I also forgot that many years ago when they first came out my mom bought both me and my sister George Forman grills. My sister and I both looked at each other and laughed so hard. Then we both complained about how we were going to have to lug the silly thing back to our homes (parents live in texas and we both live in different states). I'm glad I never tossed it out because years later when I finally learned how to cook my Forman grill became my favorite kitchen appliance.
