As Seen on Feeling a ‘Lil Bloggy

The worst way to sell me a product: place the "As Seen on TV!" logo right on the box. What is the strategy here? If it was on TV it must be good. Here is a list of things seen on TV:

1) Obamacare

2) Hitler (See #1 [JK calm down crazy])

3) Lifetime original movies

4) "I'm not a doctor, but I play one on TV"

5) Hurricane Katrina

6) Pedophiles on "To Catch a Predator with Chris Hansen"

7) The Yankees

8) Batman and Robin

'K you get the idea. Also there is a stigma in my brain closely associated with crazy sales people (HI! BILLY MAYS HERE! ON OXYCOTTON!) and products sold on infomercials. To purposely link the product in question with the widely clichéd and pathetically obvious sales approach is a big mistake. Wait there's more! What a surprise. . . . But it is nice to have a tip off warning me not to purchase said gimmicky item off the store shelves.

"You'll say WOW every time."

"You know the Germans make good stuff." (See #2)

The item we made an exception for: the PedEgg. If you don't know what the PedEgg is, it is basically a cheese grater for feet shaped like an egg for some reason (if you like scrambled eggs then you'll love this!). Rachel wanted one to make her statuesque feet smooth as a baby's buttocks. It works well as far as we can tell.

Bad sales approach on my part: she asked if it would hurt. I said (thinking back to the informative-commercial and the smooth talking packaging), "they use it on a balloon."

"No! I hate balloons!"

For complete reasoning why that was a terrible attempt at comforting Rachel please refer to Irrational, as seen on Rachel's blog in her own words. Anyway, now you know you can buy a PedEgg with confidence knowing you've seen it on Feeling a 'Lil Bloggy.
