5 As Seen on TV Products People Still Find Useful

October 13, 2012 by Trish

Am I the only one who thinks I need to purchase every product I see a commercial or infomercial for? Man, they really know what they’re doing with their marketing that’s for sure. I live my life totally fine, completely oblivious of a particular product. And then I see a commercial for it… and my whole world changes. I need that product NOW. I begin to wonder how I ever survived up until that point without the use of that product in my life.


Whether you are a sucker like me, or you think most “As Seen on TV Products” are kind of a joke, one thing is for certain. There are definitely at least a handful of As Seen on TV products that really are quite useful. Really when it comes down to it, all I can say is this: don’t knock it till you try it.

Here are 5 As Seen on TV products that people find useful:

1. ShamWow

Most of us, when we first saw the commercials for the ShamWow, probably kind of made fun of them. I mean, really, I’ll just use paper towels, thank you very much. But then we saw them hanging out in the grocery store checkout lane and we picked them up. And once we got them home, we realized that these cloths really are super absorbent, and it’s nice to have a product like this that we can wash and use over and over again.

2. Insanity Workout

Again, most of us have probably made fun of these commercials. I mean, sometimes it seems like every other commercial is advertising for some sort of workout video or in-home workout equipment. But then we started hearing the reviews. And for people who have used the Insanity workout program (and a few others that are similar to it), they can all agree on one thing: it produces great results!

3. Snuggie

Every single one of us has made fun of their commercials. When I was forced to continually see that woman throwing her blanket off in frustration when she couldn’t answer the phone, I swore I would never own one of these items just on pure principle of how much I hated the commercials.

Then I came across one in the store. And as I really started to think about it, I began to realize that this could actually be a pretty useful product! Having those sleeves in the blanket as you try to read, use the remote control, or talk on the phone, really could be pretty nice. So, I will admit it, I broke down and purchased one.

Even though we’ve all made fun of snuggies’ commercials, when you really start looking into it, at this point most people you know probably actually own one of these products. And we’ve all enjoyed not having to throw off our blanket in frustration when the phone rings.

4. Neck Pillow

We’ve all seen these on commercials, in gas stations, and in the airport magazine stores. The neck pillow. Anyone who has ever been on a long airplane ride, or a road trip, will all agree: these neck pillows are a lifesaver!

5. Slap Chop

Again, this is yet another one of those As Seen on TV products that many of us have made fun of… until we own one. These little handheld choppers really do save quite a bit of time over having to chop those items with a knife.

Interesting News Day

April 17, 2012 by Tricia

This seems to be a historic day in many ways. I was just watching the news and I realized that it’s the 30th anniversary of the signing of The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms – April, 17th, 1982. The Charter is still controversial even 30 years after it was created!

Then … there was a story about the Space Shuttle Discovery’s last trip. It flew on the back of an airplane as it was taken to Washington to be placed in the Smithsonian Museum. It’s hard to believe that there aren’t going to be any more Space Shuttles and that there doesn’t seem to be anything created to replace them as of yet. Well … maybe these galactic looking boots might do the trick? They’re called Alpinestars SMX 5 Boots and to me they look like they’d be perfect for space travel. LOL Yeah I’m just kidding but do take a look, they’re funky.

In my little world .. nothing historic going on here I’m afraid. I’m tired, I’m hungry and I have sore feet. Hmmm … what to do.

Murder Mysteries

June 25, 2011 by Tricia

Do you ever watch those murder mystery shows on TV where they try to figure out what happened to someone who was murdered?

I don’t mean a TV show, I mean more like a true crime show or a documentary or in this case it’s an episode of Dateline that I’m watching. It’s about a girl that went missing in Las Vegas and then a week later her body was found in a ravine.

I haven’t got to the end of the story but my guess is that the ex fiances girlfriend is the one responsible for the murder. Plus it seems she’s pregnant – but if I were the guy I’d have a paternity test because she’s acting so suspcious I’d even doubt the truth about that!

I guess I like murder mysteries, I even read novels that are murder mysteries or horror stories. Of course those aren’t true stories, they’re usually pure fiction. Do you enjoy a good thriller story too? Certainly not living through one I’m sure!

The Foo Fighters Documentary

June 22, 2011 by Tricia

Why am I always distracted when I’m trying to work on the computer? My husband is watching TV and he happens to be watching The Foo Fighters: Back and Forth and of course, since I really like the band and I’m watching the show more that I am working on the computer. Not good, not good at all. LOL

Oh well.

Now Dave Grohl is talking about when Kurt Cobain met Courtney Love and how they got into drugs and stuff. Too bad they never tried going to naltrexone acamprosate campral treatment centers maybe Kurt would still be alive. Of course maybe the Foo Fighters wouldn’t have been created if Kurt was still around.

I guess I’d better get back to splitting my time watching tv and trying to work at the same time.

Trying to do two things at once

June 13, 2011 by Tricia

I’m sitting here watching TV and trying to get some work done on the computer at the same time. Unfortunately … I’m not getting much work done on the computer because I’m watching the movie Burlesque.

I’m enjoying the movie a lot more than I thought I would. I normally don’t like musicals all that much, but this one has me captivated for some reason. I like the guy playing Jack .. although it probably wouldn’t have hurt if he’d gone looking for testosterone supplements that worked to build up his muscles a bit more. Yum.

Ok back to the movie .. and more computer work .. I’ll get it all done eventually!
