I admit dissappointment that after all the work I put in to put this together, not one person ('cept me) even looked at it. |

Don't fret! I checked em out and the first tube clip is scary how much ShamWow copied Zorbeez, atleast I think Mays beat Vince to the magical orange money towel. That last clip, ugh the cool kid that just had to have the nose piercing...so...dumb...it hurts the eyes, but admittedly I did find the last 15 seconds of his clip funny.
"It's like a towel, it's like a shammy, it's like a stupid piece of crap. Every time you use it you'll say why? Why did I waste my money on this stupid piece of crap? Here's one now, watch it dance." "Yarrr! I'm a pirate now. I dunno, this thing just sells itself." Good stuff.  |

I bought ShamWows. They don't work like the ad says. That's why when he put the ShamWow on the floor and beats on it and beats on it and beats on it again, the he goes to wring it out in the bowl and not ONE drop comes out. I was ROFL.

I had a friend that used a Shamwow on a cut. It stopped the bleeding, permanetly.

MM, I watched a comparison on YouTube, and ShamWow won. They said that although the instructions don't say so, the ShamWow has to be wet in order to absorb other liquid. Have you tried that?

I bought ShamWows yesterday. They'd better be worth it...for $20! I'll post back with my findings.

I got a shamwow from Wallgreens. The commercial said its only available on TV. I guess if there going to lie about something that simple, the statement about it being a great towel must be the opposite of the truth.

Little did you know that at the time you posted it, that Billy Mays had just over 4 months to live.
I'm wondering if maybe this thread didn't have something to do with his death....

(Two years later
 )Ooops. Sorry.
Waste of $19. They're worth $1. Like a roll of decent paper towels.

Could be.
In the 1970s I got into Chicago (the band) then the lead guitarist accidently killed himself.
So I went back to listening to The Who, then Keith Moon died.
Then I kind of got into the Muppets. Then Jim Henson died.
Then I started getting into watching Billy Mays show with Anthony, then Billy Mays dies.
Yeah, so it must be me.

Shamwows do work, but not as good as promised. The trick is to get it wet BEFORE you use it.
