MyPillow and other gimmicky stuff

[notherhalo]

I was at Frys, saw a pillow for $50 and said - why not. Buying pillows at an electronics store + paying $50 for a pillow.... sounds good so far

its basically the same as every other non-memory foam pillow, whatever 

Also "HD vision" glasses for sale at 711 (this time only $20).  Like most ladies in my life, they were lucky I was drunk at the time.  It is more like "yellow vision and nothing more".

Is there some other stuff out there like this?  I'll buy anything

lost my interest in 'my pillow' when i saw that you can throw it in the laundry and it's supposed to come out good as new.

My wife has a My Pillow and swears by it.  She says I need to get one.

Who needs pillows....

ahem, how 'bout those bears?

My Pillow gets really bad reviews on the net.

Anything you see on infomercials is the cheapest and most overpriced products on the market. For the past decade, selling on TV is the worst way to sell direct because of its expense and ROI low returns. Companies who sell via TV, need to mark-up margins and cut quality. 

See on TV = don't buy.

I bought my pillow and it's horrible.

That jingle makes me want to assassinate a preschool.

Haha, after lots of neck soreness/ weird headaches, i tried a few different pillows.  Even the buckwheat ones.  Costco had a mypillow event a while back, so i grabbed the 2 pack.  I actually like it, maybe a huge coincidence, but neck has been good.

QVC was hawking MyPillow this morning, even had on the guy who runs the company.

Best pillow I have ever used is bamboo. Seems to hold its shape and firmness better than anything else.

I picked up new pillows yesterday - had never heard of mypillow but saw it as I was walking out and remembered you mentioning it here.

The display one was pretty jacked up. So hard to gauge the quality but it looked pretty terrible.

For the record - my go to is wamsutta dream zone down pillow. I pick up a pair about once a year, they are awesome.

I bought this attached key ring thing for the back of my cell phone, it's probably the best purchase I made all year.  It makes holding a cell phone much easier, keeps me from dropping it and it serves as a stand if needed

I'm gonnoa buy a ton of them as promotional products and hand them out to customers

I looked those up on Amazon and they cost $116 each? I'll stick with my $10 pillows from Target.

Invest in good bedding. You'll sleep better and chicks will be drawn to it.

30 cents a day is a worthwhile price to pay for something where you spend literally a third of your life.

never scrimp on certain things in life: bedding, computer monitors, shoes, skin care products, watches, suits, booze, coffee...... umm.. booze.

I'll keep this in mind. just picked up four new ones and new bedding in this price range.....probably should have looked around a bit more, but was anxious to get new everything.

Back in the days when I used rabbit ears to get television, I bought a gadget that claimed to use the wiring in your home as a giant antenna to give you great reception. The picture was better with nothing. Fortunately, I was able to get a refund.

That whole one third of your life thing is why I spent so much on my recliner

I guess you could pile condoms in with that 'third of your life' comment

Bought a few of those recently. Like them a lot, super firm.

They had some $200 or so pillows when inwas buying my new mattress. 200 for a pillow is insane...but they were insane, too. Ill probably end up buuing one someday.

Or with the first comment of wasting money

[Brandon]

Saw this on TV last night. Looks pretty useful. Has good reviews on Amazon.

Bought this stuff on Amazon since it was only $8. Works really well
