The Disco Body Shaper (Commercial Offer, 1978)

[@TnseWlms]

Dwayne Schneider uses one of these in the opening theme to One Day At a Time.

[@KentB3]

We had one similar to this, except it was a square wooden board. There must have been a trend for these things in the 70's!

Thirty years later, they upgraded to the Hawaii Chair.

[@elijahvincent985]

eBay is selling them right now for $12 plus $9 shipping! Complete with manual!

Put a cake on it, and spin it while you add frosting.

I busted out laughing!!!

[@Cristinact]

Bio Shaker's granddad... :) I just loved the hands holding the book at the front!

[@EvansSt83]

I think my mom had this when I was little.

[@geo386]

This one is hilarious. Thighmasters predecessor?

[@nuke67]

Is this what they mean by "sit and spin"?

[@imrustyokay]

seeing today's Infomercials, has anything really changed?

[@OofusTwillip]

This miracle fitness device was the 3rd or 4th re-launch of a product that dated back to at least the 1950s. Many infomercial products get re-launched after enough time has passed for most people to forget the previous version (and that the device might have been banned by the FTC for being a scam, for which the previous seller might have been heavily fined).

[@davidcarlson6981]

And remember $10 in 1978 is today's $40... sheesh. $40 for a crappy ugly metal lazy susan.

[@itiswhatitaintanditaintwha1427]

How stupid were we back then?

[@joshgellis3292]

the later generation is even that much more retarded.
