I had a hard lesson on thread count. I went to Kohls needing to get some chocolate sheets. Shopping by color only, I picked up some sheets that were Egyptian Cotton, 1200 thread count. So then I pick up 2 candles and head to the checkout. The slower than molasses, double scanning, bi-focal using sales clerk FINALLY got to total my order.
"Your total is $173.xx sir"
WTF?! Why did I spend $140 on SHEETS?! I could not believe and STILL cannot believe I spent over $40 for sheets...lol
I will admit though that these are THE softest sheets I have slept on! Now I am a thread count whore and will accept nothing less! :)
Ok, so this dude is Hilarious!!!!! My people of color making significant gains!!! Go Aziz!!
ReplyDeleteAnd Dimitri, 1200 thread count though??? Did you do an investigative report on your sheets?? I want to know what is the ACTUAL count, LOL!!!!! (600)
Thread count is very important. People think I'm crazy because I spend so much money on sheets but I have to be comfortable. I can only imagine what 1200 thread count sheets feel like. ;-)
ReplyDelete@ stateofmine, 1200 thread count DOES feel like sleeping in lotion!...lol
ReplyDelete@ Taj, I don't know and cannot find this "actual vs. advertised list" but it is a true court case!! http://www.newyorker.com/talk/2008/01/28/080128ta_talk_collins
well, I'd be pretty pissed too If I got home, teased my mind and body into thinking I was gonna be caressed by my sheets, only to find out they were a fraud! Shoot, and as much as they cost!
ReplyDeleteAnd there are those who would treasure a small clean piece of dry cardboard they could call their own , secure from harm's way.....the hypocrisy of it all!!!
ReplyDelete@ Vic, As usual the sobering text of reason! Thanx for putting it all back into perspective...
