As Seen On T.V. Products

First go here and pick a product you regret buying or maybe it really worked:
AsSeenOnTV.com - The Official Site for As Seen On TV - Best Prices! - Order Now! 866-277-3366

Then come back and tell us all about it. Give your product a pass or fail. I am sure you people in the U.K. and elsewhere must have some goofy..as seen on T.V. products to tell us about too.

My product is the "Flipping omelette pan", and yes that's the name. But I would change some letter to discribe it...the omlette sticks or seeps into the folds making that horrid burned egg smell. Some times it works until time to flip, then it kind of cascades into a messy lumpy puddle in the middle of the pan. Heck, I can do that just fine on my own! Fail!

I don't remember what they were called, but those things you put on your closet rod to let you hang more clothes down in a row, about 5 items at a time? Great way to overload your closet and break the rod.

Technically I suppose they worked, but the closet rod isn't strong enough to support the weight, so what's the point?

No need to change any letters in British English - in my youth, before I had ever heard anyone say the other F word, we used "flipping".

I've just bought a Brenda Dygraf "Air Climber Stepper"

but one handle was broken on arrival, weeks later I'm still waiting for the promised replacement

Well, MaryKay, I've got to make a start at de-hermitising myself, I'm intending to practise walking indoors

I was just at Pigeon Forge TN last weekend where they have brick and mortar stores. I could've spent hours wondering around. I bought myself a new knife set for $9.99. (Originally sold for $99.99! ...Yeah right.) But it's a really good set.

I bought a few other things but haven't had a chance to test them out yet. I got Mighty Putty (SUpposed to fix anything!), Pro Caulk, the cool tool that makes caulking easy. Point 'n Paint, cause I have some painting to do, and Drain Buster plunger.

I'll give you a review after I've tried them if you want.

Nitewriter, yes please do! With all the hype and stuff..you just have to have them! But when they get here..BLAH! Walgreens Drug store and Winn Dixie supermarket both have an AS seen on T.V. section..it's always a fun place to stop.
Scylla, well that's a STEP in the right direction..lol Next you will be jogging in place! I am proud of you.

British English? Does that make our language American English..isn't your language..English English? Since it was first..just English? Now I am confused.

Bigeyes, The Hanger cascader? You point was very good, they should warn a person..this may exceed your rods ability to stay horizonal.

I meant to also add that they were selling e-cigs ($99.99) and pre-filled carts ($19.99 for 5) under the counter. I don't remember the brand name.

Interesting that you started this thread.

One of the items on my todo list is to search, find the best price and order 'the glass wizard', - As Seen On TV!

My daughter has one and swears by it. She has 3 sets of large sliding glass doors and is constantly cleaning them. The little angels open the doors by holding their little hands on the glass and pushing sideways. Aren't kids great??? Anyway, I saw her use it while I was there and
guess what - NO FREAKIN STREAKS!!!!! I am getting me one.

Yes, MK - we are "two countries separated by a common language" they say

A gadget I forgot to mention, and how could I? It's been a hero - it's a sorta vacuum plunger from QVC that unblocks sinks, and it really does. I live in an upstairs flat (an apartment, see what I mean?), and I used to live in dread of blocking up the drains. When you turn on the tap (fawcett, see what I mean?) after using the plunger the water disappears down the plug'ole reassuringly fast

My brother left a plate caked in bacon fat (grease, see what I mean?) in the sink the other day. It was so bad I thought it was egg-white

so I rinsed it, then I realised

I've given the sink a good flush thru but I know I've got my trusty plunger if the worst comes to the worst.

Oh! And talking of the worst: why do Americans say "I could care less"? English English is "I couldn't care less", which makes sense. And why did Rhett Butler say "I don't give a damn!" when it should be "I don't give a damn!" (I bet the censor had a hand in it.)

I wonder if we could have a thread on the topic, there must be many more UK/US English differences. I'm sure y'all can quote me many nonsensical British English sayings.

Try being a British English speaker here in the USA -

Married to an american, we often argue about pronounciations!

I tell him he is wrong and he has the NERVE to argue with me!
