I Must stop watching infomercials!

Those things are crazy addictive!

I know am in DESPERATE need of the ultimate chopper( emailed the link to mom to buy for my shower) and they have this awesome new hair straightening thing....maxi-glide..MUST have that..

my question( yes I'm a little slow) WHY if these things are so good do they show them only on TV..do they make more money?

I keep thinking if they were so good they would be in the stores( yet I STILL get suckered in!)

Re: I Must stop watching infomercials!

one of the divisions in my company sells the informercials to all the TV stations ... LOL, we have a ton of sample stuff in the office.

It's called Direct Marketing and for some of the products it's better to sell them that way ... but think about this ... the Ron Poipel Rotissere (Set it and Forget it) took off and now sells at Fortunoff's and other stores .... the Direct Marketing tactic worked for that product!

I have the Ultimate Chopper and its good but the bowl is pretty small. So, if you are looking for a food processor, I would look for something different. If you just want to make one portion of chicken salad or salsa then its a good thing.

Yes it is!! it really chops up stuff and its really nice and compact so it doesnt take up much counter space!!

I love informercials. I so want the Scungi steamer. I have visions of everything in my house being sanitized.

Jennifer Flavin Stallone, always sells me on the fact that if I buy that spray my pasty white freckly skin will turn into an even tan that lasts for days. The only thing that stops me from buying is the look on DH's face if iit would come in the mail lol

Re: I Must stop watching infomercials!

I got the chopper for my shower, I also was convinced to register for the Mandolin, that everyone in my house thought I was lazy for buying until I showed it to them.

Those infomercials get me all the time also. I bought the Microtouch trimmer, ProActiv, Food Chopper, I am sure there are others I just can't think of right now

I love the Ultimate Chopper...I got suckered into the blender attachment. At least I don't need a blender!
