My husband is a sucker for anything new, improved or “as seen on TV”. It’s bad; he will not only watch infomercials, but actually start reaching for the phone until I slap him and he snaps back to reality. Commercials advertising new, gimmecky products are to my husband as …

First off, I always treat the bold claims of manufacturers with a healthy dose of cynicism.
