"...more hilarious and quite questionable inventions that were sold to men. The funny thing about these products is that most are advertised with a money back guarantee. It makes me wonder how these companies ever made money...."

Remember Obama has now put a TAX on this wonderful prostratitis cure device...
you might say that this is one of his principle accomplishments in office
(other than springing his Muslim Brotherhood and Al Quaida terrorist friends or whatever....on half the world...through billions of dollars of our tax money and lots of weapons, plus using our great US military and intelligence assets to overthrow regimes to install IslamoNazi terrorists into power)
I’ll let you tell us where this device goes.
They are called Earth Shoes. I had a pair when I was a teenager and they did not cause people to become Obama voter, but they did create extra large calf muscles.
Get you this, tho. < |:(~
LOL!
Hey I tried that! The chicken is small but it is excellent!
Anyone remember all those Ju-Jitsu-Karate-Yubiwazi self defense adds from the 1960s?
How about those adds teaching what is now known as the Tratchenberg system of speed math.
They lifted Tratchenberg’s system and printed their own book W/o giving Trachtenberg the credit.
Then there were the gun adds. An Enfield pistol for 19.95! Order by mail, Shipped directly to you!
Then there was the “I’D LIKE TO GIVE THIS TO MY FELLOW MAN, WHILE I AM STILL ABLE TO HELP!” adds. Lots of hype but they didn’t say what the product was. I later found it was a rubber stamp business.
Then there was the adds in which you could start your own business of selling a smearless carbon paper. Come to find out, the ink was, I believe, made with Dioxin or PCB.
I have the Hello Kitty model.
You caught me there, I never tried it. It didn’t pass the visual test for me. Maybe I will order one, and try it out. I like making my chicken sitting on top of soda cans with water on my grill though.
Mark Morford probably has a case of those things.
I seem to remember having a pair of those back then.
Is Mark Morford still alive? His stuff used to be posted here fairly often. We liked his purple prose!
I’m a multi-millionaire who made my fortune from the advertised squirrel lamps..........Why is it being ridiculed?
I remember back in the 50s nearly every comic book had ads for a BB machine gun, X-Ray glasses, really cheap film projectors, and telescopes in which two kids discover a satellite and tell the local friendly general they have discovered it and he gives them a pat on the back or whatever.
Probably upset the ninnies.
That one looks pretty good to me.
I sent off for that, and all I got was a lousy squirt gun.
