Fortunately he can still hawk his inventions on TV.

How many Popiell inventions can you remember???

Pocket Fisherman!!

Spray on Hair!!

Egg Scrambler!!

Holy wow! Never saw that coming. I can’t watch some of his infomercials without getting hungry. He was becoming a little annoying and redundant though. :poke:

I wish he would sell that ditzy blond woman on the infomercials to some far away concern. She drives me nuts…

He is quite a success story, for better or worse. Can’t say that I have any of his products about, but I once did buy some DD7 (?) spot cleaner from an infomercial…

The spray on hair is a trip…it had to come somehow from the concept of flocking Xmas trees…

I can’t believe anyone would actually buy, let alone use the stuff. I always wondered if after using the product, then seeing how stupid they looked in the mirror, if they picked up the can and read the fine print: “Warning. Product is permanent and cannot be washed off.”

:wink: :smiley:
