I had a Pocket Fisherman™. That thing was useless. How the hell can you work with a six inch rod?

I had a teacher in high school that was obsessed with the hair in a can. At least I think it was high school but now I can't think of what teacher that would of been. My bald head would need a lot of instant hair.

That might be the craziest commercial I've ever seen. That must be the thing Homer was using in The Simpson's when he was going around singing "Convoy" and annoying the shit out of everyone.

The "Set it and forget it" gimmick.

well-known huckster with quality commercials...some good ideas, but the product that i had, just didn't cut it.

i had the smokeless ashtray. loud and the fan/wind would make the cigarette burn uneven - affecting the taste.

One of my college roommates is from Wheaton, his father worked for Ron Popeil, Inc. when we met. He had a closet full of merchandise in their home, virtually everything they made. We used the in-shell egg scrambler making breakfasts quite often, and it works very well.

the food dehydrator


was he the one selling what was kinda of an early George Forman grill or panini press? I remember them putting canned apple pie filling between 2 slices of white bread, closing it and being like "YOU CAN MAKE APPLE PIE IN 5 MINUTES"

I bought the Showtime Rotisserie and after one chicken, the thing was a greasy disaster...uncleanable.

I loved his goofy commercials but never thought about buying any of his crap.

We had a small rotisserie at home when my wife first moved in together. I think her mom gave it to us as a house warming present or something. Wasn't that one. We used it a ton back then. Remember having to be careful about how big the Hutterite chickens we got at the store were as there was a limit to what you could fit in there.
