The Clapper is from the 1980s, actually. That and the Chia Pet, because I remember watching those commercials when I was a little kid and I'm in my thirties.
I had to go back and listen again to be sure I heard what's I THOUGHT I had heard!! This must be an internet only commercial; I've never heard then say that on the tv commercials.
Oh god. You can't first show that disgusting ped egg thing scraping dead skin off an old lady's feet and then show that cheese sprinkled over pasta. Just... no.
+VaughnJogVlog Same. although my friend has it and it definitely does produce fluffier, more moist baked potatoes (and faster), it's not such a huge difference that you *need* to have it to make a microwave baked potato
+Berelore People like you are truly fascinating to observe. You insult, demonize, and attack liberals, Democrats, and probably other groups you haven't gotten around to targeting here yet, all for no rational reason. You talk about class warfare, and quite unsurprisingly, try to pin it on the left, despite the fact that there are people on the left and right in all classes. You project a lot. *Your* comments are the most divisive here, and you seem to be inviting "class warfare" with your rhetoric demonizing the other class. This is an interesting strategy since that class is by far the larger class, and at the end of the day, it is always votes that decide which way the country will head for the next two or four years. Voting, that's the thing where every person's vote has the same value, and most of them are not in the wealthy class. Remember, "the top 1%" is not just a nickname - they really do only represent 1%. A practical reality is that if you want a healthy, stable society, you can't achieve it by belittling and demonizing the working classes while seeing just how much of their income they're willing to see flow to the wealthiest individuals. And the data is indisputable: income and wealth have be flowing like a river to the top earners for the past 30 years. (For those who'd like to see an interesting interactive graph, google for "see how growth in average income was shared between the richest 10% and the other 90% of Americans." Google for these as well "Low-, middle-, and high-income growth, 1947-2009" and "Household income growth by income group, 1979-2005, pre- and post-tax.") Your hatred of various groups will not make them go away, and your behavior won't motivate anyone in them to change (it will just confirm to those on the other side that you folks are just mean and hateful). Just how much more of their income do think they'll tolerate losing to the extremely wealthy? Go ahead, advocate policies that have produced massive increases in income for the people at the top and minimal, if any for everyone else. Tell all the poor how much they disgust you and what vermin you think they are, while claiming "the left" promotes class warfare. If you had any sense and weren't blinded by so much ideologically-based hatred you'd realize that you have to keep the people at the bottom content if you don't want class warfare or, as history has shown, revolution. Oh, but not you, oh no, your rallying cry is "Ideology or death!" so racist
+james owen What comment are you replying to because this seems to have very little with my internet rule 74 joke? Elsewhere I attack everyone liberals, conservatives, democrat, republican, sexists, racists, or whatever equally. Say something stupid and I'll usually point it out like your economically ignorant drivel (another time). I don't hate anyone, but I've apparently said something to you that cut too close to a core value sending you into a stalkery rage post. So let me know where or what I posted, and I'll address your vitriol with some well reasoned argument.
My family usually wraps the potatoes in a paper towel before cooking them in the microwave. For my family I could see that product being useful and saving them some money in the long run.
I like wrapping the potatoes in aluminum foil before putting them in the microwave, because it cooks them to perfection, leaving the skin crunchy and the potato soft.
+Telly Vin-a I'm just saying. Anyway on the topic of advertising..... Buy my new whiskey and cigars only 50(0000).99 in what ever currency you have! ^(name incase you didn't get it)^

@Monica Pyle The point of a Snuggie is that it's extremely convenient to use while in a wheelchair. Ever try getting pants on while sitting down without moving your legs? Like with many products designed to help disabled people, it was marketed to the general public to avoid stigma ("Im not disabled enough to need one of *those*"), and because the wider sales increases profit for the seller even at a lower price point.
My boyfriend had one. It does as advertised and it never leaked on us, but the water can push to one side and it will warm up (and then get hot). He took a break from it and we forgot about it under our bed for awhile. We tossed it because we figured it had gotten moldy on the inside. You're better off investing in a memory foam pillow with a gel layer (he now has the Sealy Hydraluxe memory foam pillow and it's held up great through the last year).
My grandma sends my family as seen on tv stuff. we have a watermelon knife, lettuce knife, asparagus steamer, the mesh thing (it doesnt work), a lint vaccum for the the dryer, broccoli steamer.. you get the idea
I've had the magic mesh on my front door for 2yrs and it works great. It sticks to my metal door if I'm not careful but it keeps most of the bugs out and the cat in. Well worth the $15 I paid at Walmart.
Yea dude. My parents had one. It wasn't as good as the one we had before. And in the instructions it said "do not literally set it and forget it" also the top part is a fire hazard.
Sharon delacruz If you want to waste your life, I recommend cocaine, LSD, and a special drug that's not easily available named after a famous singer. I would say the name of it but if you don't know the name of it be that description you'd probably never find it in your neighborhood.
