Snuggie Review

Posted by admin On April - 28 - 2009

Snuggie Blanket with sleeves Despite saying I should find a job instead of just laying around the house, my wonderful girlfriend got me a Snuggie blanket with sleeves for my birthday! It’s really taken my slothfulness to the next level.

I’m sure you’ve seen the As Seen on TV Snuggie by now, I’ve even seen it on the news nearly every week. But, if you haven’t, you must see this thing. It’s exactly what it says, a blanket with sleeves. When I first saw it, I thought it was totally ridiculous — you just lay on your couch with your hands sticking through the blanket.

The Snuggie actually does make working or dozing on the couch much easier — snacking too. I wear it just about all the time while watching TV, it’s also great for playing video games.

When I first opened it, I thought it was the silliest gift ever, but I know exactly what I’m telling my friends I’d get them if I had a job!

The only downside was that the fleece tends to pick up a lot of pet hair where it drags on the ground (as pictured here). But this may be attributed to my inability to work the vacuum.

Buy It Or Not?

How could you not buy this?! Look at how silly it is! Of course buy it!

The blanket with sleeves’ powers that be made sure that you could always get a buy one Snuggie, get one free so give the other one away to a lazy friend and BAM, you’ve started your cult!

The Snuggie also comes with a cheap clip-on book light. But I have lights, so it’s found a nice spot in my junk drawer.

Windshield Wonder Review

Posted by admin On April - 7 - 2009

When I still had a job, I was insane about keeping my car clean, and I bought a really handy car cleaning tool, the Windshield Wonder — it’s like 10 times better than a rag on a stick.

If you’re like me, you can’t afford to drive much. But you love to have a shiny car sitting in the yard (or garage if you’re some kind of rich person). That’s why I had to get this handy little infomercial windshield cleaner. In the days before I got the Windshield Wonder — the dark ages — I either had to break out a wooden spoon and put a wash cloth on it just to clean my windshield. Try it sometime, it’s really annoying, the rag keeps falling off and you get a million streaks across your field of vision.

And if you don’t clean your windshield, you’re left with smudges from who knows what catching your eye when you’re supposed to be driving. Now I can’t say an As Seen on TV windshield cleaner saves lives, but staring those smudges could send you crashing right into a bus stop full of children — no good.

That — and because I used to have extra money — is why I bought the Windshield Wonder. And so far, I have not hit anyone.

Windshield Wonder It’s really easy to use, as you can see by my girlfriend’s arm in the picture. Just drag it across the inside of the windshield or rear window. It says you can use it with just tap water, but I usually spray a bit of all-purpose glass cleaner first. It’s also handy for cleaning rear view mirrors, which can be inset in a really strange way.

I keep it in the car at all times, just in case I sneeze on the window or someone puts their nasty feet on my dashboard and smudges the glass with their toes — you know who you are. It’s a breeze to just wipe it off.

Buy It Or Not?

Buy it. Even if you’re not crazy about keeping your car clean the Windshield Wonder is handy to keep your vision clear and safe. They’re doing some deal now that you can get two kits which include the windshield cleaning device, a microfiber towel and a spray bottle for water (or glass cleaner).
Go buy Windshield Wonder and get one free. Maybe give it to one of your unemployed friends, you could probably even get them to clean your car for it — I would.
