scams

I go by "if it seems to good to be true it probably is." However I feel the show has more +'s than -'s, and has saved me money from info I have seen on the show.

The "As seen on TV" usually stops me from even looking at it.

It is turly funny to see some of the things that they have on those shows

edit: I have heard that products on the show have been flops though. I know that someone here (danny??, Tows??) says that the tornado is junk and a waste of money.

Other Forums corroborate the above statement from s10 blazer, this product does not provide any of the claimed benefits.

All the tornado will do is suck $$$ out of your wallet.

Did I miss something on the show, I seen a comercial about the tornado but I may have missed Sam or Dave mentioning it. I did not hear them mention it.

I thik you're right s10. There may have been a commercial for it during the show, but I don't think it was on the show being promoted by Sam and Dave. BigBry, any insight?

Actually you have to look closely at the commercial, when they say that it has been used by celebrities, they show a picture of Sam and Dave, and some other people, look closely.

Actually it was on the show once. Not sure which one, but I think it is coming up again.

I'm staying out of this one because if I defend the product I will get hammered. BUT I do know that there have been many many people saying it did help their gas mileage.

I don't want to put my self into a stance where I have to defend a product, but it's not a product worth of piling on negative comments.

Yeah, I agree, it's not worth it. But I've never heard anyone say anything good about it, that's all.
