Oh, gosh. I almost fell off of my office chair watching as the Orbitz gleam flew off of your tooth there at the end. I think the mango splitter people need to pay you for this one :)

I think I need a mango splitter. Sure, people may laugh at me using such a silly gadget. But, it beats the alternative (and by that I mean eating the mango alone in the bathtub where no one cares if I have mango dripping down my leg).

What a cute video, I’m still laughing, I particularly liked your hair at the beginning—ha! ha!. I’d love to win a mango splitter for myself too—after all it has so many uses :)

I loved this video!!! I don’t buy mangos anymore because of the mess. I’ll have to get one of these so my family can enjoy my mango salsa on salmon again!!

Very well done, I really enjoyed that video!

I love the video; it is so on point; it is messy and frustrating to get to the mango. :(

I hope I can win one.

Wonderful video! I spent my childhood in mango country, and my father used to say that the only way to eat a mango was in the bathtub…but he didn’t have a mango splitter! ;-)

MANGO splitter? I’d call that a SIDE-splitter if ever there was one! HILARIOUS! And now I want one. Badly! I don’t know how I’ve lived this long without splitting a piece of my hand off with a regular knife!

Mike July 7, 2010 at 9:36 am

Seems like a great invention! :-)

Judith July 7, 2010 at 9:35 am

What a fun project–well done. I never knew such a thing as a mango splitter existed. How did I live this long without one? Dreaming of mangoes…..

Reply

Amy July 7, 2010 at 9:34 am

Peter – Nope. Just for mangoes.

Reply

Peter July 7, 2010 at 9:33 am

Man-go!

I watched the ad a couple of times and couldn’t figure out if this also peels melons?

Reply

Calvina July 7, 2010 at 9:33 am

I buy mangos by the case all year round and spend hours peeling and cutting them up to freeze and this would definitely be a time saver for me. Please send me the free one.

I’m smiling! ;)

I’m smiling more! :)

May I have two mango splitters?

Lori July 7, 2010 at 9:25 am

That mango splitter would come in handy when I do my juicing.

Jennifer July 7, 2010 at 9:18 am

thanks for making me smile :)

Anyone who has ever mauled and mangled a mango can appreciate a splitter. I have yearned for one for ages.

Reply

Amy July 7, 2010 at 9:05 am

Lynda, Mom, and Dani – I did send it to OXO and they really enjoyed it – see comment above. They’re awesome.

Dianna – Dirt? Waaaa? No no no. Where are you buying your mangoes?

OXO – Thanks for having a sense of humor, you guys! Love love your products.

Kimberley – Love that you picked up on that! Bonus points.

Reply

Kimberley July 7, 2010 at 9:02 am

That’s hilarious — love the disclaimer. I have a smiley face :D so this counts. ;) Thanks for the chance…I’ve wanted one of these for a long time since I love making mango salsa.

OXO July 7, 2010 at 8:51 am

Great video! We’ve passed it around the office here at OXO and everyone loves it!

Reply

Dani H July 6, 2010 at 8:20 pm

Definitely upload this to YouTube AND contact Oxo! Repeated viewings required! My smile is so big that my cheeks hurt. FABulous, Amy! Oh, winning a mango splitter would be cool, but we’ve already won big, getting to see you! You’re certainly ready for your close up! *HUGS*

SUCH a cute video!! (So many uses!)

Reply

Dianna July 6, 2010 at 3:09 pm

you’re funny and your commerical is so cute… however I don’t like mangos so don’t pick me for the free giveaway. Don’t they taste a little like dirt :) LMAO!!!!

Reply

Elaine A July 6, 2010 at 2:49 pm

I butchered two larger mangoes yesterday and decided to leave the 3 smaller for another day! So this would be a welcome relief!

Reply

Jen July 6, 2010 at 2:34 pm

LMAO! OMG! I LOVE the little sparkle on the tooth at the end.

I own one, thanks to Amy, who gave it to me as a gift many moons ago.

I agree with Joann, load this on YouTube! This is THE best!

Reply

Mom July 6, 2010 at 2:33 pm

I laughed so hard, had to wipe away the tears. You are tooooo much! I agree with Lynda, the folks at Oxo Co should see this.

Reply

Jude July 6, 2010 at 1:38 pm

“But wait, there’s more!”: Your informercial is the best!

Lynda July 6, 2010 at 12:27 pm

I actually own a fantastic mango splitter. I don’t know how I managed without it. My daughter now has one on her wish list. The video is awesome-you need to share it with the Oxo Company folks! (I checked and my mango splitter is an Oxo product.)

Reply

Dad July 6, 2010 at 11:39 am

Bravo! Fantastic video, and I noted that the mango is a hair conditioner and the splitter helps comb your hair when you’re done.

Reply

Amy July 6, 2010 at 9:41 am

Joanne – It’s on YouTube. Gaining some steam, but nowhere near going viral. Tell your friends!!

Karen & Stephanie Thanks! We don’t take ourselves too seriously in this house.

Reply

Stephanie July 6, 2010 at 9:29 am

Encore! Encore! SO funny! Takes a certain kind of person to throw vain aside and have fun with themselves. I love this.

Reply

Karen July 6, 2010 at 9:19 am

You are my hero! I love love love to see people having fun with life! While I would love to get the free splitter, the smile you brought to my face made my day!

Cheers, all is well!

MaryAnne July 6, 2010 at 8:37 am

this is an AWESOME idea!!! great video & great newsletter!

Reply

Joanne July 6, 2010 at 7:09 am

I just fell in love with you. Even more than usual. Can I have your autograph?

You should load this on YouTube. Instant fame.

Reply

Kelly July 6, 2010 at 7:09 am

Very funny! But a mango splitter should would be great!

Reply

Amy July 6, 2010 at 6:40 am

Astrid – me, too! That’s usually the softest/juiciest part.

Kim – I wouldn’t last a day in Hollywood. My boobs are too small.

Reply

Kim July 6, 2010 at 6:37 am

No wonder you two moved closer to Hollywood! This is a Very Culinary classic. I had no idea your teeth were so sparkly! :) If I had this mango splitter, perhaps my teeth would sparkle like this. And that Voice Over was so haunting, so masculine, so convincing- I never knew I needed one of these. And it’s so affordable! Another for good measure– :)

Reply

Astrid July 6, 2010 at 6:29 am

That was pretty hilarious. I love mangos, but for some reason I haven’t had one in ages. My favorite part is eating the flesh around the seed. I would love to win one!

Reply

Niveditha July 6, 2010 at 12:54 am

Thanks for the giveaway…would love to have this mango splitter!!!

Reply

Tina July 5, 2010 at 11:30 pm

Seriously hilarious. I watched it 5x already.

delia July 5, 2010 at 11:23 pm

I love your little infomercial! I had never heard of a mango splitter, but the idea intrigues me since I do like to eat mangoes.

Reply

Liz July 5, 2010 at 11:21 pm

LMAO. That parody is hilarious. I love the tooth sparkle at the end. Oh ya and the mango splitter…would love one.

Reply

Margaret July 5, 2010 at 11:20 pm

After the mess I made of a mango today for salad I really need this little gadget. Love your infomercial.
