Ever tried an infomercial product?

<p>The newest consumer reports did a little review of the ped egg and said it worked pretty well! My daughter tried the fish eating dead skin thing in South Korea. She said it tickled a whole bunch.</p>

<p>I saw an ad recently for wraparound sunglasses that fit over your prescription glasses. I only need sunglasses on rare occasion, so for $19.95 I’m thinking about it. (And yes, I’d look like a dork with these things. But at this point in my life, I really don’t care. :))</p>

<p>We bought the set it and forget rotisserie in Linens and things. Worked o.k. but as you may have heard, some people thought they could leave the house, and the house burned down (allegedly.) Mine is collecting dust.</p>

<p>My H bought the Ron Popiel knife set. We use them every day. I’m sure the equivalent could be found in macy’s etc. </p>

<p>I really would rather see the thing before I buy it.</p>

<p>I bought a thing that was a spatula that turned into tongs…it broke after a week. My first and only “as seen on tv”. I was really interested in those bags that keep food fresh for a month…then I read reviews that said the food looked fresh but was rotten inside…yuk!</p>

<p>We had an “as-seen-on-TV” store in town for awhile. (It went out of business last year.) They seemed to have everything there, much of which I’d actually seen on infomercials. Almost all of it looked like junk.</p>

<p>When the kids were babies, they used to like to wake up at 5am even when they were sleeping through the night. I watched a lot of informacial back then. I have bought:

  1. a small washer/dry cleaner thingie (never worked).
  2. a machine to wear on your stomach to help you lose weight.
  3. a steamer to clean bathroom and kitchen counters - I burned myself with it.</p>

<p>After that, my husband started getting up with the girls.</p>

LOL! Did you plan it?</p>

<p>Are you talking about the edger thing-a-ma-bob? I got it, and love it! You have to develop a rhythm, but it does SO much better than me trying to cut into edges and trim pieces (especially baseboards).</p>
