The Snuggie

The Snuggie:
Now, I am sure that all of you have seen this commercial at least once or twice (and probably turned the channel halfway through).



I am going to call this one of the least innovative product ever marketed. IT IS A ROBE THAT YOU PUT ON BACKWARDS!
The best part about this product is, without a doubt, the commercial. I love the way that it starts out sounding like a Dr. Seuss book and suddenly stops rhyming and having any sort of rhythm. The woman at the beginning of the commericial is hilarious in her overacting as well, especially the way she throws the blanket off her shoulders to answer the phone and the shivering. Also, the scenarios that they put the Snuggie users in are ridiculous. I can see people using this backward robe that makes you look like a monk at home to keep you warm, but what self-respecting football fan is going to wear this to a game? I can see this being a REAL hit in a college dormatory as well.
I know that the Snuggie is an easy target. I just had to get that off of my chest.

seibert, kenner, and i were just talking about how much we want the snuggie! a glorified backwards robe? yes. but it looks so comfortable. however, i agree whole-heartedly on the football games. i would totally make fun of someone at a football game who had a snuggie.
