as seen on tv

Being a pop culture junkie, I watch a lot of TV. Where would I be without reruns and retro commercials? But television is also a great place to find cool new Things. You can click here to see our entire stock of As Seen On TV Things, but here are a few of my personal favorites.

Protect your eyes with the Eagle Eyes® Sunglasses that were developed by NASA. They block all harmful blue, violet and ultraviolet light. You can actually see better with these glasses whether it's sunny, smoggy, hazy, or even overcast. They're polarized, so they're great for water sports and they weigh almost nothing.

I love new exercise gadgets, especially since I get bored with working out. The Ab Scissor machine is perfect for me. It's easy to use, the workout doesn't take a lot of time and you don't have to worry about pulleys and weight stacks. Plus, you can't do it wrong because the machine puts your body in the right position to work your stomach muscles. There are lots of Things from TV to help your health, like these Verseo Detox Pads, which contain an ancient herbal remedy that is said to draw toxins out of your body just by putting them on your feet at night. I admit I was skeptical, but I tried them out and I can say this: when you wake up, you'll be shocked at what the pads draw out of your body while you sleep.

Leverage is everything when you're trying to lift heavy Things. I should know—my sister thinks the main reason I exist is to lift and move Things around her house. I tried out these Forklift Straps last week when she wanted me to move some file cabinets. They really do make lifting and moving a lot easier and I didn't strain my back for a change! Of course, since I moved the cabinets, she wanted me to move her pictures and a couple of shelves, too. I tried out these Hercules Hooks because she has some pretty big picture frames and a shelf that is so heavy it was almost falling off the wall. I'm impressed with how strong they are, especially since you install them without hammers or drills. But I didn't do all the work. She helped out—she installed a Handyswitch™ all by herself. It gives you a light switch anywhere you want it without rewiring.

For fixing Things, try out our Mighty Putty epoxy. It seals leaks, fills cracks and works on almost any surface. You just mold it to the shape you need and then activate it. You can even sand and paint it when you finish your repair. For cleaning up, you have to try the reusable ZorbEEZ™ cloths. The amount of liquid they can absorb is really amazing. Like paper towels, they're made for household spills, but when was the last time you were able to dry your dog with a paper towel? For the car, we have this Simoniz Fix It™ Scratch Repair. I tried it on my car, which is white, and my dad's truck, which is blue. It's easy to use and it really works.

Finally, we found these little household helpers. The One Touch Can Opener opens any can, cutting the lid off from the side so there are no sharp edges. You just put it in place and press a button. And with the One Touch Jar Opener you can finally open jars without a struggle. The outer jaws clamp onto the jar while the inner jaws grab the lid and twist it loose. What's really cool is they both work automatically. Look, Ma! No hands!

See you next week,
