Another company that thought they could lie to us was Bassetts confectionery! About 8 years ago they took over the old Maynards confectionery company and brought out a new line called 'Maynards Original Wine Gums', but they were nothing like the original, they'd jazzed them up and given them a softer texture! So I told Bassetts "Hey, I used to like the real original Maynards Wine Gums as a kid, and yours are nothing like them, so by calling them 'Original' you're conning us!" They sent back a polite reply and later removed the word "Original' from the wrapper and it now looks like this below. Maybe other people besides me also complained, so it must have worked..
If no one ever asked " What IS this Fungus " we would not have penicillin. Now,instead we have everyone saying ... Oh How I love My Pillow.Do you Love your Pillow. It's dopey. Grown-ups never used to act or think this way. This is what we've become. Peer Pressure sheeple. If a product is good,maybe very good,I'll buy.Maybe talk about on occasion.But become Obsessed like with My Pillow.? This is Mobocracy.Let them eat Cake.
"But become obsessed like with My Pillow"? Hey, that's funny! We've all had bad experiences w/unsatisfactory products and some return the item, get $ back and don't buy it again or just toss it and life goes on for them or......hey, it's your choice how you want to handle such a major 'disappointment'........ Just trying to help you here by suggesting you could give it to a needy family who could use extra pillows....or burn the damn thing. Whatever gives you satisfaction and you can sleep soundly on your new pillow by relieving all stress & anxiety from having My Pillow in your house, which is giving you nightmares. Don't let a pillow become a mental health issue........
Here's the thingy. Maybe posters don't understand where I'm coming from. It's like Beer and Beer commercials.What if a Guy is " reformed " as was Nick Nolte in - A Walk in the Woods - Where he and college buddy Robert Redford as seniors decide to hike the Appalachian Trail.They shouldnt' have. But they did and were determined.First chance they got to go off the trail and sneak some lunch at a nearby small restaurant which seemed homey and quaint, they jumped at. Robert Redford was parched as he watched most the patrons having beer with their meal.The Waitress comes over to take their order an Redford quickly says He'll have a Beer.A nice tall glass of beer.The Waitress turns to Nolte as if he'll have the same.He says Oh No. You see I'm reformed. And explains to Redford what it means.Redford on a dime, decides to cancel a beer and have a diet coke. Most fellar I Imagine,use a pillow at night. Most fellars drink beer or at least the occasional beer. So for those who can't or won't drink a beer,a beer commercial is an affront to their right of privacy.Especially on Super Bowl Sunday. Which is why that virtually Every day,now,On TV is a My Pillow Super bowl day. There's no way too avoid that bright blue shirt and some nut squeezing, then fluffing,then hugging his My Pillow.Acting as if it's the best invention ever known to man. It's just a G'damned Pillow.Not even filled with nice goose feathers.Just some super ordinary,as common as ants on a summer picnic ... Memory Foam.That's been cut { or shredded } to fill as replacement for what once was acknowledged as true heirloom,or Grandma's Feather pillow. When My Pillow comes to Russia I'll know it's time to breathe a sigh of relief.I wonder what Nikita Khrushchev woulda thunk of My Pillow. Or Stalin with this dopey Advertising Blitzkrieg. It's Unamerican I tell ya.This adoration of a simple Pillow. Acting as if it's got an intellect.It even knows how to Hug,cuddle back it's users. This is how a Country falls.If it can so easily fall for some former doper pushing his dopey inanimate object { a G'damned pillow } of all things the end must be near. is my gripe. Take yer doggone commercials for a hike already.
