LUGGEEZ: Infomercial Review


I'll grant you a couple of points. I'll grant that women are the ones who do more laundry than men in the house. I'll also grant that this probably means that we men are not the best experts on how laundry should be done. However, I have to say that the women shown in the infomercial for Luggeez might be doing something wrong. Every other woman that they show carrying a laundry basket somehow manages to spill their clothes all over the place. I'm fairly sure that I've never once spilled my dirty clothes while going to the washing room.

That's not to say that Luggeez is not a necessary thing to have. It's absolutely quite useful. If you haven't seen the commercial, let me bring you up to speed. Luggeez is this fabric garment thing with sleeves that you wear on your arms and that is able to contain a huge amount of laundry. It makes it simple to carry your clothes to and from the washing room without spilling anything. It also contains special pouches to hold things like your cell phone, fabric softener, and other small items. I was convinced as soon as I saw Luggeez that this was a great idea.

I wasn't quite so convinced, however, that it should be used for carrying vegetables, as they show the woman doing—carrying tomatoes, peppers and such from the garden. I kept thinking of people's smelly clothes and what might be rubbing off onto the vegetables. That's when my wife pointed out that the Luggeez themselves are also washed and dried.

Oh yeah. Duh. At any rate, this seems perfect for guys who do their own laundry, since no self-respecting man wants to be seen carrying a laundry basket. This seems like a much more macho way of carrying clothes. So I'm sold on Luggeez.

SCOOPEEZE: Infomercial Review


I'll admit to you that I'm not a big fan of walking the dog. I have just too many horror stories to tell.

· Like the time that my big boxer ran so fast down the road, pulling me behind, that I slammed nose first into a telephone pole.

· Like the time that my little chihuahua ran so fast that she fell right into a manhole, dangling on the end of my rope. Yes, I did manage to miraculously save her before her neck broke or before she was choked to death.

Mostly, though, I'm just not a big fan of doggie bodily waste. Call me squeamish, but I just cringe when I see or smell it.

So I suppose Scoopeeze is a product designed just for me. However, when their commercial proudly proclaimed, “You still have to scoop, but now you won't mind,” I was skeptical. I don't think there will ever be a time that I don't mind scooping doggie poop.

However, Scoopeeze does make it more bearable. Scoopeze is this portable waste pick-up device. It consists of two plastic semi-circles attached with a hinge. You use them to simply close the device around the doggie waste without ever touching it. The Scoopeeze comes with a biodegradable liner that is easy to dispose when the time comes. Until then, you don't see or smell the waste inside of this little poop trap. In fact, it attaches to your leash so that you can continue walking your dog until you come to a place where you can empty the Scoopeze.

What's amusing to me about the commercial, though, is that I never once saw them using it on anything that resembled doggie poop. I saw it demonstrated on things like rocks, blue clay, toy balls, etc. I have to tell you, I never once felt the need to scoop up a ball when I'm walking my dog.

Still, I'm impressed with Scoopeeze, because it makes dog-walking a less annoying thing to do. But you should still watch out for those manholes.

BEAUTY SILKZ: Infomercial Review


Every now and then I have a brain storm, and that happneed to me the other day while watching the commercial for Beauty Silkz. Let me explain to you the cool concept of Beauty Silkz and then how I think they should take it a step further.

You know how sometimes when you get up in the morning you have "bed face"? That's because of a couple of factors. First, the pillow that you sleep on tends to dehydrate your face of lots of moisture during the night. And second, it's because the wrinkles in the pillow itself get embedded in your skin. Beauty Silkz are these super-smooth pillows / pillow cases that keep your skin hydrated and, because of how smooth they are, prevent creases and fine lines. Think of it this way: During the night, the smoothness of the pillow is transferred to your face (whereas previously, the wrinkles of the pillow were transferred to your face.

Watch Video

That's where my brain storm enters the picture. What about pillow cases for men that, instead of transferring smoothness, do some of the following:

* a gritty pillow case that transfers grit to your face

* a sexy pillow case that transfers a charming look to your face that the ladies can't resist

* a scary pillow case that transfers a look to your face that makes muggers and drunks in the bar run away from you in fear.

Until such a time that these pillows become possible, maybe I'll sneak and order a Beauty Silkz of my own. Even though they only show women using them in the commercial, guys care about their looks too.
