I have on 2 occasions.
The first being Dr. Squatch soap. Someone posted their commercial here and I laughed and ended up buying the 3 bar sampler.

Their pine tar soap was AWESOME! The other two were crap.
I was not in the market for new soap I found the commercial oddly entertaining so I figured I would give it a go.

And tonight I ordered a case of water.

Such a ridiculous name and description. Not out looking for new water but I will say, though it all may be in my head, I have had a couple of the “high ph” level waters and they seem to be smoother than your run of the mill bottled or tap water.
I find myself drinking more especially if not balls cold.

So I ordered a case for no more reason than their name and marketing was ridiculous.

Yeah, PooPourri...and it works!

If a company actually puts originality and thought into commercials like these, I will give them a look.

Squatty Potty. (Okay, so it wasn't solely because of the ridiculous marketing... But that's what got the ball rolling.)

Saw the commercial. Laughed at the unicorn puppet crapping out ice cream. Then read up on the science, and decided "Hey, there might be something to this." So I bought one.

And I'll be damned... It really did give me the best poop of my life. Just like the commercial claimed.

Yes, the Bacon Bowl. Used it maybe twice. Much easier just to cook in the oven.

Wife got me a Sham-Wow one year as a gag gift. I thought it was hilarious because I thought Vince was funny as hell.

Terrible terrible drying cloth though. Ended up using them as oil rags in the shop.

So the Liquid Death arrived.
It’s all marketing hype. Better than tap water or cheap filtered water but not better than Fiji.
It is kind of odd drinking water from a can though.
