But wait! There’s more!
Order now and we’ll throw in two free tickets to Ron Popeil’s funeral, where he’ll personally demonstrate his brand new Ronco Crematomatic! Just pop the body in, set it, and forget it! In five minutes you’ll have the ashes scooped and sealed in a free set of four Ronco Superstrength Urns!

Hell...I thought he died 10 years ago.

"He also set a QVC record in 2000 selling over $1 million worth of his Showtime Rotisseries — or approximately 150 units each minute — during a one-hour live segment." That's amazing!

A guy I know actually ordered and used Polpeil’s bald-spot spray. It looked really pathetic.

I have the pasta maker. It actually works pretty good.

My brother ordered one of those "Set it and Forget it" Showtime rotisserie grills. He said when he opened up the box, the first thing he saw was a large piece of paper that said "DO NOT TAKE 'SET IT AND FORGET' LITERALLY!"
But I gotta go with the spray bald spot coverer as the greatest of them all.
To: Loyalist
Are you sure he didn’t wish to be sliced and diced first?

Years ago in the New Yorker they had a profile of him. When he worked in an office in downtown NY it said that the secretaries would take their break when he went out just to look at him. I guess back in the day he was gorgeous.
RIP Ron.
