

I had a problem last week where customer service from a company said that I needed to speak to the international department since I was in a foreign country. I explained that New Mexico was a state sitting between Arizona and Texas. They asked me to hold while they verified that it was a state. Then, they came back on the line and dealt with the matter.

@Kachina624 - Perhaps they were just trying to represent La Ventana? Obviously, it's not freestanding like Delicate Arch, but at least there actually is an arch in the vicinity of El Malpais.  Smiley Wink

@On It I am surprised by how many people who don't know New Mexico is a state herein the USA.

I'm in WA state and never did see it talked about during the hours of programs---I thought it looked quite big and I'm going to use it not put it on my wall. I need cutting boards----I do like using bamboo too.

Re: HSN TS State Map Cutting Board

I've had an ad pop up for state cutting/charcuterie boards on Facebook. They've gotten good reviews so I've been thinking of purchasing some for gifts.  I didn't realize HSN was offering something similar.  I'll have to go check it out.
