Facebook sponsored adverts - anybody ever bought the products?

Just curious. I'm thinking of things like The Oodie, or the weighted blankets, or those super-powerful shower heads. I've thought about treating myself to an Oodie for the winter, but they seem expensive for an oversized hoodie. So Boardsies, have you ever bought a Facebook-advertised product that you had never heard of…

So Boardsies, have you ever bought a Facebook-advertised product that you had never heard of before? How did it work out for you, worth it or not?

Generally I have never bought anything as a result of an internet advert. Firstly my devices are ad-blocked up to their eyeballs and if they do get through I avert my eyes to them. Life is too short be watching adverts.
