Real or Fake? Infomercial Products vs. the Onion Gift Boxes.
Today's infomercials peddle poorly conceived products that look more like the topic for a skit on Saturday Night Live. Between Vince Offer touting the Shamwow and the Snuggie, these ads provide as much humorous entertainment as modern sitcoms.
The plethora of these poorly-made ads inspired me to create a direct comparison quiz. I wonder if you can distinguish between actual "As seen on TV" items for sale at Walgreens, and the prank gift boxes for sale on the Onion.
First on the list: the viso-rganizer vs. the over the shoulder organizer.
Second, 
the Topsy Turvy upside down tomato planter vs. the USB toaster.
You make the call.
