The Cult of the Snuggie

[Turbo D]

So when did blankets stop serving a purpose?

Or clothes.

The Romans apparently wore snuggies as clothes.

So my parents moved recently and something went wrong with their heater- they've been without heat for the last two days (supposedly it's getting fixed today).  I asked my mother if she's been using her Snuggie and she says she's been using it constantly.  She walks around with it and was tempted to go outside with it as well.  She seems to believe that it's warmer than a blanket and warmer than fleece- So on the one hand she's loving her late Christmas present from me but on the other hand she's been brainwashed by Snuggie and is now a member of its cult.

I have a rare invention called a blanket.

Just when I thought this story had ended, a new chapter emerges: It's awesome that the Snuggie has come to her rescue.

Also, my wife totally knew about the Snuggie long before I found out about it on these boards.

She did not want one for Valentine's Day, unfortunately.

Ha in a show of honesty I must admit that I'm often lunging about the apartment wearing this thing as well.  It's got its claws in me.  I do wonder though about what exactly hooked my fiance on it when she saw the commercial- a chick thing?  The silliness of it?  The name?  Or is simply that it's a blanket with sleeves?  A combination of all I assume.  I could, of course- just ask her.  Now imagine if the shamwow/food chopper guy (lol we have shamwow too- they were on our bridal registry) advertised snuggies as well- that'd be a combination too powerful to resist and I'm sure the cult of snuggie would have consumed us all.

I wonder if we can have some Snuggies made up in a TurboGrafx-16 print. Then we can be a real cult, for a cult classic console!

Brilliant! I want an "Image Fight" Snuggie, actually... although a TG-16 Snuggie would look fantastic with a pair of fingerless TG-16 gloves. Damn, I want both.

I think the appeal of Snuggie must be for all of the reasons you listed... but, the name of the product is so damn cute, I just feel like Snuggie becomes part of the family. And who doesn't want to wrap themselves in the arms of a loved one?

Speaking of foodchoppers, SLAPCHOP is the product that my wife and I have laughed about a few weeks ago. If you watch the commercial carefully, you'll see that there is NO WAY to cube things unless you PRE-SLICE the food... thereby defeating the purpose of the product.

Brilliant!

Seriously, though, I'm thinking about buying a Snuggie for my wife as a joke. A joke that I wouldn't mind wearing in the frozen tundra of my home.
