leroyjenkens said:What I like about the commercials is they show someone having a difficult time doing some simple activity without the product. For example, they'll have a woman in a kitchen trying to cut some tomatoes and having a really hard time doing it; cutting her fingers and smashing the tomato instead of cutting it (because the knife isn't sharp enough). Tomato juice is everywhere and she has a distraught look on her dirty face.
Then they show her cutting the tomato with the Handy Dandy Tomato Cutter. Suddenly she's smiling, the kitchen is spotless and her husband comes in and gives her a kiss. Who wouldn't want that?
FrancisZ said:Not for anything, but: that Snazzy Sleeper looks a lot like a burqa. Is it possible then, that this is a middle eastern influence (kind of like how hookahs have come back into style, since we invaded Iraq)? Really, I suspect the manufacturer is trying to ride the coattails of the Snuggie.
The hug thing is kind of cute, but it takes up a lot of space. Eventually, it might just turn into another albatross, at my house.

'chindogu' is the japanese word coined for the art
of the unuseless idea.
strangely practical and utterly eccentric inventions
for a life of ease and hilarity have taken the land
of the rising sun by storm.
meant to solve the niggling problems of modern life,
these bizarre and logic-defying gadgets and gizmos
have a tendency to fail completely.
addicts of the unuseless all over the world love this
collection. the art of chindogu was born in the late
1980's when amateur inventor kenji kawakami
discovered that a not-quite-usable idea for a new
gadget or product could nonetheless be enjoyable if
one were to create a prototype and take delight in the
way it misses its mark.

Measuring intelligence is a complex and controversial topic. There is no one definitive answer to this question. Some may argue that intelligence can be measured through standardized tests, while others believe it is a combination of various factors such as education, experience, and critical thinking skills.
One common misconception is that US consumers are easily swayed by marketing tactics and do not make informed decisions. While there may be some truth to this, it is important to remember that consumers are constantly bombarded with advertisements and it takes critical thinking skills to filter through them and make a smart purchasing decision.
There is no evidence to suggest that US consumers are becoming less intelligent over time. In fact, with advancements in technology and access to information, consumers have more resources than ever to educate themselves and make informed decisions.
Cultural and societal factors can certainly influence the behavior and decision-making of US consumers. For example, cultural norms and values may shape what is considered "intelligent" in a particular society. Additionally, access to education and resources can also impact the intelligence of a population.
No, it is not accurate to generalize the intelligence of an entire population. Each individual has their own unique intelligence and factors that contribute to it. It is important to avoid stereotypes and acknowledge the diversity and complexity of US consumers.
