Thighmaster
One of the most memorable infomercials of the '90s, starring babe-o-rama Suzanne Somers and her new gadget, the Thighmaster.
You can see she was having a great time with this thing. And so does her doctor. Hmmm......
During the height of this infomercial's popularity, Alice In Chains released their classic Dirt album. In the opening lyrics of the first single "Would?", everyone thought they said......

R.U. A Cyberpunk? (1993)
