I have heard that Nad's makes a tasty snack spread on some wheat toast.

As tempted as I sometimes am to purchase things from the likes of Vince -- whose nuts I'm sure I would love -- I always wait until the items show up on the shelves of Walgreens before taking the plunge. I've certainly spent enough wee hours of the morning enduring endless infomercials simply because there was nothing else on TV at the time. To be honest, those Magic Bullets look amazing.

My guess is that they fall apart after two omelets.

But I digress.

I did once invest in some Nad's. I saw it at Walgreen's and thought, "Hey, not having to deal with leg hair more than once a month would be awesome!" So I bought some. Sure, it works. The only problem is that I forgot something about myself as I was lost in my "as seen on TV" euphoria. (Brace yourself for some TMI...) I don't bare my legs. They're white as the driven snow, and do not respond positively to sunlight. Thus, I already don't worry about my leg hair more than once a month. Total waste of money.

I never tested the theory, but I have heard that Nad's makes a tasty snack spread on some wheat toast.

I also own a Spin Spa. Given that I usually only have five or ten minutes for my entire shower routine, I haven't often taken the time to prepare the pumice attachment and exfoliate my feet, or put soap in the scrubbie attachment to exfoliate elsewhere. But I knock it off it's little hook almost every day. I guess that's how it reminds me that it's there.

Remember those storage bags you could put your clothes in, zip shut, and squeeze the air out of to compress and vacuum-seal your belongings? Yep, got those, too. I saw that at some point they made a variety that you actually hooked your vacuum up to, and I hope they worked better that way, because to matter how hard I tried to emulate the simple "press and roll" method of getting the air out of the enormous ziploc baggie, it never quite got things squished down to nothing the way they did in the commercials. Smaller, sure. Not microscopically thin. And if you can't make a wool sweater flatten to a thickness less than 1/4", what's the point?

Those suction hooks where you just flip the hinged hook part down and they're magically stuck in place? Got 'em.

And those magic closet organizers that hold a metric crap ton of hangers on little hinged plastic arms? Got those, too.

The hooks work great. The closet thingies less so.

However, despite the lackluster track record of infomercial products, I'd still be absolutely willing to shell out however much it costs to get one of those Tassimo coffee machines. Those look like heaven.
