In case you hadn’t noticed, a lot of what gets posted on Consumerist isn’t always the cheeriest of news. But in the spirit of the Thanksgiving holiday, we admit that not everything is a malicious scam filled with melamine, cadmium and lead and secretly owned by Halliburton.
For example, I can’t remember how I used to handle hot pans without my Ove Glove. Being genetically predisposed to klutziness, I used to spend hours each year rinsing my seared flesh under cold water. But no longer.
There’s also the Red Zone Channel on DirecTV, which provides me with all the important parts of my Sunday afternoon football without any of the commercials.
The only other person left here at Consumerist HQ on the Thanksgiving Eve is Meg, who tells me she is thankful for Wendy’s Spicy Chicken sandwiches and Crest Toothpaste.
So while we don’t expect any of you to actually give thanks to your DVRs or iPhones at the dinner table tomorrow, we still want to know which products (or services, companies, foods, etc.) are you most thankful for?

Without a doubt I am most grateful for my microwave oven. That is closely followed by Starbucks. I will always be thankful to them for introducing us to premium coffee.

you can get a spicy chicken on the chicken club, ask for ranch… its amazing
I’m most thankful for the device which encompasses all the things I’ve been thankful for over the past couple of decades (voicemail, caller, ID and the internet), which is my cell phone. I’m also equally thankful that I got this phone for free because of a contract renewal and I only have to pay $10 a month for an unlimited data plan because it’s not a smartphone. Yay!
I’m also thankful for my little regional cable and internet company, WOW (Wide Open West). Almost a decade in, I’ve had nothing but great service and NO Comcast-esque horror stories.
Finally, I’m deeply thankful for the Swiffer wet cloths. Thanks, Swiffer, for preventing my lazy ass from having to haul out the mop and bucket to clean my tiny kitchen floor.
Chick-Fil-A, Canada Dry diet ginger ale, my ipod nano, laptop, and internet.
