i ask you: Why not a slanket made of sham-wow material!?!?!?!!! Only a bad thing if you sweat a lot or spill on yourself...but when you need a huge towel in a jiff, you're covered!!!
I am in the infancy stages of creating such a product. Great for tailgating with those annoyingly long bathroom lines.
How does one wash the Sham-wow. I know it's machine washable, but wouldn't it suck all the liquid up while being washed thus defeating the purpose?

Bill Walker for KSU could have used a shamwow in nonconference last year.....
Towel Peeing: When Ya Gotta Go ...


btw - if someone were to make a "shamwow snuggie" commercial with a jingle and everything, act like the shamwow guy, and then post it to youtube....they'd be more famous than the Numa Numa guy..... just sayin....

*talking at a high rate of speed*
"You ever have those times where you're swimming on a cold day and you get out of the pool and are freezing? The answer is the shamwow snuggie. You get out of the pool, throw on the 'shamwuggie" and wham. Instantly dry AND warm"
(it is important that during this part of the commercial, a girl gets out of the pool dripping wet. Cut to the announcer guy, and then back to the same girl who then puts on the shamwuggie...only now she's only slightly damp and her hair is practically dry, and the puddle of water under her feet has magically disappeared)

And you know how they always throw in the extras? for instance in shamwow you get extra little ones, and then at the very end of the commercial they double the amount you're getting. You get two for free! I'm pretty sure for the shamwuggie commercial that a 'miniature shamwuggie" should be included...perfect for your child or a large dog. (insert video of dripping Fido just after playing in a lawn sprinkler, being wrapped in a miniature shamwuggie, and then immediately catching a frisbee thrown by the owner....with the shamwuggie flapping in the breeze like Underdog...)

sorry if my imagination has gotten the best of me this morning.... :biggrin:

My house is cold...blankets just end up sliding off my shoulders and arms and are a real problem when needing to use the remote. The choice is clear for me. Slankets. Get some.

But, from that picture it looks like my hands are still going to be frigid while I'm using my PSP or remote, what made for TV product will address this issue?

Vince was good in the shamwow commercial, but he absolutely killed it in the slap chop commercial.

But the sham-wow absorbs over 20 times it's own weight. You could be crushed to death by your shaw-wow if you got wet.

DANGIT! Foiled again. Hmmmm.....our tech department is currently trying to resolve this issue. Thank you for bringing it to our attention.
After consulting our research and marketing deparments, we have decided that it is in our best interest to alter the target market for our 'shamwuggie.'

With this new demographic, we think that not only will we be able to sell more shamwuggies, but we will also be able to be more patriotic as a company. The new demographic will be the US Military. The shamwuggie will replace biological warfare as a safer and more humane way of conducting the united state's international evil-fighting business.

Shamwuggies (more appropriate nomenclature is currently being brainstormed) could possibly be shipped to the militaries of enemy countries and/or redflagged groups. Perhaps even as part of Red Cross care pakages (our repeated calls to the Red Cross have yet to be answered - but you get the picture.) Once delivered, the recipients of said shamwuggies will be so delighted and enamoured with their new 'clothing' that they will wear them at nearly all times of the day. Once a significant portion of the enemy is wearing their shamwuggie, our military can then fire sand into the atmosphere, thus creating particulates around which precipitation can form. The resulting monsoon will then drench the enemy fighters, and the weight of the water absorbed into their clothing will crush and kill them.

Along with this we have considered the fact that many innocent Jawas on Tatooine may possibly come upon said shamwuggies and replace their current brown robes with this much more colorful version. However, it has been deemed so unlikely to rain on Tatooine that unwarranted Jawa deaths do not appear to be likely.

I am a big Vince guy. So I would have to go with the ShamWow. It makes you say WOW for f's sake. My wife who happens to be the coldest person on the planet all the time even hates the Slanket. Maybe if Vince was Hawking it I would be down with it.

Hassel, I dont know about which one is better, but I think you should have Keith and Andy do a show of Soundoff wearing the Slanket.
