Cross Crunch Infomercial Review

CROSS CRUNCH: Infomercial Review

Sigh. I guess I have to go watch the commercial for the CROSS CRUNCH exercise device again. They gave me 45 seconds to call and get this great deal on the product...and started this little timer. I didn't make it to my phone in the 45 seconds. Time ran out. But hey, I was watching it on the computer, so brilliant guy that I am, I'll just restart the video and give myself another 45 seconds! Bet they never thought of THAT loophole!

Cross Crunch is one of the few exercise products I've actually decided to order. It looks great. Especially the part where they say you can exercise while watching TV. Hey, that's what I do best.

“12 to the left and 12 to the right and you're done in 90 seconds!” That's what they claim about Cross Crunch. But to be honest, it would take me 90 seconds just to get out of my chair to go get the Cross Crunch. They might have to adjust it to “done in 90 minutes” for me.

At first the announcer said I can have this for two payments of $29.99 each. “But wait!” he said. Don't worry.....I was waiting. There's always a “But wait, there's more” moment, so I already knew. I waited and he told me, because I'm such a nice guy, he's going to make one of the payments for me. Now it's only ONE payment of $29.99. And I appreciated that so much that I'm tossing in the extra penny to make it an even $30.00. I'm just that kind of guy.

Two things I don't get about the commercial: 1) Why does everyone smile while exercising? Why does everyone in EVERY exercise commercial smile? I never smile when I exercise. It has something to do with the intense pain. 2) Why is it when they show women using the Cross Crunch, they show real people, but when they needed to show a guy, they used a computer animation? Are we just theorizing that at some time a guy might actually want to use the product?

We'll I'll show you. I'm a guy and I plan to order and use the Cross Crunch. Then you can show ME on your next commercial. You'll just have to help me off the couch.
