Did You Know?

Trivia

Very early in the show's run during the "Big Sweep" there would be a guy who would dress up as a product & try to block shoppers from grabbing items. It would normally be 1 of the producers dressed up as "Mr. Yuck" or a can of "Raid". David would say, "Be careful because lurking out there somewhere is Mr. Yuck and he will try to block you from getting to the products." This aspect of the show was dropped early in the show's run because it proved to be too much of a distraction for contestants trying to win the "Big Sweep" & go for the $5000. See more »
