I’m going to go back to some of the first infomercials I ever saw and say the son of the stuff by Ron Popeil. My mother actually had a vegematic, the original one, and it was actually pretty awesome and lasted about 50 years.
@cfg83 “You’re gonna love my nuts.” LOL. Not everybody did. (2009, Wikipedia.) Can’t believe the commercial got away with that line back then.
Vince was not invincible. He recently lost to the incumbent in a state race in the Texas primary.
I love my George Foreman grill. It got me away from using the microwave as much and when it broke, I had to have another.
The Snuggie, well, I love it too. In fact, when I go see a movie at the theater, I take it with me and wrap in it and I don’t get cold in the theater then.
@mycya4me i tried the OG snuggie and it just wasnt warm enough for me n was kinda itchy. Ive often wondered if theyve improved throughout the years. Im a very cold natured person, and ALWAYS take my “car blankie” inside the theater.
I haven’t seen a lot of infomercials lately, but I sometimes see Morningsave’s segments on ET or talk shows, or Jill’s Steals & Deals on the Today Show. Borrrrring …
Obnoxious as they were, those crazy exaggerated ones were a lot more entertaining. Ron Popeil, the Shamwow guy …

VAN GOGH! MANGO! TANGO! AWESOME!
The Sharper Image Ionic Breeze Quadra GP, particularly some of the last ones they made!
The original cotton/terrycloth Turbie Twist. The microfiber ones are a disappointment, but my OG one is still kicking.
Spray on hair
@tweezak cover those bald spots! by Ronco while you use the pocket fisherman!
Good ole George, sure do miss him! He was a blast
Slap chop, baby!
The Slap Chop is like the Empire Strikes Back for the Shamwow guy.

SQUATTY POTTY!!! “This unicorn changed the way I poop.” Yes mister magical unicorn sure did!!!
@PurrpetualNap I was coming to talk about the miracle of the The Squatty Potty as well.
There have been several imitations since, but nothing like the original.

@werehatrack
Do you still have yours?
@chienfou We don’t open that refrigerator anymore. It sits in the corner humming ominously. I’m not sure I want to know what’s inside.
