Infomercials!




I was just talking to Amanda and she was telling me how she got sucked into an infomercial and ended up buying it. The GT Xpress 101 cooker. Buy 1, get 1 free. All for the low price of $69.96!

Which reminds me when I was going to Tech and I was up really late watching TV and an infomercial came on about the HyG Ionic toothbrush. I just had to have it... $80!!!! Which was a lot more then than it is now, plus back then there weren't many toothbrushes over $2. I still can't believe I got sucked in, well I can believe it, but still. At least I liked it. Holly still will mention my $80 toothbrush.

I frequently get sucked into infomercials and there are many things that I just have to have, but I've been able to talk myself out of it everytime.... so far.

I never heard of your $80 toothbrush... infomercials. I almost bought a turkey cooker one night when I had to pull a 24 hr shift in the army. We had a little tv there, and I was starving and they were showing how fast you can cook a turkey, or maybe it was a chicken, in it. I was pretty close to buying it, then I talked myself out of it, because no matter how fast it cooked the bird, I was not going to get to eat it that night.

LOL. I know. Plus, who cooks turkey for themselves when they are single? Or maybe you did?! I really liked the $80 toothbrush, I'm thinking of buying another one, since they are now down to 25 or so.
