As seen on TV/infomercials

Have you ever purchased any infomercial products? Whether it be kitchen products, baby products, make up/skincare, hair care, gardening, cleaning, weight loss, music or any other product.

I'm not referring to shopping networks like QVC. I'm talking about things like those obnoxiously long WEN commercials or the late night kitchen appliance commercials. You know, they always threaten that you won't be able to buy it in stores but, it always end up in stores or online anyway lol. And it usually comes in "Just 3 payments of 39.99!"

What did you get?

Did it work? Does it still work?

Do you use it often? Etc.

  • We have that basket that you can easily fry things in or pick up pasta and boiled foods in. Rarely use it though because I always forget about it lol.

    We also have that ninja blender thingy. I love it and use it for foods and drinks. It works well and we've had it for a few years.

    I also use bare minerals almost every day. Best foundation I've ever used.

    I could watch the food infomercials all day long though so, I've been wanting to get that dump cake recipe book lol not the actual pan because I already own a bunt cake pan.

  • Have you checked amazon for a recipe book? I know my mom has a similar "dump" book to make all sorts of goodies!

    As seen on TV commercials are some of my favorite. I always enjoy the part towards the end of the commercial where they say "but wait there's more"! Then they tell you if you call in the next 10 minutes they will throw in another product that has nothing to do with the original product they're selling.

    There is a store at the local mall called As Seen on TV. Last year DH went there and got me a gift for my stocking. He got me this red sack that you put potatoes in. Pop it into the microwave for 5 minutes, and instant baked potato! It cooks the potato just fine, but definitely doesn't taste like an actual potato baked in the oven.

    Lol I've never actually baked a baked potato in the oven. I just wrap em in paper towel and stick em in the microwave.

  • Years ago there was an informercial for a pasta pot that had holes in the top so you could draing the pasta in the same pot without needing a separate strainer. I both that and used it several times, however the pot quality was sub-par and I went back to separate pot and stainer after a few months.

    I don't know how we ended up with one of these things but I love it! When I was pregnant I craved pasta salad with tons of veggies and used it all the time! It's the best!

  • We bought the BarkOff that transmits an ultrasonic sound when dogs bark.  It works for our little dog most of the time.  

    I used to love watching the Magic Bullet infomercial!  That corny acting was quite entertaining!

  • I, too, have the Ninja Blender. I made all of DS baby food and plan to do the same for DD. Plus, I make smoothies for myself.

  • I have the meatloaf pan that drains the fat through the grates. It's not the highest quality pan I own, but it's held up for multiple meatloaves and I really like the concept.

  • Oh! Scrub Daddy! That thing is awesome. My great grandma in law had one at her house and I couldn't figure out where I had seen it. I told her I thought they were cool and she goes and gets me one from this huge box- she had bought like 15 of them from QVC or something. Totally a Shark Tank win.
