Billy Mays must have been snorting coke slinging products before that, I swear he did something in the 90’s or was that Bob Vila?

Billy Mays was around in the marketing industry for quite some time, though I don’t think he got popularized outside of the industry itself as a commercial star until Oxy Clean or Flex Seal came around. IIRC, he had something to do with the “As Seen On TV” stuff that you’d constantly see throughout the 90’s, but he wasn’t the on camera spokesperson then, that I remember. But then again, I was 5 in 1990, so my memories are probably not solid. lol