No wonder I haven't heard their commercials running on the radio much anymore. Looks like My Pillow never conducted any trials for their claims. Infomercial sleeper My Pillow gets $1 million wake-up call over false medical claims..... Minnesota company My Pillows sweet dreams were made of a patented open-cell, poly-foam design created by inventor Michael J. Lindell. The pillow, a staple of late-night TV infomercials, was an American success story. It has sold some 18 million pillows since the first sale in 2005. My Pillows Twitter feed showed celebrities like actors Frankie Muniz and Neil Patrick Harris, former boxer Sugar Ray Leonard and, most recently, GOP nominee Donald Trump accepting a My Pillow into their lives. My Pillow promised comfort, coolness and, as Lindell described it in one commercial, an ability to keep sleepers from flip-flopping all night long like a guppy. Lindell told Consumer Reports in February that My Pillow ads ran nightly across the United States, and up to 10 times daily on the Fox network. The ads worked. At $50 a chunk-foam-filled pop, the company earned $100 million annually for the past several years, per a Minnesota Star Tribune report. But a recent lawsuit successfully argued My Pillow overstated its claims, deflating the pillow companys meteoric rise. Last Wednesday, 10 district attorneys from California sued My Pillow in Alameda County Superior Court, in Oakland, alleging the company had engaged in deceptive and false advertisements. My Pillow claimed it could prevent sleep loss associated with insomnia, restless leg syndrome, neck pain, fibromyalgia, sleep apnea, migraines and other ailments. This caught the skeptical eye of consumer watchdog group Truth in Advertising.org, which investigated the claims and argued there was no support from scientific evidence. The pillow company scrubbed the medical claims from its ads in California and may not make any such statements until it has conducted clinical trials. My Pillow counsel Joe Springer told the Star Tribune on Wednesday that the company stopped claiming the pillows had health benefits even before the trial. TINA.org agreed, noting that My Pillow erased such claims from its website homepage shortly after the group issued a warning letter in February. The quest to find the perfect pillow need not be an epic one. Robert Gotlin, director of Mount Sinai Beth Israels orthopedic and sports rehabilitation, told the New York Times in 2015 that as a rule of thumb, if a pillow feels comfortable, its a fit. The real answer is, there is no answer, Gotlin said to the Times. Foam or any of these pillows with the divots, the cutout supports, these are marketing items that have their own research attached that supports their claims. The best advice is to just pick one that feels good......snip~ https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...ke-up-call-over-false-medical-claims/?ref=yfp
yet I just heard a new Talk Radio program Pleading the merits of My Pillow.Mike Gallagher { # 7 in Talkers guide of Talk Radio's best } has been on such a My Pillow tear it makes me want to turn off his show. Gallagher went and spent an entire day or two with Lindell,and swore the guy was nearly Christlike.Then again, anything to do with being a good Christian, Gallagher jumps on boards.Like with Duck Dynasty.Mike Gallagher is a world class schmuck/sucker.Obviously he must know that Mike Lindell wrote a book explaining how he's Reformed from being a diehard Coke/crack addict. I think this Lindell creep has been paying under the table those like Mike Gallagher to Brag-Up his Dopey Pillow. Fer cryin' out loud.It's just a *******ned Pillow.And an expensine one at that. No way is it worth $ 5o bucks.That's what it sold for ... for years. I'm glad I'm keeping my 2011 My Pillow { complete with the fancy cardboard box with the exact same My Pillow slogans }. Only it's a ONE PIECE My Pillow. Totally different than the one they sell today.I use the pillow I had before I bought the 2011 My Pillow.It has cut up pieces of foam.That's all this Lindell Creep did. he took his One Piece memory Foam and cut it into rectangular pieces. This is really a no brainer folks.When someone resorts to such Hype and constant Ads of their product,there's something off.It means they are desperate to sell it.Imagine doing that with fine jewelry or Watches or even good clothes. Good stuff will sell itself.It stuff like ordinary beer or candy bars,cheap cereal that need constant advertising.Join the bandwagon hype.
Well, the deal they are offering is buy one get one free, plus two car pillows if one uses the Radio Jocks code. So that's four Pillows for 50 bucks. At least they can be washed.
I believe a couple of the 4 pillow are small car pillows. Don't get me wrong.The current My Pillow is probably quite nice. But it's just a Pillow.The one I purchased in march of 2011 when I purchased a New mattress is Not the same pillow.It was a One Piece My Pillow. When I called their bragged-about Award-winning service dept. I talked to a gal who hung up on me.She kept insisting that the Pillow I was talking about was a " Classic " My Pillow.She said it as if fact about 6 times. I said I bought it in 2011 and still have the original cardboard box it came in. Nowhere does it have the word " Classic ". They even have photos of My Pillow customers with captions on how great their My Pillow.I said the one I bought is a One Piece Pillow.She said to hold on and she'd check.She ended up disconnecting my call. So I called back.She changed her tune.She insisted This Time that ALL My Pillows are " shredded memory foam ". They always have been. I said the one I got was not shredded memory foam. She said I was wrong.I said I wasn't about to cut it open to , find out.Plus they had a big Picture of a naked My Pillow,right on the box. It showed a One Piece memory foam with an indentation as if a head was just resting on it.She kept on insisting what she was Obviously Instructed to say. That ALL My Pillows are " Shredded " memory foam and that the Pillow I had must not be a My Pillow. She then hung-up again. My Pillows have been around since 2005.The one I bought I tried for a few nights and ended up with a really sore,cramped neck.In fact,it was so bad I had to go to my doctor and get an X-ray.It was almost debilitating.The soreness went away after about a week and a half.I stopped using that pillow after about a 3 night trial. My neck problems went away.My Doctor also tried to con me into thinking I had Osteoporosis and prescribed Boniva.I wasn't about to take a once a month pill. What if there was side effects.Was I gonna just have to endure them for a full month until the Boniva wore off. Ya gotta use yer own noggin folks. That's why I loathe High Pressure Sales Pitches.Like with this My Pillow crap. It's the Sales world version of - Hope & Change -. It's childish.
