Ron Popeil has died at 86.
Popeil created the famous Showtime Rotisserie & BBQ and coined one of the most iconic catch phrases ever --"Set it and Forget it!!!" The product grossed more than $1 BILLION in domestic sales, shattering QVC and other sales records.
Ron was born in New York City in 1935. His first entry into business was with his dad at his manufacturing facility in Chicago, where they sold kitchen products. It obviously made an impression on him, because Ron learned and then perfected the art of kitchenry. Ron created the famed Chop-O-Matic in 1959 and it sold like crazy -- 2 million units. He followed that up with the Veg-O-Matic and another great catchphrase ..."But wait, there's more!!!" And that one's become an infomercial industry standard ... reused by product after product.
