If you check out the nutrition info, my guess is that the sodium or shell fragments will get you first.

@Tatanoo46  There are things I really like to, but can't tolerate to eat. Im assuming she didn't say why because it would put a negative spin on the product she is selling and that would be dumb, and she isn't dumb. However, can't say the same about your comment.

How about you worry about your diet, and let Mary worry about hers ?  Unless she is stating that a product is gluten free and it is not, you have no kick coming.

I am sad ..... that people felt a need to mock @Tatanoo46 for her post.

The hosts are SALES PEOPLE...not celebrities or your friend or 'like family'...their job and livelihood depends on sales, therefore they will say or do whatever they need to sell the product they are presenting.

I don't really want to prolong this pointless discussion, but out of curiosity, I watched the presentation again (I didn't pay much attention originally because I don't eat seafood and therefore didn't care about the deal). At the very beginning, Mary mentioned this is her favorite crab cake brand, but she never tasted them or mentioned eating them during the entire presentation—she left most of the product descriptions to the company owner who was on Skype while she demonstrated closeups to the camera in studio. She added comments about how much she loved the company, its focus on quality, and the employees, especially since she had a chance to work with them briefly on one of their boats earlier this year.

 

So @Tatanoo46, I think it is entirely possible that Mary doesn't actually eat these crab cakes but still can say this is her favorite crab cake brand for other reasons.

 

(Edited to reflect the fact that, as @geezerette noted, Mary did take a bite.)

@Tatanoo46You've got too much time on your hands.  Do something worthwhile.

For many of us, sales staff need to be credible before you make a purchase from them.  It seems many folks give a pass to QVC accepting that their sales staff will tell you anything to make a sale.

 

If you were buying a car or furniture you go back to sales staff that are dependable,  know the products & tell you the truth.  If they don't, you usually don't go back to buy from them again.

 

Many years ago Jill was presenting the Quacker Factory show and slipped up during the presentations and said "well she'd never wear" their shirts.  Everytime we watched Jeanne Bice after that we couldn't help but remember and laugh about Jill's comment.

I beg to differ.

 

Watch the current video at about 2:50 and right after she cuts open a crab cake she takes a big bite.

 

Now it does look like she gets mostly the inner crab meat and not much of the outer cake part, but she did take at least one bite.  I didn't watch the rest of the video.
