There are infomercials on later at night that actually interest me. I can't see myself grabbing my phone and purchasing any of these things, yet I want to try them out.
Kinoki Foot Pads: Or whatever they're called. They look gross. And they look cool. But do they work? And if you actually get that dirty gunk on one is it actually hazardous metals in your body or just foot dirt or a chemical reaction to sweat? I dunno. But I just really can't imagine this working. It's just not logical. And they're selling like 500 at once so you have to wonder if they need to get rid of them.
Crazy Absorbing Miracle Towel: Or whatever it's called. I actually believe this one works–thanks for actually showing a result in real-time. My sister had some weird towel like that when she played water polo, but this is like a super one. But holy cow is that guy weird! His face looks all distorted...he looks like Willem Dafoe smushing his face on a window. And I don't think with modern technology you need a head piece to hear you. He wears his mic-head-piece thing like it's goin out of style.
Magic Bullet: You know you want it. But better yet, I want friends like the people sitting at the bar. They are so ridiculously engaged in what's being chopped it's hilarious. "No way!" "It really works!" "Look at it go!" And that's not all....
Mineral Makeup: All brands in general. How does that work? I wanna try the stuff. I just can't conceive of how powder conceals all flaws that usually take foundation, concealer, powder, etc. And apparently it's good for you. I don't really care about that though, just make me look good.
If you have free time to google these products I'd love to know if they live up to the excitement I feel while watching them presented to me. I'm also curious to know what everybody else finds intriguing. I know I'm leaving something out..

Don't be fooled!!!!!
I once fell into the buy it now thing, and I definitely had buyer's remorse. After months of not having television, I stayed at my brother's place for a weekend, and found myself engrossed in this great deal for scrapbooking stuff. It was this many thousand (or hundred?) piece set for only $39.99 (plus shipping and handling). But, wait, there's more. If you call in the next thirty minutes you can receive a second set for only the price of shipping and handling. Oh, the sucker that I am. I was so excited that I was going to get two for the price of one. I had drawn my sister for Christmas, and knew she'd love a set. So, I called in (to a fully automated system) and once I paid for the item, shipping and handling, and also got suckered into paying an extra 4.95 or so for some fancy scissors, I think my total was around $60. Then, it arrived and was the ugliest paper ever (not to mention very thin--not high quality). The many pieces came from all these really ugly punch out shapes and stuff. Oh, it was sad. I still gave it to my sister, but apologized for it. I really had wished that I'd just used the $30 to buy her cute stuff that I got to pick out individually.
Sorry for the huge post, but I wanted to share!
Those foot pads make me wonder too. I don't know how they can actually "Pull the toxins out of your body." I think it's just foot gunk, but still... I kind of want to try it. Only if it were free though, I'm cheap ;)
I looked up the foot pads thing, and there was an article saying the only way to get toxins out through your skin is by sitting in a sauna and sweating it out. So if you get gunk, what is that stuff? Haha.
And I will definitely consider the scrapbook stuff experience in the future!
Last Christmas Grandma Holley told Daniel and me about this foot bath that pulls toxins out of your body. By the time you're done, the water is dark colored. they can tell by the color of the water what toxins were pulled from your body. Daniel was so intrigued (and skeptical) that he researched it. Turns out it's a total scam.
