Rye Miles #13621 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 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 Share Posted January 2 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." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three Foot Johnson Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackwater 53393 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 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 Share Posted January 2 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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."

Cypress Sun Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 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!

Singin' Sue 71615 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
