The recent return of "Test It Tuesday" includes a few interactive components. This blog allows me to tell you the "behind-the-scenes" story of our weekly tests. It also allows you to share with me ideas for products to put to the test.

One more thing I would like to see: I would like you to help me test these products. Just this past week, I got a suggestion for a great item I would like to test and e-mailed back the lady who made the suggestion. While she was excited we would be trying the product, she would not come on the air and actually do it. Her contention: Being on TV would add 10 pounds.

OK, I guess I can buy that but I think what makes this segment work so well is that it's not just me testing the items .. and there are items I would rather not test. I mean to you realy want to see me shaving my legs with the latest women's razor and actually trying to cook anything? Of course not.

While I am excited to see your suggestions, I also want to see your involvement. Come join me so we together can see if it really works. Also, don't be afraid. I won't track up the house and if you think you might look bad on TV, imagine what I must look like off the air.
