The Chocolate Factory - Only $19.95 + $8.00 S&H
As seen on TV!

I just saw a commercial for a "wonder" product called The Chocolate Factory. All it is, is a cheap double boiler with some plastic molds and some plastic sticks to dip chocolate with. Come the fuck on! Are people really dumb enough to fall for this scam? The entire commercial shows lots of happy people making fancy looking chocolate candies, but the product doesn't come with any chocolate! It's extra. So what we have is a cheap double boiler, a few cents worth of plastic crap and a handy instruction manual for the low low price of $30 fucking dollars! Unreal.

Oh, and it also comes with a handy-dandy plastic ladle the announcer proudly proclaims is, "Useful for topping ice cream with chocolate sauce!" Wow, no kiddin'.. I better git me one of dem choc-late thingies. :crazy:

And I'm pretty sure that it's the greatest invention in the history of human-kind.

Of course, I'm pretty high.

Like good old PT Barnum used to say: A sucker is born every minute. But i may add that today the population grows much faster than in those days. :)
