Pancake Puffs Infomercial Review

Pancake Puffs Infomercial Review

I am normally not the person to stop my nightly routine of channel surfing when I happen across another infomercial trying to sell me on some other contraption made up by some body with way too much time on their hands. It seems like all some people do is sit around and try to come up with ways to reinvent the same things and then sell them on TV. Mostly, I will take a second and just see what the product is and happily be on my way to the latest fad in reality (or non reality) TV, but when I see food products, I am slightly intrigued. And when it deals with my favorite meal of the day, breakfast, I actually become a little enticed.When one first looks at what the Pancake Puffs is, it literally looks like just a cupcake pan in skillet form. Not exactly going to win the next Nobel, however the types of food you can make with it look extremely delicious and dare I say, easy.

Loving breakfast as I do (if I haven’t said that already) I already know how to make pancakes, and I know the product actually targets pancakes in it commercial, but I don’t think that is why I want a Pancake Puffs skillet. It is because I try to make crepes, and donut holes at home and it almost certainly turns into a bigger mess than it is worth trying to roll them up or trying to put deliciousness (my own word) in the middle. My morning inevitably winds up with me cursing to my self for yet another futile attempt at making my favorite foods. But the practicality of Pancake Puffs in my life is through the roof and although the extra long toothpicks (mmmgh… I mean flipping sticks) doesn’t really put the product over the top for me, the pudding/jam/icing/ whatever I want…. injector certainly does. Don’t take my word for it, watch the commercial , I think you can find it at PancakePuffs.com and come up with your own ideas. It almost does seem like endless opportunities for all meals, not too mention breakfast!!!!

Optic 1050 Binoculars Infomercial Review

Do you have a bird watcher on your Christmas gift list? Yeah, neither do I. But if I did I know what I would get them. The Optic 1050 does seem like quite the deal. I used to do a bit of hunting and at one point was looking for a good pair of binoculars to help see game, but decided against it due to the seemingly outrageous prices. So maybe I can use the Optic 1050 set for that, oh wait, I don’t hunt anymore, dang. What can I use these 1000x magnification binoculars for?

Well my nephew is getting to the age where I can take him hiking, and a good pair of binoculars that wont break in the hands of a 5 year old could be a good thing when we are trying to look at the islands off the coast. Ok, this seems like a valid reason for me. Heck, for less then 20 bucks, I am getting the binoculars that let me see up to 35 miles (crazy to think about I know) a mini set of binoculars (I am sure I can gift those away some how) and, what’s this? A Spy Scope. How awesome sounding is that? Ok, not really, but I know that my nephew will run around for hours looking at everything through the little telescope, ugh I mean spy scope that I just gave him. The smile on his face is so worth it. Plus, I hear that bird watching is the number one growing form of recreation in the U.S. So maybe I should jump on that bandwagon for a bit.

Iron Gym Infomercial Review

Iron Gym Infomercial Review

I have seen the Iron Gym advertised many times on TV and it always caught my eye. I like to rock climb and as any rock climber can tell you, one of the best exercises you can do to get better, is pull-ups. I do have a pull up bar in the garage but that’s just because I didn’t want to put any holes in the walls by screwing it up in the house. So now there is this bar that kind of wraps around the doorframe and uses leverage to support you, with no screws and it installs in a second. Wow!

The infomercial starts out kind of funny if you ask me. “You want to get strong, you want to get lean, you want to get ripped”, says the announcer. Of course any guy out there would love to have a more developed upper body. But this invention really does seem pretty cool, if one actually uses it. With three different pull up grip positions and straps to hang with to work out the abs and the ability to use it on the floor to do push ups, I can’t believe the versatility. When the guy is doing the dips in the infomercial though, I couldn’t help but laugh. He was barely going down then hitting the floor. Not quite the range of motion I was looking for. But for abs, push-ups and pull-ups, this small and lightweight tool is a must in my life, and thanks to the buy one get one free deal, I can also scratch some body off my gift list for Christmas.

Bling String: Infomercial Review

Bling String: Infomercial Review

My middle-aged wife told me the other day she was going to "get her bling on." I was disturbed. I assumed that all of these years, we'd had a happy marriage without the need for her to once get her bling on.
She said she was talking about this new hair care product called Bling String.....and asked me to watch this commercial so I'd know what she was talking about. I watched the commercial three time,and I STILL DON'T KNOW what she's talking about?
I mean sure, I see the "Bling String" in what the announcer cheerfully calls "dazzling colors." And I understand that it somehow gives the woman who wears it better looking hairstyles. But beyond that, I don't know what the stuff does.
I'll grant you, though, getting your bling on must be a good thing. The announcer's chipper, saccharine-sweet voice was only matched by the commercial models who seemed oh-so-chipper themselves. Witness, for instance, those three woman lying on the bed together , on their stomachs, gazing at the camera in a trance, smiles pasted on their faces......and Bling all over their hair.
My wife says I'm hopelessly out of it if I don't understand the concept of "bling." The joke's on her, though. Every time I type "bling," my word processor marks it as an unknown word. I guess my word-processing program is just as much a stiff as I am.
And what is with the color names on these anyway? "Goddess Golden, Bombshell Brown, Super Silver" and others. Ask a man and they're yellow, white and brown.
My wife insists Blign String makes it easy to "get her bling on" and keeps pointing me to the one part of the commercial that tells you how to use it. So I tried to understand. "All you do is cut...." Okay, that's easy enough. I can cut the string...."then knot." Well, okay, I can tie a knot. "And then bling." What? Huh? how do I bling? I don't get it.
But my wife does. And did. She ordered her Bling String just today.
