    How has Shamwow not been mentioned yet?

    The Clapper. I got one for Christmas as a kid. I freaking loved that thing.

    I got the clap around Christmas time.

    Oh, wait, that's not what you meant, is it?

    Astroglide. But it's better than the alternative.

    This ain't no gimmick! Tested and approved. :drinker:

    Oh, and I have a Healthrider which I never use...but it was free. Actually, I forgot, I gave it away when I moved last month. LOL

    I actually used it a lot at one time...and it helped me lose weight. But now I use my elliptical instead. I LOVE the elliptical. Best $120 I ever spent. I watch House of Cards or Dexter on Netflix while I work out....

    Ped Egg

    Trader Joe's cookie butter/cocoa swirl

    Mrs. Meyers cleaning products, soaps, etc...totally reel me in with their packaging & scents

    Apple products in general

    Tempurpedic. Long boring story about how I've now owned two, but it revulses me a bit to own a mattress worth more than the resale value of my vehicle. Still a dang comfy bed though.

    Fresh balls & Fresh breasts. Look em up I guess, I can't even get into explaining. My man was bought fresh balls for a gag gift a couple years ago, actually used it and loved it so much we've been buying the male and female equivalent since then (and also been giving them out as gifts for a laugh). With how much we actually like the product I do kind of hate the name, just for well being a tad blunt I guess.

    I had heard of these products, so I decided to look up the description for fresh breasts:


    Fresh Breasts® was scientifically created to keep you and your “girls” dry and unchafed so there’s no more of those uncomfortable and awkward arm-crossed encounters. Women can now rest easy; we’re replacing “swoobs” – dreaded boob sweat – with smiles!

    Applied as a lotion that quick-dries into a silky, clump-free powder, Fresh Breasts® can be applied as often as needed and is recommended as part of your daily routine. And, unlike most deodorants and powders, our natural scentless formula is free of all aluminum, parabens, and talc – just as nature intended.

    Welcome to The New Science of Dry.



    and this little bit in the description for Fresh Balls was amusing:


    Real men are made tough. They are designed to withstand pains that would make a weaker human crumble. Torn ACL? That’s what your right leg is for. Herniated disk? Don’t bend over. There is only one thing that can bring a man to a grinding halt. Ball sweat.

    Ball sweat and his close friends, ball itch, smelly sack and chafed horn have been slowing the progression of men – in and out of the bedroom – since the Romans eschewed tunics for pantaloons. Chemical ointments filled with lab potions, messy powders and embarrassing re-adjustments have long been the answer. However, Mother Nature hasn’t made a problem that science cannot solve – except for deadly hurricanes.

    Why not try Fresh Balls® today? Order now!

    I'd never heard of either product until that ^^ and until this ^ I seriously thought they were a meat company's brand of chicken breasts and meatballs.

    Yeah.

    Better than Nutella, and I'm not sorry for sayin' it. The cookie butter part is gingerbread, and they also sell it separately without the chocolate. The gingerbread idea turned me off of it until I tasted it. It's not what you'd expect.

    Does anyone have a Sticky Buddy? This comedic dub of a product actually made me want one.
