1981 Ronco commercials- Autocup & Smokeless Ashtrays

Finally had some time to dig through more old tapes and found these Ronco commercials that aired back-to-back. The beginning was taped over so that's why it starts in the middle.

Almost ALL the Ronco commercials I've seen have the "Great Christmas Gift!" spiel; did they ever air these the rest of the year?

Woolworth is alive and well... in England.

Back in those days a man could blow his smoke in a woman's face like a boss.

Thanks for posting. Now that I think about it they were most visable during Christmas.

I think the only problem with the Smokeless Ashtray is the constant airflow would cause your cigarette to burn faster.

@peeweecee actually last year i saw a tv news show talking about how ronco sold his infomercial business or some of his products like the rotissery and knife show stuff and got $50 million for it. at first i thought he was just another has been who didnt make it or made it for a while selling stuff but probably broke even or not even that, but was surprised last year when i found out he was a multimillionaire

I wonder if Ron Popeil ever made any money with all his wacky products. I think the showtime rotisserie was probably the only profitable one.
