    I own none of these except a Foreman grill. I got it for free and it's terfific.

      Seems like it's love or hate with the Sham-wows, and you have to follow some initial directions before it works properly.
      Yep! One thing is for sure. You get honest testimonials instead of the "paid" ones.

        My favorite informercial is for the magic ear or whatever it's called. Looks like a wireless blue tooth but is actually a cheap hearing aid. They always show some dude at a party eavesdropping on some nice looking ladies discussing how cute he is...reminds me of a scene from "Something about Mary"

        The only items we have ever purchased and they were both from stores are Oxyclean (I think it does actually work pretty well) and the George Foreman Grill. Personally, I think it is a pain in the butt to clean.

            That mean's it's GOT to be good

            If you don't agree, 50 days in the cooler !!!!!!!!!
            The German's are indeed noted for their excellent quality and their hard work ethics. Just check out a Mercedes Benz and you will see the quality of some of their work. I have a 1969 Benzo and it is solid as a rock and way advanced for it's time.

                  My wife and I have 2 Foreman grills, and my daughter wanted a Pancake Puff pan-soooooo.....we have one (the puffs come out really good, too!). I use Oxi Clean in the laundry, and I haven't had any problems w/it yet. All I can say is I'm really glad there's no infomercials for Girl Scout cookies.

                    I forgot I also have one of those pancake puff pans. They make fun pancakes, but they take too long. I got it for my kids, but we got it at Target, so I didn't have to pay shipping/handling.

                    I'm a sucker, all right!!

                        I don't buy any of that crap. My Mom, on the other hand, probably has every product ever advertised on TV!
