Ever bought something you thought wouldn't work but used it and it did?

Yes.  I bought furniture coasters from Magic Slider.  (The big heavy round 3,200lb capacity ones.) I had a HUGE old fashioned entertainment center.  The kind where you put a small tv inside (the largest it could hold was a 24inch) and it's got four doors (two on the right that close to hide the tv and two on the left to hide the players and/or cable box),  and drawers to hide the vhs tapes.  It was all one solid piece in hard wood and extremely heavy (even after I spent three hours removing screws, the back, all the doors and drawers and was left with just the frame).  And I had to move it across two rooms, down one flight of stairs and across concrete to the curb for pick up.  It was way too heavy to pick up myself and I litterally had no help.  I was going to spend $400 on a platform cart with that same exact capasity, but in store all they had was this magic slider.  I figured if it doesn't work I'll get my money back.  Let me tell you— IT REALLY DOES WORK! I had to slide the furniture piece across carpet then tile then concret and it worked on all three surfaces.  I can tell you that funirture piece weighted over a thousand pounds and I’m a little thing at 5’4 and was able to move it myself.  Totally buy this if you got really heavy furniture.  For me it was the best 20bucks I ever spent and that beats the 400 I was going to spend.

Yes.  Halls cough drops.  That might sound funny but for years I used Robitussin until the very last time I took it and all I did until it wore off was cough.  My father suggested I use a halls cough drop instead.  I actually didn’t think it would work.  Then I put one in my mouth.  The second I swallowed I got instant relief.  Now I used Halls and never look back.

Really? I've seen commercials on tv for the sliders and they demonstrated they could slide/ move cars!        I'll definitely have to look for them! I'd buy them for $20! Thanks for sharing!

The sliders really do work!  We used them when we moved and they worked great!  We put them under the washer, dryer, refrigerator, dressers, chest of drawers, everything.  Great investment!

I never expected witch hazel to work as well as it did on my thigh.  I was boiling some lemons and the pot slipped from my hands and the water hit my thigh, giving it a nasty burn.  After the blister burst, I poured some witch hazel on it and put a rubber band around my thigh.  When I went to the doctor, it had done such a good job, they thought it happened a long time ago.  They gave me some Silverdine, which healed it even quicker than I expected.  Witch hazel works wonders on fluid leaking from your leg.  When I met my husband, he had this nasty bruise on the calf of his leg.  I put some witch hazel on it and it dried it up where it is hardly noticeable.  That was 3 years ago.

Can't say that I have. Although, I know throughout the years I've bought things that once I went to use them they didn't work. I don't usually buy things if I don't think they'll work. I think most of us tend to buy things we think will work only to be disappointed.
