my favorite has and always be those blue blocker sunglasses that if you break, scratch or LOSE them, just RETURN them either for a new pair or your money back.
It's asinine and brilliant at the same time. My favorite part of the commercial is when they show someone covered up trying to reach for a book or something and they're like, "Your hands are TRAPPED inside!!" All infomercials for essentially useless products assume that every consumer is a complete moron.
I've heard that there's a competing product now, known as the Slanket.
Hey! I bought a Turby Twist for my daughter - but not on TV, so maybe it was a knock off - and she used it a lot. A blanket with sleeves is a lot like a robe, only more bulky. I guess if a Pet Rock can make someone wealthy, then why not a blanket with sleeves? Oh boy!
J.D.: Actually my youngest daughter bought a Turbie Twist at a Dollar General store so I do have some experience with them in my house. The difference was she only paid $1.00 for the silly thing.
You do make a salient point... if there are people out there who will buy a product, who are we to prevent them from doing so? There is no law against stupid.
When we see the commercial, we think they all look like they're in a cult or something.
My next door neighbor bought one but said that the static electricity was annoying. One night his cat curled up next to him and it started getting shocks....so the cat clawed the hell out of him, which resulted in the cat getting kicked out of the house, which ultimately ended up with the robe being sent back to bed bath and beyond.

I couldn't agree more.

I had to read that twice.
The comments are as funny as the stupid product.
Cube, I share your sense of humor.

The commercial is full of idiotic moments, like when the snuggie wearing family is toasting marshmallows around a fire pit.
Or the snuggie wearing old man watching TV who looks like an angry Druid.
Or the little girl wearing a one-size fits all snuggie and the sleeves are a foot too long for her arms.

I saw a commercial for this product and just rolled my eyes. I'm glad you noticed as well what a terrible idea this is.
Plus, you can get "Snuggle Wraps" at the Christmas Tree Shop for $7.00 -- My girlfriend loves it!

Papa Frank: I can't speak for everyone else, but I couldn't see anyone in my family buying one of those silly things.
Like Kimberly said, apparently they've never heard of a sweatshirt... lol.
Wow, glad someone did this.
