ensign_beedrill 0 Posted June 16, 2009 Sounds cool. But I dont' know if I ever could pay $50 for sneakers. I'm a cheapy cheapskate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
He Who Shall Not Be Named 2 Posted June 17, 2009 This all sounds a bit too close to "Spaceballs: the Flamethrower". Of course the idea that people would spend money on ordinary sneakers with a Star Trek logo is a sign the economy might be improving. Once things like Salad Shooters, Flowbees, Pet Rocks, and other frivilous stuff becomes profitable it means consumers have disposable income. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ensign_beedrill 0 Posted June 17, 2009 Hey, what's wrong with Salad Shooters? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Voyager recruit 0 Posted June 17, 2009 Whatever makes life easier! Hey, anybody remember, or miss those Ronco commercials...? Grin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
He Who Shall Not Be Named 2 Posted June 17, 2009 I'm not saying anything is wrong with the Salad Shooter per se, and I would never presume to tell consumers what they can and can't buy with their own money, but does it meet a basic survival need? Not really. The Salad Shooter is an example of a product that fills a need that didn't exist before the product's invention. Plus, once you have the Salad Shooter, you need to follow up with the Salad Scooper to pick up the salad shards that don't get into the bowl. As for Ronco - Come on, they used to make an egg scrambler that would scramble eggs while still inside the shell! Sure it looks cool, but what is the point? You have to break the shell to get at the egg anyway, right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Voyager recruit 0 Posted June 17, 2009 Well, I am sure not everything failed to work as shown...and the commercials, if anything, are a part of Americana, for those old enough to recall their heydey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
