The Most Absurd ‘As Seen on TV’ Products That Actually Existed

Hawaii Chair

The Hawaii Chair claimed to combine work and workout by rotating your lower body while you sit. With a motorized seat that wiggled your hips in a circular motion, it was meant to mimic the movements of a hula dancer, supposedly helping you “exercise” while typing emails or answering phone calls. The infomercial’s enthusiastic pitch made it look like the ultimate multitasking miracle.

In reality, trying to use the Hawaii Chair at a desk was chaotic at best and dangerous at worst. Users reported being unable to type properly, hold coffee still, or even maintain balance. The violent swiveling motion often caused more giggles than muscle gains. Unsurprisingly, it faded quickly from the market—but its infomercial lives on in viral video infamy.
