    You can cut one up into tiny little ass wipes and take them hiking/camping! Super absorbant and biodegradeable even. You might have said, "WOW" in the past...but you ain't really said, "WOW" until your caught 10 miles into the woods and have one of these handy!

    for drying a car they suck. I tried them and they aren't worth it for drying a car. cleaning up spills fine, but they don't work for drying. Microfiber towells work much better, just grab a few of them and it will work 100 times better.

    I bought a "super slicer" one time, and all it did was make catsup out of my Tomatos. The only thing it "Super Sliced" was my knuckles. :(

    popular Mechanics did some testing of different "As sen on TV" products. They tested the ShamWoW. They said it held up to many of its claims, and said its a good deal.

    Does anyone really use $20 worth of paper towels in a month?

    Why does the commercial show people buying more Sham Wows if they're supposed to last 10 years?
