I finally got tired of my wife asking me to "watch this commercial," so I finally agreed, in the middle of a HOUSE marathon. It's the commercial for POWER JUICER EXPRESS, which as the name implies, is a super-deluxe juicing machine that makes it quick and easy to get all the juice out of any fruit or vegetable you ram into it.
My big complaint with the commercial: They try their best to make me feel OLD for even considering buying it. First, they start with the question, "Are you tired, listless, lacking energy?"
Well, I wasn't until you mentioned it. Thanks for calling my attention to how tiring middle-age can be.
Then they point out that this is a product endorsed by Jack Lalanne. You remember, he was the energetic guy who showed you how to do all these exercises on TV--back in the 1960s. The guy must be pushing 90 now, and though he looks great for his age--come on, how energetic can you be at 90?
Still, I'll admit one thing: The people in the commercial look like they're about to collapse and like they're plum miserable. At least Jack still has a smile on his face. Yes, a smile. I think about that as I see the grumpy expression on my wife as she cleans up my coffee spill. And I think to myself--maybe a juicer is just the thing for her.
That's when I ordered the Power Juicer Express.
It really is as easy to use as the commercial says. And I've drunk juice I never even thought of (Although not my idea, my wife somehow managed to create and force me to drink cucumber juice). So I'm pleased with the product. But it still has never given my wife that happy grin of Jack Lalanne. Maybe the next infomercial...
