Would love to know the demographic of people that regularly buy this stuff they hawk? I am trying to design the imaginary image of a typical buyer of theirs? Male and female ones..

Ghastly lumber cushions. Surely it should be lumbar, unless they are meant for the wood cutting market. 🤣

Oh it might be. I can see Pedro as a lumberjack.
The Monty Python kind…

Altogether now…
I'm a lumberjack and I'm OK
I sleep all night, I work all day

I cut down trees, I eat my lunch
I go to the lavatory
On Wednesdays I go shopping
And have buttered scones for tea

I cut down trees, I skip and jump
I like to press wild flowers
I put on women's clothing
And hang around in bars

I cut down trees, wear high heels
Suspenders and a bra
Wish I was a girlie
Just like my old Papa!

Morning world, I've just watched a programme on my catch-up feed called " The dark side of the 90's, infomercials: shams and scams " about the early days of infomercials and shopping telly, you know the cheap gadgets, miracle cures, cleaning products etc, like setting a car bonnet on fire, they were all the go in the 80's on US tv. It was like watching ideal world all over 😁. It was very eye opening how a lot of these presenters and "experts " made a fortune. A few ended up in jail too, but it was/is a lucrative career. If you get a chance to watch it, please do.
Thanks for getting this far 😁

I’m sure David Ades used to do the ‘car bonnet on fire’ thing on selly telly over here. Used a mini’s bonnet, from memory…

Welcome back to all the saddo’s on here who watch IW!
Yes we are sad but it has a purpose. We see all the deception/sales tactics..’if you will’
And it lightens the day to have a jolly good laugh. It’s like watching Monty Python at times as it just makes no sense and is surreal…I only dip in and out like the rest of us(shows how poor telly is these days).
Coming up…a badge for Peter…View attachment 29971

Does he have a fwend ?
And what might her name be?
….🤣

 

[Professor Branestawm]

Yes. Remember the reviews that they did juice quickly but were absolute bastards to clean. The cost of the sheer volume of fruit needed to make a glass of juice was astronomical. Cheaper to buy good quality fruit juice from the supermarket.
No I didn’t buy one as I’d rather just eat the fruit.

I had one, and you are right, they weren’t easy to clean. They were very, very good juicers though. I’d had others previously and they just weren’t as good. My favourite juice was apple, carrot and ginger. Mmmm.
🤣

I had my Covid and flu jabs yesterday so I feel a bit rough with the side effects. Just changed channels and it was Sally so I turned back over to Judge Judy🤣. Hope you're OK Jazzy.

Well,here’s part of the demographic,all with their new purchases and probably all of Ideal Worlds viewers captured in one shot..Mavis,Betty,Gerald,Rod,Evelyn,Christine,Margaret,Gladys,Mavis again,Hammy,(sadly Muriel couldn’t make this group photo as she was too busy buying Ideal World”s terrific,fantastic,delightful,never to be seen again products).

Muriel has promised to join them for a photoshoot if she can get out as she is pretty much housebound now. Can’t move for air fryers,mattresses,rattan furniture,blue tooth headphones,Swan & Edgar watches…folks will be delighted to know that she has left everything to Peter and Mike of the Makesitupashegoesalong in her Will..

They will be chuffed I’m sure
