I've never bought anything, but I did watch this infomercial for a device that gets the wrinkles out of ANY FABRIC!!!!

Yes. Ron Popeil is a genius, especially when you're less than ten years old and Saturday morning cartoons just started to suck horribly. We bought one of the older models of the Showtime Rotisserie. We used it once, though we had planned on using it more; now it serves more purpose toward my cousins, who do know how to cook using it.

I've watched countless infomercials, but I've never ever bought anything.. and I never will either. For some reason some of them are just neat to watch :bounce:

I love infomercials! It's so fast and nifty and everything sounds more incredible than it really is.

I watched infomercials every summer until 4am when I was a teenager. When you see Ron Popeil and go 'YAY' there's something wrong with you.

there was once an infomercial on at about 1:30-2 am about this thing that is a vaccum cleaner that operates itself. I didnt get to see it but my mom and big brother did. They said it fell over and then kept going in circles. Obviously, it wasn't supposed to happen because the people on the commercial were kind of freaking out..I can't help but laugh at those things.

I probably would have if I would have had a credit card when I was younger, more naîve, and watched infomercials.

Anytime there's an infomercial about weight loss pills and stuff like that, I'll be glued to it for an hour, and ready to call up. It drives me nuts!

I think we're talking about the same product and if we are, I was five seconds away from buying it!

I once watched one that sold... clothes pegs. Yes, normal everyday clothes pegs. 'A new inovative invention that can hold your clothes in just about every situation. And it can be used for other things too'
I just sat through the whole thing expecting to hear some kind of new feature in them, or an improved design, but nope, they were just standard basic, clothes pegs.

I've never been tempted before. They've never sold anything I've wanted, however

My dad's ex-girlfriend's brother called some number, hoping to buy a vacuum cleaner or something, and ended up buying all kinds of other useless crap, with a total of over $500.

I'd buy anything from this man. And yes, I have a tub of Oxyclean in the bathroom as I type this.

When I was a little kid, my mum bought me something called "Morphun Blocks".

I still have it today and if she's ever ready to throw it out, I'm ready to throw a fit.
