It’s Popeil’s Pocket Fisherman and we still have a working one in our [actually my] things I don’t really need, but don’t really want to throw away stash.
The Sharper Image Ionic Breeze Quadra! Still using a few of them, still working as well as new. I wonder if that old 1-800 number I have memorized still works.
Keeping good memories alive…
My grandfather was ahead of his time, always coming up with some sort of invention. Back in the late 60’s he told me stories about inventing those frozen ice packs we use in coolers and also writing jingles for radio commercial that were stolen after he’d sent them in to be published. Obviously he had no patent. He worked in refrigeration repair before he got into selling TV’s and major appliances. The best thing that he had made (but I wasn’t ever told any story behind it) was something similar to The Clapper. He’d put a crap load of keys on a huge oversized keyring and would shake it making noise to shut off and turn on the TVs. Back then THAT was the closest thing to a wired or wireless remote control! I thought it was the neatest thing ever, and yes I was only 5 years old! Lol Keeping good memories alive, fun times!
Have all you need to go fishing today with the Ronco Pocket Fisherman! One of the original As Seen on TV products, the Ronco Pocket Fisherman has thrilled generations of fishing enthusiasts and casual fishermen.
@pakopako Oh - of all the things advertised this way, I think Oxiclean was the absolute best. I use it all the time! I do remember being ready skeptical of the ads at the time, too.
The Slanket.
Related to the poll.
@yakkoTDI came here to make sure the Slanket was represented. Carry on, everyone.
@yakkoTDI ooh, Ove-glove!
Vegematic
or even the Ron Popeil pasta machine

Showtime Rotisserie. “Set it and forget it.”

I have both the last two & use them all the time!
@mycya4me
Tater mits actually works?
@mycya4me the Snuggie and GF grill?
Flowbee was a classic bowl cut.
Someone once sent us two Snuggies. We never figured out who!
@Kyeh OMG you did not know… I do… it was Santa Clause!
@mycya4me Hah! It wasn’t at Christmas, though …
@Kyeh But that is OK… hehehe, One of Santa’s Agents in Disguise that work the Rest of the year when he is NOT! You got to watch out for them!
@mycya4me
Well then I wish they’d send me something I actually want! 
/giphy the clapper
Anything invented by the legendary Ron Popeil - especially spray on hair in a can.

The BlendJet. They convinced my wife.

SlapChop
@2many2no I kind of wish they’d given it the name/tagline Chops-a-lot, the at-home guillotine for fruits and vegetables!
@2many2no He looks so sinister!
@2many2no @Kyeh he was; also, don’t pay attention to the sales pitch as it has bits of word salad inside.
@2many2no @pakopako Yikes. I looked him up and found some pretty weird stuff he’s done. So sinister, yes, I’d say so.
Chia Pet
@lonocat Yes they were some of the Koolest Holiday things
@lonocat @mycya4me could you eat those things? (It was chia after all)
@lonocat @pakopako Yes I think that the Chia is eatable then the “pet” what do you do with it??
Clap on

@xenophod
Oh yeah I forgot about him and all of the little treasures he came up with!
There are so many to choose from. I’m torn between these:
Cheap, extremely useful, and mostly indestructible (if not run over by car wheels). Several are kept at various locations in my house.
i had a clapper years ago, my dog would bark in the middle of the night and set it off lol good times
Two more and I’ll stop
The Yanket:
Definitely anything Ron Popeil. “Set it, and forget it!”. I still have the old dial-o-matic food slicer.
And the Vince Offer products, Slap Chop “you’re gonna love my nuts!” and the Schticky, “problem with that shedding pussy?”
Oh, and during the slapchop commercial was the Graty. “Tacos, fettuccine, linguini, martini, bikini”
@jnicholson0619 classic word salad; I thought he was having a stroke
Crazy glue, Flex seal, Oxy clean were, IIRC, all ASoTV things before they became more mainstream.
@pakopako Oh - of all the things advertised this way, I think Oxiclean was the absolute best. I use it all the time! I do remember being ready skeptical of the ads at the time, too.
Can’t think of the Snuggie without this popping into my mind
