Q Talk

I thought QVC was through pushing Flash Pad? But apparently I was wrong.

This item has been presented for years. As we get further into the holiday season, the hosts start competing with each other. Guess who's the most competitive. Yep, Shawn.

i feel she's very rude to the vendor, she'll say things like "you go ahead and present, I'll work on my game."

I'll be changing the channel every time I see this product on.

QVC, put this product to rest already.

I truly don't understand how anyone beyond the age of 3 would want to play this game. I've always been amused that, apparently, adults buy this for themselves.

I fell for the pitch the first year and now it's collecting dust.  I'm embarrassed that I gave one as a gift that year.  I do think it's silly for the hosts to be "competing" with each other.  The shtick has really gotten old. I also change the channel when they present that and some of their other toys that appear year after year (like that twister track, or whatever it's called).

I usually only watch shows I'm interested in, like WEN, Philosophy, or That's Cool with Jane, but sometimes I do catch a show with the Flash Pad and as soon as I see it, I change the channel. 

That toy would have been super cool back in the age of Speak and Spell, Merlin, and Simon, and the first Atari, but it's now 40 years later and I expect more from my electronics. The Flash Pad presentations are embarrassing and loud.

I've seen it on the homepage of this site, but thankfully, haven't seen it presented on air this year...yet. When I saw it, I thought, oh no, not that thing again.  I guess t's just like the same old Susan Graver barn coats and fleece coats that seem to come out year after year after year lol.  How about some new and different items all around, QVC?

My grandkids would look at me and say "huh?". GameBoys, Playstations, and XBoxs for them.... And, I seriously do not see an adult getting into it either. I like when they say to leave it on the coffee table and someone is sure to start playing - well, not anyone I know would , they would just think - why is that thing there and not even give it a second thought. But, then again - someone has been buying it all these years - so, they can't say that they are not  making money off that thing.

I guess they must still sell some of them, or they wouldn't keep bringing them back.  Frankly, I think all of these shopping channels are digging to find items to present for Christmas gifting!

I too was surprised to see this morning's presentation.  I thought this product had been relegated to the trashbin of history.  But I guess not.  Q must have found some more in the warehouse.

As annoying as some find the presentations, surely the item sells -- unless people actually believe QVC airs the item just to annoy us.

This old thing is a travesty and QVC should be ashamed for dragging it out every year to foist off on people who are totally out of the loop on technology.  Shame on them!
