Amazing Discoveries - Magic Wand - 1990

[@DizzyedUpGirl]

Back in the day this was amazing. Now it's just an immersion blender.

[@StevenSeed00]

Ian Long was classic. My college buddy and I would stay up late after doing homework to watch Amazing Discoveries and crack up goofing on these guys.

[@Itanium153]

Wow I was in 6th 7th grade watching this late at night.

[@jeremykifer]

I remember the car wax one, with the British guy with the Bowtie 😂😂😂

Auri presented/demonstrated by John.

5:01 - I don't think they were expecting the audience to react like that. hahaha

[@DizzyedUpGirl]

They were so disgusted.

[@rin-eri]

LOL i thought the same thing. everyone was so worried about fat in the 90s. these days hearing 'fat free' food almost sounds weird. in the 2010s i feel like it was all about sugar-free food. i feel like these days it's just about 'all-natural' or like, low number of ingredients. 'simple ingredient' type foods.

When I was a kid, these shows would come up after cartoons on Saturdays. I was so innocent back then I didn't even realize that it was a commercial! This one had several competitors, most notably the Daily by Kitchenmate, There was the Fingerhut Wok from Red China, The Snakmaster that made the triangular foods, The salsa maker, and the classic mandoline slicers that went by many names.

Michael needs to be protected at all costs. This show was a damn gem.

[@therealkepler]

...yeah, he's dead

[@Jennifer_Lewis_Beach_Living]

Unfortunately he passed away years ago

[@juicyfruit6311]

Cancer got him in the 90s.

[@cats0182]

Loved Mike Levey and his crew.

[@seansoccer100]

12:20 "ice is real hard though!" yes. yes it is.

[@Clutnuckle]

I knew the Mr. Show "Thrilling Miracles" sketch was making fun of infomercials, but I didn't realize just how much direct influence they took from a specific infomercial until seeing this.

[@fizzys26]

I remember watching this. And wanting one.

[@pjimmbojimmbo1990]

I bought one, not from the informercial, and was completely Underwhelmed. Skim Milk full of very very tiny Air Bubbles Tastes like Skim Milk full of Air. Great for Gas in the Intestinal Track.

[@theglenlivet12]

Did they not have immersion blenders back then?

[@apl175]

There was a similar product around the same time - the *DAILY* from Kitchenmate!

[@rayrosini8907]

The Kitchenmate...Wasn't that an infomercial with a woman who sounded like she was all coked up describing all the attachments? I remember that one, I think the host name was Kathy Mason.

[@apl175]

@@rayrosini8907 YES I've been trying to find it on youtube - but it was so rare and so 80s that I don't think anyone recorded it.

[@camouflage81]

@@apl175 They were just about to push rec-play, and then they realise - This is waaaay to 80's to record!!!

[@Wild1995]

Its on youtube now@@apl175

[@Wild1995]

Eat it during the late show, the late late show, the much too late show and it will never show@@rayrosini8907

[@Mike-pj1kv]

The audience is sooo amazed that they are unable to stop clapping no matter what he does or says.

[@KBGWorld29]

Matteo Lane brought me here 😂

[@Clutnuckle]

*adds chicken* "pure vegatable soup"

[@angussneef]

I thought this was going to be a different magic wand.

[@KBGWorld29]

06:05 to 06:30 the poor man wants to explain what’s wrong with the other kitchen gadgets! Let him do his spiel 😂😂😂

[@pjimmbojimmbo1990]

Aerated Skim Milk, next day lots of Farting.

[@drummingdanny84]

😂😂😂😂

[@Gitanarosa]

My parents bought the Braun one that had the attachment to whip skin milk.

[@pjimmbojimmbo1990]

I wonder how much the Tasters were paid to Lie and say it is/was great Tasting?

[@deadchannel7160]

A cat snuck into the controlroom and played with the applause button..

[@johnnyballenatl]

QVC was still around in 1990, though they would overtake HSN as the #1 shopping channel.

[@bluepandaman]

Bought one of these for $12 last week 😂

[@rin-eri]

so. an immersion blender with different attachments lol.

[@homerjay24]

Venturi ring, with patented wiffle ball technology!

[@josephd15]

I used to want this

[@cas447]

6:17 This looks just like mayonnaise. 🙄

[@Soxruleyanksdrool]

The "Magic Wand" sounds like the name of a sex toy.

[@Wild1995]

Yay. Foam milk.

[@SweetSweetVideoBoom]

Sweater guy doesn’t actually take whole tastes. He hates it.

[@pjimmbojimmbo1990]

Amazing Discoveries, inspired 'I can't believe they invented it' on the Simpsons, hosted by Dr. Nick Riviera

[@YouDontKnow-that]

All the women in the audience got a free Magic Wand that day.

[@Jennifer_Lewis_Beach_Living]

😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@videox222ify]

oil doesn't have cholesterol

[@pjimmbojimmbo1990]

Consume enough of that "Whipped" Skim Milk, and you will have Gas Pain, and plenty of Farting

[@dglcomputers1498]

So this amazing discovery is a stick blender with different attachments, now no one has ever made one of them before? (Bamix patented the first one in 1950) Plus the bloke sounds like a market seller. So not an amazing discovery, something that you could discover just by walking into any shop that sells cooking equipment. Still these infomercials are interesting to watch, more to point out the BS than anything else!

This man is fun at parties, invest now! :P
