Have you ever purchased something from an infomercial?
 
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.

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

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

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.

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

brand0n 01-21-2005 09:00 AM

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 .. :helpme

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.

:thumbsup

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

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

Furious_Female 01-22-2005 02:34 PM
