I’ve been watching a lot of commercials lately about a product that is being marketed heavily as a blanket with sleeves. This commercial really gets my goat! The commercial shows a family sitting on bleachers at some kind of sports event, showing them wearing these things. Well, what gets my goat is that it is obvious that it only warms the front of them, if they are sitting on bleachers, what is keeping their backs warm, and why don’t they just wear coats, hats, and gloves like normal people? If and when I would go to a game if I used a blanket to help keep warm, I would wrap it around my back and criss-cross it around the front of me (and my date) to help keep us both warm. Makes a lot more sense, to wrap the back and front, don’t you think?  I hope no one buys one of these for me as a gift, I don’t see that it has any more practicality than a bathrobe and is less versatile than a blanket.
