Have You Ever Purchased An "As Seen On TV" Product ??

Probably but don't remember just what offhand.

Nope.

No i dont think so. At least I dont remember.

Once, and yeah, that was more than enough for me. 
It was a classic "impulse" buy, but I remember seeing it being brought up, several times during the early mornings before school, at TV-Shop and their many commercials, promising you great results, within short time, and through the help and research of some "groundbreaking" stuff.

The Abflex machine, was quite expensive, or so I remember it. I did not order it, as they used to have a physical store down in Oslo (Aker Brygge) in the 90s, and along with a friend of mine, we both decided to build some mucles and got fooled into buying this ridiculous workout equipment.
It did not last long, until you realized you had been screwed over, as some parts would either tire or go to pieces, and yeah, no sign of stomach muscles or "great" results to see. And it was not long, until it was dumped in the garbage bin.

Of course, back then I was 13-14 years old, but you kind of felt ashamed of having bought one of their products, and so I did not "brag" about it, and just went on, having learnt my lesson in not wasting money on TV-Shop products.

Later on, one would just watch their commercials as pure comedy. I loved the one featuring a bald middle aged guy, who pretty much sprayed his new "hair" back on top, and the moment he got out of the door (in the commercial) two hot young 20s something females, just suddenly arrived and was all over him, because of his new spray hair, and the end.

Another classic, was those videos where some fat guy would be sitting inside what looked like a huge tent, in his living room. I think it was some kind of a steam tent, and he would loose weight, while eating junk-food, and a similar electro-belt, sending shockwaves to the stomach muscles, would help burn the fat and provide stimulating shocks to the muscles, increasing them, and yeah, again, some fat guy eating junk-food was often used in these videoes.

Norwegian comedian Kristopher Schau, would test out some of these products, and if they really were of any function or help, and it turned out that they hurt him a lot, so much that he screamed in pain when he turned on the electro/fat burner belt, which was supposedly painless, but yeah, him jumping around screaming and shouting, everytime he got "shocked", was probably a nice reminder that these things only worked for those into pain and more pain, not much else.

Chuck Norris also appeared in quite a few of these TV-Shop videos back in the day, along with the always smiling well trained people in the background.
I think I have never met or seen anyone smile like that, in a gym or outside. But of course, they did not get paid in the first place. 

Pasta'n'more seemed like another of those "who needs it ? " kitchen clutter things BUT it turns out to be a winner.

No need to wait for water for pasta to boil and then baby sit it as it cooks ... it's great for cooking all sorts of vegetables. Acorn squash with maple syrup and butter comes out better than when cooked in the oven or in the microwave with saran wrap as a cover. Found it in the local thrift store for $1.55 ... well worth it ... even if you pay list price ! .
