Se Habla Espanol!

There's only one thing that can prompt me to write after my month long hiatus. Infomercials. I love them! I don't know how they suck me in, they just do. The hosts make everything look so appetizing and appealing, like it's something you just can't live without. Usually infomercials play during the late hours of the morning, but you won't find me up at 2 am watching infomercials. If they're playing at 2 in the afternoon, you can bet I'll pause in my channel searching to see what's being sold. I love the Bender Ball. It's guaranteed to be 408% more effective than ordinary crunches! How did they even get that percentage?! However, my all time favorite infomercial is The Magic Bullet.
I pause all action to watch. After years and years of watching this infomercial, I still get a kick out of it. With characters like Berman who just wake up with an apparent hangover, to Fred and Ike with significant others, to my favorite, the crotchety old woman, Hazel that has a cigarette about to fall out of her mouth, what's not to love! Not to mention the male host has some kind of Australian accent and the woman looks like she needs to be on a yacht.
The best part of this whole story is that last night I got to see The Magic Bullet infomercial in Spanish! That's right, it was in espanol. I learned that in cinco segundo I can have fresh salsa or in diez segundo, I can have guacamole! That's half the stuff you need for a fiesta!
Every time I see this infomercial I say to myself, "Self, why haven't you bought one of these yet? What are you waiting for?" Alas, the time is just not right. No bueno.
