What's the Silliest Infomercial Product?

[GeorgiaGreek]

There used to be an infomercial for some hair styling tool that would put your hair into twists... it had 3 prongs and you'd put a little chunk of hair in each one and push the button and it would twist them.
Not only was the twisty look not even trendy, like the ad would insist, but I have enough tangles on my own; I don't need a machine to do it for me. That thing looked like a hair accident waiting to happen. There was also a similar product that put beads on little braids/chunks of hair. I wonder how many uses of that ended in Mommy taking a pair of scissors to little Suzie's tangled beaded wad of hair.

That hair twisting thing did look like a disaster waiting to happen.

The best EVER was a few years ago for a Pet Vac. I started laughing as soon as it came on, and by the time they were vacuuming the lady's jacket I was in tears. Let alone them VACUUMING the CAT in the commercial. I mean, how many kitty downers must have been used to vacuum a cat? One of the funniest things I've ever seen in my life!
