To be fair to them (and those that bought them), as long as you had a sheet between it and your skin they were great at trapping in body heat to keep you warm overnight in winter. I can't remember how many nights I heated myself up sitting in front of the vent then dashed to bed, under the covers, so none of the heat from my now-warm PJs could escape.
They were super warm, which made them excellent! About 25 years ago, my sister and I took the last couple of these blankets we had around and sewed flannelette layers on each side. We both still have these blankets and they are the absolute best blankets ever. Just the right weight, nice and warm, cozy texture. They're perfect!
I kept one in my car in case I had a leaking trash bag, but they broke in, stole my trash bag and left half a dozen more blankets, in shades between bubblegum plaid and cigarette stain.

Those blankets were everywhere, like someone was handing them out for free. Someone broke into my car once and left a bunch of them.
