Re: The Top Ten Worst Infomercial Products

It's not really for fat folks as much as it's for arm/shoulder mobility. Have rotator cuff surgery and you'd probably think it's a gift from the gods.

Another major problem is that the porta potties used in medical/rehab make it difficult due to the small seat and most don't want the patients to stand and reach behind without assistance due to liability if they fall. Would you want to wipe your ass while some dude/chick is holding/supporting you?

It's funny because The Snuggie has and continues to make tons of money.

You can buy extra big porta potties and riser seats for your standard toilet.

You can also buy size and a half chairs.

Here are a couple pictures of products for reaching your ass.

One bends and the other includes a release device so you don't have to touch the used toilet paper.

I believe the inventor was in his 20's when he hit it big with it. They used to have a show about how people made their millions of dollars.

This is the guy I was thinking of:

And, apparently, there was a version before the one we know and love:

Re: The Top Ten Worst Infomercial Products

the snuggies are okay. but i dont think id ever need the extension, the hair paint or the pottie golf putter. I never use paper to wipe my other end when im done. i always use soap, water and soft pranella towels after every "that".

Re: The Top Ten Worst Infomercial Products

The fucking Snuggie sells out here all the time. It makes me laugh seeing how many new designs they release each year.

That's because most Americans like to think they're like everyone on the commercials! So stupid! Anything to jump on some bandwagon.

I keep a beige one in my car because it matches the interior, but, it was a knockoff. I babysit and they are good for wrapping up children, and they do have child size ones now.

Well it matched my car until I totaled it last night!
