No, that's an additional payment of 39.99. But if you call before the end of this infomercial, I'll give you a special viewers discount, and throw in an extra bitchfork for only $45!

I remember infomercials that said that and I always wondered if that was actually a thing, like they knew if you called during the infomercial, or if you always got the "discount."

I've wondered that, too! My ex and I went through a brief infomercial ordering craze when we lived on top of a mountain outside of Orofino, Idaho (read: BORED). But we always called when they told us to. We finally were able to break the habit after receiving the hiking boots (with FREE leather protectant!), the chef's knives (with 4 FREE additional steak knives!) and the wind-up no-battery flashlight (an extra one FREE!).

@Fester I got the one for earlier but I missed it and the one at 5 eastern is cancelled....

Due to technical errors, the 5:00pm ET Estimation Game by Real Time Labs has been canceled. Please keep an eye out for future opportunities. Thank you for your patience!

I'm actually pretty grateful that the times I would have bought stuff from the infomercials/HSM I was beyond broke (and also a child.) I really, really wanted those random gems they would always show late at night. I watched those every Fri/Sat night. I mean I was obsessed and memorized a bunch of the gem names and properties so I could guess them if I managed to find them on the street. (I was convinced I would find a bucket full of them somewhere) I don't remember any of it now, of course. It's also where I learned how to pronounce peridot, agate, and another one I've forgotten.

This rambling wasn't relevant to anything.
