Billy Mays, America’s favorite infomercial star, died three years ago today.
He began his career selling the WashMatik, a car-washing brush that siphoned water through the bristles without electricity.
He moved from that to the Ultimate Chopper, and some of his other products not featured here include The Ding King (dent and ding repair kit), Turbo Tiger (a hand-held minivac), Grip Wrench (an adjustable strap wrench), Green Now (fertilizer), and something called the EZ Crunch Bowl, which promised to be “A new way to eat breakfast cereal.”
Here are the rest of the products he pitched over the next 12 years, in no particular order.
