Is there a product, service, or other thing that you are impressed enough with that you would yell about it while wearing khakis and a blue shirt? If you are more the Vince or Susanne Somers type, feel free to contribute as well.

I for one would shill for Barkeepers Friend cleaning powder. That stuff makes every piece of stainless steel you own look like new, it is almost strange how easy it works. I had a frying pan and a pasta pot with 20 years of baked on stains on them. I got them off in 5 minutes with BF and a paper towel. Same thing with my sink. I had these stubborn rust stains on my countertop that were resistent to other cleaners. With BF it came off easy. I had these ring stains where the pans usually sit that had built up over years on my glass stovetop. BF took them off with a bit of light scrubbing. It is an amazing product that you will likely not see an ad for.

The Fleshlight.

I’ve never actually used the product but the thought of pushing it on TV while wearing khakis, intrigues me.

The products made by the Crawford Fitting Company, including for example the Swagelok, 'Sno-Trick, Nupro, Whitey, and Cajon lines. They leave pretty much nothing to be desired, and are one of the best kept secrets on the market.

There’s already an infomercial on it, but I’d go crazy on TV for the Magic Bullet. (The personal counter top assistant, not the personal crotch top assistant). I freaking love it and whenever someone asks me about it, I go nuts.

1.) My SodaClub carbonated water dispenser.  
2.) My bug zapper that looks like a tennis raquet.

Diet Squirt. It’s the only time I’ve ever used the words “wow, that’s refreshing”
