[–]chemguy90 391 points392 points ago

I still can't believe George Foreman named his sons and daughters George Foreman.

[–][deleted] 228 points229 points ago

Wow, 5 sons and 1 daughter named George.

[–]RegretThisName 136 points137 points ago

Talk about egocentric...

[–]zarawesome 386 points387 points ago

It's very selfless really. He wants everyone to enjoy being George Foreman.

[–]Wworkin 136 points137 points ago

If my parents truely loved me they wouldve named me George Foreman also?

[–]Neebat 233 points234 points ago

Now you know how your parents really feel about you.

[–]Wworkin 14 points15 points ago

Looking back on it I don't know how I missed it. I mean, he was a great boxer, charming and was a delicious contribution to society, why couldnt my.parents lert me enjoy being george foreman?Fuck you mom and dad!

[–]bonaducci 52 points53 points ago

I always wished he'd adopt a hispanic kid and name him "Jorge Quatrrohombre"

[–]JackBauerSaidSo 1 point2 points ago

I see many upvotes in your near future.

[–]Tally_Latino 1 point2 points ago

Happy cake day.

[–]Short_stuff 7 points8 points ago

It'd be hilarious if he gave one of the kids the middle name "The Griller".

[–]OffInBed 27 points28 points ago

"I guarantee it"

-George Foreman

[–]DELTATKG 6 points7 points ago

He's not the guy in the Men's Warehouse commercials...

[–]OffInBed 1 point2 points ago

[–]Simon_the_Cannibal 1 point2 points ago

To be fair, from my understanding, that was his rational. He couldn't guarantee that he would give his kids talent or smarts or anything, so he gave them his name - like if an independent developer was allowed to market under the name "Apple" or "Microsoft".

I'm not saying it was a good idea or makes a 100% sense, just that's what I remember him saying in some documentary or other.

[–]jax9999 4 points5 points ago

actually pretty brain damaged. he got a lot of hits to the head.

[–]djfreex 1 point2 points ago

Actually he came speak at an event my company organized one time. He talked about this and mentioned that the reason so he can remember their names easier. :) He made a funny joke about after Ali; his memory got worse.

[–]orthag 1 point2 points ago

Brain damage, actually. Can't remember names.

[–]farsightxr20 39 points40 points ago

To be fair, the daughter is named Georgetta...

[–]lunarmodule 26 points27 points ago

I think George is kind of cute for a girl, ala George on Dead Like Me.

[–]mhweaver 38 points39 points ago

I wonder why he didn't go with Georgia instead of Georgetta.

[–]thebig01 23 points24 points ago

Its like how Reggie Lewis named his daughter Reggieina instead of Regina.

[–]detergentdog 1 point2 points ago

Its essentially the same name...

[–]PhytOxRiKER 2 points3 points ago

Hmm are they pronounced the same? I read 'reggieina' and reggie - ina, as if the ina was just added on. Is it supposed to be pronounced 'regina'? Like the vowels are morph into the 'e' sound?

[–]detergentdog 2 points3 points ago

[–]JackBauerSaidSo 1 point2 points ago

NAMENOTFOUND!!!!

because fuck georgia

[–]CallTheOptimist 2 points3 points ago

That's partially because that particular George is completely adorable

[–]dantissimo 2 points3 points ago

I forgot how much I loved that show and now I'm going to rewatch it. You have rekindled long forgotten passion.

[–]lunarmodule 2 points3 points ago

:) it is a great one

[–]PeabodyJFranklin 1 point2 points ago

Fuck yeah it is. I signed a contract with DirectTV so I could get season 2 of that show as it showed.

[–]THE_HYPNOT0AD 1 point2 points ago

On a historical note, the children of Constantine I were named Constantine, Constantius, Constans, and Constantina. He also named a city after himself.

[–]Vondi 61 points62 points ago

Yes, him naming the grill after himself wasn't much of a surprise after that.

[–]MagnifloriousPhule 28 points29 points ago

I'm pretty sure someone else named it that-- if you ever saw his first informercial for it, he looked at the grill like "WTF is this thing?"

