A friend of mine owns a nursery. He wanted me to go with him to a "Home & Garden Show" to see what the hot seller was going to be.
On the way down, I came up with an idea of a "staycation" where you sell the homeowner on taking money they would spend traveling on fixing up the backyard (he installs waterfall, hardscape, etc. for you) and the family works together a few days planting and later enjoys their new backyard!
We get there and look around and I said to him "Maybe you should just put a rack of "Sham-Wows!" by the checkout. Friggen everybody was buying them up, it was nuts.

I'm trying to decide whether to become an inventor or a pitchman. I don't want to be a catcher.

I know the guy that produced that spot. He can sell ice to eskimos.

I hope what I saw on the Discover channel last nite was an April Fools joke. They had Billy Mayes talking about a new show called Pitchmen:eek:

My wife bought sham wows. She got them direct, not off TV. They totally suck. They don't dry a sweater, they don't suck up water better than my micro fiber towel I bought for the car. An old piece of felt would be the same if not better. It's a pitch alright.

Even though Vince warned me to "beware of Imitators" I just couldnt help myself. I picked up this at the Dollar Store.

Amazingly it dried the car and it was made in Germany!

Yup. For some reason my mother in law gave several of us Shamwows for Christmas. Uh.....thanks. I use them for crappy stuff that will dirty my real chamois.

Fixed...
