Mental Floss:

Just because a celebrity endorses it doesn’t make it great.

Hulk Hogan’s Thunder Mixer
Hulk Hogan has claimed that the George Foreman Grill was originally offered to him, but he didn’t respond in time. The manufacturer then called George Foreman, who chose to endorse the grill instead of a blender, which became the Hulk Hogan Thunder Mixer.

Sylvester Stallone Pudding
This may be my favorite – Rocky sold pudding! Now I realize it’s actually a high-protein snack for people who want to add protein to their diet, but I really don’t care. It’s still called Sylvester Stallone Pudding, and that’s funny. There are still sites that sell this product, but it’s listed as discontinued, which is too bad for Sly.

Cheech Hot Sauce
Did you know there is actually an entire line of Cheech Marin Foods? The line of Cheech hot sauces includes Smokin’ Chipotle, Gnarly Garlic, and Mojo Mango. You have to believe Marin welcomes the comedic overtones of a hot sauce endorsed by a famous stoner.

Danny DeVito’s Premium Limoncello
I don’t even know what limoncello is. But I’m buying whatever Danny DeVito is selling. You may recall, DeVito once appeared on The View in a somewhat inebriated state, and at the time he blamed it on too many limoncellos. So the fact that he’s now endorsing this lemon-flavored Italian liqueur leads me to believe one thing – he knows the product.
