Dumb Exercise Product(s) of the Day – Part 4

I just love when I find another winner of the coveted DEPOT’d (Dumb Exercise Product of the Day) Award.  And on days like today when I’ve got a couple of prize winners, well, I’m practically giddy.

The first one is an exercise product called the “Bosom Buddy”.  Nope, not making that up.  Apparently this product is targeting women so disappointed with their breasts that they’ll throw every last ounce of logic and reason out the window and turn over their credit card info for a cheesy aqua-colored piece of plastic with a hinge that you ‘exercise’ with. 

Check this out.


Yes, one woman actually says she had “Snoopy nose” boobs, but this thing made her “perky”. Can’t say I’ve ever heard the term “Snoopy nose” applied to boobs before. Great stuff.

Our next winner comes from someone I’ve never heard of, a shameless exercise product scam artist named Forbes Riley. How can I label her as a scam artist if I’ve never heard of her? Well, after seeing this video, I did visit her site, and honestly, if you take someone’s money in exchange for this piece of crap she is selling, calling her just a scam artist is being polite.

Give me a drum roll for the spectacular “Spin Gym”!


I love the complete tool at about the 56 second mark. “Whoo! Getting a workout here!”

I’m pretty sure I remember making one of those with a big button and some string back in kindergarten or first grade . Obviously, I was an exercise visionary.

I’ve got some more of these, but I’ll save them for another day. If you’ve got any examples of exercise products you think would qualify for a DEPOT’d Award, let me know in the comments below. I love this stuff.

    Have you seen the Hawaiian Chair? Ellen Degeneres did a show recently where she interviewed guests on it. Completely hilarious.

    Thanks Kerine. I haven't seen that one. I'll have to check it out.

    If pushing my grill tongs together did anything for my pectoral muscles I'd be looking like Aahnold of yesteryear already.

    And what does the “upper arm firming gel” do, really?!?
