My wife likes the house considerably cooler than I like it, so I get cold a LOT. I don't see Snuggie advertising deceptively, though. It's a blanket with sleeves. I would hope that most people aren't surprised when someone points out the fact that the Snuggie is a blanket with sleeves. On the other hand, if someone points out that your "1877" gold clad coin is essentially a subway token, I'm guessing that a few folks will feel that the company deceived them by suggesting that these were investment grade coings - which they certainly are NOT. :) I’m hoping to get a Snuggie soon.
