• Mick doesn't remove the guacamole with a 'plastic knife', but with a small spatula. Thus, technically, he doesn't "use a knife".

• I just want whoever deleted the conspiracy theories section to know that I am at a rally right now with over 400,000 people protesting the magic bullet and claiming the conspiracies. MooCow 03:34, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

• The fact that somebody would remove such a chillingly plausible theory is despicable. - 23twentythree 3:19, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

• To 71.108.252.142, just about everyone knows someone who knows a guy that dated a chick that owned a Magic Bullet. You might hear the same story from any small town in the world. The real question is, why are you reading a wikipedia article on the magic bullet? *cough*loser*cough* -Pdelongchamp 11:03, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

• The evidence such as a the nicaderm quote "There is no magic bullet" or what Condalezza Rice said "There is no magic bullet" were totally taken out of context and you know it. Why would a company make a fake product such as the magic bullet just to trick people. There would be much more effective and easier ways to steal from people. This is dumb.

• The product exists... I own one... It was not hard to get... There is no conspiracy here. To those who are ignorant of the REAL meaning of "magic bullet" look it up in wikipedia, and you will see why a comment like that quoted is completely accurate and has nothing to do with this product. I have removed and altered some of the information, and removed the dispute.

Ok, guys. The article is for an actual product, and does contain some factual information, but isn't this stuff better suited for Uncyclopedia? If it doesn't get fixed, I'm putting it up for deletion. StvnLunsford 21:05, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

No no, this is great. It made my day to see the "plot" of an infomercial described in detail in an encyclopedia, together with biographies of all the "characters".

You're presumably referring to the information about the infomercial. I don't see how this infomercial is any different from a movie, or why it should be treated any differently from one.

Things Cut from Infomercial

To whoever added the parts about the carrot juice and airtight lids, thank you! I had completely forgotten about those parts.

-- Wvoutlaw2002 here. It was actually me who added those parts. One other part I failed to mention that was also cut from the original infomercial was Fred's line of "That's very sneaky" before Wilma's line "And the kids will never know".

What's this entry about?

There a paragraph about the product, then the rest is about the infomercial. What gives? Is the infomercial of such importance to merit such coverage? --72.202.150.92 06:28, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Yes. The infomercial is of great notoriety, and some cultural significance. Algabal 02:40, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Characters

I removed the caracters section from the article. I included it below.Pdelongchamp 19:10, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

• Mick - Host. He is Australian, although he sounds English. Loves party drinks and curry powder.
• Mimi - Hostess. Her relationship to Mick is unclear, though the two seem to be romantically involved. She loves mangos, raspberries, and milkshakes made with chocolate bars and peppermint candies. She playfully mocks Mick's love of curry powder when they make chicken salad.
• Berman - Caustic, overweight bald man. The "party animal" of the bunch, he shows up in the kitchen with a hangover (the result of the previous night's barbeque), for which Mick and Mimi both tease him. Hates broccoli.
• Hazel - Older woman with a raspy "smoker's voice", glasses and unkempt hair dressed in bathrobe. Has a partially-smoked, unlit cigarette in her mouth for most of the presentation, though it disappears and reappears over the course of the show. Hates chopping garlic. (Note: In the Australian broadcast of this advertisement, she is highly edited. Only showing parts where she is not smoking. Only seen saying "Chopping Garlic")
• Wilma - Fred's wife. She is a mother who laments that her children don't eat enough vegetables. She can see herself using the Magic Bullet every day.
• Fred - Wilma's husband. Loves nachos. (Wvoutlaw2002 here. I don't think he was ever officially named Fred, unless he was in the original cut.)
• Ike - Seems to have a constantly glazed expression. Likes omelettes with "everything" - namely ham, tomatoes, onions, and cheese.
• Ike's wife/girlfriend - Constantly amazed at the versatility and speed of the Magic Bullet and, like Wilma, can see herself using the Magic Bullet every day. Her name is not given during the entire presentation, although fans of the show often refer to her as "Blondie". In the recent infomercial for the Magic Bullet to Go, she was referred to as Tina, and she was accompanied by a new man instead of Ike. (As with Fred and Wilma's names being an homage to Fred and Wilma Flinstone, Ike and Tina could be an homage to Ike & Tina Turner.)
