90s Infomercials Were Actually Chaos
Cathy Mitchell sold us the Turbo Cooker, the Eat This book, and dump cakes — and I have… thoughts.
These infomercials from the 90s were somehow unhinged and iconic at the same time. Let’s discuss.

We have a type of chinese cake that we make by steaming them. It has a more fluffy ttexture and not dese and crumbling like the ones in the cakebox. This thing is just basically just a steamer.

I grew up watching these as a kid, unable to sleep. Maybe that's why I clicked.

You should really do the Micro-Crisp infomercial, which was one of Cahty's early products

I never want to hear about Matteo's cousin Brian/Bryan. It's like Philomena Cunk's mate Paul, or Merris is Frasier. The less we know, the better. All we know about Brian is that Matteo and he would watch infomercials on Sundays. That's it. And it MUST stay that way.

11:47 i think it is the same one. If you turn the one on the right 90 degrees to the right, they match.

Seeing her in this one makes me realize another hilarious scheem of hers debunked-
She was always praising the health benefits of her… ways. But as she got older after episodes like these here where she is younger and smaller, she got fat lol. So i don’t think she was eating or creating healthy anything. If you’re offended that i called a fat woman fat, it’s okay, i don’t care.

"Mitchell filmed her first infomercial in 1989, advertising the Snakmaster sandwich press. Mitchell chose to receive her payment as a commission on each unit sold, & the Snakmaster was highly successful."

Matteo, you should pull up Rhonda Shear from USA Network, "up all night"……..where she throws her voice. You would love it.

I live in portland, or. I went to the no kings here and of the thousands of people there, the only issues I saw came from 4 or 5 maga trolls who pushed their way into the crowd and were quickly surrounded by portland police and escorted out to the cheers of all of us. Assholes have nothing better to do but harass people.

11:48 if you rotate the cooked one 180 degrees to the left, the olives match up perfectly

These infomercials about cooking were all funded by the “Anti-oil Mafia”…. World famous lobbying group against all oil.

Surprised there isn't a special utensil to lift those racks. You just use a fork and hope they don't slip or fall.

Was the oil and diet coke thing supposed to be a joke or is that really how people thought in the 80s

I love how infomercials use "[product relevant aspect] technology" to make them sound convincing but never elaborate
