Yes, they were on TV first moved from subpennies to around .02 for weeks and then when the retail announcements started they took off and never looked back until .28. We have a far better product IMO, this is something most of us here have bought and love. The other had a product I never needed. BTW I just ordered more bulbs to try when I trvel Thursday through Sat and I am in a smoke filled room alot and I feel like I will get cancer from the second hand smoke. When I do get to try these I will let everyone know how they work in a very smoke filled room.
