George Foreman, the former heavyweight boxer, promoted a popular electric cooking appliance named after him called the George Foreman Grill. The grill is designed to cook food more efficiently and healthily by using less oil and fats than traditional cooking methods. Foreman became the face of the product in the late 1990s and early 2000s, appearing in numerous commercials and infomercials promoting the grill's benefits and ease of use. The George Foreman Grill remains a ubiquitous fixture in many households, with over 100 million units sold worldwide.
