George Forman Grill
 

Did you know that the guy who invented that shit was on salary,,, I would kill myself. :Oh crap

There's tons of patents filed on salary. Actually, a large number, if not the majority, of patents being filed are 'house patents'--e.g. you develop a better way to make a gadget part, etc etc. Also, the patents are filed for strategic purposes--ie., head off competition.

i thought george foreman invented it?

dude, george foreman is the front man only.

I'm sure hes paid well though

but not as well as he'd be if he sold the patent

I doubt George Foreman can tie his own shoes, let alone invent something.

Still a great product.

It's funny how Foreman makes more promoting the product than the engineer who designed it.

The Foreman grill is just a big short circuit with a teflon coating.

love my foreman :)

So your saying George Forman didn't invent the rotisserie grill either?

All i know is i love my Grill!!! There is nothing better than getting home knowing i can whip up a decent meal in 8 mins using it...

funny story george foreman sold the rights to his name for a lump sum payment based on the declining revenue sales of the original george foreman grill.

The new owners of the name, release all of those other george foreman products, which meant that Georgie boy got screwed out of millions.

That is totally priceless!

:) ha ha ha ha ha ha

I hate contracts. Deal with people you can trust and work on a handshake, renegotiate for fairness as needed.

The guy who invented Post-its was on salary too. :(

he sure could fuckin box though

no shit. it was a joke.

:Oh crap :Oh crap :Oh crap

I love my grill. It's my favorite appliance.

3M makes tons off that every year

I would be dead without that grill

My parents love that shit. Gave it to them for Christmas, it has been a huge hit with them. I personally love a nice propane grill for outdoors :-)

I use it loads the little ones are cool till the teflon wears out but I had two bigger ones and they both broke after a while but they are so cheap I just buy a new one

Wow, had no idea the inventor was on salary... that sucks. I knew GF was a pitch man, lol. Most celeb's who endorse products are just pitch men
