Ever buy anything from an infomercial?

• justincredible

  

  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.

  I think I bought some hair beading crap thing for my kid once. And maybe moon sand?

  Did you double your order at no additional cost (just pay separate processing and handling)?

  No. 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.

  Besides time life music, the Magic Bullet Blender makes a mean margarita! And I got the bonus mugs!

  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.
  
  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.

  how the fuck does that happen?

  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 lterally have no idea how the price went up. I declined everything they asked and when they read the total, i just said "ummm no" but then hung up cause we were about go to smoke.
• se-alum

  

  I've gotten drunk and been close to ordering before, mainly cooking stuff.
• Trueblue23

  

  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.

  Oh yeah. I had confirmed the purchase earlier. They siad a bunch of bullshit like "oh do oyu want to sign up for this, this, or this?" i said no no no, they read the total again, i went ummm no, hung up and smoked. The pillows arrived 2 weeks later.
