Avoid These Money-Wasters To Keep Your Pocketbooks Plumper

Just admit it. You waste money every day without realizing it. We all do, from shelling out $4+ for a non-fat extra foam mochafrappacaramelccino or ducking into the corner store to use the ATM. Identifying money-wasting behavior is the first step to correcting it, so pay attention! More »

Do you long for the warmth and comfort of a Snuggie, but would rather look like an overgrown infant than a demented cultist? Perhaps the Forever Lazy is what you've been looking for. It's a fleece onesie that comes in toddler through adult sizes. While it doesn't come with attached feet, it does have zippered flaps so you can go to the bathroom without getting cold. More »

Ah, there's nothing like a fresh clothing fad to make everyone get all excited and start dubbing products "the new Snuggie." As if we need anymore Snuggies! New to the novelty apparel scene are Jumpin Jammerz, which are, well, footie pajamas. More »
Holy Crap, The Electric Heated Snuggie Really Exists
By Laura Northrup on January 6, 2011 8:00 AM

I've never found the Snuggie all that appealing. "Call me when they make an electric, heated version," I've always said. Yesterday, our man on the ground at the Consumer Electronics Show called. The Coz-E, an electric blanket with sleeves, debuted this past fall, and somehow nobody gave me one for Christmas. Or even told me. More »
Which Infomercial Items Would You Like To See Us Investigate?

We all know that it's best to take the claims of any infomercial — or really, any commercial at all — with a grain of salt so large it would turn Lake Michigan brackish. And yet, there appears to be no end to the stream of products being hawked late at night by loud (and often Australian) pitchmen. More »
Fear The "Snazzy Napper"

Move over Snuggie, and meet the Snazzy Napper, a pocketed bib that attaches to an eye-mask. Or, get the extra large version and you have a blanket too. Snazzy Napper's patented technology prevents you from seeing the other people around you staring at you in disbelief. More »
The Snuggie Macarena Dance Haunts My Dreams

Just because you can write a song about Snuggies and set it to the tune of "Macarena," that doesn't mean that you should. Yet the evil geniuses behind the Snuggie have done so, and inflicted it on the Internet. And the airwaves. More »

The Snuggie D-Lux solve a big problem for male Snuggie fans: if the fleece robe has completely covered your front, what happens when you need to access your man parts? Removing the robe could leave you feeling cold, isolated, and remind you that we're in a recession. But now there's the Snuggie D-Lux, the robe with three sleeves! NSFW, the D in D-Lux stands for something naughty. More »
Colbert Report Takes On Consumer Reports
By Marc Perton on June 4, 2010 10:55 AM

Stephen Colbert paid a visit to our scientific siblings over at Consumer Reports, and got some shocking admissions from testing head Liam "Larry" McCormack, including the fact that the organization has never tested whether being electrocuted by a toaster makes you immune to electricity. (Alas, he did not ask about CR's groundbreaking tests of the KFC Double Down or Snuggie, but there's always Part II.) More »
VIDEO: You're Doing It Wrong, A Tribute To As Seen On TV Ads
By Ben Popken on April 22, 2010 12:00 PM

Whatever you've been doing, you've been doing it wrong. That's what infomercials teach us, by showing us failing at simple tasks, and then offering the amazing new product to solve it. Showing it in black and white or monochromatic with a big red X seems to drive the point home for some reason. Never mind that these products are usually substandard and make most of their money on over-inflated shipping charges... you need this now! To this end, here's a tribute to your failure, a remix, set to "Help!" by The Beatles, of 50 different "before" scenes of consumers grinding, chopping, squirting, chopping and wearing their pants intellectively. Can you name all the infomercial products shown? Give it a shot, then scroll down after the jump for the answers. More »

There is the Snuggie that you wear while watching American Idol and eating Cheetos. That's the regular, plebeian fleece Snuggie. Then there is the Snuggie that you wear while reading continental philosophy and eating havarti with dill on organic rice crisps. That is the "happiness in bed" sleeved blanket. Or, as Buzzfeed calls it, the Snob Snuggie. [Sleeved Blanket] (via Buzzfeed)
PajamaJeans Help You Pretend You're Wearing Jeans

Sometimes you need to leave the house, for instance to go to the supermarket or to attend a job interview, and let's face it: that's when the Snuggie fails you. Until they make the formal Snuggie, there's at least PajamaJeans. They're like sweatpants, but disguised as jeans. Sadly they're only for the ladies right now, so guys will have to stick to sweatpants when they give up on life. More »

Why Hummel Figurines Are Pretty Much Worthless Now
By Laura Northrup on January 27, 2010 11:05 AM

Collectibles are a strange thing. People buy them for aesthetic or sentimental reasons, or as an investment. The latter reason is kind of stupid, since if everyone holds on to and cherishes a mass-produced item, it never becomes rare enough for supply to go down and demand to go up. (See: Beanie Babies.) It took much, much longer for the market to crash, but that's what's happening now as Hummel figurines no longer suit modern tastes and their aficionados in the Greatest Generation die off. More »

Consumer Reports didn't love Vince's nuts, and their tests found that the Snuggie sheds like a pack of crazed Labrador retrievers. But in their article about informercial products this month, they did find one that their mad science shows actually works, provides good value, and is useful: the Magic Jack. More »

Sometimes I say to myself, "I like to wear a bathrobe and sweatpants around the house, but putting on two different articles of clothing is too much work." Peering into the minds of people like me who are cold, lazy, and have given up entirely on the outside world, JC Penney has introduced the Snuggle Suit. More »
Consumerist's Top 10 Ads Of 2009
By Ben Popken on December 30, 2009 4:42 PM

Advertising is all about optimism, aspiring to a better tomorrow that's just a barcode scan away. So just because the economy is in the tank doesn't mean we stop selling dreams, it just means we have to pimp a littler harder, together. For America. Common among this year's best ads, in my view, is that they acknowledged the retardedness of their medium, and then got really real, or completely ridiculous. Here's the top 10!

What were the top ads on TV this year for you? For me, it's got to be GEICO's googly-eyes-on-a-pile-of-money bits. At first I didn't like them but after the 20th viewing or so, I got it. More »