I received the Chillow as a gift, and it's terrible. It stays "cold" because its rubber. Who wants to lay their head on rubber?! It was very uncomfortable! And when I put it inside a pillow case, it lost it's effect.
I’ve had my Ronco Rotisserie for 20 years and it still works perfectly and makes a damn fine rotisserie chicken and wow, the perfect turkey every Thanksgiving!
I remember staying in several European Countries and most of the late night "Infomercials" were for Sex products and Escort Services. This was mostly in the UK, IT and NL though.
Katherine Canon I used my roomates ninja to make blender nacho cheese. It didnt work like the commercial at all, I made a huge mess and couldnt clean the cheese off the inside of the blender. He said his protein shakes tasted funny from then on.
Number one and two should've been Oxi Clean (literally revolutionized an industry) and the Magic Bullet. Though mainstream best sellers now, they both got their humble starts in the TV infomercial world.
So true and my mom told me that she originally bought the George Foreman grill from an infomercial as well. These should have been the top three products.
You think because something gets hit by radiation, it becomes radioactive? You do know the sun emits radiation, right? Have you become radioactive because you got a tan this summer? Just curious, because I'm in radiotherapy for cancer and I sure hope I don't start Hulking out soon! Wow, I mean, just wow... Do they still teach science in high school any longer?
I had the chillow pillow for almost 3 months and I would put in in the refrigerator every morning and it would be so soothing when I sleep. Until one night it had a hole and it wet my whole bed and I was freezing to death and had to sleep on the floor. Thanks
Every dish has its moment. Not everything tastes better when cooked slower. Steak, for example, has a sweet spot. Not that you'd cook steak in a microwave, but you get the idea. And for certain things, like a lot of water-based dishes and drinks that just need to be hot, it legitimately doesn't matter how its heated up.
Some people don't have the time/energy, busy work schedules.. demanding work schedules.. Oh and some people just can't cook... Think before commencement of a comment
@@inaaronshead7331 well if they dont have the energy ,time and cant cook go eat nuclear food and by the time your 50 you will be stricken with some shity disease oh a lot of shity diseases but you will have your nice car that you purchased with the demanding work ,lol .you think before you coment
Why not just microwave the potato on potato setting. I have a magic mesh it's actually pretty good. Mutty putty purple is just jb weld, been around forever. I also have magic mover, they are okay, but first you need to lift that couch. Ronco rotisserie is the fucking shit. I was given one for a wedding present. I literally use it twice a week and last used it 6 hours ago. I absolutely love it. I only have all these things because my mother in law is a QVC addict.
I laughed when they showed the pasta stuck in a clump. If you boil the water first that will never happen. I mean really people how hard is it to boil water and add noodles?!? I try to avoid the microwave and especially the thought of plastic in microwave where you cook your noodles in. Microwave safe or not after a few dozen uses don't tell me nothing is slowly leaching from the plastic...
Sam -_- is that actually true? Im half Italian and i never knew i use a pasta boat in Italy, will i get a death sentence if they catch me using it? I actually dont own it and im not living in Italy just out of curiosity
I can't believe Mighty Putty Purple got so popular. It's just epoxy putty died purple and it's been around since the 70's. You can buy it in any hardware section for like 2 dollars a tube.
Really!!?? Thank you. I'll be buying some tomorrow. I thought it looked so cool. Drat... I'm a customer that would have got duked. Ashamed!! lol. Seriously Thanks.
Sam Kingsway yeah no problem, it works great for practically anything you need sealed or repaired. Just ask for epoxy putty. it has two seperate sticks and you mix it together like playdoh and then mold it and it becomes hard as concrete. It's amazing stuff.
3:10 Baking a potato in the microwave without a Science Bag takes 5 minutes. It just preys on people's ignorance that you can make a baked potato in the microwave in 5 minutes. The same can be said for the pasta boat, but having a built in strainer is useful at least.
nexus1g Actually, the pasta boat really works in that you can pop it in the microwave, set it and forget it. No more waiting for the boil, making sure it doesn't overflow, stirring to unclump. The strainer is nice, and the container can be used to mix up your sauce and fixings. Plus in summer, it's one less thing adding heat to your already hot kitchen. Ahem, I guess I like it. :/
wait wait wait wait.......this is bullshit. Chillow is on the new WORST ideas for an as seen on tv product. why the hell does it suddenly go from best idea to worst idea randomly over the course of a year? did this product come out in 2016 and you just ASSUMED it would be good and then when realizing it was shit change your mind?
