The famous founder of the multi-million dollar company Ronco and their memorable infomercials is Ron Popiel.

I know this sounds dumb but when I read it I thought it might be a kick to watch.

"Biography: Ron Popiel" will be shown on the Biography Channel next Tuesday (8/15).
I guess you gotta check your local listing for the time.

I believe he also invented the "pocket fisherman."

All stuff from RONCO and POPIEL are from his companies.

Ronco Products

It Slices! It Dices! It Makes Julienne Fries! And It Was Invented By Ron Popeil
"His Ronco (which stands for "Ron's company") also gave us the Dial-O-Matic ("slices a tomato so thin it only has one side" and the Pocket Fisherman ("the biggest fishing invention since the hook")."


Ginsu - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Despite the Japanese-sounding name, Ginsu Knives were actually manufactured in Fremont, Ohio by the Quikut Division of cutlery manufacturer Scott Fetzer. Today, both Dial Media and Ginsu Knives are owned by billionaire Warren Buffett."

Why don't they do infomercials with Lisa and Lauren?

Ron may have come up with some goofy products but he's a Gajillionaire so he's got that going for him.....which is nice.
