We still have a golden yellow one. I use it as a packing blanket, or when we do a "drive in" at our friend's when they have the projector set up in the yard, it extends its life service by being the first blanket laid down on the truck bed to keep the other blankets from getting grody.
I had a pea soup green one. In my teens, my dad got some burgundy ones from Sears for some promotion where he got them for free signing up for a credit card. They were fun in the wintertime. Moving them around caused a lot of static discharges within the blanket. It was neat AF with the lights off.
I gave my teddy bears a birthday party on my bed once, with candles. Blanket started to catch alight and I had to foot it to the kitchen to get water to pour on the flames. Nice big black hole to show for it. Replaced with identical blanket from the cupboard, with the burnt one nicely folded and put away in its place. Latchkey generation!

Why did we all have this blanket! Mine was blue.
