There is an infomercial on a vacuum packing kitchen appliance.

Gotta have it!
 
Thank God I'm not the only one who loves some of those infomercials on TV!! Mine are the Kitchen gadgets. :rolleyes:
 
ooh I know that one!!! I like it.

That and the Popeil Pasta maker! Grandma forgive me!!!
 
This gadget is cool. You can store shit leftovers safely for a year.

Not only that- you can do clothes and paper.

I wonder if I could cut off one of my toes, vacuum pack it, and then when I am an old man I can say: Look, this is my toe as it was so many years ago.
 
Whatever you do, don't buy that pancake turner thing that I've seen on TV. Cheap piece of crap. Oh, and it takes twice as long to make pancakes because the other side is cold when you flip it. You have to wait for that side of the pan to heat up. Don't know why that didn't occur to me before I bought it. Suckered in by the advertising, I guess.

That made me laugh out loud.....

Hi..My Name is WhatsHerName and I am an infomercial junkie. Thank goodness I don't have the money to buy everything that I want. But that vacuum sealer....oh I want.
 
gadget I want

I want the the apple peeler/corer/slicer/dicer and the spatula that doesn't turn orange when you use it in tomato sauce. Anything by George Foreman! :D

I've got one.. You can have it.. It's not as easy to use as they portray (big surprise there!).

To much TV at 4am convinces people to buy the weirdest things.
 
I like some of those infocomerricals as well :D

The thing I want is that " TurboRoller" or whatever its called , the hair brush that rotates and its takes like no time to straighten your hair !


Yes, I am a loser ! :) :p
 
I'm never buying anything off of the TV again!

I bought this (what looked like a GREAT) heavy-dute, 10 speed, combination blender, juicer, food processor. It came in a box that had been opened before and taped back up. The instructions were a on one page copy of the original. None of the parts matched the instructions. I must have spent an hour trying to assemble the juicer ... things that were suppose to "click" into place didn't. I start it up, and the whole thing wobbled around ... orange pulp flying in all directions (pulp plastered walls are not a fun thing to clean up). I gave up, and put it away until another day when I had more patience.

A couple of months later, I tried to make a smoothie with the blender attachment. Both the carafe and the lid had mechanisms that had to be FORCED (and I mean really forced) into place before the motor would start. I dropped in one ice cube ... two ... three ... and then the motor sounded like it was overburdened, burning wire smells, smoke ... I turned it off, let it cool down a day ... still deader than a doornail ... KAPUT!

Sooooo ... when I call the TV network, they tell me "too bad for you! we only have a 30 day guarantee! you're screwed out of $100! SUCKER!" (or something to that effect) ... they tell me to call the manufacturer instead, who has an automated telephone system - unfortunately, they never respond to messages left.

Long story short ... my credit card company reversed the transactions.

The Cuisinart blender (at a third of the price) works wonderfully!
