Episode Details

How do you pick edible glitter on Amazon when every listing looks the same? Three checks, in order — and the sticker price is the least useful number on the page. Check one is the label test, online edition: find the ingredient list in the photos or description before anything else. Edible glitter is required by law to carry one, so a listing that shows it is showing its homework — and "non-toxic" with no ingredient list means scroll on. Check two is serving math, not sticker math: the drink serving is 0.1 grams, so a 10 g jar is about 100 servings — roughly 15 cents a serving — and that number makes different jar sizes comparable when the sticker hides the spread. Check three is the crowd: the category's top products cluster around 4.5 stars and up with well over 1,000 reviews. In this episode (an Ask the Table short): - The three checks, in the order that protects a paid order - Dana's winning round: sort-by-price survives — as step two, never step one - The pro follow-up: asking for the safety data sheet before a client or inspector asks you - Why cheap isn't a red flag, but unlabeled cheap isn't a deal at any price Who should skip the homework: display-only buyers (craft glitter money), and the one-jar birthday buyer — run check one and enjoy the party. The MONÉGASQUE 12-color luster dust set is on Amazon — the line's lowest price per gram, ingredient lists printed, sifter caps; check the listing for today's price. Produced with AI-crafted hosts.
