Have you ever bought something you'd seen on any one of those infomercials? There's all kindsa stuff. I just would love to know if any of it works like it does on tv. For instance, my ex g/f ordered that thick, slimy green stuff that supposedly removes unwanted hair quickly. Didn't work.

I also wonder about that OxyClean (& Orange Cleaner) stuff. You know- the ones w/ that sleazy looking big bearded guy. He wears a pinky ring & goes to strip clubs. He cheats on his wife in Long Island w/ a woman named Angela & flirts with anything w/ a skirt & chewing gum....

Well, I guess I won't be trying Nads anytime soon (the thick, slimy hair removal stuff).

I have used OxyClean, which really isn't that bad. It's not so good, however, when you're trying to get those nasty stains out of your carpet. Least, that's been the case for me. That OrangeGlow product he pushes is great! I use it all the time when I'm cleaning around the house, and I'd recommend it to anyone.

The only thing we've ordered off TV is the George Foreman Indoors Grill, and that thing REALLY works.

I've never ordered anything off of TV. One of the girls I knew ordered one of those personal cooling devices - said it broke after a week.

Not yet. Though the other day I saw an ad for a cool looking pancake maker. I love pancakes...I'm thinking about ordering it if I see the infomercial again.

I've been tempted a few times but have never actually ordered anything.

The flipper one? I heard it doesn't work...There's a gap between whatever & when you flip it over, the batter oozes out. Not pretty.

Does QVC count?
