Never heard of it. I've heard of a memory toy from my youth (1970s) by a
similar name, the commercial was done by Vincent Price.

- It is "guaranteed to make every member of an audience feel superior to
it."

So says the quote on the website you mentioned. So I'm still not sure if
this was a serious venture or just a toy.
