He lived a long life and named many of his children. Recently he appeared in a telecast where he demonstrated the benefits of his diet and physical condition at his advanced age.

Are those grills still a thing? It feels like a thing that would be super lovely long term for it's fad purpose but pretty useful if you just had a lovely kitchen and weren't willing or able to replace it with something better. Basically the same thing as an air fryer.

We got a george foreman grill as a wedding gift split between three guests. It was a bad gift. There was no room for it in our apartment so it stayed on top of the fridge. When we bought a small house, there was still no room for it on our crowded countertop. I smashed it in the driveway and threw the pieces in the garbage. Smashing the grill improved my marriage. We made love that night.

I have fond memories about buttering a particularly dry hot dog or a corn cob in the drip tray and slapping it on the grill and clamping down.

If anyone has any remembrances of drip trays, now is the time to share them.

Bummer. Rest in peace big george.

I remember there was a pretty infamous boxing match that he was doing commentary on. one of the boxers was going through a bit of a nervous breakdown, most of the commentators were ragging on the guy, when he was clearly having a bad time of it, George said "Well, he's gone through a lot recently and it can happen to anyone. he needs some help, and if i could, i'd go up there and give him a hug." Thankfully, after that match, in the intervening years, that boxer sorted out his problems, and went on to continue being successful. I can't remember the guy's name, but i remember one thing about him, he used to spar with mike tyson, and was one of the few people who could actually keep up with him during a sparring session, dude was a certified badass. but even badasses can have a mental health crisis.

I'm old enough to remember when they were being sold before the George Foreman endorsement.

They used to be sold out of mail order catalogs in the late 80's and early 90's, before they started appearing on informercials with George Foreman. I believe this was due to the success infomercials started having in the early 1990's, such as "Amazing Discoveries", as well as Cathy Mitchell. She's known today mostly for the copper pans, but she was doing infomercials for stick blenders and sandwich toasters in the early 1990's.

The grills are fine. My folks still occasionally use theirs.

I had one for a long time. It's not good for many things but it's darn good at a few things and crazy easy cleanup
