Believe me, I don't want this to sound like I'm not happy for other companies who have garnered exposure for their products and are cashing in on the fruits of their labor. Still its hard not to think "why them and not us?"
Over the course of these difficult 3 years trying to introduce a new product to the world, products like The Snuggie continue to frustrate me! I mean, what does a blanket with sleeves have that a locking rock doesn't? In fact, I'd argue that while the Snuggie can keep you warm after a long day at work, it's more important to be able to get out of the cold in the first place.
To add insult to injury all you have to do is tune into a show like Anthony Sullivan's Pitchman and see all the crap that is churned out of a factory in China and gobbled up by American consumers. Its beyond frustrating, it's down right infuriating! Case in point, on Wednesday of this week ABC News ran a story on a Facebook about a guy in New York who is raking in the dough selling perfumes that smell like Roast Beef! Not only is the thought of smelling like I just worked a 10 hour shift at Arby's completely revolting, but the fact that people are paying 1,000's of dollars (yes 1,000's) for this is beyond comprehension and made exponentially worse because it was featured on national news!!!
After pouring 1,000's and giving up everything we own to give the RocLok a go, its so disheartening that we haven't made our mark yet. I'm not really sure what is going to make that page turn in our favor or if it ever will.
Until then we'll continue to do what we feel is right. Continue to make our little product right here in the USA forsaking a quick buck to build something we can be proud of. We'll continue donating profit to help save animals lives even if it means we have to tough out another Top Ramen dinner and someday, God willing we'll be able to say Take that Snuggie! Until then, I'll continue to vent, thank you for listening!
