Ron Popeil, the inventor and infomercial icon whose kitchen and direct-to-consumer products generated billions of dollars in U.S. sales, died Wednesday in Los Angeles. He was 86.
Mr. Microphone, Pocket Fisherman, Showtime Rotisserie, Chop-o-Matic, Hair-in-a-Can. The dude was up there with Thomas Edison and Alexander Graham Bell.

Shipping and handling on a casket has gotta be expensive.

He's always been a hell of a showman, but pulling this off twice takes the cake

I’ll never forget the Ronco Showtime 25-piece knife set. That infomercial is seared into my brain for eternity.
“Buy these three knives and we’ll throw in these other 22 knives!”
Genius. RIP Ron

He sold billions worth of stuff. He was only worth $200 million when he died. I could live like a pig from the interest on that.

I remember my first “ Popiel’s Pocket Pussy”.
