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.

Ultimate Battle: The Snuggie vs. Slanket vs. Freedom Blanket vs. Blankoat

The review compares many different typres, and rates them in terms of cost, comfort and quality.

I particularly impressed with the many inventive names for the snuggly products!

I use Gmail, and their spam filtering is pretty good, but still I have hundreds every day, and I have to check through them for false positives, just in case I an email I want gets through.

I’m amused at the stuff that gets spammed, and lately I’ve been getting a lot of emails for blankets with sleeves!  They seem to come in a variety of names, Snuggie, Snuglette, Slanket, and no doubt Blankey and Bleeves.

And just imagine, you can get all wrapped up and still have the use of your arms!

I think one of the determinants for what spammers promote is the ease of creating the product.  So if it’s easily produceable (blankets, pills, porn) then maybe it’s easily promotable by spam.

You can of course buy Slankets on eBay.
