Thanks Craig!!  Did this link work?  It will be on my website on the "news" page soon, but for now, I think this is it.

It was a blast!!!  I will take all the criticisms and mull them over.  I appreciate anyone`s opinions and I just have to weigh all my options.  It was so much fun though!!

You were great on the show, Leslie!  Tough to keep a smile on your face through the picky
criticisms but you carried it off well.  I was shaking my head as they talked about name changes
for Grill Charms.  Yikes.  What a costly pain that would be!  Hope you don`t have to detour.  You have momentum right now & publicity begets more publicity.
Go Girl!

GAAACK! These people are idiots!! Thank you for putting up the video link, because I don`t think it wouldn`ve nearly been as good in print.

I watched your video, and the show`s intro, and thought it was fantastic! Then I watched the guy in the gray suit, with his scowl of elite patronization. Oy! When he immediately said he was too stupid (uncultured:?) to know what wine charms are, he totally blew his credibility from that point forward.

I don`t know who the lady is, but she`s as much of an idiot, so I don`t know at all why they`re either of them on this show. Donny Deutsch seemed at least exciting and to know what he`s doing in terms of building excitement, and you sure carried the day with your passion, fun, and overall pure and simple joy at being there.

No, you didn`t look panicked....maybe to some of us here on SuN who might be looking for it, you just looked like you were thoroughly enjoying yourself. Confidence blazed across the screen, and in an interesting way, it looked to me as if YOU were running the show, not the hosts. :-D Way t`go...!

Don`t even think about changing the name! That`d be like someone telling the Beatles that their name didn`t mean anything, so get rid of it. Better yet: what would these dorks have told Steve Jobs about his new product the "iPod?"

"Eye pod? It strikes me as something involving an eye infection, or a patch of some kind. I`d change the name, as customers likely won`t be able to identify with it. Without immediate customer identification to the name, the business is pointless."

Yah. That`s what they`d say.

But what about the instant recognition of being served the wrong piece of chicken, as you do in 10 seconds or less on the video! Which, by the way,  would likely end up mixed into any commercial you ever do on television!

Chalk it up to paying dues, and accept the national promotional appearance.

(I can`t give it a rest, I`m too mad about it...!) 

"Kleenex? Why, who ever heard of such a term! It reminds me of `clean-X` and brings to mind a product that might be the opposite of cleaning. I recommend an immediate name change; one that consumers can more directly identify with. Perhaps something like `Snot-B-Gone,` or `Nose Wipes.` These would be much preferable!"

Or what about this:

"What does this mean: you`re going to Google an elephant? Why do you use a nonsense word as a verb? This is English 101, and we don`t allow students to simply make up words, willy-nilly!

"What`s that you say? `Google` means to search? Don`t be ridiculous, young man! It`s a nonsense word, pure and simple, and means nothing whatsoever."

Can someone say, "Get a clue," and maybe bring up the term "coin a phrase?" Yeesh!

Oh Craig you are too sweet.  Not to worry, I have let all the constructive criticisms "marinate" (Sorry.... I couldn`t help myself!) and no I will not change the name. I am more committed to making Grill Charms a household name then to changing it to something more descriptive.  Besides, any trademark attorney will tell you that you can`t get Federal Trademark protection on a "descriptive" name.
