ShamWow is an absorbent towel famously marketed by Vince Offer.
History[]
Not much is known about ShamWow before Vince started marketing it, but one day, Vince found the towel at a flea market, and nicknamed it the “ShamWow!”, after the French pronunciation of chamois.
In the summer of 2007, the ShamWow commercial was filmed at a budget of $20,000. It became famous overnight.
