The Snuggie Cult

This "Snuggie" deal is getting out of control, in my opinion. I'm going to apologize in advance if you are a Snuggie Lover (read: weird), because I am anti-Snuggie.

First of all, I recently heard that the Snuggie stole the idea from another company, known as the "Slanket". I'll admit, I hate both of the names, but I also dislike stealers even more.

So what happens when the Snuggie-rage gets out of control?

This! This happens!

Sadly, you can find more on the story, which Glamour jumped on, here. But truth be told, I'm with this blogger on her review, which states...

"Omg, it's a "baby snuggie"! Actually, it's a .Peekaru, a fleece-y vest/baby carrier hybrid. As a new mom, I can't get enough of all the wacky baby contraptions for sale. This thing looks like Star Trek meets the Baby Bjorn.

If this is not enough, there have been talks in the works for months now on Snuggie Pub Crawls.

Yes, that's right. If you own a Snuggie and are willing to wear it in public, you can attend the first ever St. Louis Snuggie Pub Crawl. Date TBD. But if interested, you can find more information here.

I don't know what the hype is all about. Seriously, it's just a backwards robe!

What are your thoughts on the Snuggie?

OMG. I hate the Snuggies. There are lots of anti-snuggie videos on youtube. They are hilarious.
My sister and I die laughing at their commercial when people where monk-like gowns at sporting events and such. Too funny.
Chase said he was getting me one for Christmas because they show the commercial on kids channels all the time. I laughed at him and said "that's okay honey, I don't really need one."
The only problem is Mark says they are one of their top sellers at Walgreens. People are crazy.

I laughed until I had tears when I saw that commercial on tv. I thought it was a joke--I really did! When those people are all wearing the same color at a ballgame and stand up cheering, I come unglued! AND then when Chase told Julie that he was getting her one for Christmas, it was too much!
