“Without EN there would be No Eggies” That’s right, and without those rough sketches Betsy Kaufman drew during that surge of creativity |

That’s quite an incredible sentiment Frank. It actually has really made me think a lot since I read it. It is very touching! I do know that the most special gift in my whole life has been and is my family. But the most unexpected gift of my life has certainly been stumbling upon EN and connecting with all of you. Without EN there would be No Eggies, so it is all tied up with the same beautiful bow! |

Thanks Patricia! For someone like me who’s been in TV news my whole career…this experience really makes me at times have a loss for words. A $25 dollar submission and then ALL this? Mind blowing! I’m probably not deserving, but I sure am appreciative! |

Thanks Sher! That was so darling of Andy Berger to take that pic! If that display had been at a BBB in Houston—-there would have been one more element in the pic….me fainting on the floor! Ha, ha. Man, what a THRILL it will be to see a display in person. I’m just OVERWHELMED by what EN and ALLSTAR are doing! It’s beyond my comprehension and wildest imagination! |

Betsy your product can make any shape that can slip out of the mold. How about something like EggHead where famous faces come out or any fun shape. Think of all the collectables. |

“Hmmm, I wonder if I put a potato in Mr. Potato Head and put in the oven with some butter – maybe it would make mashed potatos. Maybe not.” Even though, Mr. Potato Head wasn’t designed to withstand the extreme temperatures of your common everyday household ovens, he sure still can make a hellava baked tater though! You actually might be onto something there, Don…If ya can just get passed the toxic fumes and taste of melting plastic!?

Betsy, great video. As others have commented you look very confident on camera and would make a great spokesperson for the product. Be prepared to be known worldwide as the “The Eggie Lady”. Just smile and thank them as you cash those royalty checks. : ) |

Great product Betsy and you are a natural on TV. Think seriously about being a spokesperson for TV ads of other consumer products. Get an agent and go for it. My wife is also “not an inventor” and came up with an idea for the current ASOTV 2 EN search. She went to G7 in a week. Here’s hoping. Hmmm, I wonder if I put a potato in Mr. Potato Head and put in the oven with some butter – maybe it would make mashed potatos. Maybe not. Good luck. |

Funny Richard, I’m not sure but, I think it might have been about IVF….invitro fertilization. Over the past several months I have googled ‘Eggies’ just to see what was happening with the TV test infomercial. In that time, I’ve learned that LOTS of people talk online about IVF frozen ‘eggies’….there’s a hard rock music group named ‘Soft Boiled Eggies’….there are ‘Eggies’ restaurants, a video game——-Oooooh I could go on and on. :-) I have become the ‘Eggies’ Googling expert! Ha, ha |

Betsy, I just viewed the video. I’m very impressed, you’re a natural in front of the camera, no stammering, and a great speaking voice. After vewing the video i saw a little below on the U-tube list, the title for frozen eggies. It had nothing to do with eggies at all, just about previously frozen eggs for breakfast. But I wondered how they would do with freezing after boiling. I’ve got chickens and usually a surplus of eggs, during the warm months, but not in the winter. I’ll have to experiment with them. I’m excited for you, and if the idea that I’ve submitted, that would compliment eggies, makes it through all the way, I’ll be excited for us. |

Wow … Awesome! Can’t wait to hear!! I know EN is amazing, it has changed the way I look at my own crazy ideas… All it takes is one .. You are eggie proof of that… :-) I think you could package your egglets in a cutesy little crate at Easter time and include little decorative accessories, something like Mr. Potato Head etc … Or just edible something or other .. Always thinking for my team!! |

Sir Eggward…you are too funny and creative! I wish I could figure out how to bottle up your extreme talent — and submit IT into an LPS search. In Fact, maybe your DNA is exactly the chemical compound, or whatever Mattel was looking for in their LPS. Hmmmmm…. Krissie—-believe me, ideas come to ALL of us. With EN, now there’s a way to do something with them. Like I’ve said before—- without knowing about EN—-there would be NO EGGIES. I would have had the idea, forgotten about it and had egg salad for lunch! |

Oh, I see you’ve already begun working on a Sir Eggward prototype to possibly become the official Eggspert spokes caricature for Eggies, huh!? Well, may I submit for your consideration, a possible substitution for Sir Eggward’s ASOTV cameo commercial debut…Definite maybe, right?!
