Power Juicer Infomercial Review

I have had a juicer in the past and let me tell you, there are a whole lot of ways to make a nasty drink. I have seen several different infomercials for juicers in my day and all of them talk of the healthy and “Easy” way to get your days essential vitamins and minerals. I do agree with the healthy part. I don’t believe that just because of making my own juice I am going to be the 80 year old man running down the beach with a boogie board, but at least I wont be spending a lot of money on sugar filled drinks, however delicious they are.

Back to the point though. The most recent infomercial that I have seen related to juicers is the Power Juicer with its new sleek looking Stainless steel. The majority of the infomercial was concentrating on the making of juice and its health benefits. Great I say. That’s the reason I ever bought one. However, the one thing that they briefly touched on was the clean up. “Clean up is a breeze” they allege. Well, maybe I am just doing it wrong. You can’t just rinse it off. You have to wash it; otherwise it smells really bad in a few days. I made that mistake, and putting it in the dishwasher is exactly easy to do either.

Any who, I definitely recommend this product to anybody and everybody, especially parents with young kids. All too often parents are filling their children with sugar, and by making your own juice, at least your kids will be healthier.

Fruit Biotic Osteo: Informercial Review

Fruit Biotic Osteo: Informercial Review

All right. We’ve finally discovered what we are all lacking in our lives: FRUIT BIOTIC OSTEO! (Apparently the key to happiness).

I am pretty sure that the woman narrating the infomercial is moonlighting as a children’s librarian and/or children’s video voice-over gal. She is very concerned with our bodies and wants to help us achieve the ultimate healthy bod (you know, like the average American woman in the beginning of the commercial who just happens to be 6’ 3” and 112 lbs in a smart business suit with 3” stiletto heeled pumps—you know—just like you and me?).

One of the most important elements of this product though is not the seven full servings of fruits and vegetables that are consumed with one pill, but the addition of the “healthy” bacteria from the Bulgarian National Forest (I mean…Bulgaria? It’s not the first place that comes to mind when I think about state-of-the-art medical advances).

I digress…this “friendly” bacteria (considers itself outgoing, affectionate, and available for a casual coffee) is the original source of the world’s most effective pro-biotics…? OK…I think the unsaid component is that this vivacious bacteria is going to help you poop based on the serene forest clip art photography we are shown.

Another thing…the elderly couple in the commercial who are jogging are really happy! Now…happy is not mentioned by our soothing, feminine yet authoritative narrator as a side effect …but you should take a look at this mischievous couple! Whoo! They’re having a blast…I just hope they don’t slip and fall on some of the friendly Bulgarian National Forest bacteria.

All right, listen…I try to eat healthy…but really…how many of us actually get seven servings of fruits and vegetables a day? I would try this product based on the time and money I’d save at the grocery store and preparing food. Good Lord, I spend $50 a week on fresh fruits and vegetables and a third end in the trash can. Sign me up…and bring on that special Berry Antioxidant rich supplement that I get for free. I’m going to dissolve a tablet in my red wine tonight and get the ultimate antioxidant boost!

Tree Tomato Television Commercial Review

TREE TOMATO: Infomercial Review

I like tomatoes. I don't love tomatoes, but I do like them. If you've seen the new “Tree Tomato” commercial, you know that this –thing—is for people who love tomatoes. Personally, I'm good if I buy a large tomato each week. That works just fine for my bologna and cheese sandwiches (MMM-mmm,nothing beats, bologna, cheese, tomatoes, pickles and mayo).

But with this Tree Tomato, they're talking 180 pounds of tomatoes. They're talking a basket full each week. I can easily see rapid tomato overdose.

“MORE tomatoes?! Good Lord, no. Ok, just cram them into the refrigerator with the others. Be careful when you open the door, or they'll fall out all into the floor.”

Maybe you could start your own cable channel: “All tomatoes, All the time.”

Here's my problem with promoting a product that creates huge tomatoes like that: What do you do with a half-used tomato? Put it in the fridge ? Then you have dried tomatoes. So for me, one decent size tomato is fine

My girlfriend, though, thinks I'm nuts. “Put it in a baggie and then in the refrigerator,” she says. In fact, she's in love with the Tree Tomato, tomato addict that she is. She loves tomatoes in salad, on sandwiches, she uses it for chili, spaghetti sauce, makes her own tomato juice. And of course, Bloody Mary is her favorite adult beverage.


Never too many tomatoes for my girlfriend, which is why Tree Tomato is perfect for her. But I guarantee you, this summer, you should look for her. She'll be the one carrying a basket of huge tomatoes around town, asking, “Want some?”

Edible Arrangements: Infomercial Review

Have you seen that new “Edible Arrangements” product they've come out with? I saw the commercial and ordered it. Great product. Here's the concept: What if, instead of sending someone a bouquet of flowers, you sent them a bouquet of food. Fruit, mostly.

Like I said, great product...but I kept what the people were really thinking in this goofy commercial.
• Mom touches her daughter's cheek: “So the one time my selfish brat thinks to send “flowers,” she sends ones that she can eat.
• Same mother, same scene: “Sweety, I said 'fruit cake,' not 'fruit flowers.'
• Same mother, same scene: 'What, no prunes for Gramma?'
• Wheni the camera spans the table and shows us all the place settings: “Wait a second; there's only three in our family. Why have I set out 19 plates?”
• When we see the strawberries on the chocolate: “The fruit is for my mom who likes to stay in shape. The chocolate is for my dad, in honor of his fat butt.

And then there's the question I kept having as I looked at this pyramid of fruit: What about after people start eating it? When my girlfriend's flower bouquet starts looking ugly, she just throws it away. But doesn't this bouquet's beauty slowly and sadly fade?

Still, there's no denying that it makes a beautiful impact and it's delicious. I had no complaints when I got it for my girl.

But I licked all the chocolate myself.
