The one and only time i was actually swayed by an infomercial was about a month ago when i saw a commercial for the lovely little product called “ShamWow!”. If you don’t know what i’m talking about then here’s the jist of it:
Well, a friend and i were so convinced that it was a truly legitimate and fantastic product that we ordered some. But when it arrived we were left in utter disappointment. If you watch the full commercial it shows this charasmatic New Yorker guy soaking up cola from under a carpet without even pushing down. That’s bogus… i tried it myself. my carpet has a lovely brown stain on the corner now. Even after punching the ShamWow on top of it. It is really the most ineffective towel i’ve ever used. It hardly absorbs anything, honestly. It does not dry my arms with one quick sweep. It is not effortless to use. It shrinks to 1/3 it’s size if you put it in the dryer. It will NOT replace paper towels (because you will still need to use them to wipe up the rest of the liquid that the ShamWow didn’t get). And, all in all, it sucks. Save yourself the trouble and don’t buy this thing.
ShamWow!, you’ll be saying SHAM every time.
