Hmmmm, I might buy one.
I do like the Magic Bullet too.
We used that Magic Putty stuff on a whole in the bowl of my mom's toilet and it worked well.
Shamwow towels. They work.
One of my dogs actually ate half of one and I figured it was going to be a trip to the vet. But nope, much to my relief, he just shit orange turds for a few days.

I found mine at target. It's great for making kiddie sized pieces of stuff :)
My sister's dog ate her Shticky, which she swears by. It's just a lint brush though.
Nothing.
Never.

I got an older version of this and really enjoyed it but then I lost it in the transition.

I have one of those . Highly recommend. Just keep the battery at full charge.
Got it in a shop in Victoria along with some larger items
Nope I don't think I've ever bought anything as seen on tv. I did get some sample sham wows though at the PNE a couple times. They're small so I use them to dust and they work ok.

A "friend" of mine bought a blow up doll, he said it was like doing a rubber raft from Canadian tire.
True story
Ahhh hahaha! ac_toofunny
Bought some Oxy Clean. Did what we wanted it too. Wife washed clothes with it for a while. Great for carpet stains. Billy Mays was the Oxy Clean guy and he is the one that died.
That Oxy Clean was some great stuff and like you said it was amazing for carpets.

you set the apple or pear so the stem is up and push it straight down, it removes the core and you get little slices. It would be great for lunches for your kids Fashy.
Great tool for the kitche
Here go look
TV shop things are rarely of any practical use and are only designed to feed the viewers compulsion to buy stuff.
That dicing thingy might be useful.
I have bought stuff I have seen in Nigellas kitchen.

Me too. Mine sucked too.
Just about everything I bought, because of a TV commercial, sucked.
I have to go over everything I own to find one that worked out well.
My store has a section for everything AS SEEN ON TV. I'll go check it out this weekend! Woohoo!

There is a chain of stores called AS SEEN ON TV in the malls here.
The Top Ten pieces of junk sold on TV.
Yep...the Flobee comes in at #6. Check out the Tiddy Bear.
Link?
Sorry...
Notice...ALL American.
Those fuckers are dumber than trees.
Look at this shit "As seen on TV" Oz style
https://www.globalshop.com.au/
AND it's a whole shopping network advertised on a FOX affiliate no less.
I thought Rupert Murdoch and his Fox crap didn't fly with the people down under. Well maybe Fox News isn't very big with you people (although it is broadcast on three of your major pay television providers) but you sure as shit seem to be buying garbage advertised on one of the Fox affiliates.
Let's take a look at this little gizmo (the U-touch). Apparently all you do is perform the Vulcan nerve pinch on a part of your body that is experiencing pain and the pain magically disappears.
Hey, if you were a real gentleman you would spend some of your pension dollars on that piece of shit and give it to your girlfriend for her birthday. Sorry RW, (I'm not making light of your medical issues) it's just that your boorish pet Aussie deserves this.
BTW: on an unrelated bit of info, apparently you morons down under need to be warned about dumb ways to die? See the video below from the Australian Metro. It seems that you Aussies are so BUTT FUCKING dumb that the railroad in Oz needed to produce a catchy public service announcement telling Aussies NOT TO WALK IN FRONT OF A MOVING TRAIN! ac_lmfao And you claim that Americans are dumb. ac_lmfao
Oh one more thing, do you have a big problem with people being eaten by grizzly bears in that fly bitten rat hole that you come from? Because I was just wondering why it would be in a video warning Aussies about dumb ways to die and that's just one puzzling example. Since grizzly bears are not native to OZ, what was the purpose of that? Do bears and other dangerous non-native animals routinely escape from your zoos or some shit like that? ac_huh ac_toofunny
I guess it would appear that the railroad thinks the average Aussie probably ISN'T any smarter than the average bear and they would probably be right. ac_toofunny ac_rollseyes
Wondering how the band they hired was able to get through that without laughing their asses off, well, unless they thought it was a good idea.... ac_umm
Good idea Renee. My genitals are killing me!

I guess we could assume that the video was intended for a more international audience but I'm pretty sure that it's original intent was directed toward Australians. I guess Aussies also dress up like moose and wander in the woods during hunting season as well. ac_toofunny One would think that would be more of a Canadian thing.
To be perfectly fair I have seen versions of this public service announcement performed by schools and such that are more Aussie-centric. They included such sage advice like don't pet with wild kangaroos, be careful of poisonous spiders, please bathe more than once a month and watch out for sharks while surfing.

Thanks, you hysterical, spherical waste of chemicals, for pointing out yet another MORONIC American ad, selling another buzzing sex aid to bored housewives. The Australian voice over does not take away from the fact that it is an AMERICAN product being sold on TVSN...an AMERICAN hawkers channel.
Dumbass.
Oh, and also thanks for highlighting a highly successful camapign to reduce deaths and injury on railways...using sarcasm and wit, two factors that Americans typically fail to grasp.
Nice self ownage there, toots.
Hey, if you're interested in that little buzzer, I believe they do a model that fits on a selfie stick. Might interest you.

