Say this about the guy. He was effective. Got me hooked on OxiClean, which I had never heard of before a few years ago.

I'm wondering, does that epoxy miracle thingy "Mighty Putty" he pitched actually work as advertised? Just stick it on a leaky pipe and presto, it's fixed? Or shape into the handle of a coffee cup? Anyone try that stuff? He was pushing a three fer the other night.

Funny that he was a pitch man in Atlantic City...as was Ed McMahon in earlier times...and that they both died so close together.
