What is the latest thing you bought cause of an ad? The Circulation Booster was advertised

[applegrove]

on the tv. My dad had to have it. They sold it at the local pharmacy. You put your feet on it and, at the highest frequency, you can feel a little electronic tingle up your calves. It was expensive. But my dad believes in it so who am I to judge. It is basically a tens machine.

1. My premise is that pretty much all ads are snake oil - so I tend to NOT buy anything advertised!

(plus we mute the TV when they come on, stopped going to movies because of them, and I don't click on them!).

Yes...a militant non-ad person here!

2. My dad has been moved by mail order for a long time.

3. That shower foot scrubber thingy...

it has suction cups on the bottom, and some bristles on the topside, you can put some liquid soap on it, and run your foot through it a few times, and it cleans the bottom of your feet, and also gets in between your toes rather well.

4. I was slightly tempted by that

but they should make them in different colors, for different members of the family.

5. It sounds like a BS machine

6. We got a magic bullet years ago

Sad thing is, you couldn't get replacement parts. You had to buy an entirely new one.

7. The only things I buy because of ads are groceries.

Though I may have been influenced to upgrade my three year old i-phone by the ads.

I'm glad I did though. The new 4s is pretty cool and I sold my old phone for almost as much as the new one cost. I think I ended up spending about $15.00 after the dust settled.
