AS SEEN ON TV PRODUCTS... My local news channel, Channel 2, WGRZ out of Buffalo, N.Y. here is doing a series every morning on these products and they tested the Meatball Magic and 5 Stackable Containers with Lids I had to add my 3 cents to what they did to the product... but it was alot of fun.. The nice lady reporter that's doing the special series is Mary Friona, and she's alot of fun, makes your morning a little more cheery when she's on... But anyways... what products have you all tried and liked or disliked???? We were all talking a couple of days ago about the stackable unit that G~mom liked.. What was the name of that thing??? I'll add my huge list later today!

I can't think of any TV products I own! I have that Ginsu knife they started advertising back in the 70's. I got mine in '78 and still use it everyday. Ginsu Cinja

I've got the Ginsu knives too They're great,still nice and sharp after all of these years. Cool thing,I bought them at a flea market for a dollar a set(complete set),in fact,I bought a dozen sets that year and gave them to everybody for Christmas and they are still using theirs also. It's been years since I bought anything off of the T.V. I did buy the salad spinner,salad shooter and a wok and stiil have them to this day.

Johnny bought an iron that you were supposed to be able to steam wrinkles out of drapes without taking them down, and out of clothes while they were hanging up or while you were wearing them. It wasn't supposed to be hot. Didn't work. Should have figured that cold "steam" isn't going to work too well.
I ordered some Somersize fruit drinks off QVC one day, tried to drink one - yuk. Took one to work and mixed it up and everyone had the same response. The cans they come in are cute though.

Ya know...I have to say that I have pretty much been very pleased with the stuff I have ordered. The pasta pans were just not something I used...so I got rid of them...and then there was some flipper tong things that were a lot of trouble///but most of the bigger items I have pretty much been pleased with!

Okay, I'm guilty....
I have the ginsu knives...Mine are still sharp. The tong things....I actually like them for taking fries out of the frier. The Pasta cookware....Junk, was cool at first but it's corroded and flaked on the non stick.
The best of all is the spinning tupperware thing like Gmom has...I bought it at wallyworld and I'll never be without it...I literally threw away every single old piece I had(a lot)...most missing the lid...LOL I LOVE IT!!!! Just the right sizes for me to heat stuff up in....The lids are all organized...Takes up hardly any room. Keeps it all neat....I would recommend this product!
Vanessa, how is that Magic Bullit thing? I've watched that infomercial late at night about 5 times....wondered if it worked good and do you really use it a lot????

Cindy, don't you get me started tonight ....you remember we got slashes against us the other night..... Yeah...and I had to tuck tail & run!!! Loz...I use it several times a day! Got Darin & Lisa one...they use theirs as much as I use mine! When Peanut was a baby, I made all of his babay food..now make all of Galvin's. Makes the BEST scrambled eggs & omlets ...they are so fluffy! I originally bought the ultimate chopper...I was looking for something small to chop my herbs in...although I liked it okay, there would always be a loss of herbs between the bowl & lid. The magic bullet is all enclosed...there is no loss. It is great! I didn't think I would use the juicer & mug set but got them anyway...I use them. THe only thing with either of those choppers is you have to remember they are fast and powerful...therefore, I don't recomend them for chopping nuts...unless you sre shooting for nut dust! When chopping meat (like for chopped Bar~B~Que...just puls it a couple of times...or again...it will be very fine. I never put mine up! I have certain things I like to do in the bullet and certain things I like to do in the ultimate chopper...they are just different....and I like them both.

15 years ago I was laying on the sofa recovering from meningitis and my kids started talking me into buying things off TV. The only thing I really remember is a set of serated knives with some kind of pokey thing at the end. Worked great and I still use it. Can't remember anything else - I guess that's why it's called "brain fever".

Did you ever get the Meatball Maker??? Well...YEAH!!!! There is a trick to using it...but once you get the hang of it ...it's pretty fun! I like it because your meatballs all turn out the same size...and pretty!

I have "Moving Men"-- the little dealies you slide under your furniture so you can rearrange your furniture easily. They work great. I love them.
