The Best and Worst Infomercial Gadgets

prod0611.jpg

Since nobody has money to waste these days, want to talk about best and worst infomercial gadgets?

Product review website

What Kind-of Works
• The Slanket is better liked than the Snuggie but they are both unnecessary.
• The Strap Perfect works if you are small busted, but forget it if you’re over a C cup.
• Listen Up and Loud ‘N Clear amplify sound alright, but they amplify ALL sound – they certainly don’t let you selectively eavesdrop like the infomercials claim.

Save Your Money
• Riddex – supposedly repels pests ‘electronically,’ it’s a joke
• Acai Berry (anything with this ingredient) – no proof that this is a “miracle antioxidant” at all.
• Kinoki Foot Pads – The stuff on the pad is moisture, not “toxins”

I TOTALLY agree with the Strap Perfect comment. Plus here's another one for the negative - it's hard to get on and on off unless you have help.
