I bought that carlton sheets thing like 11 yrs ago...lol....still pretty much unopened...

This was really my Mom's thing. She used to just watch HSC and stuff. Not necessarily late at night though. I know she gave us the Smart Spin. I sorta like it. I just don't like cleaning them by hand because things get stuck in the corners of the containers. I don't have a dishwasher.

Hey that's one I almost bought! 

I have to admit I bought this one.  I waited til it came to Walgreens, and you got two of em' for $9.99.  It worked surprisingly well.  You just put the egg in one side and then nuked it with it closed.

The eggs never burned, just like they promised, but they also didn't get done as quickly as they said and I was never totally comfortable that it had cooked thoroughly enough because it seemed like parts would be runny until I pretty much over-cooked it.

Still, all in all, this is one of the few AS SEEN ON TV products that I really liked.

I remember seeing the commercials for that one and thinking it looked so cool.

How do you think they manage to get the stuff to work so well on the air?

The foremen grill had a 30 minute infomercial for awhile and they'd always show the guy putting cheese on the burgers and then closing the grill.

He'd let it sit for a few minutes and when he opened it the cheese had perfectly melted on the burgers, dripping nicely down the sides, they looked perfect.

I've tried that a dozen times it's always a disaster!  Usually the cheese sticks to the top grill and when I open it the burgers are stuck to the top,then the either slowly drop with strings of cheese hanging or they plunge directly down and either splatter grease everywhere or fall on the floor

I've tried using PAM on the top grill, and that works to a degree, you can shut it for a few seconds and open it, the cheese doesn't stick.  But anything over about 10 seconds and the cheese all drains off and starts sticking to everything.

SO HOW DO THEY DO IT ON TV?!?

lol, there is something wrong with microwaved bacon! I grew up on it. My step-dad insists on it. Just grab a pan man!!


oh but I guess I should tell you that I don't like my bacon well done. I like mine wiggly- so they tell me.

They sell a personal sized claw machine on the site!

WHY THE HELL WOULD I WANT THAT FRUSTRATION IN MY OWN HOME!?!?

I bet it would be ten minutes before I tore the top off and just grabbed what I wanted!

OH MAN!

I forgot all about the exercise stuff.  My mom had the ab thingy, she also bought the thigh-master, and the spinning disc

When I buy this stuff, it's usually from the store.

My mom got the bacon wave, because she insists on microwaving bacon. That thing got so nasty. The plastic bubbled from the grease, and my mom insisted on washing it and using it again.

I got the molecular hair setter in the 80's. That actually worked pretty well at putting my hair in all curls, but it actually got it too curly, if that makes any sense. (I'd take the curler out and my hair would still be in the exact shape of the curler!) I'd still get it out and use it every so often. I got it out a month ago for the wedding, but all the foam from the curlers were disintegrating. So I threw the curlers away but kept the steamer part.

I also tried a couple of the hair removal things, the spray on stuff and Nads. I still prefer shaving or waxing. The spray on stuff worked, but I had to sit with it on for forever, and then I used almost the whole bottle. Nads sucks. It's messy and gloopy and just pulls at the hairs, not out.

But, I do use Bare Minerals and love them!

I've always kind of though of QVC as a "step above" the 3:00am infomercial stuff, but I still at the sales pitches.

No, where did I leave my credit card?

Oh we bought the Miracle Blades II
They work real nice. SO nice it caused me to have to take my husband to the ER!

Seriously they are nice except for the fillet nice which is kinda worthless.

Fess up guys: how many have bought Girls Gone Wild!


But seriously around here at night on cable channels like Comedy Central and Spike they have commercials that are like informercials and show WAY too much for my liking!

lol, my husband always jokes about that one! "Honey you gonna buy that for me?"
I'm pretty lenient about that stuff though. It doesn't usually bother me. But then he doesn't abuse my kindness either.
