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 β€œAs 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
