19 Weirdest Products For Keeping Warm (PHOTOS)

In this age of Skymall, it's difficult to conceive that at one point in human history, our ancestors were able to survive the winter without microwaveable socks and electric blankets -- but it's true. Tens of thousands of years ago, during the Neolithic period, the life expectancy for an average guy or girl was around 20 years, and it’s pretty easy to see why. Sure, it makes perfect sense to attribute rising life expectancies to advances in science and technology, but it seems no coincidence that during the same time, mankind was laying down the framework for what would eventually become Hooded Scarves and Glovers For Lovers.

Okay, so maybe that's stretching it a little. But if you don’t believe us, check out this batch of winter products without which mankind would certainly perish.

I find this list to be audacious. The electric blanket is by far the best product ever made. I use it every night and fall right into a deep deep sleep. Y'all are nuts

"Microwave Slipprs", Yuck! Don't microwave them after you've worn them!

When my mom had a heart attach several years ago she was in the hospital for 15 days and they kept giving her warmed blankets, which she loved because the hospital was so cold. When we took her home they told us to heat towels in the microwave to keep her legs warm, which actually worked while she was bed ridden. So I wasn't surprised to see the microwaveable slippers. I came across a heated throw while I was out one day and bought that for her and she loves it for sitting or laying on the couch to keep her legs and feet warm. Some of these products can be useful/good, but most are ridiculous, better in thought than realty.

Ok, so what if I wear my bathrobe backwards? Is it then considered a snuggie?

so wait....a snuggie and a bathrobe are two different things?

"Should women be offended or happy that they don't also sell Men's Footed Pajamas?"

Neither, since obviously they do sell them.

Gee thanks, I wouldn't have detected the sarcasm without that disclaimer. I thought this was an anthropology article.

At first I thought these pics were just plain ridiculous. Then I got toward the last few and said, oh this is just a bunch of gag stuff. Then I read a couple comments and thought, "Do people really pay money for this? Or consider doing so? If this stuff is for real; how do you change your kids diaper without making a mess? Gross. (That's when I really thought it was just gag stuff.) p.s. Hope there's not a fire or ya have to use the bathroom in a hurry when you're all wrapped up in some of that stuff!

I fail to see the point of the smoking mittens. First of all, you'd have to take off the mittens to grab a cigarette and a lighter, and then light the darn thing. By that time, you've already committed to smoking and your hands being cold, so why add the extra burden of putting one mitten on, shoving a cig into it, lighting the cigarette, and then putting the other mitten back on without lighting yourself on fire?

Pft, those texting mitts are so 2010. You can now buy texting gloves that have integrated pads in the fingers to interact with your touch screen without ever taking them off.
