“Just about anything you want to cook you can cook double-quick.”

This weekend, why not pull out the ol’ Hamilton Beach Double Mac and cook up something twice as fast as normal. Joe Namath thinks it’s the bee’s knees.

The spot aired in December of 1976.

  1. Once again, I was seduced into peeking into one of those little used and nigh well forgotten areas of the house and much to my shame, not only to find that I have this actual product, but somehow ended up with the smaller GE ‘Frank-n-Burger’ as well. On deep meditative reflection, I have a dim memory of these being a holiday gift of some kind to the parents from all us kids. On that fateful day when I loaded all my worldly belongings into my car (a late 70’s Pontiac), the parents gifted them to me, still very much unused. They lived the back of a darkened cabinet, only seeing the barest moment of sunlight when moving from apartment to first home, to again reside in the hidden back water of a corner kitchen cabinet. And now, they’ve once more been returned to the darkness, how many years will it be before the light of some future bulb again shines on them … and you know what, they’re still very much unused.

    • Haha. I don’t think you’re alone there. Store it next to your fondue pot, Ginsu knife, and macrame plant holder.
