After Foreman got beat down by Ali, he got really angry & went into
depression for many years. After that, he reemerged with a big smile. His
entired attitude changed. He became a ring-side expert commentator at HBO
boxing events. People noticed that smile. Because he was well known and
had that smile, IMO, he was picked to help market those grills. Of course,
you could see the fat rolling off the grill into the little tray, so that
naturally meant that it had to make eating a fat steak more healthy. Of
course, college students like grills and so do many of us. Lots of us here
own or have owned one of these, I'd bet. I rarely use mine now because it's
such a damn pain to clean.
