Lammycat Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 That article sells itself! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mrs. Peel Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Read the article within the next 20 minutes, because it won't be there all day..... I've had a weird affinity for that guy ever since I first saw the ShamWow commercial. Good for him. It takes a lot of guts to stand up to the CoS. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KevinG Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 great story. but the "article" was poorly written. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bjorn_skurj Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I was not really wowed by the ShamWows, but good for this dude for standing up for himself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 The SlapChop ad is so much better than the ShamWow ad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bjorn_skurj Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 If I had not been so un-wowed by the ShamWow, I would totally buy the Slap Chop. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mrs. Peel Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 It's only on 1/100th of the times the ShamWow ad is on around here, so I can't recite it as well as the other. There's one thing that totally bothers me about the ShamWow ad. When he pours the soda onto the piece of rug it leaks out into a pool underneath. But when he says "we're gonna do this in real time" they cut back to the rug and there isn't any soda on the table anymore. Not like I'm expecting truth in advertising but it's so blatant. That and when he puts the thing over his mouth when he says "this lasts 10 years...." so yo know that's not what he originally said. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moe_Syzlak Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I'm not sure if it was actually the ShamWow or if it was one of those imitators Vince warns about, but a friend of mine ordered it and gave us a couple. It was essentially a piece of felt that not only did not make me say "wow!" it didn't really absorb at all, merely pushed liquid around. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mrs. Peel Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Darren: Lot of people say you used a different carpet for the cola experiment. Did you? Vince: We poured too much cola on it the first time and it looked messy, but that Quote Link to post Share on other sites
