You need a PhD in Engineering to explain fraud? The FTC went after those people.
Actually, “using wipers” is another way of saying “it’s precipitating”. Don’t forget our friend Mister Snow. I don’t understand why people would resist turning on their headlights so others can see you better and avoid smashing into you.
The Stone Wave does a pretty good job of microwave “poaching” of eggs without funny tastes or chlorofluorocarbons. Works with onions, too.
Dick Butkus used to pitch (late 1990’s) a collapsible 3 piece newspaper-burning grill that worked great for me. It got real hot, real quick, and would cook a steak or a few burgers in no time.
(You tube surfing intermission)
I found an infomercial for it, but I see no Dick Butkus…
Maybe I was under the influence then.
I’m torn between the flowbee and Uroclub; I don’ have any experience with the Uroclub personally though.
I’m uncomfortable with the mental picture evoked by this tearing.
Strutz. I swear they work better than the $300 orthotics from the podiatrist.
The Ronco Smokeless Ashtray used to work pretty well. It was noisy; but it kept the level of smoke in a room down.
Snuggies are actually pretty warm.
Ginzu Knives really will hold an edge for long period of time. However, almost any knife can cut through a can so that aspect isn’t that impressive.
I thought it was a guy that “looked” like Butkus, not Butkus himself. In any case, the one I remember was the Spanek Vertical Roaster.
The source is about safe food handling, not thermodynamics.
that would be GLH-9.
Heh. I’ve always used the gallon Glad Lock bags for that same purpose. A trick my mom taught me way back when. Also very handy if you go backpacking or camping, as the bags will help ensure that you have dry underwear even if you get pounced by a thunderstorm. The wife and I joke that whenever the TSA opens our baggage to inspect it, they probably say “Oh good lord, one of these people” and zip the suitcase shut again.
I think what was supposed to be impressive was cutting through the can and keeping an edge.
Another vote for the Stone Wave, George Foreman Grill, and Space Bags!
I’ve also been pleased with the Side Socket, Chillow, and Sticky Buddy.
I tried the Heel Tastic a few years back. Was not impressed. Ped Egg works though.
No No hair remover… It’s a no.
Dryer Balls… They’re LOUD!
Got a Swivel Sweeper for Christmas and we love it!
Hubby got that knife with the holes in it. He loves it.
I’m sure there have been others I’ve forgotten. And we have a few things we got and haven’t even used yet.
Gee… Han’t realized what a sucker I am until this thread!
Since it didn’t actually work better as a thawing device compared to any other chunk of metal, this implied that it was a food safety hazard. But the main point was that it didn’t work as advertised. The food safety issue was why there was an accelerated move to get it off the market.
Still nothing exotic to explain. It didn’t have any distinct properties. No “miracle” at all.
I used a forgotten Target gift card I found while cleaning my desk to buy a Wraptastic. Works as advertised when loaded with plastic wrap, and makes the stuff a lot easier to use. I have never been able to tear that stuff off without it going all clingy on itself and wadding up into a useless mess, except for that one brand that used to have a sliding cutter on the box. I haven’t seen any boxes like that in years.
Was it this thing? I was just talking today about needing to clean my windshield.
Costco’s Kirkland wrap has that.
I used Proactive and it was the best thing I’ve ever done for my skin - even better than Retin-A. The timing may have coincided with some sort of hormone change that cleared up my skin, but my acne cleared up almost immediately starting it and, even now that I don’t use it anymore, my skin is clear and I rarely break out.
