There's one thing you can count on with shitty products -- no matter how shittastic they may be, they'll always look amazing on TV. Be it carpets that when watered blossom into flower beds or tubes that claim to make cooking pasta less hassle. When you're shopping at the store and see that "As Seen on TV" logo, you can't help but wonder.... and wondering leads to buying. Then the next thing you know, your Jack Lalanne Power Juicer is heading off your garage sale.

I know I'll never use the Drink Magic set more than 3 times in my life. But there's that consumer curiosity that sometimes you just can't resist. Something about battery operated cups that had no function other than making froth made me quiver in excitement.



I'm not a huge coffee drinker unless it's loaded with cream, sugar, and ice. To tell the truth, I don't even know how to operate the coffee maker in my house. It kind of frightens me with it's timer settings and what have you. Thank the powers that be for instant coffee, otherwise I'd of probably wound up driving to Dunkin Donuts for a cup of joe and taking it home just to smother in froth.

Now I'm too good for any of this plain milk froth shit. I grabbed a bottle of Hershey's syrup and made me some chocolate froth for my coffee. There is something indeed magical about pressing the button and watching your drink cyclone around like an ever-flushing toilet. My chocolate froth coffee was great because chocolate and coffee is great. The sad part is, I'm now highly caffeinated, and need to go to bed as I have an early morning meeting tomorrow.

Curse you As Seen on TV products!
