As Seen On TV

Save A Blade: Another brilliantly simple idea...if it works. I read some reports that it basically works, you can sharpen your razor to nearly brand new condition, but it is quickly dulled.
Sham Wow: my boyfriend was in love with these from the commercial, so I checked around online. Sure enough, most reviews say it's more like Scam Wow. They just don't work like they apppear to in the commercial!
Cross Crunch: I actually bought this one! It's an okay little workout device, but if you want the "guaranteed" results you have to not only use it , but also follow their diet plan. When you buy one, they offer a second free, but I passed because for each you have to pay shipping which was about the same as the price!
Aqua Globes: saw on TV, thought it was a brilliant idea. If it really works. I saw 1 in a yard and it looked kinda small. I read that they are small (only last a couple days) and have problems like getting clogged with dirt.

To invent, you need a good imagination and a pile of junk. (Thomas Edison)
Getting caught is the mother of invention. (Robert Byrne)
I don't think necessity is the mother of invention - invention, in my opinion, arises directly from idleness, possibly also from laziness. To save oneself trouble. (Agatha Christie)
We discover what existed before, but remained unknown; we invent by forming combinations which are either entirely new, or which attain their end by means unknown before. (Websters)
Out of every hundred new ideas ninety-nine or more will probably be inferior to the traditional responses which they propose to replace. (Will Durant)
