Ok... time to come clean

[brainsmile]

I wanna know what you currently have stashed away in the deepest corners of your house that was purcheased as an impulse buy from an infomercial or something like the Home Shopping Network...

Don't be afraid/ashamed. :P

Has that item been used? Will you ever use it?

[RoniMan]

the miracle blade set II.

we use it, but we can't do the neat tricks chef tony shows.

[attgig]

dude man...how many topics are you gonna start?


as for me...it would be my pair of blue cordorouys that i bought from land's end cuz it was 7 bucks.

[brainsmile]

ha ha I can't help all these questions coming up at once!!!

I was watching some old infomercials...

Ronco: just set it and forget it rotisserie grill
Ronco: KLH bald spot remover (spray paint)

[tweeteresa]

ya.....brainsmile must be hella bored. he prolly holds the record for the most thread started in a period of 12 hours. :D

back on topic...nope never bought anything from hsn or infomercials. i splurge at the mall.

[revil]

I never buy from those rip off stores.

I purchased Memory Power one late night. I honestly don't know where I put it either(seriously). The last time I purchased something was that corner shelf thingy.

Brainsmile, time for you to come clean. Are you using all this info you are getting for a paper or something? :dodgy: ;)

[Merlin]

The Handystitch for me. Now if I could only track a straight line with the damn thing.

[OC]

Last thing I bought was a closet storage/hanging thing for my ties - very handy!

I don't think I've ever ordered anything from the TV. I see Oxyclean informercials once in a while, but I get that at Sam's.

When my grandma passed away a few years ago, her house was FILLED with "as seen on tv" crap. I swear, she fell for every commercial sales pitch. From hand-painted silver coins to Victor Borge commedy videos.

But all she did for the last 10 years of her life was watch tv. Probably the only non-family members she ever talked to were the operators who were always standing by...

I've used the ding king... that thing isn't too bad but not perfect.
Hmmm I'm sure I have others lying around.

I want the george foreman grill but never got it for that free offer for the postcard thingy... oh well

[whitak24]

has anyone used any of those "speed reading" or "super memory" programs?

if so, how do they work?

The "Carlton Sheets No Down Payment" thing. It sucked. It was all creative stuff that if you tried it on someone selling their house, they'd prolly think you're some kind of scam artist.

It only works in a MAJOR buyers market.

I did send it back for a refund though. What's funny is that when I called to send it back, the operator asked why I'm unhappy with it. I told her it sucks and doesn't apply to the market in my area. She replies by offering for me to keep it and only pay half price. I answered, Do you think that half price will make it work better in my area?

He he he.

I personally bought "The Chopper". It has been on Infomercials, but I got it at the California State Fair. They have whole areas dedicated for "Vendor Expositions" - you can experience your very own infomercial for a huge array of products.

As for "The Chopper", the damn thing works. Pretty fast and clean too.

[brainsmile]

oh yeah I have that too... and the flexible cutting board so after you cut it you can pour it into a pan/pot without losing any pieces

[Kim]

I have a knockoff chopper...I use it almost daily!

[le_stick]

A .40 Smith & Wesson model 410......I could not help it:D

[Jenny]

I bought the George Foreman grill and we use it constantly. :)

I never buy anything off an infomercial, I can usually wait the 6 months when it hits stores and pay alot less. I do this with things like the george foreman grill, just waited till the price got cheap enough at a store like target instead of having to pay the inflated price of the infomercial.

I'm not sure what you meant, but I went to one of these gun show
and that is where I got the .40 S&W
