Ron Popeil's ingenious crap
by Jason Weisberger from on (#35EKS)
Once, humanity was challenged with the effort of scrambling eggs. Then came Ron Popeil.
Ron Popeil is like the dad in Gremlins, except he was real. The man invented everything cool you could buy from a tv commercial when I was a kid. The Popeil Pocket Fisherman? The Smokeless Ashtray? The Snaffler? Who tried GL-9 Hair Spray?

Ron's inventions were so prolific, and so effectively sold, he formed RonCo to front them all.

Somehow Donald Trump is President and not Ron Popeil.
