Well?

Stiltzkin · 08-03-2003, 10:51 AM

Infomercials aren't my thing. Last time I even watched one was... oh so long ago.

Ralvek · 08-03-2003, 10:59 AM

No, but every time I see Billy Mays I want to clean!

jhericurl21 · 08-03-2003, 09:17 PM

not from the tele itself, but we bought oxiclean from a supermarket. didnt do shit

, my theory was, the longer the infomercial stayed on the air, the more usefull/helpful the product was, lol

That bowflex has caught my eye and i wouldnt mind buying that, but whats the total cost of the thing?

MrFlux · 08-03-2003, 09:24 PM

No, it's all bullshit.

Sticky · 08-07-2003, 05:52 AM

No I have not. But the other day I was watching the paint stripping infomercial for a whole half hour.

Mr. Spacemonkey · 08-07-2003, 09:54 AM

No never bought anything off an infomercial but maybe thats because i almost never watch them.

ghostF98 · 08-07-2003, 10:42 AM

No, thought about it, but no. Some are pretty cool, but you can find most of them in stores eventually.

Fremen · 08-08-2003, 07:18 PM

I bought a couple of things.
One was that exercise stick thing-a-mabob hawked by Randy Johnson, from the Diamondbacks. (hardly use it)

Another was the George Foreman Grill. (best....grill....evar!)

jhericurl21, I think the Bowflex is $1500.00, or thereabouts. (I'd like one, too.)

Esoteric · 08-08-2003, 07:41 PM

Aren't there usually knock-offs in stores anyway?

remiel · 08-09-2003, 06:07 AM

haven't yet, but next time I have the money I am SO getting a Miracle Blade set

kalashnikov · 08-09-2003, 10:52 PM

I never have, but two of my friends were watching some knife (pocket knife flip out things, not cooking knives) and bought a set of 6, and gave one to me. It is pretty cool, but duller than the average infomercial.
