If the Snuggie is my fave infomercial product du jour than the ShamWow! has to be my second fave infomercial product … which is why I’m only kinda geeking out that the ShamWow! guy, whose real name is Vincent Offer Schlomi, was spotted shopping for sunglasses in Beverly Hills, CA this week:
Hahahaha … OK, I know this is kinda lame but I have a deep fascination with infomercials … for a long time. Back in the early 90’s, when infomercials started crossing over into pop culture, I used to love the Susan Powter Stop the Insanity! ads … as well as any infomercial that featured Jennilee Harrison from Three’s Company. She used to sell the Sobakawa Pillow, the Ultimate Chopper and more. While I never really became a fan of Billy Mays (who is the reigning king of infomercials these days), I have to admit that I like this Vincent Schlomi dude. To be honest, David and I even bought a box of ShamWow! towels for our home. We use them to wipe down the countertops while wearing our Snuggies. Okay, not really but … what can I say. It may be a wee bit pathetic but this infomercial stuff tends to work on me. I’m the kind of person that sees it on TV and then thinks, Hey, maybe I need that too. Hahahaha … I know I’m not alone in this but I should really stop talking about it publicly. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m gonna go use my PedEgg and cry in a corner.