In the 60's (when I was a mere lad) my parents bought me a foam pillow (not memory foam just a big block of foam) because of an allergy to feather pillows (supposedly). That thing was like a rock and smelled like rubber. It got 'lost' very quickly....I also remember 'Kapok' filling in pillows...some kind of fake fiber stuff I think.
I think what's happening is this Mike Lindell,a former Coke addict, has made enough dough with his My Pillow crap,that he can afford to use Radio Station Hosts like Mike Gallagher in concert with Salem Radio to hawk his product like nobody's business.With Mike Gallagher Literally singing-out praise of My Pillow as The best thing ever to happen to mankind. I noticed other Salem Radio hosts also singing the praises of My Pillow. I bet Salem is getting a nice chunk of change for running their Ads. I saw in Wal*Mart a week ago another box in their aisles with Pillows. These were priced at $ 3.99 They seemed like average pillows.Not High end but what most people probably use.In early summer Wal*Mart had like 4 different boxes with Pillows priced from $ 3.99 - $ 12.99. You can tell when a product is Priced wrong.Like My Pillow was for a long time.The Price will be extremely Rounded off. Like instead of 39.79 or $ 47.99 it will be $ 50 dollars.Sure sign of fraudulent marketing.
Let me help you out here.....go on The Dr. Phil show w/your pillow. I'm sure he could help you out. He even has in-patient treatment counseling and they will provide their own pillows. Hey! Ya can't lose!
The thing that bugs me the most is how Talk Radio guy Mike Gallagher has bought like Totally into this Mike Lindell con.Gallagher is literally head over heels in love with everything about Mike Lindell. Mike Gallagher also pulled this stunt with one of his boys { he has 4 adopted sons ... all in their 20's }. His one son was constantly getting in trouble with drugs and begging dad to bail him out.After about 5 years of this and Gallagher swearing this is the last time,Gallagher's one son ended up in the Hospital twice in about 6 months.Each time almost losing his life. The son finally straightened up and Dad { Mike Gallagher } found him a job at the Salvation Army.The son didn't even work their 6 months and Dad was complimenting him as if a being a Missionary for 20 years. Going so far as using his Radio show to promote how Great his one son is. The same approach Gallagher is using with this creep,Mike Lindell. Lindell wrote a book about his ability to con anyone.In fact,he would brag about his ability to con people.I'd love to see him before Judy Judy in that silly Blue silk shirt.
Oh dear! You DO need Dr. Phil......now it's Mike Gallagher and his son and even Judge Judy wearing a 'silly' shirt...... You let things that you can't control take over your life....a pillow, a talk radio host (have your ever tho't about just turning off the radio or switching over to soothing music or talking a walk or.....?) It works. There are people who aren't happy unless they have something to b!tch about. You're not one of them, are you? Go find yourself a girl friend and take her dancing. Live a little!
Umm....you mean you actually listen to Taylor Swift? And she has a 'grope accusation' against someone?
Beats the heck out of listening to a Pillow for sweet nothings. Imagine a grown Man hugging his My Pillow like some kiddie Teddy bear. Yup ... that's about the size of it. Grown men { including Mike Gallagher } actually fawning like a toddler over a security blanket in the form of a mere Pillow. This could in fact be the work of the Devil like in the Movie : - RITE - { Inspired by True Events } and starring Anthony Hopkins. What better place to start than one's Pillow.It houses our head for hours each night. Imagine all those thoughts and bad dreams a Pillow is privy to. I mean,it's may be worse than being a Democrat Pol. is what.
Wow.........ya know, bubba, you really do need to have a chat w/Dr. Phil.....seriously! You need to start enjoying life again and My Pillow - actually - YOUR pillow has sucked all joy out of your life and that needs to be fixed.....doncha agree? And btw, Gallagher is being PAID good $ to 'fawn' over a pillow. Don't sweat the small stuff........ Phil is waiting for you........
Perk.....Taylor Swift. I know nothing. [video=youtube;nfWlot6h_JM]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfWlot6h_JM[/video]
Oh gawd.....that is NOT my type of 'entertainment'..... So Foolardi listens to what Swift has to say or 'sing' about. Well, to each their own......
I couldn't care less about some made-for-country Yuppie who literally had a yellow brick road paved for her success.She's more a creation than anything else.Whatever powers that be managed to infiltrate Country as well.I wonder when Little Missy Taylor Prissy will get around to plugging My Pillow.Proilly never.Like her adaptation of the AC/DC song : Highway to Hell. I doubt she'd be doing a dendition of that either. She's about as Country as Lucky Charms cereal.Or Captn' Crunch.
