Alright, it's true I'm a sucker for infomercials and the gadgets they sell. I know most people make fun of them, and the people who buy the stuff on them. I however, think those people are probably very happy, just like the people on the infomercials. Now I have mocked my fair share of infomercials, but if I'm totally honest, my arms do get cold when I'm reading a book and Snuggie owners arms do not.
I must admit that my t.v. watching time at odd hours of the day and night has increased greatly and with that increase so has my infomercial watching. A couple of days ago in the wee morning hours, I was delighted to preview the Xpress, Redi Set Go. I was easily captivated in but a few minutes of watching. I mean you can cook steak, omelets, brownies, pizzas, chicken, sandwiches, and muffins all in less then 10 minutes. What about the mess you say. Not to worry the clean up is easy too. My mouth just waters thinking about the good that could come from that machine. I'm sure you're probably sold as well, don't worry I have the phone number. I also have the phone number for numerous other infomercials. I dreamily write them all down knowing I could have smoothies, clear skin, and Hip Hop Abs. However, I have one slight problem. It is my practicality. It's true while I love all of these new found gadgets, I'm just don't have the spontaneity to buy them. I guess I'm a window infomercial shopper. However, I did receive the pasta pot from some friends who had heard me talk endlessly about how great it would be. And I must say I have had perfect pasta for years with no hassle or mess. (Just like the commercial said) The Head Wizard (which I had to show you with this picture) also given to me by a friend who knew I was smitten with it, has helped me relax for years. You may laugh, but those who have experienced the Head Wizard only say, "Ahhhhh." One year my roommate got a clapper which we hooked up to the Christmas lights in our living room, and when you laughed just loud enough they would go off and on. Amazing, I know. Not practical, I know. But, if I lie awake tossing and turning anymore, the allure of the Redi Set Go infomercial may cause me to throw practicality out the window. And if it does, you're all invited over for dinner.
