126 - Infomercials Are Just Coco Melon for Adults

Grab your credit cards and act now—this deal won’t last forever! This week, we’re taking a nostalgic deep dive into the golden era of infomercials. From the Magic Bullet’s chaotic breakfast parties to Cindy Crawford’s Meaningful Beauty, we’re reliving the most iconic TV sales pitches of all time. We also discuss the wonders of Wen Shampoo, the absolutely disgusting Ped Egg, the Topsy Turvy tomato planter, and the OG mineral makeup craze with BareMinerals. And, of course, no infomercial conversation is complete without the legendary daddy Billy Mays. But wait, there’s more! Tune in now—operators are standing by.
