Jan, thanks for the Slanket link.

I've been craving a Snuggie, but I don't like the colors. The Slanket comes in black! Yay!

I also want one of those microwave pasta maker thingies.

hilarious, but cosy!

No problem. I'd be hesitant with a Snuggie purchase, because most of those TV ad products just aren't great quality or don't work.

I love my Slanket. There's so much extra fabric at the bottom for me, I can tuck my feet under and stay super warm.

I haven't seen the commercial but I was watching Jay Leno's show and he was doing a segment on his show about different products and he had a Snuggie. He asked Kevin did he have one. It looks like a blanket with arms.

I must get one for DH then

It always cracks me up when I see the people in the Snuggie commercial sitting by a bonfire... the type of fleece the snuggie is made out of is highly flammable. They're just one spark away from being super warm!

Alright everyone...I did the ultimate ShamWow test. I put one of my socks (it's a thinner sock) under running water for a little bit until it was soaking, rung it out, then rolled it up in a ShamWow. I squeezed it so it would get every bit of water, unrolled it and...

MY SOCK WAS STILL WET!!! The ShamWow definitely did absorb more water than a normal towel would, but you definitely can't roll up a sweater in it and then unroll it and it'll be dry. So it works well, but not as well as the ShamWow guy says.

ETA: I used the Shamwow dry. BF says I have to use it damp...we'll see next time.

I would say definitely try it wettened a bit - I own a super chamois (not a ShamWow) that works awesome, but it definitely works better damp (go figure?!)

Lol go figure is right!! I was thinking...ok why would it absorb water better if it's already wet?? Mysteries of life I suppose...

I think I'll put that blanket up on the shelf with my electric fork.

LOL! That's what I've been saying all along! Just take a robe, put it backwards, and TAH-freaking-DAH! Snuggie!

domlee · Jan 21st, 2009, 12:51 PM

I swear it is super ugly.

Put on a witch's hat...and voila...you look like Harry Potter.

dell · Jan 21st, 2009, 07:03 PM

I feel like an idiot, but I want one too! They look so COZY! But I want one made out of the material that the Brookstone nap blankets are made of!
