Extra large backwards bathrobe takes nation by storm

[Math Is Hard]

Snuggies are selling like hotcakes.

http://www.getsnuggie.com/

The Snuggie™ keeps you totally warm and gives you the freedom to use your hands. Work the remote, use your laptop or do some reading in total warmth and comfort!

Snuggie™ is made with super soft, thick, luxurious fleece with roomy, oversized sleeves that let you do what you want while still being totally wrapped in warmth.

A despondent America takes to the couch. I predict that sofa accessories will be the hot new trend - especially ones that have some money saving feature.

[Math Is Hard]

Will The Slanket (http://www.theslanket.com/) people sue?

Snuggie needs a holster attached to the end of the sleeve to house a remote control.

[Cyrus]

Psht. I wear double layers. UCLA t-shirt underneath with my Harvard long sleave on top!

It also needs cup holders...lots and lots of cup holders.

[turbo]

It also needs cup holders...lots and lots of cup holders.Any defrosters?? Not pushing here, but Maine has had some really cold temps recently, so electrical warming could help sell the the extra-large backward bathrobes.

[Math Is Hard]

I'm going to make one for my cat.

The Slanket has already been tested in Maine - Slanket Parents Battle High Heating Bills (http://www.theslanket.com/index.php?path=news&month=092008#23)

The people in those pictures scare me; especially the one in pigtails and an Apricot Slanket. And isn't there some sort of law against talking on a cell phone while wearing Apricot Slankets?

[SticksandStones]

So it's a cloak?

[BobG]

So it's a cloak?

More like a cult.

If you go to Slanket or Snuggie party, do you have to wear anything underneath? I mean, is your backside going to be exposed?

[berkeman]

Your cat knows how to work a TV remote? :bugeye:

I mean, is your backside going to be exposed?These parties are filled with as many party-goers as they are with protesters from the other sect. The protesters usually show up with front- and back-sides exposed, and carrying boards that say "I'd rather go naked than wear a snuggie/slanket."

[edward]

Is there a belt around it so your behind doesn't stick out when you stand up??

I'll need a place to put; my pen, my remote, stash some goodies and a place to keep my nachos warm. :biggrin:

[fashion-robes]

yes of course you can stylize it in any way you like

[Math Is Hard]

does anyone else smell spam cooking?

[physics girl phd]

I was just thinking this morning (when I passed a shelf of "breast cancer awareness snuggies" at Walgreens) that I need to market a nursing version of the snuggie.

[Math Is Hard]

That's a really awesome idea!

[lisab]

You could wear it backwards. But then it would just be...a bathrobe.

[BobG]

I'd prefer one of these to a Snuggy: http://www.freepatentsonline.com/4535479.pdf

How come these never caught on?

[Astronuc]

Will The Slanket (http://www.theslanket.com/) people sue? Looks like there's enough room in that for two people. :biggrin:

Because those look even stupider than a snuggy. :biggrin:

a snoobie ?

[Moonbear]

I think you could easily hide a baby under the snuggie, and nobody would know what you were doing under there. :biggrin: That might actually be one good use of the thing. At least it won't be falling off your shoulder while you're trying to nurse if you're concerned about modesty.

[Math Is Hard]

Can we get matching Snuggies for the Sisterhood? Maybe with a logo or something.

[Evo]

Ack, the local radio perves did a show where they interviewed some guy that had a Snuggies sex positions website. Noooo.

[Math Is Hard]

I guess that could be kinda useful in cold climates.

[TheStatutoryApe]

I think I'll stick with my Cloak of Elvenkind (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFG5Dd6EF1k).

Re: the Slanket-Snuggie battle.

The traditionalists in the poncho camp are beside themselves over this issue, feeling sidelined. Word is, they are considering a flanking maneuver to garner media attention.

[GeorginaS]

Okay, Sisterhood. Did anyone check out this guy?

I think I know this guy (http://www.theslanket.com/index.php?path=the_product)

We probably have to acquire him somehow, just because.

