Has anyone seen the Snuggie commercial? Here it is just incase you missed it. Being that this post is about this product, I suggest you view it at least once before continuing. Go ahead, I'll wait.
OK did you see that crap? Are they friggin' serious? Stupid products have been around for a long time and the commercials for them are just as ridiculous. But come on... a blanket with sleeves!! Granted everything in the commercial is generally true. Before wireless gaming consoles, when I played a game, the wire would let the cold air under the blanket, so I either had to deal with it, turn up the heat, or just keep my arms out. It was rather annoying. So I thought on how I could solve this problem of staying warm without turning up the heat (so I could save money) and at the same time, keep my arms and legs warm.
First I tried putting on more clothes, but that gets bulky and uncomfortable over a long period of time, but I was warm and had the freedom to move my arms. That made me realize I needed something with sleeves. Like a ROBE!!! It was perfect too because it's the length of my body, terrycloth which is REALLY warm, and it has sleeves. Suddenly I was able to move about staying warm even while moving throughout my house. I could even wear it outside while taking out the garbage. I've been using this new fangled invention for only a short period of time... 3 years and I have to admit... it's my 2nd one. The first was given to me by my parents when I was around 13.
So when I saw this commercial I immediately thought, "IT'S A BACKWARDS ROBE!!!" The only major difference is it doesn't come with a rope to tie so you back is exposed unless (and heaven forbid you do this) you wear it the right way. The worst part about this commercial is the old guy that has it on while flipping the channels with his remote. The "Snuggie" made him look like a Catholic Monk. Tell me I'm lying, I dare you. I'm not the only one who thinks this way either, but if you must have one, I've provided a link to make it easier to get one from this post. You have been warned! LOL
