Stop dissing the Sham Wow....

[mcctatas]

and while yer at it, leave the Snuggie alone too:

The ShamWow: “Holds 21 times its weight in liquid!” I haven’t tested that (or the product itself, for that matter), but the ShamWow could also nearly eliminate paper towel use if it works as well as the marketing claims. The greenest option for eliminating paper towels may be the rag bag, but, c’mon, this is pretty cool (but, yes, that spokesman guy is scary as hell!). Questions still to be answered in assessing “greeness”: material (a “rayon type of material” according to the website), manufacturing processes, end of life. The reviews are definitely mixed

The Snuggie: Who needs a sweater when you’ve got a blanket with sleeves? Better yet, who needs to turn up the heat…? Questions still to answered in assessing “greeness”: materials (”uper soft, thick, luxurious fleece” doesn’t tell us much), manufacturing process, place of origin, and end of life. JennyReviews took a test drive.

1. I just saw a commercial for the Snuggie...the family they showed wearing

them looked like a Satanic cult!!

[InternalDialogue]

22. Yeah, they're either the Heaven's Gate people

or Exidor from Mork and Mindy.

[Texasgal]

2. I wanna know who spends

TWENTY dollars a month on paper towels!

[sniffa]

8. "Rosie, take 23!"

[hobbit709]

19. That one always got me too.

I doubt I spend $20 a year on paper towels

[crimsonblue]

3. i like Sham Wow.

Plus, the guy's got a new gadget, Slap Chop! I so want one.......

[mcctatas]

5. If I gave in to every TV gadget temptation that I have...

I would be homeless but fully stocked with junk :P

[crispini]

4. Eliminate paper towel use? Uh, not for what *I* use paper towels on.

Cat vomit, mostly.

[DS1]

6. .

7. I KNEW he looked familiar.....

[Fire Walk With Me]

23. Um, who would buy -anything- from this guy??

[Fleshdancer]

9. Shamwow is a ShamDUD

People are all up in the intertubes complaining about it: http://www.measuredup.com/company/Shamwow-3117

As for the snuggie...when have you EVER had so many problems with just a regular blanket? The red snuggies make people look like monks. Too weird.

I want to create some sort of unnecessary and useless widget for people to use when having sex. Not because we need it, but because I want the infomercial to show a grainy, black and white video of two people attempting sex but quitting in frustration. One person will hit the pillow while the other person throws his or her hands up in the air while looking into the camera because that's the infomercial signal for "I'm a clueless idiot who can't figure this stuff out". I'll make millions!

:rofl:

[bicentennial_baby]

10. Fleshdance for President!!

:patriot:

:rofl:

[Fleshdancer]

11. Econ for VP!!!

:rofl:

Happy New Year Love! If you want to make millions, I'll let you in on this ShamSex widget. I'm not married to the name though so I'm open to ideas. :D

[bicentennial_baby]

13. Hmmm...ShamSex *might* be a turn-off

:rofl:

But otherwise, i'm IN! :woohoo:

Happy New Year, my sweet! :hi:

[Fleshdancer]

14. this is why you're the brains behind the operation...

sexWOW makes more sense. :rofl:

With a name that powerful, we might be looking at BILLIONS! Just think of all the private parking spaces and quarters Sniffa would have! :bounce:

[bicentennial_baby]

15. We're the BEST team!

and it's sexWOW™, now. :D

:woohoo:

:rofl:

[AwakeAtLast]

12. I've said before, I'll say it again

The Snuggie worn backwards is a ROBE! :D

[grannylib]

16. The ShamWow looks like a great product, and I'd love to give it a test run

The Snuggie? It's a ROBE. An oversized bathrobe worn backwards, and it's a trip hazard, since it's long enough to cover your feet but they show people walking around in the thing.
And I'd like to see the guy who shows up at a tailgate party wearing one. Sheesh.
IT'S A BATHROBE worn bass-ackwards.

[Fleshdancer]

17. doesn't that make it a hospital gown by default?

:shrug:

[grannylib]

18. Oh, if only hospital gowns had THAT much substance! And long

sleeves!
If the Snuggie were made of tissue paper, then it might resemble a hospital gown a little more...
:rofl: Horrid things, hospital gowns, aren't they?? :hi:

[hobbit709]

20. The part that gets me with the Snuggies

when it shows the "happy family" sitting around the fire. If you're facing the fire, doesn't that leave your backside open to the cold while you don't need the blankie between you and the fire.

21. I love how on all those commercials they show people doing stuff in the most inept way.

Like chopping a tomato, the knife is literally being turned side ways and they are not slicing they are pressing the knife down. So they are mashing instead of cutting. The lady on the snuggie commercial fumbling to get her hands out of the blanket. C'mon I can in one move with one arm move a blanket.

The other one is that new door draft blocker. Everytime that one comes on I yell "Fix the your damn weather stripping." And I would not put it under a window. Might not let the window close right and make it easier for someone to break in. The lady having trouble bending over to pick up the draft snake, Uh use your fucking foot, idiot.
