Re: STOP PETTING THE CLOTHES

@Othereeeen   "I think we watch too much shopping channels.....!"  I think some of you do!  I come here to read the comments, can't remember the last time I watched more than 2 minutes of any QVC presentation.  Too funny!

Re: STOP PETTING THE CLOTHES

They probably do this more often than they need to, but I actually like it when they run their hands over the fabric of a garment, blanket, or other fabric—it often helps me see how the material lays and drapes and can be especially helpful if it's some new fabric formulation they've come up with or something I haven't experienced in person.

Re: STOP PETTING THE CLOTHES

I'm the type that likes to see them squishing leather handbags. I want to see how pliable it is.

Re: STOP PETTING THE CLOTHES

I forgot....!!!Aside from petting, tugging, grinning, happy dancing and yumyumming and bubbling......

 

Meat Squeezie!!!!  (Where various cuts of meat are manually tortured, squeezed, manipulated, scorched, slapped, cut into with sharp knives, probed, sliced into slices, coins, chunks, diced, broiled, seared, breaded, glopped with goopy BBQ sauce, or otherwise di- or vivisected to allegedly show how tender and delicious they will be on YOUR plate!!

 

But .....squeezing is the premier way to demonstrate this....especially when using injected meat products!!!

 

That's why I reserve my "special designation" on days when meat is offered as a TSV ....as "Meat Squeezie Days" on QVC!!!

 

Close up camera work, blood dripping, oozing clear and cloudy lipids.(or fat, which they slyly describe in glowing terms as "marbling" (as if we don't know that means FAT!!!)...all designed to entice you to call in for these special magical meats that are in no way different than what you can buy in your local market....!!! ( Which is where I think they get it for the demos....ever notice all that Wegman's food being used?!?!??!? )

 

 

Of course, you can't squeeze the _______ out of it in the market!!! Well you CAN, but you'll likely be escorted from the meat department post haste!!!!

 

They also do a bang up job of torturning those little balls of chocolate candy ( Lindt truffles)... slowly probing thier exposed centers with pointy daggers to demonstrate how creamy dreamy the filling will be in your mouth!!!

Squishing the leathers bags is the worst

Re: STOP PETTING THE CLOTHES

When their hand is all over the fabric petting it you can't see the item clearly; the color, the texture, the things you want to look at to help you decide on something

Ugh! Especially Beekman soap and Philosophy shower gel.
