Items You Bought Because You Saw Them On A Game Show

This was a common SP on TPIR about 15 years ago and I've been using mine several times a week since then to trim my facial hair: 🧔

I wear Haggar slacks because I first heard of them as a consolation prize on various shows.

Levi's slacks were also plugged often on TPIR in the early '80s right up until the debut of their Dockers brand in '86.

When Buzzr started rerunning Supermarket Sweep in 2018, I liked the sweaters David Ruprecht wore so much I bought one for myself. Typed "Members Only sweater 90s" into eBay, looked for ones that matched what I'd seen on the show, snagged one that was my size.

It's a really good quality one, sturdy and comfortable.

When I was in the market for earbuds, I was interested in a pair from AudioTechnica that shows up frequently as an IUFB on TPIR. I still like them, although I ran into a problem when they stopped working with Skype/Discord on my iPad (they still work on my phone).

I've also definitely seen some grocery products in games that I've proceeded to pick up on the following trip to the market. The most recent example being milkshake pouches made by Klondike. Was a little disappointed in those.

I'm disappointed to see nobody's admitted to having bought a flokati rug from their appearance on Press Your Luck.  ;-)

I started wearing Perry Ellis clothes as a preteen because that is what Alex Trebek wore on J!  Also, as a child whenever we went to the mall, I checked out J. Riggings because that is what David Ruprecht wore on Supermarket Sweep.

Also, as a child whenever we went to the mall, I checked out J. Riggings because that is what David Ruprecht wore on Supermarket Sweep.

This reminds me, I believe I got a J. Riggings sweater as a teenager in part because Pat Finn also wore them on Shop Til You Drop.

In the early 2000s I bought a red Mercury Cougar because it was featured regularly on TPiR.  I've also bought Bruce's yams, Birdola, Eggland's Best eggs, etc.

A West Bend Stir Crazy popcorn maker for me, featured for years on TPiR, still featured on TPiR - and the best countertop popcorn maker to date. Use with one of those "all in one popcorn" kits for perfect movie theater popcorn.

I once got a couple of bottles of Green Slime Shampoo after seeing it on Double Dare....

Mogen David wine has become my go-to joke if I'm ever hosting a game night.  People know I'm a wine snob and, using my very sarcastic, dry sense of humor, I explain it's delivery to the guests as a wine "so amazing it used to be a big prize on a game show" (hey, that's generic verbiage, sorry if they read into it wrong).  Needless to say everyone gags on it, we all have a laugh, and get back to "Jackpot" ("people used to play for 50k on this show, but a select few left with Mogen David")
