Do you own a Snuggie?

So I ran to the local Super Walmart this morning. I'm making my way to the grocery section when I see a guy standing at the Snuggie display. He's holding up the box and looking it over. I can only imagine what is going through his mind. He's studying the box like he was reading the directions to a new flat panel tv. The only thing that was running through my mind was to scream at him. "Drop the box and step away from the display, turn around and run as fast as you can and exit the store immediately!" I mean really? A grown man standing there actually debating whether or not to buy a Snuggie? WTF is wrong with some people.

Yeah it's crazy when you see simple ideas and wish you came up with it- I know that's the case with me. I kid you not a few years ago I used to wake up in the morning to read/do hw/watch tv with a blanket on and thought "man this is uncomfortable, they should have a blanket with holes so I can hold stuff." Damn if I came up with that idea I would be on the Ferrari board by now.

I ordered 2 back in Feb just to get the free book lights. Got a reply that said they were on backorder and that my prder was canceled. I saw the funds go back into my account and forgot all about it. About a month ago there a package at my door and it's the snuggies and the book lights. I check my bank account and they never took the funds back. So I got them for free!!! But I must say even free SNUGGIES SUCK!

Good idea, terrible execution

Just use a bathrobe as a throw blanket, put your arms through the sleeves, same thing.

Woah, the snuggly alone is bad enough but can you believe the "actors" that willingly sacrificed their dignity for money to be in that commercial? Talk about money talks.
