Its just marketing. Foreman made his money tangentially not because he
invented something. The grill was around and not selling so they hired
Foreman and gave him a cut of it to pimp the machines. Lots of other
items are sold in a similar fashion where the named personality who is
credited with something may not even know how to operate or use what
they are pimping.
