The Snuggie


We've all seen it and we've all laughed at its expense. The infomercial airs at 3am, right about the time when I stumble back into my dorm after a long night of drinking. Maybe it's the alcohol, maybe it's the weed, maybe it's neither. Either way, The Snuggie looks like one of the most ridiculous products ever pitched to the consumers of America. It was probably invented by some guy who was so hungover he put his robe on backwards and decided he was dressed.

Now, normally a product like this would never warrant any of my attention, but The Snuggie and I have a score to settle. Let it be known that in sixth grade I participated in a science fair known as the "Invention Convention." My entry into the competition: A blanket with sleeves. Of course, The Snuggie has now sold over 4 million units and has become a pop culture phenomenon. 

Sure, wearing a Snuggie may be comfortable but by donning such a ridiculous costume you also run the risk of being confused as a KKK member or medieval monk. Does the couple above not look ready to drink the cool aid?
