Have you ever purchased an item after seeing it on an infomercial? (1 Viewer)

My wife and daughters are hooked on that Wen shampoo from an infomercial. That #### is ####### expensive, too. I don't think that I've ever even watched an infomercial without flipping the channel immediately.

This is disappointing, I really want to buy it. 

As did I

Wife, mother, and beauty pageant winner...wow, she hit all three of my keywords!

If only they were pregnant I could have finished in under a minute

I got a wok when I was in college. 

My wife gets Wen shampoo and Bare Minerals makeup and swears by both

There was an infomercial back in the late 80s (1988, if I remember) about The Great Wok of China that my dad purchased

That thing was great

A few things but i usually go to cvs or boscovs

My wife ordered a few things that turned out to be basically crap:. 

Pasta Express.  You boil water and then pour it into the pasta bong.  Sooooooooooo different than boiling water and then adding pasta.

And the Slap Chop was lame.  Sorta worked but flimsy and hard to clean.

The comfort click

just ordered a black and brown.

Oh really?

WTF?

Sticky nips!  Brilliant.

Nobody falls for those stupid commercials.  Well except for the pocket fisherman was a must.  OK, oxy clean was good.  And the George Forman grill.  Gotta have the slap chop.  But other than those, who would be that stupid.  

What about the stuff that turns your screen door into a boat?  Pretty sure that's how it worked.

I always wanted a boat!

I had to go to infomercial rehab a few years ago. I have flex seal, shark vacuum, shamwows for life, tater mitts, hanger cascader, pasta boat, slap chop, ginsu knives, and 3 snuggies just to name a few. 

I used to love my "Slap-chop" until it broke.

If 100 randomly chosen people in the audience like I feel like it must be a good product. When I see people looking at each other and nodding their approval it makes me feel good about the product.

Mid-90s I purchased Monster Ballads double CD set for $30.  Worth every penny because "Every bad boy has a soft side".

Plus it came with a bonus license plate cover with said motto!

I miss the ads for the breakfast blender/chopper that that one extended family enjoyed, even the guy with the Aussie accent.
