Hahaha......yeah Jake, I fell for that one too.

That being said, I think ANYTHING sold on TV for $19.95 that has the announcer screaming "BUT WAIT, if you order now, you'll get...... "

Bottom line, if it was so great, it would be sold in stores. JMO

... BUT WAIT!!! They have stores now! Haven't you seen them? "As Seen on TV!" Mostly see them in outlet malls. Stuff still sucks. I bought the little battery operated hair trimmer in one of those stores. No torque in that little booger. Now I just use a small pair of scissors (nose hair sucks!)

I bought one of those Simonize® swirling wash brushes to wash my van. I figured it would be good in the winter time so I wouldn't have to use a bucket and sponge. Simonize had a good name, so thought maybe it was a decent product.

Well, the first time I used it, I bumped the plastic piece that holds the brush on. Evidently it was too cold, and the plastic got brittle. That SOB exploded, water went everywhere and I was soaked in the 30° air.

As you can expect, I wasn't happy, so took it back and got my refund.

One of those shake and light flashlights, the no batteries required one, chevrolet s dime, ronsonal lighter flints, a pack of swisher sweets. Those stand out in my mind right now.

One of those $5.00 car fans to use until the switch burns up from the cigarette lighter in the car.

Those electric superchargers on ebay can't do anything but waste your money as well.

Anything that doesn't have Made In USA on it can be potentially a bad product....I trust American made vehicles...lol..but i don't trust some of the foreign ones...
