Zorbeez product is a chamois cloth which is claimed by manufacturer Vertical Branding to be capable of absorbing over 20 fluid oz (600 mL) of liquid. It was claimed that the initial sales of the product were pleasing by the CEO of Vertical Branding Nancy Duitch.[1] KCBD said when it was compared with a paper towel and a cloth towel, it prevailed against the two other products, though they commented at its tendency to fray.[2] A test by WTAE-TV channel resulted in a 2 out 4 rating, with them commenting that "it does not clean well".[3]
The product was popularized by American pitchman Billy Mays, who advertised the product in 2009.[4]
In 2022, the Youtuber DougDoug brought attention back to the product when he inserted the Billy Mays advert into one of his Youtube videos.[5]
