Ohgod, someone please tell me why they allow infomercials on television? And why, oh why oh why does the roomie watch them??
The other day when I got online I noticed that he had used my puter, and had visited a website about an item he saw on tv. I knew, I just knew he had ordered it.
Not just one - two. Two little tiny food processor like items. And he has such grand plans for these things.
And he doesn't cook. Ever. Unless you count heating up a can of soup on occassion.
He now wants to buy daquiri mix and pina colada mix to make drinks. He wants to buy fresh fruit and carrots to try the juicer. He wants to make milk shakes, smoothies, alfredo sauce and pesto sauce.
He won't even eat pesto sauce.
I won't eat pesto sauce.
What in the hell IS pesto sauce??
He says I can make scrambled eggs in 3 seconds. Mix them anyway. I can do that with eggs in a bowl and a fork...and I don't have to clean some little thingie with sharp blades on it.
He paid $99 for these two things. And $39.99 to ship them.
I can imagine we can sell them in a yard sale next spring for maybe $10?

He is paying for them with his money.
Or is it your dole?
That is so funny. I can't imagine spending that much money on those items. Thanks for the great post.
Oh, but the magic bullet is awesome if you like frappe drinks like Big Train Mocha Frappe or the like. No kidding. it's easy to use and easy to clean.
The only good use for infomercials is to gauge just how gullible people are these days.
The minute I buy an informercial item is the minute I know I've reached rock bottom.
Oooh. I'll buy them for $10.00, $20.00 even. I love that infomercial and I've always wanted one (or two) but the price was too steep.
I'll give you a little trick to get your own cheap version of the magic bullet. Go to the store and buy some Ball Mason jars, then go buy a regular old blender. Put all your junk into one of the jars and take the bottom off of the blender container and screw it to the top of the jar. Flip the jar over and put it into the blender base. Ta da, instand magic bullet. :)