[–]Vondi 15 points16 points ago

But he was so proud of it, he even put his name on it.

[–]Ameisen 4 points5 points ago

No, he had his name changed to be named after the grill.

[–]Leezus 9 points10 points ago

Well you know, when you name one of your children after yourself, it sort of makes them special.

His method solves this problem.

[–]kihadat 7 points8 points ago*

George is a beautiful name, for a boy or a girl. Especially a girl. Or a boy.

[–]JackBauerSaidSo 1 point2 points ago

Nice try, George Foreman.

[–]booooooooooooosh 18 points19 points ago

Better than Ali, he just named his kid after himself too.

Shaky Ali.

[–]speedbrown 22 points23 points ago

womp womp

[–]SpyhopX 1 point2 points ago

You know, everyone likes to make fun of this, but his reason is actually kind of touching. He never knew his father growing up, which made him feel unwanted, so he gave his kids his name as a way of claiming them, declaring that they're his children. I found this out from a documentary I watched on George Foreman, but you can see it mentioned here.

[–]apistat 1 point2 points ago

One of my favorite jokes from 30 rock is that Tracy also named one of his sons George foreman.

[–]ktshippy 138 points139 points ago

Don't go trying to make bacon in bed now, you may burn your foot.

[–]lurker_becomes_lurkd 7 points8 points ago

But then you can bring in a man in a wheelchair to teach your employees how hard it is to be confined to one, although he might just surprise you with having nearly no problems living like anyone else.

Also, you should probably spend more time brushing your teeth. Thirty seconds is a bit short.

[–]BigSexyWalrus 1 point2 points ago

I hit my elbow, and now I have a protuberance.

[–]Deluxx00 3 points4 points ago

From what I heard, doesn't it take out all the oil of meat in one of these grills? That's why I didn't get one - because it rids the meat of all the juices. So would suck for bacon if that's true

[–]NoFeetSmell 1 point2 points ago

Dunno why you're being downvoted cos you're essentially correct. But I think some people see this as a feature as opposed to a flaw, since it makes the meats lower in fat. Somewhere in between would probably be nice. Fat tastes good :)

[–]Deluxx00 1 point2 points ago

Yeah, I'm really just wondering if it affects the taste as I had been thinking of purchasing it but saw that it kinda dries out the meat.

[–]NoFeetSmell 1 point2 points ago

It dries out burgers a bit, though I've never done any back-to-back testing to see quite how much. But that fat-drip catching pan fills up pretty quickly. I'm personally not a fan of the grill, but mostly cos the model i have is a twat to clean, even using the wet paper towel steam-clean technique.

[–]fargosucks 85 points86 points ago

Sounds like a Tracy Jordan Meat Machine might be a good next purchase for you.

[–]DudusMaximus 68 points69 points ago

They should also invest in a cornballer its the next great thing.

[–]likemaugal 228 points229 points ago

protip: cover the grill in aluminum foil when you are cooking and you never have to clean it. Just throw away the foil.

[–]Plopfish 183 points184 points ago

I heard that ruins the non-stick coating, so once you start doing that you might be stuck doing it.

I remove the food, unplug, then throw a damp paper towel in it for a minute or so. Basically steam cleans it up. Then just wipe it off very easily.

Also, I think the honorary title "King grillmaester" is to be applied. Solid tip.

[–]chadh92 4 points5 points ago

dear god...

although, back when I was working in fast food, I used to throw pans that had been sitting around for hours in the hot ovens for a couple minutes to heat up all the crusty shit on them. Much less scrubbing required. kinda the same.

[–]jacktt 1 point2 points ago

I heard about this. Left my damp paper towel on there. Forgot about it and didnt use my GF for a couple days. Apparently damp, warm paper towel plus food particles plus time equals maggot city. Dont forget about the damp paper towel kids.

[–]phyzome 4 points5 points ago

That sounds even more horrifying if you click to another tab, click back, and forget that "GF" stands for "George Foreman".

[–]Treats 612 points613 points ago

Or just throw away the grill after each use.

[–]ggerber 130 points131 points ago

It would cost about the same, good point.

