3 Easy Payments of $19.99 Plus S&H

“Infomercials ruined my life.”
Now that The Chemical Buddha had so much time on his hands, he found TV and drugs to be a dangerous, and expensive, cocktail. After one particular late night of imbibing and watching late night TV informercials, The Chemical Buddha found himself thousands of dollars in debt (all broken out into 3 low payments) thanks to Ron Popeil and his fabulous Ronco products. Then there was his purchases from QVC, because everyone needs the complete set Good Times ceramic figurines and theater quality Fraggle Rock puppets. The Chemical Buddha was particularly excited about the puppets and even had them shipped express. He was sure they would help him ‘wow!’ the ladies at his neighborhood bar. However, history would show this was yet another thing TCB was wrong about.
Who has persuaded you with their words and lured you in with their promise of flatter abs and a blender that can grind up concrete?
What do you fall for every time, only to experience buyers remorse when you have time to think about it?
