I mean, what other of your kitchen appliances has its own Wikipedia article?

Fun fact: "The Jackie Chan Grill is the same grill as the George Foreman grill, but targets the Asian market, and has been marketed by both Jackie Chan and George Foreman."

EDIT, another fun fact:
Quote:
Although Foreman never confirmed exactly how much he earned from the endorsement, Salton, Inc. paid him $138 million in 1999 in order to buy out the right to use his name. Previous to that he was being paid about 40 percent of the profits on each grill sold, earning him $4.5 million a month at its peak, so it is estimated he made a total of over $200 million from the endorsement, a sum that is substantially more than he earned as a boxer.
