SHAM WOW!!!!!

And although it is not an infomercial, that stupid JG Wentworth commercial drives me nuts!

[chowhound]

errrr :unsure:
I give those things out to my customers....


Seriouosly, they do have their purpose. Especially when trying to use one of those car phone books for us over forty crowd. You can never have too much light or enough magnification :mrgreen:

Personally, I'm about ready to lose it all if I keep seeing the shamwow guy.

Another vote for Sham-Wow here (....hey camera guy, you gettin this?) "Pitchman Vince" reminds me of those midway barkers at the State Fair!

I saw one this weekend for an Amish crafted electric fireplace that you could roll from room to room and plug in... the total lack of irony killed me

I also love the pasta tube....ah the challenges of boiling a pot of water and dumping a box of past in it solved forever

[chowhound]

You're right Pancho. The irony in the electric fireplace hand built by the Amish really makes you think.... And to think they are limiting purchases to two per household!

[waybomb]

But they are so beautiful and energy efficient. :yum::yum:

[chowhound]

You are right! Your "gas bill" will go down.....

[PanchoHambre]

You're right Pancho. The irony in the electric fireplace hand built by the Amish really makes you think.... And to think they are limiting purchases to two per household!

I know! I had to order extras under a pseudonym:yuk: those stingy Amish hogging America's key to energy independence.... if they just got some power tools they could build em faster:smile:

You are right! Your "gas bill" will go down.....


:yum::yum::yum: Cant argue with THAT!

The annoying loud mouth that now advertises insurance, I think he used to do sham wow and a number of other useful (useless??!) products - can't think of his mane right now, never had any desire to remember him!!

The Snuggie has made it into the news!
http://www.usatoday.com/life/lifestyle/2009-01-27-snuggie_N.htm
There was even one spotted at the inauguration? Unbelievable.

And for anyone that likes Jim Rome, here's his take on the Snuggie and the ShamWoW from youtube.

years ago i used to watch them religously. I never bought anything but for some reason I found them oddly entertaining.

There was a hyper english guy that used to do them and I remember it was for non stick pans and stuff and he was like look at this. and would melt some cheddar in the thing and then put a wooden spoon on it and be like look at this....

Later on when I started makign burnt cheese yeah, it would never stick to the pan no matter how bad the non stick becuase of all the fat and grease that comes out when cooking cheddar like that but of coarsei t owuld stick to the wooden spoon becuase that part of the cheese isnt carmalized and the spoon is porus.

I always wanted to punch Tony Little in the face. :bangin: I think I've moved my frustrations over to the Scam Wow idiot. I saw him pushing some other crap besides the rag.

[chowhound]

I remember him Ghetto. Some kind of "Diamondware" cookware.
I think he was the first of the "accented" marketers. I mean, if you're British, you must know what you're talking about, right?

I actually wound up buying a Little Giant ladder, after watching the infomercial. It was the weight limit that convinced me, as I was over the weight limit for every other ladder I had ever had, plus it would fold up to where I could store it in the basement of the RV I was living in.
