Looking ahead on the schedule I see that IW have their Two Tub Shadazzle back as Pick of the Day again!
Aside from the fact that this product is over hyped and that Astonish paste which is its equal is currently available in your favourite brand of pound store it always occurs to me how any channel really can demonstrate a cleaning product be it chemical, non chemical, steam etc etc. Making an item 'dirty' in such a way that a live demonstration makes it appear that the product is some form of miracle is a skill in itself. Perhaps we all have to be sucked in once before we realise that what they have mocked up as 'baked on' is nothing like the reality of your oven door, your pan base, your bbq grill, your shower screen etc etc.
So still these products, of which Shadazzle is just the current worst example, are hailed as something wonderful until the customers feedback and reviews is accepted as the reality. I have no doubt that these products are selling in their millions but I would suggest that the significant number is how many purchasers are going back for more.
So brace yourself for this evenings screamings of Genevieve - or better still turn to the dullest shopping television experience which is the Rocks and Gold Outet - 'This is nice; tanzanite; at cost; sold' repeat!!
