Word-of-mouth-worthy products Dept.:
Just ran across an interesting new product that is apparently catching on by WOM: the Pluot(r). It's a cross (actualy an "interspecific," which is more than just a blend) between a plum and an apricot and comes in many varieties. It tastes great, but our focus here is on interesting Word of Mouth stories.
To read an interesting WOM story about how the Pluot word of mouth is being transmitted by an expert and by ordinary people, see Emeril's post about it here.
You can also read about the product from its developer. Link. There, you'll also read about another product, but I'll let you discover it for yourself.
Isn't this a product that cries out for sampling and in-store tasting? Why haven't I been offered a taste of this wonderful product?
Warning: don't just buy one to take home.
By the way, I go to a small Korean supermarket (Orange Market in Orangeburg, NY) that will let me taste (actually, they encourage me to taste) any fruit that I'm thinking of buying.
