Are you an infomercial junky?

Most of the time I don't watch infomercials. If I watch any at all they are usually the ones about exercise equipment or programs. They usually end up making me feel guilty that I'm sitting there watching them instead of exercising. LOL Generally, I don't watch a ton of TV but there are times when I want to sit and do nothing. Those are usually the times when there is nothing that interests me on TV and I end up watching infomercials. My husband just bought some kind of weed whacker thing off of one. That was on May 13th and here it is June 6 and it still hasn't arrived. They originally told him to expect it in 7 - 10 business days. He called the other day and it hadn't even been shipped yet! Have you ever been sucked in to an infomercial? Have you ever bought anything and later wished you hadn't?

Hell no. I can't stand them. Luckily here in New Zealand we have very few infomercials. A lot less than what we had a few years ago.

Sometimes I get insomnia and informercials are one of the only things on at that late an hour (I don't have cable), so yes, I have definately watched a few informercials in my day.
While I have never bought anything off the TV on those late nights, there have been a few things that have tempted me...the Magic Bullet mini blender, the chopping thing that you press down on, and the roncon rotisserie.
Remember when the Goerge Foreman grill was just an informercial item? Now they are sold in almost every department store and almost everyone has one...I know I do. Also my Uncle bought us some Tap Lights. Those weren't bad actually.
