I recently read a report from ABC News about what to believe and what not to believe when dealing with direct response television advertising for Spa products. Spa product commercials become even more popular in the current sunny months because who does not want to look good. Those hopes to look good can sometimes blind us from the validity of certain direct response television advertising infomercials.

We have all seen the Kinoki Footpads that when placed on the bottoms of feet suck out all the toxins. Seem pretty ridiculous? Well it is and ABC News correspondent, Becky Worley will back that up after her own testing. She said after using them she got sick and her feet smelled “like rancid BBQ (abcnews.go.com).”

<--Direct Response Television Advertising Hoop-La

She found that the popular Ped Egg, used to take dead skin off feet does work effectively. Similar to a cheese grater this simple device shaves away calloused foot skin. For women looking for a way to suck in that belly the Invisible Tummy Trimmer apparently works but not that well as a girdle. For 20 bucks though what do expect?
