My mother actually purchased a Flow-Be. Then she was too embarrassed to admit to my dad that she got one, and mailed it to me. I gave it to a neighbor as a gag
gift. I think it may have caused his male pattern baldness.

I remember when I was young and watching tv with my mom late at night, she'd had a few glasses of wine in her.� An infomercial for a mop similar to those
cloths in the first post came on, and my mom made me order it for her (being too tipsy to do it herself).� When it came a few weeks later, she had totally
forgotten about ordering it.� It was a total piece of crap that fell apart about a week after it came.� Good times with drunken mommy.
My favorite infomercials are always the ones with the overtly dramatic montages with them.� Note in the following how well the blonde lady executes the "My car is way too hot" look, and masters the "Ouch! My steering wheel is burning".� But I love the added and classic "Egg frying on dashboard" that they throw in there. � THANK YOU AUTO COOL!! |

^^^ ITA about the "overly dramatic montages". They'll do a little B&W "flashback" of people having a really, REALLY hard time
cracking eggs, scrambling them, and frying them in a pan. Or they just cannot for the life of them remember what they were supposed to buy at the market or
where they parked! And it is soooo hard to water your plants without an Aquaglobe. You're either overwatering *cry* or underwatering *gasp*.
Love this stuff. |

i feel so sorry for those that missed the golden years of infomercials....
no ginsu knives, no pocket fishermen, no art instruction schools... everything today is a real estate scam or a "minerals" makeup thing, or a diet pill or workout device... so sad... an entire generation that will never know true crap peddled in a full length infomercial.... |

That Art School infomercial actually still runs to this day. I actually sent in one of those test things...and they actually send it back to you with
handwritten criticism.
But have you guys seen this... �

And don't forget the one that shows a former Amazing Race team extending their 15 minutes...

Since that last one was a recording off someone's home TV, you can hear the small sigh of disgust when the ped egg contents are dumped in the trash!
Love the kinoki foot pads.� Why don't we all have stained sheets at the bottoms of our beds if we're leaking toxins out our feet all night? � |

this is why i started this thread.
are you people watching these amazing videos? its not your fault? if you are fat, whatever... you too can be rich. there are cures they don't want you to know about. and secrets about credit. imagine if you could possess a "pedegg" AND "kinoki foot pads" plus the "bare natural" secrets for you feet alone? amazing... y'all that go to bed early are missing out on the greatest offers ever imagined. if you can draw a turtle in a pirate hat... you could be a successful artist! if you have "zero" down, you can own property... if you have a credit card, you can make your own pasta... if you are not watching this? you are a fucking loser... |

Oh my god, there's a fucking magic bullet TO GO infomercial with the SAME cast of characters. It's like episode 2 of a long awaited reality show.
ETA: oh shit that dumb blonde bitch who sat at the table must have divorced her husband that she got "so many complicated wedding gifts" with.