He looks like a monk. I suppose we could find use for him.

I think if they simply stated that they even care it would bring all the amusing national attention that they could ever want. I can just see it, they could fight it out like HD and BluRay....

[GeorginaS]

There are uses for unconscious monks?

[lisab]

My cat thinks so. She loves the laps of living people who are very, very still.

[Moonbear]

Heh heh heh heh. :devil:

Though, I think I want a version with mittens. Afterall, what's the use of a big blanket with sleeves if my hands still get cold holding my Kindle (used to be a book)? :biggrin:

[Redbelly98]

I'm going to wait till Consumer Reports does a comparison of the Snuggie vs. the Slanket, so I can make an informed decision before I buy.

He could solve mysteries for you....

Must not have done well given that they appear to be invisible.

[Norman]

Just because I found this:

[Math Is Hard]

AHAAHAHAHAA! I want to go to the Snuggie pub crawl! :rofl:

[hypatia]

I was given one as a gift, and I now confess, I am a snuggie addict. Its long enough to wrap around my feet, and the sleeves are long enough to keep my hands warm.

But a warning, don't run to answer the phone with your snuggie on. You will trip and fall. On the up side, I have found a new use for my antique kilt pins, they are now snuggie pins! Used of course to pin the snuggie up while running to the phone.

Note... Evo my not use the snuggie pin, or in fact she should never own a snuggie.

[Evo]

Note... Evo my not use the snuggie pin, or in fact she should never own a snuggie.Especially if I take that upstairs apartment. I want one of those electric stair chairs.

At least the Snuggies for dogs made Time's worst invention list.

A gas mask bra? How did that ever wind up on the worst invention list?

And I don't see what's wrong with Snuggies for dogs, either. It makes sense, especially in the winter when the poor dog is trying to run through deep snow.

By the way, the two in the dark red snuggy are really short. In fact, I think they're Siamese twins (except probably fraternal Siamese twins since they don't look identical). I think that points out another good point of snuggies. Midgets can buy them and not look like they're wearing little kids' clothes.

Also, Dude, Midget is not the preferred nomenclature. "Vertically Challenged", please.

Excellent movie!

Excellent movie!

I realized that maybe Bob wouldn't get it after I posted it, so I was hoping that someone else would comment so he wouldn't feel like I was being a jerk to him.

So thanks Dembadon!

Breaking news on the Snuggie front!

There's a new product made for adults to wear while they watch TV - it's a onesie for adults.

Meet the "Forever Lazy."

[Office_Shredder]

I just won one of these in a raffle at a bar. Ten people who purchased a Newcastle Brown pint got them, out of about 20 total people. Pretty sweet

[Andre]

Hmmm :uhh: We used to wear things like that on trans atlantic ferry flights under our dry suits/flying gear, just in case we had to eject the aircraft and be floating around in the atlantic near Greenland.

[i_wish_i_was_smart]

This is just proof that Americans will buy ANYTHING..... true story

whatever happened to just a normal blanket, is that not good enough for you anymore?? lol

[HeLiXe]

Will The Slanket (http://www.theslanket.com/) people sue?

:rofl:

[Pianoman14]

Hey! Guess what! There's this thing called a sweater!

Maybe I should patent it.

[mugaliens]

Snuggies are selling like hotcakes.

Nay, lass! Seven yards of twill woven worsted wool (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_kilt#The_great_kilt)is where it's at!

[Ivan Seeking]

I got Tsu a fleece Snuggy for Christmas. She loves it! Unfortunately, Jack [the cat] seems to be claiming squatters rights and has taken possession.

[hypatia]

My animals have bonded with my Snuggie also. Has anyone mentions that it is also a animal hair magnet? No need for special brooms and vacuum's, just accidentally drop the Snuggie on the floor and the job is done.

[nismaratwork]

I went to a big and tall store, and asked for their largest and softest robe. Now I have a 9x (there was a 10x, but I'm not tall enough) that I can wear AND wrap around my sweetie. So... there's an upside to some people being morbidly obese I guess?
