We've been on TV more than most blankets.
A college kid's dorm-room fix turned into morning shows, late-night jokes, a business-school case study and more than 1.7 million sold worldwide.
The highlights
The Today Show
The Today Show filmed our booth at the Chicago housewares show and aired it nationwide. The next morning, buyers wouldn't stop calling.
17,000 in 11 minutes
Our QVC appearance sold 17,000 Slankets in 11 minutes, as reported by the Bangor Daily News in 2009.
A Harvard Business School case study
Yes, a blanket with sleeves is now required reading for some MBA students. We find this very funny and also very flattering.
Million Dollar Genius
A&E filmed our story for Million Dollar Genius. Watch the clip on Our Story.
Late night and prime time
Letterman. 30 Rock. More late-night jokes than we could keep track of. The blanket with sleeves became a punchline, and we were in on it.
