I didn't know Ronco were stil going.
It's been a long time since we had Ronco ads at Christmas. That was the only time they ever advertised gear in the UK.
You knew Christmas was fast approaching when old Ron popped up on your screen.

Do you remember spray on hair?

I was getting off an airplane many years ago and the guy in front of me had used the product. It looked like he had spray painted his head.

I have never heard of spray on hair...then again, it was probably before my time

Vince from ShamWow better tread lightly, or the Bounty "nuclear" option may have to be deployed...this was "leaked" to the press a few years back, so it is common knowledge. Trust me, this is only the tip of the iceberg...

Long regarded as an impossibility by the world's top paper-towel engineers, the revolutionary three-ply towel features a patented triple-weave moisture blotter that exponentially increases strength and absorbency without sacrificing softness.

Bounty officials called the new towel "the quickest picker-upper in human history."

"By breaking the three-ply barrier, Bounty has achieved a level of spill-absorption power competing paper-towel manufacturers can only dream of," Bounty vice-president of product development Randolph Stenzel said. "This is a very exciting time to be at Bounty."

Developed at a reported cost of $2 billion, the new towel is the first to feature the Oblitersorb™ moisture-punishing system. The advanced system, located deep within the core of the third ply, uses special anti-wetness agents to trap moisture inside walled micro-chambers. Once trapped, the moisture is violently pummeled into submission by a contracting textile-weave lattice-grid and then converted to simple molecular form and rereleased into the home's atmosphere as inert gases. Strategically placed vent points in the paper towel's quilted surface aid in the dispersal of the harmless vapors.

Breaking The Ply Barrier

"The hydrotropic power of Bounty has increased exponentially with the addition of the third ply," said Dr. Gene Dubrow, executive director of the Bounty Spill Control Institute. "We're not talking just 33 percent more spill-fighting action–Bounty's quicker-picker-upper capacities have actually been cubed."

Continued Dubrow: "Consider this: If a roll of three-ply Bounty is placed on a countertop, any spill within a 10-foot radius will actually travel to the roll."

Despite his enthusiasm for the new three-ply towel, Dubrow stressed that users of the product should exercise caution and carefully read the warnings on the label before use.

"Naturally, any paper towel this rapaciously absorbent must be used properly in order to ensure safety," Dubrow said. "For instance, the product should never be left unattended. If left out for more than an hour, a roll may absorb a home's entire supply of moisture, creating an uninhabitable humidity-free environment. Users simply need to make sure to return the roll to its special shrink-wrap product-suppression containment sleeve immediately after use."


A look inside the new Bounty Three-Ply System
Dubrow went on to note the extreme importance of wearing protective rubber gloves and eyewear at all times when handling three-ply Bounty. He also warned consumers to keep the product away from small pets, children and the elderly.

Alarmed by the new paper towel's potentially dangerous, unchecked absorbency, leading consumer-safety advocates say it should be banned.

"In laboratory tests, mice exposed to open rolls of three-ply Bounty died within minutes, their bodies reduced to withered, dessicated husks," said Janice Messerschmidt of Safety First!, a San Francisco-based consumer-advocacy group. "Is this the sort of irresponsible drying power we want in our kitchens?"

Despite the controversy, the new product, which is drawing interest from the military for its potential use as a weapon, is being hailed as the greatest advance in the field of spill-wiping in decades. But Procter & Gamble, manufacturer of Bounty, is not resting on its laurels. Products currently in the works include a dandruff-detonating Head & Shoulders, a Scope mouthwash that brutally beats and tortures the germs that cause bad breath, and a "universal solvent" Cheer laundry detergent that is capable of dissolving all known matter.

Though the new three-ply paper towel has revolutionized wiping, Bounty scientists strongly rebuffed the notion of developing a fourth ply at a later date. "That would be playing God," product developer Dr. Ernest Schumann said. "There are some doors science was not meant to open."

Where o where did you find THAT, Kelly??

LT

ps. my favorties are the "before & after" info commercials, like Bosley's Hair replacement and ANY of the weight loss ones... geesh... anyone with one brain cell left can tell that 90%+ of those are different people!!!

[[JiF]corn]

Hmm....different people? Really?

I never by those products anyway!

I'm suprised that Tissueman didn't have any input on Kelly's quote

I'm suprised that Tissueman didn't have any input on Kelly's quote

Before I retired, Kelly, Waterboy and I all worked at the same place. Kelly was in upstream development (and probably still is). I was in tech support and Waterboy worked with water systems. Kelly and Waterboy are still there.

I'd have commented on it, but it was too many words. LOL!
