The "As seen on Network TV " in the upper right corner is the "Avoid it Like the Plague" flag to me............

Don't let my wife see that thing - she's a sucker for every "as seen on TV" rip-off.   Of all the ASOTV crap we've gotten (against my will), the only ones worth keeping are the stackable plastic food storage containers and this really good broom.  The rest of it is  trash.

Funny thing...

I was talking to a guy I was working with yesterday about gardening problems, and told him that I can't grow tomatos because the deer come along and chew the plants down to nubs.  He said he had the same problem until he got a couple of the upside down tomato planters and kept them inside his screen porch.  He said it worked great.  In fact, he brought them inside before the first frost, and had fresh tomatos into December.

So, while it may seem useless to some, that guy found a use for it.
