Why he might be annoying:

    We could not find one damn picture of him anywhere.
    His product failed miserably when marketed in stores.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He developed the air-tight seal.
    He came up with idea of selling his product through 'Tupperware Parties' because the product needs demonstrations in order to sell.
    Despite its high brand recognition, they continue to not sell the products in retail stores in loyalty to the direct marketers.
