    Bought my mam one of these yokes, as I've been led to believe they're healthier, handier for her to use and drains away all the fat etc.

    What was her reply when she opened it up?

    George Foreman???

    What the hell does he know about cooking, sure doesn't he play the banjo!!!!

    Obviously getting mr Formby and Foreman confused there Ma!


    Give me strength!

    Feck all, it is really weird how people just accept it as normal, It would be like having a Darina Allen punchbag. My sister calls it "the george", and the name is now used to describe other similar units, like hoovers or ipods. -many of the other brands are far better designs than the george foreman ones. On some things like frozen chicken burgers I have seen cooking instructions, OVEN, GRILL, GEORGE FOREMAN.

    Apparently Hulk Hogan could have got the grilling machines instead of Foreman, his agent picked a blender instead which flopped.
