Nad's hair remover-Too easy to mock :o

Forget the mocking thing. That stuff is painful as hell!!! I don't see how them women did that in the infomercial without showing any signs of discomfort (understatement of the 90's).

It's too bad that that Aussie lady who invented that depilatory had to have a daughter named Nad.  If she were in America, she would have been the butt of all Beavis and Butt-Head jokes.  What was that Aussie woman thinking when she named her daughter and then used it to name a depilatory?  Doesn't she know that "n a d s" is a term Beavis and Butt-Head use to describe their private parts?  :o

Her eldest daughter's name is actually "Nadine".

A mainstream sports/humour show ("The Footy Show") sponsored a racing greyhound named "Nads". Just so people could have the please of barracking for the dog - "Go, Nads!"  ::)

LOL!!! At least that hideous product can bring some humor into the world if nothing else and just because of its name.  ;D  Sorry, Nadine! :-/

Nads is an unfortunate name...

Just don't any of you American people refer to your butt as a fanny if you come to Australia. In this country, "fanny" means something else.

A "fanny" in Australia is a woman's genitalia.....I made this mistake once with an Australian girl...I told her to watch out for this particular person at work b/c he liked to pinch women's fannies and she flew off the handle...which I can understand now...but obviously was shocked at the time....

ahh.. the Flowbee... I still prefer the term "Suck-Cut" ... it sucks as it cuts.. (it certainly does suck!)... damn.. gotta pull that movie out now..

Quoting:
The Flowbee was pretty funny.

Yep! When this came out I was like, CRIPES there goes my buisness! ::)  Didn't Wayne and Garth call it 'suck cut'?? hehe

^I think "COPS" came out in the '90s.  "Real World" definately came out in the '90s.  While "Survivor", "Fear Factor" and "Big Brother" did come out in 2000, they are from that '90s mentality.

COPS came out in the late-'80's, and I'm pretty sure Survivor came out in 1998 or '99.

I always use the word fanny, in the American context that is.  My "pet name" for my daughter is Fanny.
Besides with kids you tend to avoid using a s s and butt.  My mother is trying to convince my kids that butt is a bad word.  (She says she doesn't want them to start saying butt head ::).)

Suck cut!  That's funny - I've had haircuts that sucked.  I wonder if sucked will be edited?

...Speaking of which, I wonder if anyone can help me. When it first started, there were four children, one called Tina, one called Derrick, one called Michael. What was the other one called? She was tall, and always wore a luminous pink top. If anyone could help me, that would be appreciated.

Electrolysis (sp?)

That $h@# hurts! It's a sheer waste of time because hair grows back. A woman has to go pore to pore/fallicle to fallicle. 1 leg could take days! I don't see how they (people who do it) do it.
End Quote

I heard you had to do it a few times before the follical was killed off?

Either way, It's much easier and a lot cheaper to use tweezers and a razor.  :P  

I tried waxing a few times but I mistakenly took off half of my eyebrow!  ::) LOL  

Speaking of wax....Was 'Nads' a 90's(1999) product?? If so, that was a dumb idea. :P  Notice in the infomerrical they never show the face of those being waxed?! LOL  That's cause the flucking product hurts!!  ;D

Hello! Experience here. It hurts like a @*%#$!

Money back guarantee my foot!

You always lose out on the shipping and handling! Actually, most people are just too damn lazy, including myself, to wrap the stuff up and go through the trouble of driving to the post office, sending it back and pay money to do it. It's too much of a hassle. No thanks. They can have it.

Billy Bass went over really great with my relatives in Ohio, especially my mother, who had to run out and get one after she saw one her cousin had, 'cus it was "so cute." Of course, she took pink flamingos waaay too seriously in the 60s too....  :P

Quoting:
I believe the 90s were the best known for very moronic ideas that, despite their lack of feasability, found the light of day in a catalog or a novelty store near you. Recently, I came across a catalog for football tailgaters that featured a portable potty can with the "odor-absorbing" crystals found in some new cat litters. (Made for Detroit Lions fans, whose season has gone to the crapper).
Other bad ideas:
Billy Bass singing fish :-X
The Flowbee haircutting "system" that requires a vacuum hose ???

Poof skirts :-[

I remember the Billy Bass singing fish being sold at Long's drug stores.An untapped idea would have been to have it sing in Hindi and call it Salmon Khan. ::) ::)The nads depilitory didn't work at all for me---I'll stick with the cherry -scented nair. 8) 8)Cheers!

Do any of you gals remember the EpiLady hair removal system? THAT was painful.  
Can you imagine sitting in a room thinking...
