Has a commercial ever interested you in something enough to buy it?

This is a really good discussion and I know that television is really important when it comes to everyday life because it is a good way to pass the time when you are extremely bored,or when you have nothing to do like on those extremely cold,and rainy days where you do not want to leave the house for anything,and I know that there are probably people who watch television a lot,and they can not live without it,and then I am sure there are people who either do not like television,or they do not watch it a lot because they might have a busy work schedule,or they might be busy doing things around the house,like cooking or cleaning,or taking care of the kids if they have any,and I am sure that some people will watch the commercials, while other people probably just tune them out,I have to say that the commercials are quite annoying and it seems like television is nothing but commercials anymore and I remember I used to watch the commercials because they seemed kind of interesting even though I never ordered anything off of one,but now I am sick of them,so most of the time I will either mute the television,or go and do something in another room while the commercials are on,because they are nothing but junk,have a great day,good luck with your life,and all of your mylotting goals,and Happy Posting.

I know exactly what you mean I bought the hair away thing. I have not been about to get it to work for me. But when i saw the commercial with my mother and sister we all said now we could use that. so we bought it. It did nothing to the hair on our legs and arms. I felt like maybe i needed to read the directions again. we still have the product but i gave up... and think i will have to go back to shaving.

We nearly bought a Ronco rotisserie grill many years ago. It sounded like a good deal. When I was on the phone ordering it they asked me if I wanted this gadget and that gadget. The price was astronomical. I called back and told them to cancel it. A few months later I found a Big George rotisserie for $80 and we have had it for nearly 8 years now. Love it.

Mostly food. For some reason the Reese's peanut butter cup commercials sometimes make me want one of those. Separately, I love Vince (the guy who sells the Slap Chop and the ShamWow)! He amuses me and makes me think of the old "live" commercials that were on TV years and years and years ago (before I was born but I've seen rebroadcasts when TV Land used to play their "retromercials").

yes, mainly books and also I was tempted to buy a cook robot, full of great features, but it was so expensive, I gave up

Yea, commercials DO make me buy things..lol..usually toys for the kids and sometimes something for me or hubby.

I will not tell lies. Many times I have bought things after looking at the commercials again and again. they have attracted me to buy the things.It may be simple thing like soap, moisturizers, biscuits, chocolates etc. But not somthing expensive.

We bought those Tv trays the ones that can raise up to the right height that are white because we looked all through the stores for good sturdy trays that were not expensive. I also bought some hair removal stuff that works quite well. I usually do not pay attention to the infocommercials unless it is something that I intended to buy, but what was not available until now. I have not tried the Sham Wow, and I have not tried the thing for the calluses for your foot (sounds a bit too painful( and when I was at Zellers, there it was, but I did buy those plant globes and it saved them from dying. So it depends on whether we need it or not.

I love the slap Chop commerical. If I needed to chop veggies I would definitely get it. the latest commerical that made me want to buy an item was the Craftsman elctric hammer. This marvel hammers in nail even when you use it upside down.I love power tools and this would be great to have.I have seen many a commerical that made me want to buy the item. Usually it is a great deal at a restaurant or a new cleaning item. I got my Swifter Wet Jet because of a commerical.

I have never been sucked into buying an informercial item or anything really. The only thing that really sticks out that I saw on a commercial and looked for because of it, and it's kinda silly. Is the Scrubbing Bubbles toilet gel. I'm a super clean person and since i'm only 22 I have this thing about always keeping our apt clean because being young people expect you to live a crazy, cluttered messy life, which I hate. My boyfriend has 3 brothers and lots of friends who were constantly coming over and I felt like instead of cleaning the toliet once a week I was doing every other day with all the boy traffic. So when I saw this thing I thought it was awesome that I could just stamp the gel and help keep it keep and smelling fresh (I refused to buy the bleach/blue toliet tabs, the smelled awful and just hated them!) I have been in love with this thing since. LOL. So it sound silly but I saw the commercial and bought it! Now I just stamp my toliet with the gel once a week and it stays clean!

Yes, I mostly get attracted by some food products, the way the commercials describe how delicious they are and how wonderful they look like make me really want to buy it!

I like many commercials of Coca-Cola. There was a commercial where a girl was singing a heart-warming song while walking to people and then giving them cokes. It was very creative. Anyway, even if I hadn't seen that commercial I'd still buy a coke because I just love it.

yes i do see a lot of fascinating advertorials on television which are quite compelling and i have tried some products through such advertorials and they have proved to be exactly what i saw, i have bought some food items in the past as well as some electronics which i have viewed on advert and they prove to be very much ideal

The "blanket" you guys are talking about is called a "Snuggie" My aunt got me one for Christmas last year. It's pretty nice in the winter. LOL not that I use it much but it even has pockets on it. I typically do NOT buy things on infomercials or comercials... I'm cynical by nature and so I don't care how good it looks on TV it's crap till I see it work for awhile LOL.

Commercial is great way of reaching lots of people when marketing products. Now, I am fed up with it. When ever I put on my TV it is every where, in every chanel and even in the radio. I just hate it, I hear the same thing every where, about every thing. My son once said, you should not beleive in everything you see, the things that are said about stuff is just a way of having you to by it. I do not go for it. But, if there are things I already know about, and I know exist but usually are to expensive to have. And I hear in those commersials are reduce prices, then I would consider it. But not for trying it out. Never.
