for me, it was the two-sided pancake pan. The one that was basically two silverstone frying pans connected by a hinge so that you didnt spill things when you flipped them....

They show the person burning cheese in it and "It slides right out!" No SHIT! there are 8 million non-stick products out there that do the exact same thing, with no monthly payments... Learn how to use a fucking spatula.


What kills me is the black and white "Dont you hate?" parts at the beginning of these commercials that have people doing things that a person with severe retardation would know better than to do.... Like frying eggs in a dry pan and trying to flip them with a fork...:rolleyes:


Or the commercials for that stupid chopper thing (you put it over whatever you want to chop and push down on the plunger, it spins and chops....) They have someone cutting on a board by pushing stright down with the knife and twisiting it to the side. If you cant operate a knife, you certainly should not be operating something as dangerous as a stove....


but dont worry! Ronco has a rotesserie which will make things easier for you!


and people wonder why Americans are so lazy and stupid. We have "easier" solutions for some of life's simplest acts...
