What's you favorite Info-mercial product?

With the rise of the internet during the mid 90s, internet shopping had replaced info-mercials.  For those that don't know what info-mercials are well they were commercials that had these 800 numbers for consumers to buy the product they were selling on air.  I remember that they had this countdown timer.  Once time ran out, then the next item would be introduced.  Here's a list of these products that I remember.  If you can add on to this list please do.

One of our guys, Rob, just bought one and brought it back to Hong Kong with him. The uber cool: IRON GYM! It's a chin up/ pull up bar you can hang off your door frame.

There's a Jackie Chan Grill??? I honestly think info-mercials from the 80s were the best. Corny but yet most memorable.
