OMG I remember all of these as a kid. I used to see these commercials on t.v. between watching reruns of Star Trek. I used to see them in the afternoon after school.

As a child of the 1970's, I remember Ronco!

Ron Popeil Was The Santa Claus Of The 70's! Getting One Of These Gifts For Christmas Was Awesome!🎄🎅

I was born in May 1969 and this reminds of my childhood, especially the holiday ones. Thanks for posting this.🙏🇺🇸👍

That was a lot of fun, thanks. 76 baby here. What a deal!

My father actually worked for him back in 70s. Ron was Mr Popeils son. Ron had the cheesy stuff like mr microphone and the glass froster. his dad had all the classic productions, like the dial-o-matic and such.

The ending voiceovers for Popeils Dial O Matic and Ronco's Flower Loom Kit was v/o by former WUAB Channel 43 (Now My-43) Cleveland, Ohio staff announcer Marty "Superhost" Sullivan and the ending v/o for Ronco's Battery Tester was v/o by Jim Barton and the ending v/o Ronco's Egg Scramber was v/o by Ron Beattie (both Beattie and Barton were former staff announcers at (now FOX affiliate) WFLD in Chicago).

Im going to dig in my parents cabinets, I would bet they still have the dial matic.

Hahaha the egg scrambled . Lol. Just shake the egg and it does the same thing

My school in 3rd grade had dozens of the glass bottle cutters. We would bring in bottles from home and make glass sets. After cutting we would sit on the cement sidewalks swirling the glasses around to smooth the lip of glass. Can you image kids today doing that, having broken glass and no safety goggles or gloves, or supervision. Them my mom would pick us up in her el Camino and six neighborhood kids would ride in the back. No seats, no belts, we all survived!

RIP Ron Popeil

@Ryan Zwolinski - Actually, the ending voiceover for the Battery Tester spot is Jack Taylor, former WGN-TV Channel 9 Chicago staff announcer.

I have one of those slicers in my cabinet. But it's called something else now. Plus I got one of those cookie things back in the 1980s and I still use it to this day, but mine isn't automatic and has no attachment to make deviled egg designs.That egg scrambler was a dud. I bought thm twice. They had a pin inside to scramble the egg it lasted about three days.

Ohhh I remember the Buttoneer 2 product as my Mom had one, somewhere back in early 1977! Ahhh great memories! 🙂🙂

America created two marketing geniuses. Ron RONCO Popeil and Steve BLACK TURTLENECK Jobs

Damn. Ronco could make anything. Even clear eggs.

I read once that Ron Popeil himself hated egg whites, which is why he invented the egg scrambler.

I don't know about the rest of his products, but the Ronco Rotisserie made billions of dollars. Yes, billions. Malcolm Gladwell even referred to him as one of the greatest marketing geniuses in history in "The Dog Came Back", precisely because all his infomercials thoroughly explained the products he was selling..

wow, i didn't even know so many of the ronco products existed there back then. i only knew was and bought the roster thing which i loved a lot.

The only stores still in existence shown on those Ronco ads are the Circle K convenience stores that are tied with certain Shell gas stations. And Walgreens drug stores, too.

I am still looking for the cap snaffler. "Snaffles caps off all size bottles and it really really works", was as close to the verbiage as I recall.

That sounds like Ron Popeil in that first commercial.

anyone notice that 70s television often sounded like deep fried memes? lol

My house had most of these in the 70s

Ron was the perfect pitchman that sold snake oils like a sideshow act. Made Million on junk that didn't work. As kid a remember the gimmick called the "Easy Tracer".

This has to be what influenced Tim & Eric's CINCO products! :)

All those flower loom "creations" look like yarn vomit! Lol

It can scramble an egg while it’s still inside its shell!

I want The Cookie Machine.😍

Happy Valentines day

Lol at closed captions. 1:22 "I suffered with Becky, what a great Christmas gift. Bye bye Becky". Also 3:25. "The butt is near".🤣🤣

I miss the stores they were in more so.

That 2nd Dial-O-Matic pitch voice sound like Hugh Laurie.

Wow, the days when Junk was less than three easy payments of $99.

Remember folks makes a great gift

Dat tin whistle in the Christmas music, tho...

'It would be banned in great Britain' Brit here, why would bait be banned in my country? LOL

I remember this! It was back when commercials said "this Christmas" instead of "this hollowday".

The Buttoneer looks like a stapler.

Which Ronco product would be in poor taste as a Xmas gift to your spouse, The Egg Scrambler or Cellutrol? Discuss...

He sold billions...not millions but billions.

Holy crap and I old.

Under $15.00=$14.99.

The girl @ 6:14 looks exactly like Monique St. Pierre who was the (Playboy) Playmate of the year for 1976. Holy Crap she was gorgeous. I wouldn't mind scrambling her eggs.

Cellutrol might have another meaning today.

Lol... calculators that use batteries...

HEY, JUST REALIZED THATS HIS/RON'S VOICE NARRATING A LOT IF NOT ALL OF THESE COMMERCIALS!!!

Transparent egg shells now you can see it before you eat it

These ALL must have run before Xmas. What did they do the rest of the year?

do you have anything on the Ronco Car Arrest? thanks

I could use automatic buttoneer

read "the pitchman" article by Malcolm Gladwell. he made A LOT of money.

i hope my favorite commercial is cellutrol 5:29

Just goes to show that some products are a hit, and some aren't.

Was thinking of getting the egg scrambler for my wife, but I thik I'll just punch her in the ovaries instead.

battery tester???. dreally ?? are you kidding me???? = 9 ?

Did they have a product that GAVE women cellulite? That would be something I'd buy.