Chillow is awful.I believe it could go from best to worst.I got one and I would wake up with massive headaches.Also you put it in the fridge to chill the gel so it feels like a rock
These guys are asinine. They have numerous things on their best and worse videos. Either they're stupid and don't pay attention to their work or they get ad revenue from products and don't care about their integrity when it comes to what they claim
@@lonedragon3261 well why didnt you try flipping them over when the things that are supposed to grip on one side and slide on the other were sticking to the floor and sliding off the furniture lmao
+Jasoh123 I usually cut slits in some potatoes and nuke them too, but my friend has that thing, and it makes them a lot more tender & tasty. If you make microwave baked potatoes a lot its def worth buying one IMO.
+Jasoh123 My family just washes it off, leaves it wet, then wraps it in ceran-wrap before cooking it. Why you need a special pouch to wash and have to have a place for, when you already have plastic wrap I have no idea.
+Gabe Greenlee Agreed. Obvously Mojo has never tried these products at all. The screen door doesn't conveniently snap back together again like it shows on the commercials. It's extremely flimsy.
Yea, had one myself last summer. they're a joke. also you can't just walk through them like they showed, the magnets hold it together to strong and you almost and to physically pull them apart
I'm disabled and these are.some of the infomercial products I've gotten that make my life easier. The Genie bras are the only bras I wear. They're totally comfortable, have no hooks, wires, or plastic, have 4 way stretch, are supportive, and your bra size=your shirt size. I can't use an oven, so I went through 3 Redi Set Go personal cookers in 2 years. I used them daily and wore them out. I'm always cold but I have to drive my wheelchair around, so my mom got me the Snuggle. I have a couple now. And they're great for lounging around the house in, when I'm sick, or sleeping in.
if you want something a bit better then a snuggie, try a slanket. more expensive, but also better quality fabric. and there is a little envelope type thing near the bottom to stick your feet in!
Yaaasssss genie bra! Mine lasted 5 years but now I have no clue where to buy them except online I guess? I hate the just my size crap I have now with the fucking hooks. I have issues with bulging discs and stuff...and a bad shoulder, so it's hard to adjust things
I just bought the Genie Bras myself and damn, do I love them! The snuggle though for wheelchair, that sounds like a good idea. I may have to look into that for my own issues.
My shamwow didn't work as well as the one on tv so i think i got a forgery (was a gift someone picked up at a store) and my mom had one of those sticky buddies or at least something that looked just like it and it wasn't that sticky... hard time picking up stuff and it was a pain to clean off because after a minute or two of use caused it to stop sticking completely.
Romeo Casido tap light? Are you talking about the ones from the early to mid 90's that weren't very bright and the batteries never lasted in them even if the light was turned off?
The Sticky Buddy is terrible! Sure, it works great out of the box, but as soon as you wash it...you might as well throw it away. I’ll stick to my disposable lint rollers, thank you very much.
I found you really have to wash it well and then let it dry , I run it under a tap while rubbing my thumb over it as i am turning to remove particles I can't even see , then after it drys it is somewhat sticky still , Hope this helps
pianobooks42 once they reach certain sells they go into stores the ninja blender that makes the nutri bullet are all in stores and are common items now which is why they have these things start out as seen on tv products
least it ain't the old magic bullet, that shit broke instantly and ended up no longer being sold within a few weeks, only recently returned with no longer breaking design
What about the "Made for TV" CDs that were popular from the mid-90's to early 2000's, such as "Monster Ballads", "Goin' South" and "Totally 80's"? (all made by Razor & Tie) Those CDs were how I got introduced to a lot of classic bands and songs growing up, before iTunes and streaming services; in fact, I loved "Goin' South" so much when I got it for Christmas the year of its release, I wore both CDs out!
Razor and Tie also makes the Kidz Bop CDs. But given how music streaming services are the norm these days; I wouldn't be surprised if Razor and Tie decides to stop making the Kidz Bop CDs.
@@michaellovely6601 While I've grown out of the Kidz Bop phase (I was into it for a couple years when I was a little girl), I can really see your point; it's very possible. In fact, that's exactly why a lot of older CDs (including the first "Monster Ballads" edition from 1999) are so highly expensive on Amazon; you could listen to the whole album on RU-vid (or whatever streaming platform you prefer) whenever you wanted at any time.
+Thong Tran I personally don't like the grill because my ex's family used it to eat healthier but everything ended up tasting like chewy cardboard. I would rather have some fat in my tasty food and just work out a bit more. I'm sure they were using it wrong though.
It is meant to be a comfortable yet supportive bra. No under wires and uncomfortable parts. But it offers no support and makes larger breasts look all squishy and odd ...☺
Normally I wouldn't say anything good about anything, but those furniture sliders actually work amazingly well. When I saw them I thought they were a scam, but the work brilliantly.
Flex seal??? I had a serious problem with leaks in my garage from a heavy rain. I bought 2-3 spray cans of flex seal and sprayed damaged areas of shingles, and now no more leaking roof.
