(Originally posted by TracySam) Stickup Bulbs: Battery powered light bulbs that you can mount anywhere. Mounted it in a closet that has no electric light. Light still works, but kept falling off the wall (adhesive not strong enough). So mounted it with Mighty Putty (see above) and it fell after a month. Now it's basically a hand-held flashlight for a dim closet.

I have these also and after almost 2 years they have not fallen off the wall and are still working. Just recently started getting dim so I need to change the batteries.
My son just got some ShamWow towels and he tried soaking up bowls of water and stuff. They seem to work pretty well so far. I'll try them on the car next time it's warm enough to wash it.

I got a mandoline (called a vidalia slicer or some such nonsense -- like you can't slice anything else with it??) with Billy Mays' picture on it for Christmas. I'm betting it will either a) get used once or twice and wind up in a garage sale this summer; or 2) break with the second using.

The ones that do work are the kind you roll up to push the air out, and then seal. I have some linens that I wrapped up in the bags five years ago, and they're still sealed.

Hardee's (aka Carls Jr) used to sell some of those small burgers, and they called them "slammers". I could put away about six of them.

A grease free fryer for the stove top. Here's an old one but can still be found in many second hand stores. It was intended as a stove top grill and the fat from cooking was to flow down the slanted side to louvers and drip into waiting water below. No, this thing did not work but the top grill part fits perfectly into a stoneware 10 inch pan of mine which I now use for baking and broiling. It makes perfect fish and the pan is just the right size roasting pan for my meals for two.

I have the Shamwow towels, I bought them in one of the local malls. They work pretty good. They smell REALLY bad when you first get them but after I rinsed them out they are great. I mostly use them for the dogs.

I've always wondered about the Magic Bullet.

I bought the magic bullet only cuz I found it on sale about a month ago at Walgreens for $15. It works pretty good, even though when I tried chopping onion in it and it just turned to mush. I use it mostly for smoothies, perfect size for one person at a time and DH and myself like different fruits. I also use it for grinding coffee beans, spices, oats, breadcrumbs. etc..i have no complaints about it.

No. These are round, about the size of a canned biscuit.

They are small sized buns, they were named after a silver dollar. This is a dollar bun party tray. You probably can't tell the size by this picture, so think White Castle size, but round and tastes more like a dinner roll.
