Silly me, I thought this essay was going to be about Ron Popeil (http://www.ronco.com http://www.ronco.com).
Cue the obligatory Weird Al reference:

"It slices.."
"It dices..."
"LOOK AT THAT TOMATO!"
"You could even cut a tin can with it, but you wouldn't want to!"
Ah, good childhood memories.
For those who might care but don't know, Lisa Popeil (Ron's half sister) sang backup vocals on that song. Pretty funny.
With apologies to anyone too young to know about Ronco TV commercials ("Now how much would you pay????")
:-D
