have you ever purchased something you thought would be great, but it ended up being a pile of worthless junk? we just got back from wal-mart. two of my kids have braces and i figured a water-pik would be a good alternative/assistance to flossing (it's quite difficult to floss with braces). i can't really say that it's good, can't quite figure if it's totally junk, but the kids have been up there having fun spitting the excess water over themselves and the mirror for about 1/2 hour so i've at least been able to nurse my headache for a bit. I bought Dan cyanide capsules but he never took them - a complete waste of money! Sometimes, ya just need to lend a friendly, helpin' hand ... Fish ...

I bought two batteries at the dollar store for my digital camera and I took one picture and they died.

I hate that Ronco guy! Set it and forget it my ***. You do realize that they only put that warning in there because they HAVE to. Otherwise, some moron would sue them.

Yes, one thing in particular was this sleep machine. It was supposed to help me sleep, but instead it did the opposite. I was up every 10 minutes. Used it once...totally worthless!

Sounds like that you had pretty well thought this out. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm. Before making any well-thought-out decison, ask yourself what part does a liquor store play in my decision.

"have you ever purchased something you thought would be great, but it ended up being a pile of worthless junk?" Well many people make donations to political parties that DO get into government...

I once bought a water pick as well, and I think I may have adjusted the pressure a little too high. Awwww. You can learn to smile with your mouth closed. You are still a hubba hubba, because we know the one you have left is REALLY clean.

have you ever purchased something you thought would be great, but it ended up being a pile of worthless junk? A couple of times, and they both had LOGITECH written on them. Never again!
