13. Ronco Showtime Rotisserie & BBQ
“I lost five pounds in a little over a week, and I’m so happy. I needed to lose some weight for some modeling pictures that I’m doing so it was just incredible to lose that much weight in such a short amount of time.”
Infomercials in the ‘90s had a really weird fixation on losing weight, and nowhere is that better evidenced by the infomercial for the Ronco Showtime Rotisserie & BBQ. The commercial spends almost three whole minutes of testimonials (which you can almost guarantee are not true) from audience members describing how much weight they lost. Despite this, the rotisserie does look like it makes incredible food, it doesn’t take up that much counter space, and it can cook a lot of different stuff.
