I know you’ve all been anxiously awaiting the Sham WOW Wednesday guest blog spot with Mr. Jack Randall. Â You’ll remember from last weeks post that I predicted that he would, in fact, actually grace us with his presence. Â (insert ooooooohs) Â Without further adieu, I present you with, the man who lit a fire under, I mean inspired and entertained many chemistry students more than a few year ago, the man who puts the ban in banter, (doot do doo) Mr. Jack Randall….
OK, first things first. The name Sham WOW is no doubt a registered product name with all the rights and privileges so granted. There can be no doubt that the product itself performs the task of absorbing liquids very, very well. If a person purchases one or more Sham WOWs, that person will most likely be pleased with the product.
Next, of course, is dealing with the fellow who is probably the universally recognized face of Sham Wow – the Sham Wow Guy.  He’s an interesting guy (he probably even has a name) (Not to crash your guest spot Jack, but his name is Vince Something) and either his sales pitch is particularly effective or the product sells itself. Or both.
The spectacular success of the Original Sham Wow seems to have caused the sprouting of a trio of
perhaps soon-to-be-released products: the Sham WOW Mini, the Sham Wow Nano, and the Sham Wow Shuffle. The Sham Wow Nano would fill a heretofore vacant niche for a specialty wiper-upper of spills on the atomic level. The major drawback for the consumer (but a decided advantage for the manufacturer) is that, at a 5-nanometer-square size, the Sham Wow Nano will be easy to lose.A story, being circulated among some people, that a Sham WOW discarded on the shoreline absorbed a certain popular inland lake cannot be substantiated. But, if it turns out to be true, that particular Sham WOW was really overachieving.
Accounts are evidently circulating regarding a housewife in an undisclosed location in Eastern Europe who placed a Sham Wow on the second floor of her modest home and successfully cleaned up her child’s milk spill one floor below.
According to unnamed sources, an amateur astronomer claims to possess convincing evidence explaining the water-free surface of the moon having been caused by the strategic placement of several dozen Sham Wows by Commies who sneaked to the moon at the turn off the 20th century in spacecraft on loan from an alien culture.
Rumors are spreading of the impending birth of a hybrid product: the Sham WOW Snuggie. Combining the cozy comfort of another popular cable-TV product, The Snuggie, with the unmatched absorbent power of the Sham WOW, prototypes under development have been given the nickname: Full-Body Depends.
While none of these items can be confirmed beyond a shadow of a doubt, it seems clear that the Sham WOW Phenomenon is poised to revolutionize a constant theme in the lives of all humans – the need to sop up spilled liquids. If more information becomes available, I’m sure the readers of this blog will be among the first to know.
best regards,
Jack
