Recently, I was going through some old files and came across an article that appeared in the Chicago Tribune 20 years ago this month, “Japan’s King of the Infomercial.” While a lot has changed over the past two decades, I still remember my 10-year-old self begging my father for the Popeil Pocket Fisherman I saw on TV…and by the way, I still consider myself “just a punk from Chicago.”
I hope you enjoy this throwback!
