Throwboy Launches New Mac-Themed Woven Throw Blankets

[boomspot]

A blanket that doubles as birth control. Perfect!

$160. LOL. Looks like they're also including Apple pricing as part of the design.

Charging $160 for a blanket like that is absurd. They could charge a lot less and still make a nice profit. I hope they go out of business.

Vindictive much? Just don't buy it and calm down.

Aside from being overpriced, I wouldn’t buy one simply because of the colour scheme. If you’re going to use iMac G3’s why the hell wouldn’t you make the colours as similar as possible to the G3’s awesome fruity colours?! 🤦🏼

Great products, beautifully engineered.

Macrumors…….you are kidding!

Well, they have to license the images from Apple, for starters. Then there’s the material and production costs (silkscreening or computer guided weaving) salaries, rent, equipment, taxes, utilities, etc. Besides, buy it or don’t.

Really…I had no idea how this whole profit thing worked, thanks the the explanation.

At that price they must be the polishing cloths for the new Apple Cinema Displays being announced at the next keynote.

Is the Finder smiley face not a copyrighted design, are these blankets fully licensed and bonded by the state of California?

 

[nottorp]

I don't understand stuff like that. It's Apple who should pay me to display their marketing on my couch. Not me who should pay 160 usd.

I think the design is pretty cool, I like the finder icon one. But who the f wants to wrap themselves in a cotton (+poly) blanket (use wool ffs), and who wants to pay 160 dollars for one?

They do not license the images. None of the required licensing disclosures are there. That’s why they are generic and there is no Apple logo on anything. The Mac face is available for public use….but not in this context. They are lucky Apple doesn’t care.

@Apple_Robert
How much Apple charge you for the Chiffonnette?

 

[CJM]

Would definitely need a throw to cover up that awful sofa. Weyyyyyyyy

 

[VulchR]

Brilliant idea, but they need one of the MacOS spinning wheel.

Looks very good. But $160 is too much.

No problem. Just wait for the going out of business sale.

I am calm. Voicing an opinion you dont like doesn’t mean I am not calm or vindictive.

 

[w5jck]

Not worth $160, but the first one shown would have a good purpose if I purchased it: I could then fart in Apple's face as payback for all the buggy OSes they are churning out these days. ?
