Farewell to the King of informerchels Ron Popeil.

Anyone who is close my age grew watching the kitchen gadget commercials TV.
Ron came with Chop-O-Matic and Veg-O-Matic. I don't know if I still have his Pocket fisherman somewhere.
Also a pasta maker, Food Dehydrater, knife sets, a hair spray cover a bald spot for men, and his biggest seller the Showtime Rotisserie. Becoming Mr. "Set it and Forget it". Plus many more.
Was the founder of RONCO inc.

He was also the inspiration for Gallagher's Sledge-O-Matic.

Ron died July 28, 2021 at age 86.

R.I.P
So nice to be insane; no one asks you to explain.

So I grew up seeing this guy on TV (remember that?...oh yea, maybe you don't) and what comes to mind when I heard he had passed?.....yep, Dan Aykroid and the Bass-o-Matic.

Funny thing is that looks like a Crappy or Bluegill.
