I observed one the place there have been some incredibly solid looking women and a few goober in a tournament, sitting around a convention table. i theory it became one in all those wealth administration schemes that rip you off for each penny you have. even though it grew to become out to be a "male enhancement" product infomercial.

It it crazy! I get home at 2am and I find myself watching Proactiv or some juicer or kitchen gadget infomercial or excercise show like nutrisystem or the worst one, QVC. My mom is addicted to that show and buys all her stuff off of it and i swore i would never watch it and sometimes i find myself falling asleep to it after work.

Answer 4

I have a few things (great many things) from appliances to cosmetics and exercise equipment not to mention real estate books/CDs that I've ordered and I just recently started to feel like .....not sure of a good word for sucker so I'm trying to stop but I have a love of ordering things via TV/catalog/internet it's really difficult to stop because everytime I place an order I'm so happy and when something arrives I feel like it's my birthday.

Answer 5

Because many of them have very high production values, and they're designed to suck you in. Although, sometimes they grab your interest because it's kind of fun to watch some that are just sooooo bad - kinda like watching a B movie.

Answer 6

because they have a way of convincing us that our lives would be soo much better if we bought thier product. i got sucked in to an infomercial last week. it was a vaccume that looked like a swiffer sweeper. it was bagless, and no cord. it could swivel around any corner, table, or chair. it worked on any surface. i thought to myself, "i have GOT to get me one of these!" but then i realized, that you had to charge it for a complete 8 hours after using it for half an hour. i was like, "ahem, i'll just stick to my yucky old booring upright vac."

Answer 7

I used to do that - then again I worked at night.
I think it's these freaky people they hire that can get like Suuuper enthusiastic about shoe wax or orange juice. It's just some weird fascination. I mean how can somebody be this happy about no-stick frying pans?

Answer 8

i spent an hour just watching this guy, i forget his name, the one who sells the knives that can cut through like a frozen bag of peas or through a frozen turkey or the one about the magic bullet. it wasn't all that interesting but i was just sucked in and couldn't help but watch.

Answer 9

I know. I've watched the one for the magic bullet like 5 times (The "ultimate party machine"!) They make it look so interesting, but really, who makes homemade salsa and alfredo sauce everyday?

Answer 10

I love the magic bullet infomercial- they're so shiny and happy.

I'd never buy one, though.
