Been thinking more about this one. So, I googled "as seen on TV" and apparently there's an official website for items tagged with that phrase (www.asseenontv.com). There are more ads for hair removal devices than just about anything else. I love the names of some of these things too- the image that "Slap Chop" conjures has NOTHING to do with vegetables.
I always think it's funny when I know someone who has a Bowflex, because those are only available through TV offers, right? And those are EXPENSIVE. And Chuck Norris talked them into it. Because he is so attractive and irresistible and mighty.
The other thing that I thought of that everyone has that originally had an infomercial is the Foreman Grill. Talk about living up to the hype, Lauen, Justine and I used one daily when we lived together, and Brian uses his giant one pretty often.
And do any of the ladies out there remember the Topsy Tail? It made some sort of weird ponytail twist thing that supposedly made a gal look JUST LIKE A PRINCESS! Seen here: http://www.asseenontv.com/prod-pages/topsy_tail.html My hair was always too curly and thick for one of those to work, but man was that a LOOK for a while.
One more thing I must make clear. Kristen Surette would NEVER wear a bedazzled jean jacket, which is why she is having trouble with this writing prompt.
