My favorite was the one where they were demonstrating some sort of hand held blender to thicken beverages with air. They kept saying, "Coming up, we'll be doing it to plain water!" I was excited to see what that would look like.. figuring it would be like some clear gel. And then the guy pours a glass of water and is like, "Just so everyone can see it, I'm going to add some coffee." I was only about 9... but even I could see the BS...

When I was a kid, maybe 10,11,12 I would stay up late and the only thing on tv was infomercials. Paid programming. I vividly remember this one . I was born in 1980 so I was roughly 10 or so the first time I saw this

I remember years later when Kevin Trudeau had this guy on one of his infomercials. No mullet by then.
1:42 I want Scott to tap into the power of that mullet !
Wow, they managed to parody this guy well in the live action Cat in the Hat right down to reproducing the patchwork sweater.
My grandpa bought this for me. I made the mistake of falling asleep listening to the cassettes a couple of times. For months, I could not get math problems to quit working by themselves in my head (which I did not initiate or enjoy, btw). I thought I was going to go insane or need professional help. It was really a low time for me. The silver lining is I got really good at math. True story.

Last time I watched this was in the 90s.. Thanks!
I so wanted this as a kid. It would have helped me so much. I managed to track down the original book online, though the audio transcripts of the cassettes (I threw away my cassette player a long time ago... I held onto it until 2015.) The book is interesting, although it serves no real purpose for me anymore. I guess I got some closure at last...

I remember this, as my math teacher try to re teach some of his technics, however I never got too much out of it, and still not good on basic calculation. But I am really good on High math, as they say those who can deal high math can't do basic math.

Imagine anyone believing that? Please link to one human other than you saying " those who can deal high math can't do basic math."

As what Spice Girl Emma Bunton might say on this infomercial, I refuse to believe this because that is the most absurd infomercial I ever saw in my entire life. This however is as difficult thinking someone is smarter than a 5th grade. A bunch of big fat lies to me all the time.
