What have you bought b/c of a commercial?

[AKAK]

I like Krogers for the most part but when comparing their meat with Meijer's; Meijer's is just better. Krogers quality of beef is crap!

Olive Garden ads for the never ending pasta bowl, makes me want to go every time!

I think "sale advertising" is a bit differrnt than Gecko's selling car insurance.

As for you meat ad guys. Find a butcher.

Official Spiderman Web-slinger. The fucking thing cost me my whole allowance and didn't work at all.

Gatorade.

I bought the newer version of Gatorade (Endurance Formula?) when it came out because I saw the commercial for it, since it was supposedly created for endurance athletes (triathletes, etc.). Folanator's product is way better, though.

The only time I ever went out directly to by a product after seeing a commercial was when I saw a Big Mac commercial during a game, and right after the game I went to the McDonald's down the street to get one.

I saw a commercial for these, and they said if I bought them I would be able to swim, ride my bike, run through a field flying a kite and all kinds of fun shit. None of it happened. Do not buy this stuff it does not work!!!

Agree.

I bought a pot roast there yesterday and it tasted like rubber compared to the last one I got from Meijer.

Meijer has a really good grocery selection. I shop at the one in Lancaster.

Carfagna's up on 161 has the best meats in Columbus I think.

The only infomercial I've ever been tempted to act on, is the somewhat recent flashlight ads - the one that takes no batteries - just shake it to charge it up, and voila! I think it charges with a sliding magnet, or something. The kinetic energy provides enough juice to run the LED.

They look pretty slick, but I haven't gotten one yet...

As far as regular ads, I can't specifically point to any time I saw an ad and ran out and bought a product, but surely some of my weak fast food craving moments are due to the hundred of ads I've seen.

I wouldn't have known about Esurance.com if not for the commercials. I shopped around all of the car insurance companies that I knew about and they came in lowest. Same with Allstate and my homeowners insurance.

I have never bought the Little Giant Ladder, but I borrow one all the time. I have to admit it is freaking awesome. If my neighbor moves away, I may be forced to get one.

things get lost when people move... just watch for them to put it in the truck and go and grab it... he'll just asume it was the movers

I got one for XMas. They work, but they aren't very bright.

Faraday flashlights.

Why not just get a rechargable flashlight that you plug in to the wall?

A lot brighter than the Faraday flashlight.

I want one of those Dyson vaccum cleaners. Those things look cool. I'd also like to buy one of those Cold Heat soldering irons just to take it apart and figure out how it works.

 

[jwinslow]

not sure if I want one, but if I had to buy my future kid something for an NFL team, I'd definitely consider a fathead.

I have a Dyson, that thing really sucks. By far the best vacuum I have ever had.
