People Will Buy It!

People will buy anything... what are you selling?

I'm constantly wowed by the commercials I see and that these products actually sell. I remember when I saw the snuggie and thought, 'who would buy that - it's a blanket?' But guess what? A friend bought one. Then I saw it, and now I want one too! (Nah, I'll live without.)

Then, a few weeks ago I saw the commercial for the Shake Weight... oh, my! I had to hit record on the DVR just to show it to my hubby because I knew he wouldn't believe me. If you've not seen this clip from Ellen, and need a good laugh, take a couple minutes and enjoy:



Now, I don't think I could even use it because I'd be laughing too hard to get my workout in.

Just goes to show. Build it, and they will come. Whether it's a perverted weight system, a blackhead extractor, or a Shoe Organizing Bed Skirt, (yes, it's real!) someone wants that idea you have.

Hey, and if you want to send them here, I'll review them for you on my blog...

  1. I was at Target the other day and TWO women came up and asked about Shake Weights (I had never heard of them)...they were sold out.

    Let's both invent something like that and hire domestic help!

  2. That was so funny! I have seen that commercial and I was dying when I saw it. Glad I'm not the only pervert, lol! This clip is perfect for my Video Thursday post! Definitely showing this next Thursday :)
