I Bought This on TV! (Or at least was tempted to)
We've all done it. You see an infomercial late at night and whatever is being advertised looks ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. You might be drunk, or sleep deprived, but you HAVE TO HAVE IT. Then 6-8 weeks later, a box shows up at your door and you think "What IS this?" then you open it and probably feel kind of stupid because it isn't going to change your life like you were sure that it would.
Bump It!
Look like a high school skank or Sarah Palin in minutes!
Topsy Tail
Already the subject of some conversation on GSpot, my mom bought me a Topsy Tail off of TV when I was in middle school. I’m not totally sure why this tool is necessary, but it seemed REALLY necessary.
I have been tempted an undisclosed number of times to buy this, but have stayed strong. Don’t be fooled by the “Quick Chopper.” It’s not the same! Oh, and this video is dubbed in German because there was no English version, but fear not, the unbelievable awesomeness of this product breaks down all language barriers.
Now you can buy your nonessential purchases on the Internet, too!
Magic Bullet
I admit, I don’t actually have one of these miracle blenders but every time I see them use it to make guacamole I know that one day, I will have to buy one. You can’t go wrong with a blender that shares its name with a sex toy.
Now I never want to leave my car. Hooray!!
Yes…I bought it. Because I thought it would be life-changing to be able to peel a tomato. Don’t hate.
The Wave Exercise Program
The Firm
I’m still actually teeter-tottering from buying to not buying!
“You’re gonna like my nuts …”
Meatball Magic
My uncle bought this for my parents… who are professional chefs. It was hilarious. Who can’t make a meatball?? All you do it roll meat into a ball. We used this one night just for kicks and it was just plain funny!

Pops-a-Dent
My uncle (a different uncle) bought this after he nearly totaled his car. It was not a mere dent he needed to “pop.” And thus comes the best quote ever from my then 11-year-old cousin: “That’s my family in a freaking nutshell.” We still frequently quote this and laugh about my uncle’s attempt to fix his car with Pops-a-Dent. Oh, and by the way, it did not work.