[–]hombregato 34 points35 points ago

I came here specifically to complain about my uncleanable grill. Thank you.

[–]J_TX 27 points28 points ago

Protip: After cooking while the grill is still hot & plugged in throw a wet paper towel on the grill and close the lid. Wait about a minute then take several dry paper towels balled up & wipe down the surface. Everything should come off pretty easily.

[–]Shadow503 5 points6 points ago

As a lazy college student I can confirm that this is the proper way to clean your George Foreman.

[–]lifeiskickingmy 1 point2 points ago

if you remembered to unplug it so the dry towels don't catch on fire

[–]ado010 1 point2 points ago

I... I love you.

[–]jettrscga 23 points24 points ago

I got the version with removable heating surfaces. So sexy and cleanable.

[–]InnuendoPanda 6 points7 points ago

After living with a roommate in college who had one that you couldn't clean the plates I had no choice but to buy one that had removable ones when I got my own.

Best decision ever.

Buy the new one that has detachable grill plates and it takes .4 seconds to wipe them clean in the sink. Never again will I scrape!

[–]kaydub88 1 point2 points ago

I gotta say, I like you guy's style.

[–]TomorrowPlusX 7 points8 points ago

After I moved out, my old roommate never cleaned the fat trough for his grill. Never. It filled and hardened and filled and hardened.

If he had left in a shoelace or other bit of string he'd have made candles.

[–]Artology 38 points39 points ago

but the fucking tin foil sticks to the meat... if you have fillings you are in a world of hell if you accidentally bite down on tinfoil!

[–]CredibilityProblem 76 points77 points ago

I feel like I was just mugged with a pun.

[–]Bernie_Roscoe 2 points3 points ago

I downvoted the pun on reflex. It was amazing. I read your comment, wondered why a portion was bolded, and before I even comprehended my hand moved as quick as a gazzelle to the downvote arrow. You'd have been impressed.

I ended up removing the downvote in the end though. But you should count yourself lucky.

[–]fadnessd 4 points5 points ago

Or just take a sheet of folded paper towel to the still-hot grill and everything wipes right off?

[–]HMPoweredMan 13 points14 points ago

I felt this way with my cast iron skillet.

[–]johnmjones 5 points6 points ago

Nothing in my kitchen gets more use than my cast iron skillet

[–]Pilx 13 points14 points ago

Imagine if George Foreman and Bear Grylls hooked up.

Their kids would be George Foreman Grylls.

[–]petedog 26 points27 points ago

I like the convenience of a George Foreman grill, but god damn grease makes food taste better.

[–]hadhad69 27 points28 points ago

You do notice this after a while. You're meats just don't have the same succulent flavour they used too. You say 'Hey, it doesn't matter, it still tastes pretty good' but thats it. You've given up everything the meat stood for. Then you go back to the pan, and you sear those sausages and LET THE JUICES STAY! And the foreman stays in the corner of the kitchen, a grey flavour sucking machine.

[–]unmutablejones 0 points1 point ago

I just tilt mine up so it stays.

[–]auraslip 6 points7 points ago

Fat taste good and it's good for you too! My girlfriend and I were actually talking last night about how our george foreman grill is worthless since we discovered keto and got our bodies back.

Kinda funny how whole industries(and cooking utensils) will crumble when the low-fat paradigm shifts.

[–]SyFyWrestler 9 points10 points ago

Yep. It's very easy to lose weight by just eliminating sugar.

[–]le_cmpunk 1 point2 points ago

Keto FTW!

[–]CookieTop 1 point2 points ago

Can't find it now, but around /r/fitness or /r/paleo was a 'Foreman mod' image post, a person had simply propped up the lower end of the grill, allowing the juices to stay inside. Still, unless you are on grass fed beef or pork, you should still get rid of the unhealthy omega 6 fats that a foreman grill would remove. If not, you can always add the fat back on later.

[–]chedderslam 5 points6 points ago

you can train your taste buds to miss it less. just decrease it over a bit of time. A lot of people fail huge-change diets because of this. gradually reduce you fat(as well as sugar and salt) and you won't notice it missing after a bit.

Bonuses: health, weight loss, etc.

