@@adamcharp Electric stoves actually do use a lot of energy. I get power alerts when I use the stove for more than an hour at a time in a day. It's an extra $1-3 a day. Considering I normally only use $2 a day on power, that's actually considerable percentage wise.
Of course, she DOES get a bowl dirty. She puts the salad in the serving bowl. Which obviously you have to do to serve it. So... she was referring to dirtying a SEPARTE bowl just to toss the salad in the dressing? Who would have done that in this scenario? Nobody. Everyone would have poured the lettuce into the serving bowl, put the dressing on, and tossed it in the serving bowl. No dirtying an extra bowl. I realize in restaurants they would toss in separate bowl, but at home? For a packaged Caesar salad? Come on.
Cathy: “Are you three hungry? Lemme cook you up a ribeye, grilled salmon and some meatloaf!” *turns to left* “And you three? Share this personal pizza and a can of soup.”
I love to imagine Cathy all alone in her kitchen with random bullshit kitchen gadgets dinging and beeping while she uses up her leftovers and makes sus cinnamon-roll abominations 'for the children' who must be like 50yo by now.
The nostalgia. I used to stay up late and fall asleep as I watch infomercials as a kid. Now I’m an adult falling asleep to the exact same informercials that RU-vid suggested. What a crazy life 😂
Imagine living in the alternate universe of informercials. The simplist tasks render you completey inept, you are in fear of danger using items millions of people already use multiple times a day, and you have mere minutes to complete anything outside of work. Plus, your interpersonal dialogue is dominated by your corporate overlords as you scramble drastically to unnaturally wedge product plugs into everyday conversation.
"We'll fix it in post" I'm sure was a very commonly used statement while filming those 😂 And any meat turns brown if painted with varnish, and we never see the other side of the hard cooked steak. But I love those infomercials
"After fitness marketer Gaia acquired the assets of the original marketer of the GT XPress 101 and the Xpress Redi, Set Go, they abandoned the product after its initial test produced lower sales that the predecessors." Sad to say this product is no more.
Lol at all the different colors of duct tape placed on random spots of the packaging to censor out the brand names. Gotta love low-budget infomercials 😉
Yeah... not to mention the earlier versions apparently all flaked off, as others have claimed and she even seems to admit to in the beginning of this video! People got that in their food. 😢
“Meals made with love!” Yeah because the hour I spent slaving over a hot stove for an hour making sure you’re chicken or steak is cooked all the way through don’t mean shit! Sign me up!
I just figured it: crap like this was ment for people who don't have a stove for some reason. But they never said it out loud so that idiots who have a stove would buy it anyway.
The thing about most of Cathy's gadgets is that they were only big enough for one serving yet she was always talking about "the whole family" and "my kids love...." So something takes four minutes. You have four kids. Junior at the end of the line is going to have to wait 16 minutes for his while the other three are chowing down, one by one.
I love at around 3:50 she says "I bought about $10 worth of groceries..." and the receipt pops up - it's about $10 now just for the chicken tendies! 🤦♀
naw...priced it out at my walmart and was surprised at just under $3 difference. that was 12 years ago so it is pretty good. Too bad you can't buy it because the cases melted and caused electrical shocks.
What restaurant serves boiled potatoes which magically turn into mashed potatoes, shitty frozen peas and carrots and some barely-battered chicken tenders and calls it expensive? How embarrassing.
Incredible! Did those chicken tenders @ 4:57 automatically flipped themselves? I'M SOLD! Wwwaaaiiittt a minute??? @ 5:32 those tenders are UNflipped for some reason then she flipped them, The hell?! 🤨
Well, I think that this informercial came out sometime in 2012 because I saw the Xpress Ready Set Go informercial in 2009. I wouldn’t call Cathy Mitchell Chunky. She looks great since she is cooking with minimal oil.
He's got himself wedged in there awfully close to her during the filming, fortunately we don't hear of any off camera accusations like "he took it out" like Elaines date did on Seinfeld.
@@tachyonpulse I had heard that "Juicy" Joe Fowler accompanied her to all of her infomercial studio shoots, just to make sure there were no "off camera shenanigans" going on.
