Temptations Galore

| 28 Comments | No TrackBacks

Tonight after finishing dinner The Boy and I plopped down on the couch to watch some t.v. and relax (no new Office - boo).  After a few minutes an infomercial came on.  As I often am, I was totally impressed and ready to dial up and order.

This particular infomercial was for a product called Fix It!  Although you can't tell from the ultra generic name, it is meant to repair scratches on cars.  I have a nasty little scratch on my car that I would like to disappear.  "Repairs scratches like magic," the website boasts.  And, of course, on the infomercial magic is exactly what it looks like.  I always believe these things are as awesome as they appear on tv. 

I was terribly disappointed to find this site with reviews on this product: http://www.infomercialratings.com/product/fix_it_reviews.

Speaking of infomercials that have recently tempted me, let's talk about the ShamWow.  The Boy and I have been very closing to buying these while at Bed Bath and Beyond recently.  I actually just checked the same review website above and again, most of the reviews were really negative.  Even after reading them, I'd like to try these for myself to see.

Speaking of things I've been tempted to buy, I am also tempted to buy SIM City for WiiI played Sim City on my computer approximately a decade and a half ago (god i'm old) and absolutely loved it.  The Boy almost bought me this for Christmas but decided on another game instead due to the not-so-hot reviews he read.





Have you been dooped by an infomercial?  Tell me your stories of something (good or bad) that you bought after seeing an infomercial.

Have you played Sim City for Wii?  Is it any good?

I have never ever bought anything from an infomercial though I have been intrigued by the Grill Daddy Brush. What I want to know is: You know how they say "call in the next five minutes and we'll double whatever it is we're selling you for only the cost of shipping & handling"? How do they know if you called in the "next five minutes"??

Good question! That always bothers me when they say that. I just saw the shamwow one again earlier today and they said "if you call in the next 20 minutes... we can't do this all day!"
