What’s the very last thing you saw a commerical for that made the part of your brain that’s still six cry “I want it!”?
Me, it’s the iDog, for which I saw a commerical earlier this week. I don’t have an iPod, nor do I want one, but if it was necessary to have one, I might have considered buying one for the sole purpose of using it with the iDog. Luckily, you don’t need an iPod for it to work.
Talking to my brother, I mentioned that I’d just seen a commerical for something that afternoon and wanted it like a little kid. He correctly guessed what it was (!!) and said he wanted one too! So it’s a powerful commercial. Amazon’s got them on sale, so I’ll probably order two by next weekend - one for me, one for a Christmas present.
I saw a commercial today for some doggie steps, that you park next to your bed so your dog has easier access. A couple of years ago, I would’ve laughed, but my elderly dog hasn’t felt like jumping up on the bed lately, and somebody has to keep my feet warm.
Gosh, I feel like a nerd, then – for me it was the “Little Giant” ladder from the infomercial. Of course I don’t order from infomercials, but everything online about them is fantastic. But $400 for a ladder system (as cool as it is) is not justifiable for this non-pro.
The new Mustang GT. But I went to the dealer and the interior was too ugly to sit in. Plus it’s even more difficult for short people like me to see over the hood properly than my current Mustang. Shame.
I was up early this morning and saw an informercial for the Tassimo Hot Beverage System. It’s basically one of those coffee makers that uses the pods, but you can make cappuchino and espresso and tea and hot chocolate, too. It was really neat. You stick the pod in and it reads the barcode on the pod and brews whatever you’ve selected in just a minute or two. It’s all brewed within the pod, so there’s virtually no cleanup, either.
If I “ORDERED NOW!!!” I’d get 2 bags of pods and 2 stainless travel mugs free.
I don’t know where you get the pods - you can sign up to have a supply mailed to you monthly, but that’d be a pain. I want to buy them myself, not have them mailed to me (and I assume charged to my credit card).
It was really cool, and I instantly wanted it.
I totally don’t need it. But my birthday is this week…
I like that commercial for the phone with the built-in Ipod where the person is walking down the street but the shadow is dancing it’s fool feet off, then it becomes calm when the phone rings and then gets jiggy again when the call ends. It reminds me of my inner self of yesteryear.
A new phone. Any phone commercial, really, makes me look at my phone and think “If only it hadn’t gone swimming… If only I hadn’t fallen off my bike with it that one time… If only I hadn’t dropped it those 80 billion times… If only…” Yeah, I desperately need a new cell phone.
Other than that, a Canon PowerShot. Yeah… I want it. A lot.
subtle hint My birthday’s in 28 days… we’ll see how that works out, right? And I’m turning 16.
So it’s a powerful commercial. Amazon’s got them on sale, so I’ll probably order two by next weekend - one for me, one for a Christmas present.
