As Seen On TV....

OK, anyone buy or use the Pocket Hose!

I'm done with those pieces o' poop!! Third one in a row to have a blowout on me. Right in the middle of giving Ginger her bath. Not cool man, not cool!!!

You'd think I would've learned my lesson after The Stufz incident. That stupid thing doesn't work either!

Da*n you, as seen on TV products!!

I asked about this I think in the garden thread. I ended up buying one and the second time I used it, it leaked.

I work at a store that has a hardware dept. and they have those for sale. I would NOT recommend them! Too many of them coming back.

Leaks I can handle. This was a stage 4 blowout! There was like a 4 inch section that just split apart. At least it blew right after I rinsed the soap off the car. I would have been way more cranky if it happened while my girl was still covered in suds!!

I don't buy any of the stuff they show on TV. It's all a bunch of hype.

This is a cool thread. They make that hose look so simple and inviting. I was contemplating making my first-ever TV purchase.

If it seems too good to be true......

Too funny! My daughter went through a stage between 4 and 6 where she was obsessed with all manner of As seen on TV crap. Most things we avoided but she gave my mom the Buxton organizer purse for Christmas one year (once you get all your stuff in the purse, then you can't get it out again) and she received a Touch n' Brush toothpaste dispenser (worked for about 2 weeks before it was hopelessly clogged).

It was a good learning experience that everything is not as good as it looks on TV ads. Then we had a year of her yelling at the TV, "Don't believe them, people! It doesn't work like that!"

I always wanted some of those knives... did anyone here ever get them, were they any good?

You have some aluminum cans you need to cut in half, Flake?

Yeah, I was thinking of a hose pipe, maybe.

 

[Out of Order]

I'd get you some, Flake, but the shipping costs would be more than the knives!

Nah we're good, thanks... I was just interested in knowing how good they were.

I've never bought anything "as seen in tv". My 2 youngest kids have the pillow pets, but we didn't buy them until they were available in stores.

I was given a "perfect brownie pan" as a gift but have never used it! The rack thingy that is supposed to cut them into nice, uniform pieces just makes it very hard to store anywhere neatly.
