Your Savvy Shopper has examined every nook and cranny of the Garry Ultra Light Vacuum website and can’t find an explanation for the name “Garry.” I did learn why it’s better than the competition, how it cleans in half the time, the no-hassle replacement warranty and the free vacuum bags for life. But not about the name. Was Garry the name of a friend or relative who really sucked? The photo is of the inventor, Bob.

TBO.com reports on a new informercial filmed yesterday for Mighty Thirsty, the newest product from Mighty Brands. Anthony Sullivan inherited the role of Mighty spokesperson from the late Billy Mays. In this new spot, Sully is covered with Mighty Thirsty sponges, hooked to a parasail, then towed by a boat and dunked into the Gulf of Mexico to determine how absorbent the Mighty Thirsty sponges really are. We’re looking forward to seeing the footage, especially the behind the scenes action sure to show up in the new season of Pitchmen.

Product demonstration or wacky new superhero?

Here’s a comment anonymously posted on another website. We’re re-posting it here so you won’t be surprised by extra charges when you order the Perfect Fit Button online.
Just ordered these Perfect Fit Buttons, I’m very excited! A word of warning: there are two extra screens that come after ordering, offering more products. If you select the “additional sets” of buttons, it will give you 4 sets of buttons (the commerical offer on TV is for 1 “set”–the set is 4 buttons, plus the other 4 free w\S&H. The “trick”, if you want to call it that (it’s just cleverly worded, really), is that you think that the “default” order doesn’t include the “free” buttons, BUT IT DOES. If you want an “additional set” of buttons, YOU WILL BE PAYING FOR MORE. And the S&H goes up a LOT, $20.97 for me. I have the money to spend, and I probably would have bought more anyway, plus now I have the experience to share with y’all 
The second extra screen before the order went through was an offer for (I think) larger buttons. I said no, but don’t let that stop you.
I repeat: proceed with your order and say “NO THANKS” to any extra offers if ALL you want is the 2 sets of perfect fit buttons for $10+S&H. Otherwise, YOU WILL PAY MORE. I paid $40.97 total, which again IS TOTALLY FINE as I have the money to spend on it. I went into this knowing that the TV offer might not be EXACTLY as it appeared (a TV commercial that’s less than completely honest?? SAY IT ISN’T SO!!!), so I have no “buyer’s remorse”, but I put this out to the Internet as a fair word of caution.
That being said, I really am excited to get these buttons, since I really DO need them, plus I want to get them for the story! I’ll update you when they arrive.

The musical landscape of the 1960s wasn’t all about sex, drugs and rock and roll. Radio and record racks made plenty of room for Andy Williams, Bobby Vinton, Dionne Warwick, Petula Clark, Nat King Cole, Louis Armstrong, Al Hirt, Ed Ames, Vikki Carr, The Lettermen, Shriley Bassey, and many other artists that weren’t quite ready to rock. They’re all here in this new Time-Life CD collection, Pop Memories of the ’60s. No Beatles, Stones, Cream, Hendrix, Blue Cheer, Jefferson Airplane or Led Zeppelin. Just easy listening goodness. Forget the Xanax. Just rip these discs to your iPod, slap on the earbuds and experience instant bliss.

Most laptop computers get uncomfortably hot when you rest them on your lap for more than a few minutes, especially if you’re wearing shorts or a skirt. The Notebook Buffer protects your laptop when you carry it, and keeps you cool when you use it, even in the buff.
