Replacing a broken set of blinds in my house and apparently no one sells the old standard kind where you pull the cord to raise them, I guess because kids and/or pets could tangle in the cord? Bit of an education in miniblinds today.

    I didn’t even realize they were called "mini"blinds until I moved in to my current place and there was some kind of rule that mentioned them. I’d only heard them referred to as “blinds” my entire life up to that point. This implies the existence of larger blinds which I’ve yet to see.

    Edit: I’ve definitely seen them. Apparently my brain is underclocked today.

      Do the vertical giant blinds count as regular blinds or are those the large version? Link

        I hate those so much. Bougie and useless in my experience

        I’d say those count. Edited my other comment

        Owning a set of these for my glass sliding door is probably why I’m in the habit of calling the ones in windows “miniblinds.”
