Thrift shops: where "As Seen on TV" products go to die

If you've ever wondered if you should go out and buy one of those Slap Chops you've heard so much about, I think I've got your answer.

Is it odd that this sight conjures up the lyrics of Weird Al "Help me, Mr. Popeil"? (The answer? No. There is never a wrong time for Weird Al song lyrics.)

 I feel a touch of hysterical laughter bubbling up as I realize this is but one thrift store's collection of these things.

    1. I think lowered expectations may just be the key to satisfaction where these are concerned.
