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.

I recently learned of her:

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.

If you ever want another, there will be at least one on the shelf of your local thrift store.

I grill chicken breasts on it in the winter, make paninis with thick sliced bread on it and grill homemade burritos on it every week or two. I bought it for pretty cheap when it showed up on slick deals. I have definitely gotten my moneys worth. Easy to clean as well.

My uncle story.
He was told to eat healthy after a life of frying the gently caress out of everything, so got a George Foreman grill.
And while showing a cousin how healthy now he was, he made something with it, put it out on the plate,
then took the drip tray that had all the hot fat, and poured it over the rest of the food on the plate.
In all seriousness, he thought this was healthier.

RIP George

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.

Another time he said 'Other than the two boxers, the ref is the most important man in the ring", so we must take the good with the bad

I've had 3 George Forman grills and use them every week, 2 of them broke and you can't seem to buy new ones locally. Had to get #2 and #3 through ebay.

It seems that making a double sized sandwich grillat an angle is now lostec.

It's not meant to replace your primary grill omg, it's so you can grill and drive at the same time, it's so you can grill on the go, any time any where. That's not novelty, it's utility.
