We all know theres some sweet shit sometimes on those infomercials, but I'm curios if anyone has ever actually bought something off of them? I figured some of you guys on here have had to. What'd you get and how'd it turn out

My next door neighbor(who is weird as fuck) was out mowing his lawn one day and he randomly mentions that he bought one of those automatic nose hair trimmers. He said it worked so well that i could use it anytime.

We have actually bought a few Food Savers. This is AMAZING. Sooooo handy for keeping food fresh.

And we have a magic Bullet: so baller.

And the Miracle Blade 3 Perfection Series: again super awesome. Use them everyday.

I bet the shamwow guys made this thing as a joke to see how much they could sell from a SHAM. hence, SHAMwow.

shamwow is no where near as good as they say in da commercials.

i kid you not, when i saw the infomercial i was tripping balls. Like i was fucking pumped. I wanted to go spill some coke on my carpet and clean it up with this motherfucker then afterbang the shit out of it.

but sadly i was decieved by the commercial, to my ever so pleasent suprise a couple weeks ago my art teacher come's in with a shit load of shamwow ( !!!! ) because she figured it would really help out around the classroom, i was the first to "accidently" spill paint so i could use it. and it was good, but not nearly as good as the commercials. You can ring it out pretty wuick and turn it dry again but not anazingly fast. Its decent but not as good as it looks.

What i do want though is that magic bullet, honestly i watched that infomercial for like 10 seconds and was set on buying one, but THE MAN said no!! ( my mom)

I too have seriously thought about the shamwow, but mostly just to help further that guys career in advertising.

isnt the shamwow just one of those wet-dry shammy cloths you get to dry your car after you wax it? those things mildew like fuck, but if you let them dry out they turn into concrete basically

if billie mays could do his signature in caps lock, he totally would. than he would smash the keyboard with his face like this RTRTGGHHJJJUHYF and then wipe himself down with oxyclean, even though that makes no sense.

billy mays has got to be the greatest tv salesman of all time. in fact i wrote an essay about him last year; unfortunately, i lost it.

i have bought the magic bullet, but from the store, not off TV.

I like the guy who doesn't like vegetables.

"Vegetables, I HATE Vegetables!... wow, that is great!"
"Broccoli, I HATE Broccoli!... That is amazing, you can't even taste it"
