I'm not talking buying something from an infomercial at the store. I'm sure at one point or another everyone has bought a Foreman grill at Walmart. I'm talking about actually calling or getting online and buying directly from the website after an infomercial aired. My wife was watching some channel this weekend and it seemed like every other commercial was shilling some crappy product.

Did you double your order at no additional cost (just pay separate processing and handling)?FatHobbit;1203157 wrote:I think I bought some hair beading crap thing for my kid once. And maybe moon sand?

There was no need to have two hair beaders. I do remember that my kid really really wanted that crap and then hardly ever played with it. I think the beader thing even pulled her hair, and the moon sand made a mess so I put it away.http://www.moonsand.com/

If you have bought something was there anything that actually worked or was worth it?

Nope. Bought my P90X & Insanity second hand. Waited until the pillow pets and wuggle pets hit the stores before the little one obtained those.

That was a classic informercial. So awfully bad....I couldn't look away.Sugartitz;1203205 wrote:Besides time life music, the Magic Bullet Blender makes a mean margarita! And I got the bonus mugs!
It's in the pantheon of infomercials along with Didi7, the food dehydrator and the hair-in-a-can spray from Ron Popeil.

And if I ever see a guy using one of these....it's grounds for instant man-card revoking.
Really?

My buddy wanted the kobisawa pillows or whatever they are. He was way too drunk to call them, so I did. It said 19.95 on the tv and after I got done ordering the total was like 500 bucks. I don't know if he ever saw the charged amount but he said the pillows were comfy.

Infomercials are marketed to the lower denominator of society, which are the poor and stupid. It wouldn't surprise me if some on here have purchased from the TV before.

I've gotten drunk and been close to ordering before, mainly cooking stuff.

Yes.
I bought a Pizzaz. It's basically a pizza trey that spins, and it has a heat source on the top and bottom for cooking frozen pizzas. Thing was def worth it, especially when you're drunk.
