Doesn’t this guy look like a smug old bastard. He’s like, “I have swam pulling 70+ boats across a large harbor, I’m one hardcore son of a bitch”
I think Jack LaLanne is advocating heavy drinking when he says, “get juiced”. Heavy drinking of juice from the Power Juicer. Its fun how the Power Juicer website stresses that “Rush Deliver Is Available”. For those who just cannot wait to start juicing. Just start juicing today!
“Are you fat, are you overweight?” “Well then this product is for you. It can magically transform you into the ideal person you wish to be, and listen to how quiet it is” “No other juicer is as quiet and extracts so much juice” “Wow Jack, thats a lot of juice”
This has to be one of my favorite informercials of all time. I love this Jack Lalanne character. This guy is apparently an old-tyme hardass. You have to check out the Jack LaLanne wikipedia page to see what this guy has done and the age he performed the feat. Here are a few of my favorites, all of them accomplished while in his 60’s!
# 1974 (age 60): For the second time, Jack swam from Alcatraz Island to Fisherman’s Wharf. Again, he was handcuffed, but this time he was also shackled and towed a 1,000-pound boat.
# 1975 (age 61): Repeating his performance 21 years earlier, Jack again swam the entire length of the Golden Gate Bridge, underwater and handcuffed, but this time he was shackled and towed a 1,000-pound boat.
# 1976 (age 62): To commemorate the “Spirit of ‘76″, United States Bicentennial, Jack swam one mile in Long Beach Harbor. He was handcuffed and shackled, and he towed 13 boats (representing the 13 original colonies) containing 76 people.
# 1979 (age 65): Jack towed 65 boats in Lake Ashinoko, near Tokyo, Japan. He was handcuffed and shackled, and the boats were filled with 6,500 pounds of Lousiana Pacific wood pulp.

As to your comment about Jack looking like a smug old bastard, I will have to disagree. I think he looks like a tired old man who has relegated himself to being pictured on a back for a consumer kitchen product.
I wonder what Jack Juice(tm) tastes like? How about a Jack LaLanne smoothy to wake you in the morning. “damn, thats jackalicious”

What about Jack Palance vs. Jack LaLanne?
