Thanks to G. for pointing out this amusing article at 160over90 - The 50 Dollar Logo Experiment.

Dutch Bike Feature

Blankets with Sleeves: Gizmodo Review

Two days after I posted about the Spam Email I get about Blankets with Sleeves, Gizmodo posted an article reviewing many different types of them!
I’m clearly not the only one on the internet amazed by the phenomenon of having a blanket which isn’t just flat and square.
