Satan Uses Infomercials to Pay His Bills

I believe Americans get duped into buying hordes of crap they see on TV infomercials through Satan's own subliminal messages. The inventors/marketers of these products use their wealth to finance Hell.  I mean, the heating bill there must be outrageous. 

Well, in my own way I've invested in some Hell stock.

I, too was once duped.  I was coerced into spending $50 for a product on TV that was only supposed to be $19.95 plus shipping and handling.  It was one of those battery-operated tweezer thingies.  I mean, it works okay, but no different from the manual pair of tweezers I got at the 99 Cents store years ago.  My husband still whines about "another one of my pointless purchases" every time he sees it.

And I've been eyeing Chaz Dean's Wen shampoo for months, but my thrifty-self just can't part with the $39.95 required for one bottle of shampoo. I don't have Alyssa Milano's bank account, so I guess I'll never have her hair.  When will he realize that budget-conscious housewives and middle-class Moms would be more likely to try his shampoo if was available at the local Target for around $10?

But I gotta tell you, recently my investment in Hell stock doubled.  I bought Perfect Tortilla Bowls.  The commercial really grabbed my attention- you can make your own perfect little tortilla bowls at home for a fraction of the cost of what they are in the supermarket.  Any they are baked, not fried so there is little guilt in eating one.  I mean, I love my taco salads!

And the price- way less than the Emjoi Tweeze.  It's true what the commercial says- they double your order, you get a recipe guide, and the Cut 'n Cup gadget!  All for under $20!

I'm sure that at some point they'll be for sale at Wal-mart in the As Seen On TV  isle.  That's where I found my Swivel Store spice rack.  Which I also love, by the way.  An item well worth the $19.95 plus tax, even my grumbling husband agrees as he ever-so-easily finds his barbecue dry rub.

But the Perfect Tortilla Bowls-  I just couldn't wait.  I had my credit card in one hand and the phone in the other so fast... and within a week they were waiting by my front door!

They work fabulously.  The recipe guides have some good ideas, too.  So don't be afraid to buy them!  You get four- that's right, four!- non-stick Perfect Tortilla bowls, 2 recipe guides and the Cut 'n Cup, for $10 plus tax, shipping and handling. 

I love them so much, I'm going to share one of my favorite recipes in the next post!

But I wonder, do people in Hell have perfect Alyssa Milano-like hair?
