Ronco Food Dehydrator And Veg-O-Matic FULL Infomercial

This is the full 28 minute spot for the Ronco Ronco Food Dehydrator and Veg-O-Matic.

[@imcannabess]

I wanted one of these so bad as a kid, and today for Christmas my boyfriend gifted me the Ronco Food Dehydrator!

[@marioiacolucci]

Ron’s products make a great gift 🎁

[@MrPlaiedes]

Hold it! If you call right now now. You'll get the dehydrator, 25 set knife set, the whole line of hair products, a lifetime warranty and ...I'll even throw in Nancy.

[@mikeman5239]

Uujuuu

[@asabado2012]

Nancy always seemed nice but I bet as soon as the cameras turned off she was like "somebody give me a cigarette, my paycheck, and don't call me cause I'm gonna be shitfaced until Monday!"

Rest in peace, Ron. This along with the pasta maker and rotisserie cooker were my favorites to watch as a kid. Made weekends visiting with my Dad before the internet~along with some three stooges in the morning :)

[@chrischriskrisss]

My mom still has one of these stashed away in a box. I'll have to dig it out to see if it works. Let the dehydration begin!!

I wanted this so, so badly as a kid. I wanted to make my own jerky. But I never had it. I never made my own jerky. But I lived. Somehow.

[@patrickharrison4763]

Don't give up the dream! I made it this year in my oven and it was incredible. Gotta get the meat from a butcher, store bought meat comes out like shit.

[@chemlearner2721]

You get them perfect and uniform each and every time! Proceeds to show that about half the time it cuts a half piece.

[@asabado2012]

Best infomercial ever. I used to watch this when there was nothing on at like 130am. I was probably 12 so I never bought one but it always seemed like it probably works.

[@shadowman2192]

This actually seems like something I really would use. The fruit snacks and beef jerky would be good.

[@19quake88]

+Draven This is actually a great product. I love the dehydrated banana chips and, yes, the beef jerky is superb!

Apparently off camera he was very aggressive

[@mims738]

@@ArtVandelayOfficial I could see that!

[@Lightshade393]

It really is odd. It's like they were going for a "talking to your friends", off-the-cuff style of talking with one another and about the product. Seems like it wrapped straight around into making it odd, with them talking over one another, asking questions that don't get answered, and going on tangents stop halfway through and don't lead anywhere.

[@MikeHarris1984]

I saw this infomercial so much as a kid... it was always on... late night, sunday mornings, etc... I've seen this entire infomercial so many times i am now 39 and could still recite it after not seeing it for like 25 years...

I love how all the payments are “easy”

[@thecraftycyborg9024]

I discovered I already had an amazing machine for drying herbs. It was in my laundry room all this time- my ikea folding drying racks. Instead of laying clothes on the racks, I used cooking twine to tie up bundles of herbs and hung them from the rack. It dries reasonably quickly down in my basement, but if I want to dry it in under 4 days, I just set it near my dehumidifier (needed to cool a house economically around here). Works great.

[@binkersbonkers244]

I love the woman's over the top acting!!

[@8MKWeb8]

god they just keep talking over each other

I remember I was like 7 years old or something and went to a friend's house for the evening. They had this in their kitchen and I was like, "Cool, we're going to eat those later" Hours later that night I never got any of it and my parents picked me up. Made me resent that machine. Don't show me food you're making if I can't have any!

Actually... that little Ronco Dehydrator works great. Just make sure to follow the directions on how to dehydrate certain things and you won't be stressing and bitching about it "not working". Of course, don't expect too much from a machine that costs $40! If you want something that works amazing then get something more expensive top of the line dehydrator. So the question was, does Ronco Dehydrator work? Yes!

[@jeremyquiros5483]

So, Dankpods just reviewed the Go Bible Traveler, a digital audio Bible sold a while back. According to the packaging, it was "Narrated By Emmy Award Winner, Stephen Johnston". I looked up Stephen Johnston, and it seems that in addition to narrating the Bible, he also voiced over Ronco commercials. Based on audio I've listened to from his Bible narrations, I can confirm beyond a reasonable doubt that that is Emmy Award Winner Stephen Johnston's voice at 0:23.
