I always wondered about those. The areas between my seats in my truck or like a black hole

No, but I saw an independent test done where they recreated the claims in the infomercial and it worked.


If it's the same one I saw it was some local Good Morning news program where the guy reviews as seen on TV stuff periodically. Apparently Flex Tape was the first thing he had tested in 8 years that could actually complete all the infomercial tests as described in the real world. It was very impressive how quickly that stuff worked and how well it stuck even underwater.

My last turmeric and garam marsala dish had the house smelling for days.


I've never understood how Indian food smells and taste so amazing, yet it makes a house smell like shite.

I loved the Pocket Hose. It was great while it lasted, but it only lasted a few months before a huge bubble formed in the hose and burst.

I bought another one and the same thing happened after a few months.

If those things could just last then it would be a great product. So much better than having to lug around a bulky hose and roll it up or roll it out every time you use it.

I shave with one of those Rick Harrison safety razors. It gives me a good shave, but it's just a chrome-plated safety razor. Nothing special about it.

How does it work for nugs?

On second thought, would be a terrible idea for the days where I dont have any... there's nothing like a bowl scrounged up from under your seats

I agree with the pocket hose.. had the same problem with the first one, then didn't see it and and hit it with the lawnmower the second time

I've had number three for a year or so now and I've kept it out of the sun while not in use and haven't had any problems... it has great flow through it

I had 2 of those hoses. Both worked great for awhile then both busted within a week of each other. Didn't even store them outside so they weren't dry rotted or anything

Glad to see I'm not the only one that had that happen to them. Up until that point, I loved it.

While this wasn't from an infomercial, it was on Shark Tank. Put them in my wife's vehicle then bought 2 more for myself. Such a simple concept.
