Snuggie is an epic win

As a belated Christmas gift my roommate bought me the ever popular Snuggie. For those who live under a rock a Snuggie is a blanket with sleeves. The comfy invention can be found online or on daily infomercials.
My roommate bought herself, me and her best friend all Snuggies. The ironic part is that my roommate was opposed to Snuggies at first and hated them now she obviously loves her blue Snuggie.
“It’s a blanket with sleeves who would want that?” was what she would say.
Now the both of us hang in our dorm room doing homework and staying warm with our Snuggies or as my roommate likes to refer to them as `Snugginators’.
I believe the Snuggie is an epic win because just like an ordinary blanket it keeps you warm. However, with the added benefit of sleeves the invention allows you to do your homework, change the remote on the television and talk on the phone without having to do take your arms out of the blanket. Pure genius.
The first thing I did when I came back to my dorm room was put on the Snuggie that was on my bed, curled up in a ball and had a nap. The Snuggie is very warm considering it is made up of super soft fleece material.
Honestly the only bad thing I can say about the Snuggie is that it is very long and have on occasion tripped on my long red Snuggie.
I recommend getting a Snuggie. Not only do you stay super warm but the freedom to use your hands without being trapped under a blanket comes in handy. Especially when you’re watching television but don’t want to move because you’re so comfortable…oh yeah that’s when you really appreciate the pop culture phenomenon Snuggie.

Ohhh the beloved snuggie!
If you read my post concerning ways to stay warm this winter, our beloved snuggie made the list, proving one thing.. I also fell victim to the “oh-I-want-a-snuggie” and also received one for Christmas.
What a craze eh? I was quite surprised of how many people have actually received them. But it’s been taken a little too far. I went to the states over the holidays and saw Snuggie’s for everything – Simpsons patterned, pink ones, orange ones, Family Guy ones, and last but not least… Snuggie’s for your pets….
I’m starting to think they are a little overrated. Not that a blanket with sleeves is not cool, but my excitement to have one faded slightly once I put it on.
There’s no back to it! The commericials (and the spoofs) don’t tell you that. But then again, it is just a blanket!
But yes, the spoofs… have you seen them?
Here’s one of them –

Anywho Jackie, I do agree though that it is cool, I’m just wondering if they have become overrated…
I’d discuss this into further detail… but I must go to the store and buy a Slap Chop!
Have fun staying warm!
Ahaha thanks for the posting the spoof! It was pretty funny:)
For a fast and easy alternative to the Snuggie… wear a robe backwards.
