Fridge Locker As Seen On TV

I'm so happy to see your As Seen On TV reviews site because I'm wild about the Fridge Locker.  When I first saw it on Pitchmen I thought it was the absolutely stupidest thing I had ever seen, which made it the perfect infomercial product.

The Fridge Locker commercial was hilarious and the scene in Pitchmen showing the bear trying to break into the thing was an instant classic. I immediately thought this would become one of the most popular late night infomercials ever but wondered who actually needed the product.

It dawned on me the next day at work that I was someone who needed it and there were probably a lot of others out there in the same situation.  My issue is this.  I work in a large office and as a group, the employees order food from Costco to be delivered to the office each month.  It's great to have a stockpile of snacks and drinks at work and it definitely saves money doing the bulk thing.  However, without fail, most of my sodas and fruit gets gobbled up by my coworkers. I never complain about it but others certainly do. It never occurred to me to have some type of food locker in the refrigerator to protect my food.  Luckily, the inventors of the Fridge Locker did.

So I ended up ordering the Fridge Locker because I could not find it in stores. I'm not much for buying things without actually holding it my hands first, but I took the risk because I knew having this in the office would be a lot of fun. I paid $19.99 plus shipping & handling.  In total my order for two fridge lockers came to $34.97. I certainly don't need two of them because believe it or not, one of them holds plenty of food.

When the fridge locker arrived I put it together in about five minutes.  It came with 3 identical sides, a front gate and rear wall, a bunch of plastic clip inserts and a clip tool.  The instructions were relatively simple and easy to follow. This was the first time in my life I ever bought a product that came with spare parts in case you lose some. I was very impressed by that and wanted to mention it. I had four clips left over and the extras were noted in the instructions.

Once I had gotten it together I really wanted to put it to the test and see how sturdy it was. I tugged on it and even pulled on the sides it was surprisingly sturdy.  The only weakness may be the gate because by definition the gate swings and the pegs where the gate connects with the sides might be vulnerable.  But stealing food is a crime of opportunity and the Fridge Locker removes the opportunity so it is definitely strong enough to do the job.

There was some question as to if it would be too large for the standard fridge, or be to small to hold a significant amount of food.  I have to say that both of these issues were answered to my satisfaction. The fridge locker is designed to take up as little space possible in a standard size refrigerator.

Cold Fire Extinguisher As Seen On TV Commercial

When I first saw Cold Fire on Pitchmen I was pretty blown away.  This product certainly had the wow power to be an As Seen On TV hit, but then I began to think about how much I needed one of these, or two actually. Fire preparedness has not been something on my mind, but it certainly is now.  Take a look at the Cold Fire commercial and you will see what I'm talking about.

Cold Fire Extinguisher On Pitchmen

Cold Fire Extinguishers are a definitely the hot new As Seen On TV product of the year but I've noticed a little trend here.  The series Pitchmen premiered with Anthony Sullivan lighting himself on fire to prove the value of his latest and greatest product.  But, this isn't the first time things get heated for Sullivan.

A few months back I recall Anthony Sullivan pitching a pretty neat product called the Grill Glove which is a fire proof glove used while you are grilling. It allows you to reach onto the grill and remove, turn or flip food without getting burned or needing tongs. It really is a cleaver idea and we will hear more about it during grilling seasons.  The thing that surprised me was Sullivan's willingness to reach in to the fire to test it out. I didn't expect that from him and was rather impressed.

So Sullivan stepped it up a notch on Pitchmen when an inventor presented a non toxic, biodegradable flame retardant in a can. Sounds like a fire extinguisher right? Well it wasn't but it made Sullivan nervous. The inventor wanted to demonstrate by applying the Cold Fire liquid to his arm and putting a blow torch to it.  Sully was taken back and hesitant enough to call for a real fire extinguisher to be on call.  The stunt was pulled off without a hitch and Sullivan was inspired to give it a whirl. I knew immediately Cold Fire Extinguisher was gonna be a hit!

For the infomercial Anthony Sullivan donned a fire suit and set himself ablaze to show the world the power of Cold Fire.  It was a great stunt and satisfied Rule 1 of direct response marketing, the Wow Factor.  Even though there are bold disclaimers about trying this at home, I know what's coming.  Teenagers, morons and fools are going to buy Cold Fire and put it to the test.  I hope it works or there are going to be lines at the Emergency Room door.

Overall, the season Premiere of Pitchmen was great and they really didn't miss a beat without Billy Mays. I think it is safe to say that we are in for a whole slew of silly As Seen On TV products this year, but a few like Cold Fire Extinguishers are life savers.
