Snake Plissken

Do you remember when Trump invited the Mr. My Pillow guy to the White House to take a victory lap?

He claimed he converted his pillow factory to to manufacture 50,000 N95 masks a day

Guess how many masks he has manufactured so far?

If you guessed zero, you would be correct.

He is nothing but a middle man, as expected he is purchasing N95 masks from a mask manufacturer and marking up the price to profit from this pandemic.

The MAGAs were like "He's only trying to help!!!".

Yeah no, he, like Trump, is nothing more than a snake oil salesman. Fuck that guy.

No matter how many good things I hear about it.

All it is made of is shredded up memory foam. That is the big secret. One of the first to "discover" this, or had the money to steal it. So you get the memory foam experience, but you can manipulate the filling as opposed to those first solid memory foam pillows. Making it more responsive.

You can get a copy cat version, which does the same thing, for half the price.
