Speaking of space blankets, I've got a couple funny stories...
The first time I had to break out the space blanket, I was unaware of how loud and crinkly they were. My sister and her husband were sleeping close by in their hammocks, so I tried my best to keep quiet, but throughout the night I was shifting around a bit. The next morning, I asked my sister how she slept, and she said that her husband had been eating crackers all night and kept her awake (imagine the 6 pack of crackers in a crinkly cellophane wrapper). I told her what it actually was, and we had a laugh. It's now an inside joke with us, and we call them cracker bags instead of space blankets. Maybe you had to be there, but trust me, it was funny at the time

Another time while camping, my sister laid out in the sun on top of a Adventure Medical Kits emergence blanket (the one that is orange on one side with the survival instructions printed on it). When she got off the blanket, the survival instructions had transferred onto her skin like a Lick N' Stick tattoo. She didn't realize it until another group of campers started staring and whispering! She practically had to scrub away her first layer of skin to get it off. That has been the source of many good jokes

Then, this one time, at band camp...
no, that’s all I have
