Let's talk As Seen On TV
Anyone ever see the commercials for "HEAD ON". It goes, "HEAD ON. Apply directly to the head. HEAD ON."
It's a rub on chapstick kind of thing that you rub on your head when you have a headache. I forgot I had it, I saw it in the cabinet, got a little over-zealous with it and rubbed it all over my face because I'm in serious pain. Well now it's like icy-hot all over my face and it kind of stings. It's making my eyes water. Lesson learned. It's only supposed to go on your forehead/temples I guess.
I love ASOTV stuff. Vidalia Chop Wizard, Eurosealer, Ab Roller, Brown & Crisp bags, Ped Egg, etc.
What have you bought from TV?
Re: Let's talk As Seen On TV
I'm sorry you have a headache but I can't stop giggling about image I have of you with a Chapstick tube rubbing it on your head.
I have a magic bullet (that sucks), a shark steam mop (just okay), and my dad bought me one of those magic stirrer things that you put in a sauce pan and it just stirs it for you, hands free. I don't make much sauce an haven't used it yet.
"Once I got a bath bomb that, once exploded, filled the tub with confetti. Little sharp metallic pieces of confetti. The product description said nothing about confetti. Oh look, there's a tiny, sharp metallic blue star stabbing me in the labia. HOW RELAXING. " - NoisyPenguin
We have a magic bullet (not the vibrator) that got used more frequently when the kids were on baby food, but we still use it fairly often.
For years and years and years I have wanted a Ronco Electric Food Dehydrator. I would dehydrate the crap out of everything in the kitchen.
Oh and I had an ab roller and one of those George foreman type things that you can make everything (including cakes) in that my SIL bought/got one free.
Kay, I loved info-mercials too. The one that keeps coming to mind lately was the one for some painting thing that you sucked paint into a tube and didn't use a paint pain. All I keep thinking about this week is the free gift that came wih it, which scraped paint off of the roller. I could really use that right now.

I love that you rubbed HEAD ON all over your face. OMG.
I've never bought anything from TC. I loved infomercials too. Old skool ones like the sandwich maker.
Don't think my face isn't still burning and my headache isn't just as bad. I took half a perc too and none of the pain is going away- not the sting face or the headache.
But I do love me some good As Seen On TV. The Eurosealer sucked but I use the Chop Wizard every time I make a brisket (the onions).
Head On is dangerous.
For the amount of times I cook, it works fine. There used to be a whole ASOTV store in the Palisades Mall but I think it's gone now. CVS has a section next to the magazines that I always check out. I ripped the shiit out of my feet with the Ped Egg. See the pattern...
I always wanted to try that paint on leather stuff. Like if you ripped your leather car seat or chair, you paint it on and like magic the rip is gone.
My mom got me a magic bullet blender when I got married. I effing love that thing. I want another one when I have a kid, with all of the wee baby food sized containers.
I have an Ahhh Bra that I grabbed in line at Wal-mart one day because the bra I was wearing was horrible and I saw it while I was waiting to check out and suddenly became desperate. It's not good. It's comfy, but that's because it's the equivalent of a little lycra training bra. No support, no nip control, NOTHIN.
I've got a ginormous 3-tiered steamer that my MIL bought for us a long time ago. I use it all the time.
I've also got the newest Shark Steam Mop. I have a love/hate relationship with it. It works well but I keep thinking it's going to be some magical cleaning device like it is on tv. Then I feel let down when everything isn't perfect & shiny.
There was also some hot-air-curling-iron thing from the 90's that I had forever. It sucked and was a huge waste.

I hate love and marriage. I got married so I could destroy these things from the inside. - NoisyPenguin

I love infomercials. Magic Bullet is the best with that rando Australian guy and the young woman dressed as an old lady. Classic!
I loved the paint stick thing! I wonder if they still sell those...

It does exist! And the scraper is still included!

Sorry no clicky.

My mom got tricked by this one and said once you have that much paint in the handle it got really heavy. Wasn't too bad when you first started but by the end it was really hard to hold.

LOL! My sister and I watched that one too. It would take off LAYERS of paint! LAYERS!

My mom bought me all sorts of ASOT crap in college, probably at the ASOT store at the Palisades Mall, since she'd pass right through there on her way to my school. Mostly kitchen stuff. I had that Pasta Pot thing that had the locking lid that you could drain the water with without using a colander. I used the hell out of that thing.
And don't think I didn't use those Magic Mover thingies about every other week to rearrange my room.
Husbands should be like Kleenex: Soft, strong, and disposable.
Yes! I always get blank stares when I ask about this.
I crack up at the HEAD ON commercials. My old ab-roller just got sent to GoodWill last month. It still had the ASOTV packing slip attached to the box. Although I did use it a few times when I got it in HS or college.
My grandpa was good for giving infomercial gifts at Christmas. Our stocking always had a Space Pen or something along those lines.
Does Nads hair remover count as infomercial fare? Because I got that stuff. I also had that belt thing that was supposed to zap your muscles. It zapped the everlovingshiit out of my skin. I think I got some sort of settlement or something from that, but I don't recall. I really wanted the Perfect Paint (I think that's what it's called).
But the one commercial I watched a million times...like every time it was on...was the TurboCooker. I probably watched it for a year or so before a friend got it for me as a gift. I don't think I even used it once (I didn't cook much at all at the time). I bet it was awesome though.
