ok I will admit it. I bought the potato gloves. Only to find out you have to parboil the potatoes first. what a waste of money.
Space saver bags never stay air tight.
But I love the Magic Bullet. It makes great shakes.
And I love the Sham wow. yeah that's right I love it. My friend split soda on my new carpet and it actually worked. It also got fruit punch up without staining.

Those dryer balls! Didn't soften the clothes or eliminate static!



Yes! I got them as a gift, but still - it was a waste of money.

My mom buys everything they sell on tv !!! Chat Icon Chat Icon

She bought me those Huggable Hangers and my DH hates them. We've snapped so many Chat Icon

The Revlo hair brush thing was awful too !! But I have the InStyler and I really like it !!

My friend has a Snuggie and i was so shocked to see it was just a backwards robe - so dumb.

hate Space Bags. I know people swear by them, but a month into storage, they always have air in them and are big again.

ETA: I think it was called Revo...the rotating blowdryer brush???

My hair always got caught in the ends



Yes!! Those space bags blow!!!!! and Revo, my God I actually had to cut my hair it got so tangled in that stupid thing.

Let me also add the big city slider grill. Takes more than 8 minutes to cook the burgers evenly, full of grease, spatters everywhere and a bit$h to clean

The Pet-icure. Such a waste. It is so much easier to clip my dog's nails with an old fashion nail clipper than it is to have him squirm bc he hates the noise and the vibration of the Pet-icure.

Ab Belt (remember, the little electric shocks were supposed to work out your abs). I got a burn from it!

Did anyone buy those bra strap things that bring them closer together on your back into more of a racerback shape?

I used to get these from Lillian Vernon or one of those old-farty catalogs Chat Icon They were great, my bra straps always fall down.

I love the green bags!

MY husband's cats aren't too fond of the peticure either! He can usually get 1 or 2 nails done but that is it! Their nails are so uneven now lol
