    Now… Canadian Tire can’t even get rid of them at 75% off!! The people who bought them, bought them. I have one. Most people (friends/family) don’t like it and don’t like sleeping with it. I was surprised. Because, I love it. But they are a tough sell for most. I can’t see ANY continued growth. Too bad.

    A couple years ago, I bought a 15 pound weight blanket a couple years ago, it was a different brand (that had high ratings on Amzn). I like sleeping with a lot of blankets stacked up, so I thought I would really like a weighted blanket. I didn't like it at all. I tried it a few times, now it just sits in my closet.

    Personally love weighted blankets. Have been using them for years and I find it quite hard to sleep without. Only issue I think is that they’re sort of marketed as magical fix-it’s for insomnia. For me personally as a neurodivergent (adhd), it really does help me.

    after almost 20 years living at the other side of this planet called earth i still athis day and age came across f*** snuggies printed in doritos logo brand on walmart. american stupidity (newreligion of consumerism and gratification through bought out happiness aka goods and services) never surprizes me. as old as human history, rebranding and tradesmarking f** blankets can only happen "murica" and no where else! eagerly waiting for the empire to fall and letgo of the whole rest of the world to find it's own natural course and peace. amen.

    It's still funny to me how dragons and sharks don't care about products or ideas..they only care about sales. Regardless of the product, if it had sales, they want in. I understand that they are there to make money, but ideas and products, that might not have sales yet, also become big.

    If the product or idea was great, it'd have sales. If they just started working, they should be patient and see the investors when they've gained some traction

    It makes all the sense in the world to me, it could seem like a great idea but if there's no sales it may not be that great. Now in some cases, the entrepreneur just needs help getting their foot in the door with distributors and etc. But it could also be a reflection of the work the entrepreneur has put in. They're putting in tons of their own money they want to make sure they'll work to protect their money.

    So he starts by cutting the car off in the fast lane then wont get back over to let him go, instead decides to brakecheck him. Then carries on like that i'd definately see him as the agressor. Multiple lanes could of got out of the way. I don't know whether i'd say jail solves anything but you definately wants his gun privledges removed way to loose. And atleast lose his license for a good while.
