What Does That Product Do? What? Really? No WAY! I Have to Have Three!



I wanted to take a minute to congratulate all of the people who are making a ridiculous amount of cash due to their corky inventions. Now, I guess when I say corky, I really mean inventions that are useful but that I would have never thought of. When I see these As Seen on TV commercials, I often think to myself, now why would I need that? Who needs a Marvel Inflatable Talking Chair, Thigh Glider, or Bedazzled Kit? I’m sorry if you paid for one of these by the way, HA. I always think about the random stuff that people come up with. It’s great! I like to think of the United States as innovative, and when we invent something as cool as the PedEgg, how can we not be deemed awesome!? (Sarcasm)

I often wonder how the people that invent and patent these ideas come up with the ideas. How do you think about something that shocks your belly so that you can get abs like the Contour Belt? Let me guess, one day a man or woman was just sitting on the couch, eating some food, watching tv or whatever, and bingo! Let’s make a belt that you can wear around your stomach that does the work for you! It’s comical if you think about it. How about another invention? I’m not sure if you guys have seen these, but I used to work in a Walgreens that always had half an isle full of As Seen on TV products, and I guess I’m not surprised that someone came up with the idea to make a divided baking pan for brownies. Apparently the dividers slide out after cooking to make perfect brownies, AWESOME! Now tell me that the person wasn’t high when they thought of that? Ha, I’m only kidding, but I’m sure we have all thought about these things and more, I’m just writing them down.

There are thousands of inventions that I wonder about each and every day. Like how the heck did I not think about this? Why can’t I think of something sweet that will make me a bunch of money? Seriously, I couldn’t think of a machine that dispenses movies? I can’t go further than a block without seeing a Redbox around; they are very convenient and I love them by the way, but just stating the obvious. Who doesn’t want a SlapChop or a MagicJack? If I had the chance, I know I’d buy two of these just so I would never be without one. Ha, who am I kidding, I want one of everything in the As Seen on TV isle, because apparently it is going to change my life for the better! I am surprised with the amount of money these companies and products make. I suppose they are relatively affordable for the most part, but I am still surprised that people buy things like the BumpIt or the Men’s Body Shaper; I think there is something for women that tightens everything up, but why should we deceive others? Don’t people know that the only way to truly lose weight and look better is to, might want to sit down for this one so you’re not so surprised, Gasp, diet and exercise! Ohhh, I used the d and e words!

I can say that I am a little jealous although I try not to be, and it is a sin! This is my little blog about these products that overflow your TV. I really haven’t figured out if the counter of the products left on the channel that sells all sorts of products, I think it is HSN, actually counts down the number that they are selling, but it is a pretty good business technique for sure. Before I forget, obviously I realize that these inventions take time to work the bugs out, evaluated, manufactured, distributed, and everything else. I’m just giving these inventors and innovators my props for being legit. What would I ever do without a Perfect Fit Button or a Topsy Turvy? Last but not least, a helpful site to check out before you buy, As Seen on TV Reviews. Happy Shopping!

  1. I often wonder that too. If I do happen to think of something it seems that about a month later I see it on TV. I don't buy their stuff and often find the commercials stupid, but like you said have to them credit. Good blog.
