As Seen On TV

I'm not one to watch QVC or the Home Shopping Network avidly searching for the perfect sandwich maker to end all of my sandwich-making-woes, or that heart shaped lab-created pink ice pendant that my jewelry collection is missing.

But, occasionally I do pass by these infomercial items at the local Target or Walgreens. While I haven't given in to the urge to get a Snuggie for myself and end my (evidently) frostbitten existence, I did pick up the Green Bags that I have heard make your produce last longer. As someone that doesn't go through mass quantities of food at one time (thank goodness) produce often goes bad before I can eat it all. So, I thought it was worth a try.

And the result?

They work. They actually work.

They are fantastic in fact.

I have had a bag of prepped lettuce in my crisper for over 2 weeks now and made a very fresh and mold-free salad last night. I don't know about you, but mold-free is a plus in my mind. So I would recommend getting them for yourself. Follow the instructions carefully since the produce needs to be dry when placed in the bag or it will rot as if there wasn't a magical green barrier lovingly wrapped around its leafy green goodness.

So, this has me wondering. What other "as seen on TV" products out there actually work and make life better?

I think if I could get past the awful commercials and the black and white comparisons, where people act as if they are on heavy doses of muscle-relaxants and trying to operate everyday items, I might actually be more likely to try them out.
