Buying products on teleshopping channels

Scanlas The 2nd

I've never bought anything yet from these channels but the H20 mop has caught my interest. The acting is so ridiculous I have never seriously considered buying anything as it seems so taccy. So have you ever bought any products from teleshopping channels?

Biggins

No. Not ever.

Karona

My mother only has to see an ad for her to go out and buy it. Even if she has no use for it. :rolleyes:

Anything from those will have the build quality of a Swiss Roll

it was cheap cause Coca Cola subsidised the price in return for it spamming 'cola' around the place

I did about 10 years ago, I bought the Titanium 2 knife set when I was drunk one night.I saw the guy on the telly sawing through marble with the bread knife and thought "I need that",obviously because I saw through marble everyday :pac:

The steak knives were good but the rest of the knives were shít, I have a hammer that's sharper than the carving knife, it should've been called the "squashing knife"

Weird, I just mashed the keyboard and that came out. My subconscious must be telling me I'm thirsty.

My dad wanted to buy those knives, I had to talk him out of it.

Bought one of exercise machines. Works on electronics and is supposed to stimulate your abs by delivering mild electric current through pads

Piece of **** and downright dangerous too

Lucky you did, they're cheap shít thrown together and very light so there's no weight behind the knife for carving.They're made out of plastic and aluminium with titanium coating.

I have the H20 mop. It does the Job

Has anyone ever found a use for anything marketed by JML, and if they have, has it lasted more than five seconds?

That H2o Mop has caught my eye also.

I watched the 1743 times now and I think I may just purchase that bad boy.

The make a spongy thing that cleans marks off of things. It resulted in a nice clean looking kitchen wall for me - it lifted the paint right off and I had to repaint the whole wall :eek:

I would have kicked up a complaint but it would have meant admitting that I'd bought the thing in the first place and I couldn't live with the shame...

Biggins

Its one thing to ring up the ESB or someone in a business I know and trust all the time, to to ring up a random call desk and pass on my full credit card details - that I'm very weary of.

When the ad says "NOT AVAILABLE IN SHOPS" ,there's a good reason for that!!

KungPao

I always wanted to get the Penali Pen. There are many times when I wish I had bought it...especially when trying and failing to write upside down or trying to use a standard pen as a dart.

And my biro just refuses to pass through a aluminium can :mad:

Taste good but build quality bad

I want that bullet blender. So many cocktails could be made!:)

the groutch

my favorite was the Turtle Wax polish one from the 90's, with the 4ft tall British guy

I want that yoke Duncan Stewart used be on the ad for, Quick Brick or something was the name of it. It was for spreading concrete when laying blocks. Actually very good.

jimmycrackcorm

I would like to get the h2o mop but then I'd have nothing to look forward to when watching tv at night.

The thing is at any given time there are over 100 of these channels broadcasting to the UK/Irish market alone.

There must be loads of people buying this tat for these channels to be commercially viable :eek:
