Remember the Ginsu Knife?

In Japan, the hand can be used like a knife...but it can't cut a tomato!

Ginsu became one of the most popular and widely-marketed products in history, even attracting a celebrity clientele.

How much would you pay for a knife like this? Don't answer, because...

Despite the Japanese-sounding name, Ginsu Knives were actually manufactured in Fremont, Ohio by the Quikut Division of cutlery manufacturer Scott Fetzer.

Nothing better than the cheese of slick advertising eh?

But WAIT, there's more...

Rumor has it our snow is going to start melting and I for one can hardly wait. How's that for a random musing about a retro commercial from the 80's???
