WOW STORAGE CONTAINERS: Infomercial Review


I love to build things as much as anyone. When I was a boy, my favorite toys were Legos and Lincoln Logs and Tinker Toys, because of how you could easily connect them and build things.

I guess the new WOW Storage Containers must be the Legos for housewives. At least, that's what I told myself the other day when I saw a counter FULL of WOWS at my mom's house. I knew what they were because I had already seen the commercial myself.

The concept behind WOW storage containers is simple: Like Legos, they are designed so that one container easily connects to another at the open "mouth" end. So for instance, if I want to store celery, one container won't be long enough, but if you make one the "lid," you can just attach the two at the ends and they form one single container.

Great concept, but let me say something about the commercial. First, the lady at the start of the commercial deserved to have all of her dishes fall all over the place. Look how they were just packed into the cabinet. I don't see how she even managed to close the doors without them falling out.

Same with the lady who spilled chili all over the counter. I mean, if the chili rises 2 inches above the top of the dish, what did she think would happen when she tried to force a lid down on top of it?

My mom tried to convince me to buy my own WOW storage containers. But I just don't store things. I use it or I throw it away. Takes too much time to put that leftover corn in a container.

So I bought my own WOW storage containers. Not to store things in. I just like to build with them. I haven't played with Legos in years, and these are a nice replacement.
