"Buyer beware" is a mantra
that customers would do well to remember.

Here are our picks
for another top 10 ridiculous
infomercial products.

For this list,
we're looking at even more crazy infomercial products.
If you don't see one
you thought would be here
be sure to check out our first list on the topic.
Though dog waste might seem like little more than an inconvenience
it can contain bacteria and parasites
which if exposed to the eyes can result in blindness.
Meaning that when you don't pick up after your dog,
you expose others to more than
just some poop on their shoes.
PooTrap is a product with good intentions,
but an incredibly bizarre execution.
You strap a brightly-colored harness
onto your dog's rear with a tiny bag attached,
so that the poo will go straight into the bag
without you having to actually pick it up,
nice and simple!
But unfortunately it's simply too odd for most people
and probably dogs as well.
If you frequently find yourself frustrated
by your car's cup holders,
both the space they offer and the number of them available,
fret no more because Car Valet
is here to help.
This product is basically just attachable cup and other accessory holders
but while it's a pretty good idea
the way it's advertised leaves much to be desired.
In the infomercial,
we see people dropping all kinds of stuff.
At one point a woman who's talking
animatedly on the phone drops the device
but luckily Car Valet is there to catch it!
It just feels like a stretch.
Think of it like a wonder bra, but for... your butt!
Booty Pop is advertised
as being "push-up panties"
designed to make your butt "pop"
no matter what you're wearing, to help raise your confidence
and make you look good.
Despite this being a product that some women would surely buy
the commercial is downright patronising
claiming the only thing women care about when buying a pair of jeans
is how their backside is gonna look.
It also implies that Booty Pop
is used by celebrities
though, they never actually name these alleged users.
Hollywood's hottest new trade secret indeed.
While some infomercial products
are genuinely useful and ingenious, this is not one of them.
It's about as novelty-minded as you can get.
Talking TP is a toilet roll holder
with a built-in speaker and microphone so you can record a message on it.
It will then trigger every time somebody takes some paper to wipe with.
This would obviously be terrifying in the middle of the night
or if you're a guest in somebody else's house.
What makes it even weirder
is the example recordings used in the commercial
and the uproarious laughter they'll supposedly inspire in bathroom visitors.
This product aims to eliminate
the problem of having your hot dogs rolling around on the grill
or falling onto the ground
when you're trying to cook them
by creating a monstrous 7lb, 16" hot dog.
The makers recommend that
you chop the massive dogg into hot dog patties
before trying to cook it.
For the moment,
let's just forget the fact that
it's obviously easier to just buy burgers
if you're going to slice them into that shape.
Instead, let's bask in the glory of this commercial,
which is one of most surreal infomercials you're ever going to see.
But the craziest thing of all?
One of these costs just $170.
If the talking toilet paper wasn't enough ridiculousness,
you can now buy your own very miniature golf set
to put on the floor in front of you.
This is advertised as being a way to help you practice your putting
and uses the same fake green as real golf courses do
though on a real golf course
you probably won't be trying to use
the bathroom at the same time!
Unfortunately, the Potty Putter raises more problems than it solves.
Mainly the question
is whether you set it up permanently
or do you only take it out whenever you need to go?
This commercial was deemed so shocking and inappropriate
that the network running it
had to pull it shortly after it first aired.
Doc Bottoms Aspray is the world's first "all over" deodorant
but the infomercial doesn't play around
when it comes to describing exactly which areas
those problem smells arise from.
It targets specific "odor zones",
including "pungent pits," "foul feet," and "beastly butt odor."
The entire commercial is offensively over-the-top.
Does it work?
We honestly don't know,
but the branding and marketing certainly doesn't do much
to endear it to mainstream consumers.
If you thought the Shake-Weight
was the most suggestive infomercial product out there
you're sorely mistaken as the Free Flexor has more than earned that title.
It's called the world's first flexing dumbbell
but all it appears to be is two circular weights
on either end of a stick.
Apparently waving this ball-stick around
will guarantee you get ripped.
Unfortunately, various fitness professionals disagree with these claims
stating that the Free Flexor is most likely nothing more than a gimmick
albeit a very sexual gimmick.
If you really want to get buff
like the guys in the ad,
a gym membership seems like
a much wiser investment.
This device looks more like it belongs
in a dental clinic
than as part of your daily beauty/fitness regime.
Advertised as a product that gives you a "natural face lift",
the Facial Flex is almost as odd
as the reactions of the woman
trying it out in the infomercial.
And yet, there are reportedly
many people who swear by
the Facial Flex's positive results.
A similar device is the Neckline Slimmer,
a very unusual gadget promising to tighten your jawline,
and take years off your appearance
by having you repeatedly push your head against it.
They say that beauty is pain
but this stuff looks like downright torture.
For any sci-fi writers who predicted a dystopian future
in which tv replaces social interaction,
TV Hat was exactly the nightmare
they were worried about.
It's a visor with a very long cap
that you can put your phone inside,
creating a portable movie theater
perfect for blocking out the rest of the world.
It even includes a custom lens to make the display bigger
and is shown as an alternative
to the expensive VR gaming systems currently on the market.
While watching things on your phone hands-free is a nice idea
anyone who actually wears a TV Hat will never live this down.
