pitchman billy mays had been promoting a similar product called zorbeez two years prior to offer's "shamwow!" product. mays noted that the "shamwow!" commercials use many of the same product demonstrations as the earlier-produced zorbeez commercial. in february 2009 while on the adam carolla radio show, billy mays publicly challenged offer to a "pitch off" between their respective absorbent towel products. "popular mechanics" tested the absorbency of the two towel products and declared "shamwow!" was the more effective of the two, but noted "if you have reusable cloth rags (and a roll of paper towels for backup), then neither product is necessary." during the episode, it was suggested that the "popular mechanics" tester did not use the zorbeez correctly.
