Have you ever purchased something from an infomercial? - GoFuckYourself.com

I've yet to find something that I'd even consider buying. "But wait... There's more!" never pushes me to pull out my CC.

How about you?

Not directly. But it did convince me to choose a George Foreman grill from ARS Rewards Catalog.

Babagirls · 01-21-2005, 04:31 AM

years ago, i bought those dumb ass tap lights lol
actually, im glad i did, they were handy little fuckers (until they all broke lol)

other than that, no.

Damn.. you have bought quite a few things!

I've purchased a Foreman Grill of course, but it wasn't from an infomercial. The coolest thing I've seen lately is the bags that store clothes... Once in the bag, you attach it to a vacuum hose, and such all the air out of it... From there, the bag is flat like a pancake, and you save a shitload of space!

s9ann0 · 01-21-2005, 05:34 AM

no but I always really want to buy the stuff!

then I think hang on I would never actually use that shit

beemk · 01-21-2005, 05:34 AM

never have never will

I like how they can cut through beer cans. Nice!

dennisthemenace · 01-21-2005, 06:30 AM

I've picked up a few things from late night TV..

Have you seen that new soldering iron that cools to the touch in 1 second? It's some kind of laser that heats up to a few hundred degrees instantly and cools just as fast. I don't do any soldering at all but I still want that thing.

d00t · 01-21-2005, 07:24 AM

loads of times... they have some great products on ODD OCCASIONS

Brad Gosse · 01-21-2005, 07:26 AM

Got a Ronco food dehydrator and a Ronco pasta maker for Xmas gifts.

Both were functional but not practical. They both ended up at the Salvation Army

tony286 · 01-21-2005, 08:10 AM

oxyclean and it didnt work worth a shit

x-vision · 01-21-2005, 08:44 AM

i was drunk one night a while back and got home late and flipped on the tv. don't really remember what happened, but a week later I get a "learn to sing with vocal coach to the stars" dvd in the mail and some hair gel.

lol I hate when you have had some drinks and do shit like that, usually I hit ebay though.

brand0n · 01-21-2005, 09:00 AM

no, never

Butrflied · 01-21-2005, 09:30 AM

I bought the windsor pilates system last fall .. and I own space bags and a george forman grill, but I didnt buy them on TV .. but I'm DYING to buy the magic bullet blender .. I get sucked into that infomercial every time I flip by it ..

Wiggles · 01-21-2005, 09:44 AM

i ordered one thing once because it got great reviews everywhere, and it ended up being a piece of shit, i've seen other people order some cool stuff though.

pxxx · 01-21-2005, 09:49 AM

Nope, I never did that.

DreamGirls · 01-21-2005, 09:50 AM

Infomercials rock.

More people should buy stuff from them.

Rinaldo · 01-21-2005, 09:51 AM

I bought the rottisiere grill and all his other products,
ROn is a genius... all his products rock

set it and forget it baby !!!

BTW first infomercial product I bought was his too the food dehydrator... I was 12

Screaming · 01-21-2005, 09:57 AM

All of it seems pretty useless if you ask me.

Karupted Charles · 01-21-2005, 10:01 AM

Ronco oven and it rocked.

Also those pasta pots that drain using the lid. Both were good products.

myjah · 01-21-2005, 10:03 AM

Bought a few things, including that little belt machine that "shocks" your abs. That little fucker burned right thru my skin in one place! But it was actually pretty fun because we would turn it up to high and wrap it around our arms and legs -it was nearly unbearable and absolutely hilarious! It was like something off Jackass, lol.

fris · 01-21-2005, 10:09 AM

proactiv and i am now zittttttttt freeeeeeeeeeee

TurboAngel · 01-21-2005, 10:12 AM

I got this hair thing off tv, it was to help you put your hair up but it didn't work worth a shit.

pxxx · 01-21-2005, 10:20 AM

I don't trust those things.

Froey Twe · 01-21-2005, 10:20 AM

yes i bought my cybersonic toothbrush and i love it ever since.

Froey Twe · 01-21-2005, 10:24 AM

Oh yeah and I got Micro touch and the Miracle Blade. Both are good products

nnweb · 01-21-2005, 10:28 AM

girls gone wild DVD if that counts.

Furious_Female · 01-22-2005, 02:34 PM
