In This Economy?

Love him or hate him, there is no question that Billy Mays had an impact on the economy.

So, to honor him, we’ll be rolling out one of his infomercials (with a wee bit of commentary of course) every day this week.

Day 2: Orange Glo

“I love beautiful wood! Don’t you?”

Orange Glo is the one and only wood cleaner you will ever need. The makers of Orange Glo were in such a hurry to get this thing out into the public’s hands, that they forgot to put the “w” on the end of “glow”.

Billy Mays knocks it out of the park on this one. Whether he’s dunking wood panels into a random fish tank or wiping down absurdly filthy cabinets with that amazing glo-ing juice of sanitation, he’s totally in control.

I do think the Orange Glo people missed an opportunity at the end though when they didn’t let Billy double or even triple the offer, but I guess they thought the bonus floor cleaner was enough.

Plus, it smells like oranges!!! YEAH!!
