But wait, that's not all.....Okay, we have all seen the ads. I thought we should have a thread where all of us who fell for them and tried we can share our experiences.

My sister got me the space bags and I thought they were worthless. When I got all the air out and it was nice and compacted after an hour or so they were back to being inflated, this happened to all of the bags some just took longer.

I was wondering about the weeding tool that fits onto a drill, that would be a back saver if it works.

I have Space Bags and haven't had any problems with re-inflation. I love them! The only thing I don't like is that they don't actually go flat like they do on TV, but still the shrink down to really small.

I did buy that stupid canister thing that you cook hot dogs and spaghetti in. Big fat waste of money!

About 10 years back I bought 2 of the perfect pancake pan flipper thingy. Waste of money. I have the tweezee, it works o.k. I have the ped egg. If you slough off to much you end up hurting for a couple days. Does anyone find Billy Mays screaming voice gets on their nerves? Man I am grateful I'm not related to that guy. Oh also tried Kaboom, very caustic fumes in my small bathroom. Left my throat nose and eyes stinging just after a minute or 2.

In most cases if it sounds too good to be true, it probably isn't.
sr, in the case of Billy Mays and a few others, that's where I find the where mute button on the remote works best.
And all the late night movies now have been replaced by those aggravating infomercials.

Something fierce! Seriously! And why is it, when one of his commercials comes on, the volume is ten times louder than I had it set at! Give it a rest already!

I've bought the Kaboom thing that you drop in the toilet tank (we have hard water) and it works like a dream. Now if only my grocery store would start selling the refill cartridges

I'm more sucked in by the infomercials than I am guilty of buying the actual product. I've wanted a Magic Bullet (the kitchen kind! ) but I've managed to save my sanity and not get one. But all the things you can make with it looks yummy!

But I swear, if I hear Billy screaming at me about the power of mighty putty one more time, I might not be responsible for my actions! I'm just sayin'!

Let's see if it gets put on his mouth if "REALLY" works.

Billy Mays drives me insane, but so does that damn ShamWow guy. What is he supposed to be with that flippin' headset on by the way? Looks like a demented pit boss for NASCAR.

Maybe that Shamwow guy can stuff some shams in Billy's mouth?

My wife bought one of those purses that are small but hold all kinds of stuff, it's true it does hold a bunch of junk but the flap doesn't hook on anything so if it leans over her junk falls out, she hates it.
