Snuggie Sightings -- Run for your life!

Back in October, I posted a quick little stab at The Snuggie blanket, comparing it to something that cult members might wear. Little did I know that in a couple days, I'd rank first in Google searches for various snuggie search terms. Within a matter of a week or two, I was getting thousands of hits from people looking for snuggies.

That led me to edit the post a few times with updated info for people looking for the main site, but I never did say anything else about the snuggie itself. Lots of others shared there opinions, though, and turns out, Snuggies were making most of their money on shipping additional slanket-like blanket/robes and were hard to get in touch with, prompting people to find the head company's snail mail address even.

All that aside, though, I still find them hilarious, and I'm not alone on that. Now there's a whole site for Snuggies pictures called "Snuggie Sightings," haha!

Snuggie Sightings


Here's just a few pictures but go over there to see a ton of pictures and even some videos from different Snuggie perspectives. Who knew it'd be so fun?

~Edit~ Oh, and here's a link to an article in USA Today about "pop culture embracing" the snuggie. Oh geez....

~Edit~ Be sure to check out the link left in the comments. The parody video over there is hilarious (although does have a couple curse words, so watch out for PG ears around)

ROFL! I totally thought the snuggie commercials were an SNL parody when I first saw them. I had no idea they were for REAL! :)

I don't understand the draw to the snuggie...I would get all tangled in it for sure!

I thought they were a joke at first, too! I'm sorry, I really don't have that much trouble keeping my blanket on my when I'm on the couch. If you have an IQ over 40, you can handle it.

BTW, Jessi - stop by my blog later. I've tagged you. :)

the two best infomercial products ever have to the Snuggie and the Shamwow... i wonder if it's possible to combine the two, and make a single, super-absorbent robe?

I went to one of the snuggie pub crawls in chicago and I actually saw a few guys wearing snuggies made out of shamwows. Seems coffee isn't the first person to think about this idea.
