you might be a ...oh, never mind.

I admit it, I love celebrity-endorsed products. I'm not talking about the good kind, like A-lister Nicole Kidman for Chanel. I'm talking about the other kind. The kind that makes you say, "What the heck were they thinking?" or "They must really need the money".

I spotted this in the local Safeway, right above the cheap beer. When you think of Jeff Foxworthy, do you think of teriyaki jerky? I know I will from now on!

Who can forget my other favorites- Tommy Lasorda's "It's not sorta good, it's Lasorda good!" Popcorn or George Jones Dog Food? Have you seen Dwight Yoakam's line of frozen food?

I know someone who actually met Smokey "The soul is in the bowl" Robinson when he was at a local Pak 'n' Save promoting his frozen gumbo.

Those are the kind of celebrity-endorsed products I really love. I'm not saying I would actually eat any of that stuff. How about you? Do you have a favorite?

ps- I also adore bad celebrities on informercials. Do not get me started.

YES!!! I love it.

That fact that there's a recall makes it even worse (or better?).

I have fond memories (mammaries?) of Jane Russell's Playtex bra commercials: "cross your heart" bras for "full-figured gals!"

[Roxanne]

Oh, poor Jane Russell! Now there's a sex symbol if there ever was one.

However, she did make "full figured gal" a common household phrase!

Do you remember Ray Bolger as the spokesman for Scotch Buy? Some cheap grocery store brand. Even as a little kid I felt let down that Mr. Bolger lowered himself by dancing in a kilt to sell bargain paper towels on TV.

*gasp!*

I will sleep better at night just knowing that this exists. You absolutely made my day!

Thank you!
