Every time I see that freaking commercial, I think of this thread. The words "OMG WTF the Snuggie" come into my head instantly!

I had defended the Snuggie in one of my previous posts, but I had a "WTF" moment during one of their commercials yesterday. I don't know if it was a new commercial, or if I just tend to lose interest before this part, but I walked in the room in time to see a mom, dad and their kids wearing all that loose fleece while roasting marshmallows over a roaring campfire. It doesn't seem like such a good idea, unless "stop, drop & roll" is printed on the sleeve.

Whenever I see this commercial now, I think "10 points for Gryffindor!"

There are other items like it on Amazon. The Slanket, the Pike Street, and the Cabin Cuddler. They are 100% polyester, talk about melting and flaming.

My husband's grandmother (who is 86 btw) got one of these things for Christmas. However she is having my Mother-in-law hem it for her because it was too long and she was afraid she might trip and fall when walking around in it.

I can see a lawsuit from someone trying to walk around in their Snuggie, tripping, falling a breaking a hip.

I looked there when I wanted to buy it for my mom at Christmas!!!! :mad:

Which is what I got my mom and sister instead (they asked for them and they both love them--my parents house is LOADS warmer now:D).

My DH wants one of these SOOOOOO SOOOOO bad. I laugh everytime the commercial comes on and he looks at me and pleads, "Can I get one? Please?"

I love how the commercial addresses every scenario imaginable. Like when the girl is in her 'drafty dorm room' on top of her bed NOT USING HER BLANKETS.

Or when they talk about getting tangled in normal blankets. That part made me laugh like no other. Who really gets THAT tangled in a blanket while sitting on the couch.

Now I think that is a good idea!!

My husband, kids, and I make fun of this commercial each time it comes on. My husband and I joke how lame those people look in the sporting event clip.

I laugh at the Sham-Wow commercial too. The commercial says it's not sold in stores but it is sold at Bed,Bath, & Beyond here with that guy's picture on the package.

ShamWow Vince creeps my shit out...

So I saw the commercial again the other day...the old guy in the burgundy/red robe looks like he belongs in a moving about wizarding or some RPG thing.

hahaha excellent.

My sister gave everyone in the family a Slanket for Christmas.

Yes, it was a gag gift.

But it IS awfully comfy! ;)

Ok, that's it. I found the solution to "the back is open" problem...

I present to you... the St. Patrick's plaid "Warm-Me Up"!

So I'm heading to the check out at the grocery store last night (Shop n Save for you Pittsburghers), and lo and behold, what did I see but teh SNUGGIE!!! $14.99 with no shipping! I picked up the box - it was LIGHT. It must be made out of the world's cheapest material. I can just see it going up in flames when some old lady is smoking a cig in it.

so... basically a long robe?

Ellen is totally talking about the Snuggie right now on her show. HILARIOUS!

*sighs*

I admit it, I have a "snuggie" but mine is officially called a "slanket". My hubby got it for me because I'm always cold, even wearing a hoodie and pajama pants in the middle of a Florida summer! It's awesome and I love it!!

basically, but this particular long robe is Irish.

I saw "The Snuggie" at Walgreens last night! I was soooo tempted to buy one! :D

It's on Good Morning America
 

:eek:

Um... I went to that website ASTalumna posted and WTFFFF is this???

http://www.findgift.com/cgi-bin/Gift...D22&pid=113125

hahahaha it's like the website of second-hand Christmas gifts!

So this is not quite as "interesting" as the gift PM_Mama00 found, but I gave it a double take. http://www.findgift.com/gift-ideas/pid-52634/

WTH??? It's looks like a Beanie Baby for the face! LOL!!! :D

That's so cute!

...aaaaaaaaaaand look what just came up on my Yahoo! news feed

http://www.usatoday.com/life/lifesty...?se=yahoorefer

I was at a benefit this weekend, and they had something like 250+ themed gift baskets to be raffled off. One of them was a "night in" basket with DVD's, hot chocolate, popcorn, etc., and a SNUGGIE! I'm not going to lie....I wouldn't have been disappointed had I won it.

I was listening to the radio this morning and at about 1 am the inventor of the "slanket" emailed tons of radio and other news people to call them to rally behind him. Apparently, CNN did a report on the Snuggie and used pictures ripped from the Slanket website. He was ticked off about it, said his product was way better quality, and asked all newspeople to tell their listeners about the shoddy reporting from CNN.
Then the radio guy said "all it is is a bathrobe you wear backwards"...that made me LOL, b/c it's what I always say.

It's official. I bought my mom 2 burgundy Snuggies for her birthday (complete with free booklights).

Do you people think I'm joking?

STOP THE INSANITY!

I've got a strong hunch I'm going to be getting one from my husband soon - who thinks I'm such a dork, but thinks it's funny.

(And I'm not scared of you, Rashid - I'm tougher than I look, you know! ;))

The room in which I teach 4 dual credit classes is always FREEZING - we joked about getting Snuggies . . .

My mom wants a Snuggie, and I am NOT succeeding in talking her out of it.

The only good thing is apparently she's too lazy to order one (according to her) so she wants to see if it'll show up at Walgreens or something.
