It's Snuggie Wuggie Time!
No this is not some love sick steroid induced Valentines day post. This is in fact a public service of some measure. The following is a product review.
We here at the 4077th CellPhone have one thing on our minds at all times. No not that. Its to help YOU the consumer to become better informed.
In an economic climate that can best be described as Armageddon, there has been an increase in the number of products available on the market to help you the consumer save money. One of the most widely advertised and reportedly most successful products has been The Snuggie.
Yes I know your saying to yourself, wasn't that a character on Seasame Street?
The Snuggie is known as the blanket with arms. Because how often are you sitting on the couch with a blanket when suddenly a British Soldier (redcoat) breaks into your house and tries to violate your Third Amendment rights. If only your blanket had sleeves you could have easily exercised your second amendment rights and shot him with that sawed off shot gun you keep on you while watching MTV, just in case.
Now you too can have the safety and security that comes with the Snuggie.
By Now you have probalby all seen the commericals. Old man with a snuggie. Old woman with snuggie. Whole family with matching snuggies participating in some type of pagan fertility rituals around a fire or while attending a local sporting events.
If your like me you wondered, does the Snuggie really work? Isn't it just a backwards robe?
Well I recently had the opportunity to test drive a snuggie and the following are my impressions.
I will admit, the sheer adrenaline and excitment are overwhelming. The sheer notion of seeing a Snuggie in real life and having the opportunity to try it on are invigorating. Though this is a wonderful feeling that could only otherwise be achieved with illicit pharmacuetical products, it may not be the desired result when relaxing on the couch.
Once the initial reaction of the Snuggie vanishes, the wearer is left with over sized sleeves and a backend that is almost constantly exposed. Reminds me of my first marriage.
One is tempted to engage in religious ceremonies again not exactly the "relaxing" feeling you were initially going for.
One major flaw that can almost be seen in the photo above is that there is no way to secure the snuggie around your backend. It is almost like a hospital gown. And if you can't walk around naked in your snuggie, really what is the point.
For me I will have to stick with the old fashioned robe.
(Psychotic-Aaron Morey-Eating Dog not included)
As you can see here the robe is secured with an amazing invention most comparable with a belt. My back end is modestly covered as well as my front. It is both warm and convenient.
So in the end I believe the blanket can come out of hiding as the Snuggie, however popular it may be will not be replacing it in bedrooms across the country anytime soon. That is unless of course the Blanket tried to sell a seat on the couch and the State Senate decides to remove the Blanket entirely from office. If that happens, well then the Snuggie will probably take over and try to raise taxes.
Ladies and gentlemen take my advice, if you are forced to choose between a Snuggie and a Slanket, go with the Snuggie. Nothing really beats name brand recognition in this frosty economic climate.
