Rye Miles #13621 Posted January 2, 2023 Posted January 2, 2023 Have you seen these commercials about pots and pans, microwave bacon cooker, high powered flashlights etc etc? Now you’d better order now because they won’t be making them anymore due to supply chain issues! THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE so you better hurry!!’ What a bunch of horse poop!!
Subdeacon Joe Posted January 2, 2023 Posted January 2, 2023 My thought the first time I saw that hype was, "Ah! It didn't sell so they didn't make any more and now they're trying to move the last of their garbage."
Cypress Sun Posted January 2, 2023 Posted January 2, 2023 Yeah, I've seen them. There's a sucker born every minute.
Eyesa Horg Posted January 2, 2023 Posted January 2, 2023 Lifetime guarantee , although we won't have any cuz we're no makem anymore. Don't forget the fee for S&H
Three Foot Johnson Posted January 2, 2023 Posted January 2, 2023 I just picked up an electric dog polisher from ChumpCo for three installments of only $49.99 each, so they can't all be scams.
Texas Joker Posted January 2, 2023 Posted January 2, 2023 Do you polish the electric dog, or plug in the polisher?
Blackwater 53393 Posted January 2, 2023 Posted January 2, 2023 They remind me of a short story I read in high school!! When you have a few minutes, look up “Filboid Studge, The story of the mouse that helped” by Saki! It’s about a five minute read or you can listen to an audio version!
Big Sage, SASS #49891 Life Posted January 2, 2023 Posted January 2, 2023 I will not order anything advertised on TV with this type of promotion (don't order anything off tv ad period!) or facebook. My wife ordered several things that were absolute junk!
Rip Snorter Posted January 2, 2023 Posted January 2, 2023 Called a pressure close in sales. Professionals avoid the technique.

Maybe because it didn't generate an Alpoesque question that nobody else would think to ask.
Sedalia Dave Posted January 4, 2023 Posted January 4, 2023 Got this from my Grandson. Consider how many things just like this are made and sold every year.
Chickasaw Bill SASS #70001 Posted January 4, 2023 Posted January 4, 2023 sell the trash at a profit , CB
G W Wade Posted January 4, 2023 Posted January 4, 2023 Not the latest TV craze, but have had a Bacon Wow for many years. Family loves it, Fast, easy and not hard to clean. Similar to the one seen on TV. GW

They’ve never said due to supply chain problems etc etc. we will not be manufacturing anymore of these widgets. I’ve never heard this before!

I was thinking the same thing, but then I heard a commercial for a coin or maybe it was a figurine and the tout was using the line, "Order now, these will never be made again."

I’ve heard that too, but that’s been around with coins for awhile. They’re always coming up with new coins. Collectors love it !
Cypress Sun Posted January 4, 2023 Posted January 4, 2023 I didn't see any Chia Pets for sale this Christmas season, kind of odd I thought. The Hess trucks were back, even though there is no Hess stations around anymore...at least not here> The Hess truck's here and it's better than ever... Really? It's a plastic pos that any kid will destroy within a week. The gimmicks that sold the junk back when, are still used today. Hurry, call now before supplies are gone!!!

I seen several Chia pet commercials, I’ve seen them in a few stores as well. The difference now is they’re using the “supply chain “ excuse. We can’t get any supplies to make these anymore!
Matthew Duncan Posted January 5, 2023 Posted January 5, 2023 Order now and we will give you a second one…just pay separate handling and shipping.
Cypress Sun Posted January 5, 2023 Posted January 5, 2023 Just take as prescribed and you'll have the memory of a jellyfish for just $2.00 a day! Not available in stores, you can only get this through this direct tv offer, time is limited so act now. Operators standing by. Claims listed above have not be reviewed or approved by the FDA
Singin' Sue 71615 Posted January 5, 2023 Posted January 5, 2023 The newest hype...usually in womens fashions on FB is MADE IN CHARLOTTE,NC... They are pushing the made in America. BUT... Research and you see the items are NOT made anywhere in the USA. The pages are being run out of country. Unfortunately folks get scammed. I fell for it on boots one time. Got $40 of the $60 back...but paid $20 for $10 boots. Hmmm and ugh!
