Infomercials in Chicago

I'm sure I've mentioned how I sometimes stay up really late and watch infomercials because I can't sleep. I'm also sure that some former housemates of mine know that sometimes I voluntarily watch infomercials such as the Magic Bullet and Dr. Ho during the day because I just...like to...Anyway, I came across some choice ones that I thought I'd share.

1. The Ped Egg. I actually bought this because after watching the commercial so many times, it just made sense. Amazingly, it actually works and my feet are no longer sharp.

2. Model trucks. I can't find the exact link for this one but it was for little model trucks that were all painted and had moving parts like a trunk and doors. It's bizarre that adults even buy these but what is more strange is that they come with a certificate of authenticity...Why? Are the authenticity police going to ask for your proof? Will friends judge you if you buy non-authentic toys? And authentic of WHAT exactly? Moving on...

3. Commemorative $20 bill. This one is the best, not only because it's absolutely tasteless but because I have a link to their website that shows the infomercial! Just...just watch: http://www.911twenty.com/
