Like any other child, I would rush home from school in order to spend hours on TV. But unlike the regular kid, I am not a fan of Cartoon Network or Nickelodeon (ECHOS wala pa kasing Nickelodeon nung panahon ko). In fact I rarely watch cartoons!
Fine nanonood pala ako ng Starla and the Jewel Riders (Shet lalakeng-lalake lang!) But what kept me glued to the tube are infomercials.
O yes! Name it, I've seen them all-again and again. Yung iba nga namemorize ko na. I dunno why I found them interesting. I guess because ang bongga lang nag bida-bidahan at mag demo sa harap ng madlang tao tapos may mga magrereact lang ng oooh woooow that's revolutionary!!! Chuice!
I've listed some of my favorites:
1. Turbo Tiger
This powerful gadget can suck the hell out of anything. ECHOS. Tapos may mga extensions pa so that you can use it on the floor and the ceiling. Amazing yung ginamit siya to lift two bowling balls and a wooden table!
2. Ab Flex Do your crunches with ease! In fairness mukhang space ship. I can't remember much about this product. I guess because I was busy ogling at the models' bodies. SARAP.
3. Silhuet 40
Yes, the gel that reduces the size of your thighs, waists and arms in less than 5 minutes. Magraraid sila sa beach tapos may tent kung saan pwede magpahid ng product and then WOW! AMAZING! I lost 3 cms! *Cue music* SILUET KWARENTAAAAAAAAA!
4. Brown and Crisp
It's just a browning bag for your chicken, pork etc. I really don't know what's so special about it. Perhaps because it's instant.
5. Sewing Genie
Eto amazing. With such a small gadget kaya niyang gumawa ng bestida (the term!), punda at pati kurtina!!!
6. Aerospace Bed
Sorry for the icky picture. Tired of folding beds that take too much space? Futons that are painful in the back? Give your guests the ultimate comfort of the Aero-space bed! I remember testing the product sa pamamagitan ng pagpapasagasa sa pison. Tapos afraid pa yung host kasi baka sumabog! And it floats on water! Ganda lang ni teh sa pool with matching summer drink!
6. Cleopatra
Move over Vicky Belo. Cleopatra nose lift works! Mega suk-sok ka nga lang sa ilong. I wonder what happens when you sneeze or if you have sipon? Kadiri lang pag natuyo!
7. Mojave
The ultimate shades! Interchangeable lenses make 5 pairs in one! There's one for the sunny day, cloudy day, snowy day etc. I seriously wanted to buy one. I stopped fantasizing about owning it when I realized it was too manly.
8. Fat Free Express
No need to cook with oil! At first they will show you a large tub of oil and lard that you supposedly consume in a span of time. May pa eew eww pa ang mga tao. Then the person will show you how to fry an egg using its own oil. Tapos paiikutin yung egg to show that it doesn't stick on the surface.
9. Smart Stacks
One of my favorites! Isama mo na ang endorser na si AUDREY! ( Too bad I can't find a picture of her). It's tightly sealed that when she lights a cube the purple smoke is contained on one layer only. But when you have a party you can just slide each layer and put plastic flowers in the hollow tube at the center. Or if you want to go on a picnic, you can have separate baon for BOB, TINA, etc. (Parang kilala ko sila).
10. Handy Chef
And look ma, no shell!!! I must admit after committing to heart all infomercials, this was the only product we bought. In fairness, totoo ang BAM BAM BAM RAPID SUCCESSION ng mga carrots, celery, peppers and cheese to make a HEALTHY CHOPPED SALAD!
And just like any other infomercial...
BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE!!! call in the next 5 minutes and...Chuice!
I did a little extra research and I found some of them on YouTube!
In fair gustong-gusto ko nito but it was expensive that time. Pero mas gusto ko yung "carpenter's cross" design in simple silver with a velvet rope.
I've tried this in real life and mejo masakit. Para kang maa-appendicitis!
And my most favorite of all!!!!
Why spend hundreds of dollars for a salon styled hair??? Amazing yung frizzy to straight hair! Pero talagang magagamit ko pa to ngayon...perhaps after Svenson I might consider buying one. Chowz
