Today we learned (or were reminded) that Robynne is an early adopter of Pajama Jeans. Has anyone tried Forever Lazy or a Hoodie Footie?

    I have not tried either of those -- and I don't actually *have* Pajama Jeans, I'm just obsessed with them -- but I did have an Inside-the-Egg-Scrambler.

    And I have always wished that a bald man would let me spray his head with Hair In a Can.

    Are you now convinced that you want to purchase a pair of Pajama Jeans or Comfy Jeans?

    How does an Inside the Egg Scrambler work?

    I am smitten with the Hoodie-Footie, though.

    This is stupidly catchy.



    I wouldn't buy a hoodie-footie, but I'd take it as a Christmas present happily:)

    hahaha, I didn't realize that the Hoodie-Footie is considered a unisex garment? The Hoodie-Footie commercials feature gals and the the Forever Lazy commercials include both guys and gals and encourage wearing the FL outside the home. Regardless, when wearing a HF or FL, one does resemble a Teletubby as one YouTube commenter noted.

    I am convinced that I need Pajama Jeans.

    Unfortunately, the two-thirds of my children who live with me are not convinced that they want to be seen in public with me if I am wearing them.

    I definitely think I will be needing a Hoodie Footie when I move to Toronto. In Phoenix it's even too hot for socks.

    INSIDE THE EGG SCRAMBLER

    It makes awesomely weird hard-boiled eggs.

    If you don't mind me asking. What possessed you to purchase the Inside the Egg Scrambler?

    This is not my sort of thing.

    My bff, the super-adorable REAL Texan that she is? Always tells me to pay attention to my appearance no matter where I'm going. She's been known to do my hair, drag me out shopping, and put her makeup on me before we go to Target.

    I'm no fashion plate (by any means), but I always try to dress with a little bit of care. I don't wear loungewear in public. Now, on the flip side? I refuse to wear uncomfortable clothing.

    I think you should add "I don't wear loungewear in public" to your Vixen profile.

    It was a gift.

    But I would have bought one because I love ridiculous gadgets.

    What is so funny about the Inside the Egg Scrambler is that it is a one purpose item that takes up drawer space--and that it replaces items that many people already have--a bowl and a whisk. Have you seen the commercial for Eggies? Up for plastic leaching into their boiled eggs?

    Perhaps the appeal is that you don't have to wash the bowl and the whisk. Fewer dishes to do!

    I don't think I could wear these. Even though I can get cold I don't like wandering around in my pajamas and that is what this would seem like.

    Don't get me wrong. I am a pretty casual dresser and I see nothing wrong with being comfortable but I just like to get "dressed" and these would make me feel like I wasn't.

    Well, two things. Back in those days my kitchen was 1,000 sq. ft. so I didn't have to worry about things taking up space. I lived in that house for ten years and never filled up all of the kitchen cabinets. Also, a whisk and a bowl can't scramble eggs *inside* the shell.

    As for the Eggies ... I don't believe that boiling water is hot enough to actually dissolve plastic that's designed to be boiled.

    But, if you drop hard-boiled eggs into ice water the second they're done, they peel with no trouble, so Eggies wouldn't interest me. I only like gadgets that do useless thing you can't do any other way.

    I was thinking about the recommendation to avoid using certain types of plastic containers when heating food in the microwave because the plastic nasties can leach into the food. The plastic doesn't necessarily visibly melt, but some chemicals in the plastic can migrate to our meals.

    Edited to Add: true there is no other product to that can whisk/beat an egg while the contents are still in its shell. I suppose that it provides a certain thrill factor.

    I would obsess over the egg-schmutz build up more than the need to wash a bowl and whisk.

    Oh, yeah. Only if you use plastic that's not microwave safe. I don't know anyone who microwaves stuff in empty margarine tubs, but who knows what people do?

    I come across a lot of silly stuff when I'm researching articles, and I thought you were referring to the false belief that all plastic containers are bad because they somehow put out vapors or chemicals that contaminate everything.

    The FDA has become so politicized that I find it hard to trust their data.

    I really don't like using plastic, supposedly safe or not, in the microwave.
