whole collection of fun with gia teddy
bears puppies kittens Rams wool purple
bunnies and a chia tree to keep your
face covered for this list we’re looking
at those products that graced our TV
screens and managed to peak our
curiosity
while the infomercials themselves may
have been a little bit on the corny side
the products themselves either became
commercially successful or a notable
part of pop culture either way they’re
worth a mention the Snuggie keeps you
totally warm and gives you the freedom
to use your hands so now you can work
the remote or read a book in total

number 10 by master like I’ve been
saying some people are born with great
legs but the rest of us have to work at
it
thank goodness they’re Skymaster even if
you weren’t in need of an inner thigh
workout this classic 90s infomercial
itself was pretty interesting spread
eagles and spandex aside Suzanne Somers
may have played a ditzy blonde on TV but
she was a shrewd businesswoman in
reality
remember we may not have been born with
great legs but now we can
she saw an opening in the market so to
speak and decided to help creator Joshua
Reynolds fill the hip adductors specific
exercise void and thus she bestowed upon
the world a highly successful and
surprisingly versatile piece of exercise
equipment to squeeze weed your way to
shapely hips and thighs I thought I’d
never fit into these jeans again thank
you time Astor number nine
ShamWow hi it’s Vince with ShamWow
you’ll be saying WOW every time you use
this towel it’s a dude speaking
enthusiastically into the headset mic in
the wee hours of the morning didn’t
capture your attention certainly the
efficiency of this cleaning tool should
have I can’t live without it I just love
it oh my gosh I mean by paper towels
anymore you’re gonna wash your cars or
any kind of vehicle you’d be out of your
mind not the only one all I can say Sam
Wow you could basically clean up a
two-liter bottle of soda and then towel
your boat off and still be able to soak
up some more or something like that
doesn’t rip doesn’t make a mess bring it
out you wash it in the washing machine
maybe Germany you know the Germans
always make good stuff but it actually
does hold ten times its weight in liquid
they know they’ve done tests either way
it looks like a good way to conserve
those expensive paper towel funds you’re
gonna spend $20.00 every month on paper
towels anyway you’re throwing your money
away number eight
Ginsu knives the Ginsu can cut a slice
of bread so thin you can almost see
through it the Ginsu is so sharp it can
cut through a tin can and still slice a
tomato like this it can chop wood and
still remain razor sharp if you ever
needed to cut through a can and then
immediately slice a tomato these are the
knives to turn to the more you use it
the better it cuts how’s that for sharp
that’s what we call multifunctional the
genius behind the marketing of this late
70s early eighties tool wasn’t that they
were actually Japanese it’s the idea
that they were foreign sounding that
made them much more appealing in Japan
the foot can split wood but it can’t
split a watermelon
this is Ginsu to a complete set of
knives like this ginzu chef’s knife that
combined with their innovate
and groundbreaking hard-sell infomercial
approach seemed to work the knife sold
like crazy thanks in large part to the
impressive knife wielding commercials
you get the Ginsu knife the matching
carving fork the versatile six in one
kitchen tool a set of six steak knives
and the spiral slicer you get them all
guaranteed in writing for 50 years for
only 995 number seven the clapper we
love our simple conveniences like
instead of getting up to turn off our
lights sometimes we’d like the ability
to just clap our hands together and get
the job done just plug it in turns
things on turns things off just by
clapping first sold in 1986 with help
from a clappy jingle the clapper is an
ingenious invention not just for
convenience sake but also for
individuals with limited mobility who
still want to conserve electricity Plus
who wouldn’t feel like nobility entering
their house and clapping their
appliances on the clapper plus works
from anywhere even through windows and
wall or switch on the clapper and the
clapper plus number six life call you
just press this button and speak into
the air and I’m calling paramedics and
your family mr. Miller if you’ve ever
fallen and couldn’t get up
this handy product would have been
helpful I’m falling and I can’t we’re
sending help immediately mrs. Fletcher C
for folks in their golden years and
plenty of people in need of immediate
medical care this commercial wasn’t just
an unintentionally comical product pitch
it was a godsend protect yourself with
life call and you’re never alone having
the ability to call for help while
you’re stuck on the floor can save a
life or at least a hip unfortunately it
couldn’t save this company which went
out of business only to be replaced by
the similar Life Alert but their ads are
far less amusing
number five Bowflex what happens between
consenting adults in the privacy of
their own home is their business even if
it’s working out together on a Bowflex
home Jim want to get ripped want to quit
the gym because you have social anxiety
or just don’t like hearing gym rats
giving themselves hernias do you have an
extra bedroom to dedicate solely to the
majesty that is the Bowflex then this
company has got plenty of not-so-subtle
pieces of exercise equipment just for
you with ten simple exercises you can

launched in 1986 Bowflex provided an
alternative to bulky and heavy exercise
machines as demonstrated in many
commercials and infomercials with
features like a built in aerobic rowing
exercise convertible grips and
convenient folding capabilities it’s
easy to see why a Bowflex was selected
by Fitness Magazine as the best home gym

watch them while binging on sliders and
cheese puffs but that’s another story

in 1995 proactive features benzoyl
peroxide and glycolic acid as active
ingredients this is a benzoyl peroxide
product the same as the cleanser which
is benzoyl peroxide in the fine grains
use it over the entire face every
evening and you’ll stay clear and while
that’s not spectacularly different than
many drugstore brands the celebrity
advertising has worked like gangbusters

eight hundred and fifty million dollars
a year there are some things that just
come with being a teenage girl like