Nice spin on the fact that Aussie morons routinely buy American made scam crap. Who is the dummy in this picture? Was that a wasted question.....are you too stupid to figure that out as well?
BTW, no matter what kind of happy face you put on the "Dumb Ways to Die" campaign, it's just an illustration that the average Aussie needs to be told that walking in front of a moving train is dangerous. That my slow witted clown loving friend is an indication that you people are a real special kind of stupid. ac_toofunny
I wonder why that is........
Maybe its your emigration policy designed to keep Australia insular and overly white that is fucking you people up. Maybe you should open your country to some new blood. You're entire nation is obviously running the risk of becoming rather inbred. The way I see it, in a decade or so, your gene pool will be reduced to an ankle deep puddle.
Honey, no matter how you slice and dice it, there is no Walmart in Australia.
We don't need guns to sleep at night. We don't let our Government jerk us off. There is no Fox News Channel in Australia (but we do own yours). We don't have blacks rioting in the streets. We don't have millions of illegals choking our cities, or signs in English and Spanish. We don't need to use semi's as ambulances due to chronic obesity. We don't say one thing, and do another. We respect other countries.
I'd be happy to compare your stupid with ours...any time.

You really believe all that bullshit that just dribbled out of what is left of your ossified brain? How can you write that shit and keep a straight face?
You don't let your gov jerk you off? ac_toofunny Oz has one of the most "nanny state" governments in the English speaking world. Your gov controls your level of personal responsibility at every turn and you know it.
You don't Fuck with other countries? I will remind you to get the fuck off our coat tails the next time the US decides on another nation building debacle.
You don't have an obesity problem? I suggest you check with your health ministry. Last I checked you guys were not far behind the US in percentage of obese adults. And the rate obesity was rapidly growing just like your collective asses.
As for illegals, well you guys are as racist as the US was in the 19th century. Plus you have no 3rd world nations on your borders with poor desparate people knocking on your back door 24/7. Judging by the way you still treat your aboriginal people you would probably just kill them them if you did.
As for Fox News, go back and read my previous posts in this thread. Acorrding to Wiki and 20th Century Fox (not the Doors song) you guys do get Fox News. It's broadcast on 3 of your major pay TV Networks. I find it hard to believe that Rupert Murdoch wouldn't' provide all his products to his home country.
Don't play holier than thou with me. Your country is not without major social problems stemming from your racist genocidal, white elitism. You guys need to be reminded that it wasn't all that long ago that your dust ball of a country was populated by the scum of British society.
I've said this before, do not point your wrinkled, crud, encrusted fingers at anyone unless your backyard is clean and you have no skeletons in your closet. I really don't know who the fuck you think you are.
Whilst you seem quite keen to sling your simian excrement at my country...a country, I point out, that I have never proclaimed to be perfect (far from it), you seem rather unwilling to confront the issues I raise about your decayed and decadent cesspool.
We do NOT have the obesity problem you have, for example. But, our obesity problem is based as much on American junk food hawkers as yours is. See, you export your shit to anyone with a dollar, giving no fuck for the consequences of your actions, so long as it makes a buck, or, in the case of war, advances "America's interests", whatever the fuck they are.
Our cable channels have Fox News. They also have CNN, Al Jazeera, BBC, RT, Sky News, National Geographic, Discovery Channel, and Japanese, Chinese, Greek, German and Croatian news channels. However, I do enjoy Fox News for the laugh. O'Reilly, Herr Hannity and the rest of right wing neo-fascist flunkies make a great comedy team, particularly when they call themselves "Fair and Balanced". See, we can see the irony. American's believe it to be true.
I readily admit our "nanny state" is pervasive. As a result, we don't have Madoff's sitting in gaol, or bankers going nuts on loans that cannot be repaid. Gun ownership is heavily controlled. Everyone has access to health care, and nobody starves to death. Consumers are heavily protected against shysters, especially those that try to con people a la American. You try to sell your bullshit crap here, you will get your ass kicked. You try to operate a "religion" that is merely a con to make some charlatan rich, and you will be called to account.
I further admit we are racist. However, I fail to see the problem. Would you advocate we should just let millions of illegals flow in, or accept more lunatics from Muslim nations? How about we let the Pakis in, like the UK, who now have their own culture under siege, and Sharia law just around the corner. No, thanks. You keep 'em. You can have the tired, homeless and poor...whilst your own citizens cannot see a doctor, sleep on the streets and cannot get a job. And then watch your crime rate in poor urban areas go through the roof. By the way, we don't execute our blacks. How about you?
Your country is fucked up, and you know it. Pointing at others crying "what about you" isn't going to distract from the fact that you are in a mess, your global stature shrinks daily, and your credibility is as solid as Jimmy Bakker's. You may have a lot of money, honey...but the rest of the world doesn't measure integrity by how many pieces of green paper you can clasp your fist around.
