Those are pretty bad. Personally, I always ridiculed the Star Wars popcorn maker.

I suppose the logical answer is "if it did not sell, it wouldn't be in the magazine" but I have to really wonder who buys some of that crap in there.

Some of it is pretty cool. A good portion of it usually leaves me scratching my head and confused as to what it takes for people to purchase some of that stuff.

Those make the hot dog toaster seem downright utilitarian!

Somebody out there has to be buying this stuff.

When I saw the Soup Nazi photo while on a flight last week, I cracked up laughing. Now 'fess up . . . has anyone here actually bought one?

Along with the somewhat dubious medical devices, there's also a quack device for your car: http://www.skymall.com/shopping/deta...d=102634720&c=

It's 100% guaranteed -- just return it for a full refund. Of course, you're supposed to drop one of the capsules into the gas tank. Good luck fishing it out.

I saw that and figured it couldn't be that easy. Glad to know i was right in my skepticism.

Looks like somebody is actually reading the SkyMall!

There must be quite a market for watch winders out there somewhere.

Today's SkyMall impulse purchases are tomorrows eBay bargains.

There are hundreds of products that Wal-Mart choses not to sell, so they end up at Sky Mall..of course Wal-Mart are not always right.

Now what was the name of the Big Box Store that initially turned down Cabbage Patch Dolls.

I thought about getting a wine rack, but I've never had wine at in my house for too long. :)
