Infomercials and coffee

Dec 24, 2002 04:40

Why are Infomercials so damned addictive? I mean, I'm flipping channels and I see food. I get interested for a brief second. Before too long I have the phone in my hand trying to order a cordless powerdrill or a fat-free cooking device or some women's sanitary products. Doesn't matter what. Just after two minutes of watching them bullshit their way ( Read more... )

I had about that much coffee once in an afternoon. I don't remember that night. I was dehydrated for the next 3 days.

Next time why don't you just pop the beans in your mouth and start chewing? It has about the same effect.

hahaa... spooful of coffee, spoonful of sugar. Repeat.

Oh and just think, you won't have to pee as much!

i don't ever buy anything from the actual infomercial..

i wait until i'm in the store and see the boxes with "as seen on tv" on them and then buy it

That definitely saves on the credit card bill.

Unless you buy it on credit, ofcourse. ;)

jesikah01 December 25 2002, 20:37:35 UTC

i don't use credit
i don't trust myself with it :o|

I saw a hand held sewing machine on tv...I wanted it so bad...I would have bought it if I wasnt so lazy. I just couldn't force myself to get off the couch to get the phone or my credit card. I also enjoy the dehydrator commerical where you can make beef jerky. Yumm! I also wanted that but same thing...laziness saved me. *anaducky*

Hahahaha.

Now I see why Kara says you are so hysterical.

Just another Cornholio here in Michigan,

(P.S. Just how many women's sanitary products have you scored?)

Re: potman January 3 2003, 03:25:15 UTC

Dozens of womens products. I don't know what most of them do. I just hand them out as Christmas presents.

clemidia January 3 2003, 11:08:10 UTC

Christmas presents?!HAHAHAHAHA!

Eesh.

I may live to regret this, but I am adding you to my friends' list, Mmmkay?

And the reason I may live to regret it is because I have a birthday coming up next month; need my address for the gift-sending?