[–]dorekk 6 points7 points ago

Fat is good for you and necessary to survive.

[–]webby_mc_webberson 28 points29 points ago

[–]C-3PO 15 points16 points ago

It is now.

[–]TheBig_Fudge 1 point2 points ago

Hell yes. Make a nice pbj, not with a whole lot of peanut butter though, that shit gets real hot and leaks everywhere if you do. Slap it on the foreman, and gently close the lid. The trick is not to let too much of the peanut butter run out, but wait until the bread has just nicely toasted and it tastes amazing.

[–]Hackey_Sack 1 point2 points ago

i wholeheartedly agree. cheaper than a full gas grill. and yum charcoal cooked meat

[–]maxxspeed 18 points19 points ago

Smoked and temperature controlled. Tastes so good you know it causes cancer.

[–]mst3kzz 5 points6 points ago

GF grills squeeze the burgers causing a lot of delicious juices to run out. You may end up with something that is technically healthier, but it will be dry and flavorless. I'd choose Weber over GF every time.

[–]beer_madness 6 points7 points ago

Also, the story is the same. When I have that perfect fire, it seems wasteful to not cook every damn piece of meat I can find.

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points ago*

We were separated at birth. I mean, leftover meat is just so damn good to me the next day. Especially that corned beef I just polished off. So why waste $1.25 worth of charcoal when you can cook tomorrows lunch tonight?

George Foreman grills are pieces of shit. They squeeze all the "fat" from the meat, leaving you with a dry, tasteless pile of piss.

what's with this cheap advertising

[–]dwt4 1 point2 points ago*

True story (according to Hulk Hogan): Hulk Hogan and George Foreman had the same agent. They were supposed to have a meeting about products to endorse but Hogan missed it. So Foreman got the grill and Hogan got a crappy juicer/blender.

Edit: Hogan missed a phone call, not a meeting.

[–]4Chan-leak 1 point2 points ago

I remember when i had just gotten my first George Foreman grill. It was a magical time for me, and the moment I heard the doorbell ring that fateful April morning in 2002 I knew it was here. My hands were shaking wildly and I had hardly enough grip to open the box due to my sweaty hands. The box came open with a screeching of the cardboard against the side of the box as I lifted out my wonderful new food machine, delving me into a world deeper than I could ever have imagined.

I spent many a fateful day cooking with this amazing machine. It was chicken breasts with lemon and mushrooms one day, a beef back steak the next day. I would savor each bite and rejoice knowing that it was perfectly healthy, the fat being drained by the grill.

Well, I started to gain some weight. At first, it was the occasional 1 lb increase after a meal, so I shrugged it off. Soon, though, it accumulated, and I had put on 20 pounds in 3 weeks. I couldn't stop eating from the grill, and yet my blindness as to the cause of my weight was not cleared. I simply drowned the sorrow in delicious, savory meats.

3 months in, and I had gained a whopping 48 pounds. I went to see the doctor and he warned me of a possible cardiovascular risk in gaining so much weight in so little time, and all of if fat. I started to be more secluded in public. I wore larger clothes. I stopped going out with my friends. And worst of all, I kept eating from the grill.

One night, I decided I would have no more, and I racked my brains trying to find a cause for this occurrence. at this point, anything was to be considered, so I pondered the grill. Yes. That was it. I inched my way to the box of the grill, and, uneasy, knowing the ramifications of this task, I opened the manual for any health warnings. It was there.

Best genuine laugh I've had out of Reddit in months.

This reminds me of when my cat died, and the only box we had available to carry her to the vet in was a George Foreman Grill box. In such a heartbreaking situation, it made me giggle while I was lugging the box around.

If Noah had a Foreman, everyone would be vegetarian.

this is 100% my boyfriend... it's either fast food or his precious grill lol

i'd only use a george foreman on inexpensive meats (poultry, hot dogs/sausage, burgers, etc.)

anything else goes on the outdoor gas grill. using inferior cooking methods on stuff i spent $10+ seems wasteful.

I normally just use the grill to make perfect fucking grilled cheese. I recently learned that I can actually cook with it. I've been missing out on so much.
