Slip Sliding Away


Here is the latest wacky invention being pitched by legendary infomercial star Billy Mays.

Am I missing something here? Do I really need this contraption to cook hamburgers that are 1/2 the size of normal burgers?

Billy literally hypnotizes millions of people to buy completely unnecessary products. I sat in front of my television last weekend and let him yell at me for 30 minutes about Mighty Putty. Half way through the infomercial, my 9 year-old son brings the phone to me and says; "Dad, we have to get some of that Mighty Putty". I think the main reason my son wanted this product was because he had just smashed something in the other room.

If you really like your miniature hamburgers cooked perfectly, go ahead and grab you one of these. Otherwise, meet me at Chili's.
