I found this forum looking for an answer to why my batteries were warm. To paraphrase Victor Kiam*, I liked it so much, I decided to join.

*Does anyone else remember him.?

You mean for his Playtex Cross Your Heart Bra commercials?

I remember the Remington Shaver ad where he was so impressed, he "bought the company". I don't remember the bra one.

That's the guy. We even used to see him advertising on UK TV. We're about the same vintage I think. I still find old US TV shows on YouTube more entertaining than the current stuff, and the sound is so much better. At the moment I'm reliving Burke's Law ?

Just a bit of Victor Kiam trivia:
"He was well-known for his turnaround of Remington’s fortunes, as well as for his commercials written by his director of advertising and sales promotion at Benrus, Howard Shavelson, whom he first worked with on the Playtex Cross Your Heart Bra commercials."
