AS SEEN ON TV!

We’ve all seen them—those cheesy TV ads for products no one needs, but millions of people buy. You’ve probably forgotten all about them. Well, heh-heh, we’re here to remind you about…

GLH#9: Hair-in-a-can from the infamous Ron Popeil (GLH stands for “great looking hair.”) A spray can of some sort of powdered pigment that sticks to your head. Just hold a few inches from your bald spot and spray! Comes in nine colors and according to the free brochure, you can use it on your dog!

THE CLAPPER: “Clap on, clap off!” From Joseph Industries, makers of the Chia Pet. “Clap twice and a lamp goes on, clap twice and it goes off. Only $19.95!”

INSIDE THE EGGSHELL SCRAMBLER: A piece of plastic with a curved needle attached. Impale the egg on the needle and it activates a motor. The needle spins inside the shell and scrambles the egg! “Outperforms a fork or whisk in every way! Scrambles the yolk and white of an egg right inside the shell in less than five seconds! You’ll use it a lot and every time you do, you’ll save washing a bowl and fork!”

THE GINSU KNIFE: From Dial Media. Ads showed a karate expert shattering bricks and kicking a watermelon, then fuming because he couldn’t cut as well as the “amazing Ginsu knife!” Sounds vaguely Asian, but it’s not—it was originally brought to the company by a salesperson who thought it was great because it never needed sharpening. But it was still just a knife…until the creative vice president of Dial came up with a Japanese-sounding name, a karatetheme ad, and the tag line: “But wait, there’s more!”

THE VEG-O-MATIC: “This is Veg-O-Matic, the world-famous food appliance. Slice a whole potato into uniform slices with one motion….Simply turn the ring and change from thin to thick slices. Isn’t that amazing? Like magic, you can change from slicing to dicing. No one likes dicing onions. The Veg-O-Matic makes mounds of them fast. The only tears you’ll shed will be tears of joy. You can make hundreds of French fries in one minute. Isn’t that sensational? Here’s your chance to own one for only $9.99!” From Ronco.
