Insane Products From The Early 2000s

This video takes a nostalgic dive into some of the wildest and most memorable products that dominated TV infomercials in the early 2000s. From the ridiculous yet oddly captivating Bumpits—the plastic inserts designed to give your hair instant volume—to the quirky indoor carpet skates that promised to make gliding around your living room a reality, the video highlights the bold creativity (and questionable practicality) of these items. And of course, no collection of early 2000s oddities would be complete without the Shake Weight, a bizarrely effective (and endlessly amusing) piece of fitness equipment that turned heads for all the wrong reasons. Together, these products serve as a time capsule of the era’s infomercial culture, where anything, no matter how outlandish, could find its way into your home.
