Sham-wow

Sham-wow is a "super-absorbent" towel used to clean up messes. First offered by Vince Offer, I.M. Meen made a commercial about it. However, when put to the test, it failed to live up to expectations. I.M. Meen is said to have a handkerchief that looks like a Sham-Wow.

Later, Weegee made an advert for could possibly be Sham-Weegee.
