I'm a snuggiologist

[Wall-E1]

It's so nice that this thread is liberating us "closet snuggie users" into the light of day. We have been silent for far too long. We should not be ashamed of our Snuggies. If grown people can walk the streets with Crocs, then why can't we proudly wear our Snuggies for all the world to see. A new day is dawning for the Snuggie. I envision a world where people will not be judged by the color of their Snuggie, but by the content of their character. One day, boys with blue Snuggies and girls with pink Snuggies will join hands with adults in leopard skin Snuggies as brothers and sisters of our nation. One day we will be to wear our Snuggies out to the movies or places of employment without fear of persecution by our employers or loved ones. I call on all of you. We must wear our Snuggies and march on Washington D.C. A million of us. Peacefully wearing our different patterned Snuggies. We will all hold up our complimentary book lights to show America and the world the bright, shining light of freedom that comes from wearing the Snuggie. Free at last! Thank Snuggie, we are free at last!

I'm considering a Snuggie, but I'm afraid that if I get one I'll never stand up again. Any advice?

You won't need to stand up ever again. Quit your job and enjoy Oprah for her final season. When vacationing at Disney, simply rent a scooter. You can even attach your complimentary book light to the front basket so as to alert other guests that you and your Snuggie have arrived.

For our 'Dirty Santa' gift exchange, DH bought all 'As Seen on TV' items. His gift consists of a Snuggie, Aquaglobes, and Mighty Mend-It. I think I'm going to get an electric throw for my gift. If they made electric Snuggies, then I'd be all over that!

Me too!! I hate to admit it. I make fun of snuggies, but I secretly want one. I'm always cold in the evenings! An electric snuggie would be heaven.

I will never understand the snuggie phenomenon. It's a backwards robe.

 

[Becky2005]

My DD is asking for one!! I told her relatives who have been asking for lists. I know my oldest DS would like one too, so told them one for him too. I'm not sure about the younger ones & I've not turned to the dark side of the Snuggie (do they come with cookies? I've heard rumors the dark side has cookies? Hmm....)

I absolutely love my snuggie. I have a pink one and it is so incredibly comfortable. I think I will get my mom the cheetah print one for Christmas

Excuse me...

When the wheel was invented, did you say, "It's just a square missing its corners. When ice cubes were invented did you think, "It's just water that got too cold". When Ewoks were invented, did you declare, " It's just dwarves in furry outfits, created for the sole purpose of toy sales".

The "phenomenon" is because the Snuggie is the first great invention of the 21st century. It happens to be a giant leap forward for all mankind. Do you even remember a world before Snuggies? I do. I remember having to keep my blanket drawn below my armpit region if I wished to read a book in bed. And I couldn't see the print very well, as I didn't have my complimentary book light before Snuggies came into being. I remember days long ago when I would wake up in the morning and find my blankets were on the other side of the bed, or worse, had fallen to the floor. That is no longer an issue with the Snuggie. In the past, I would have to coordinate a new outfit each morning. Now, I simply drape my Snugggie over my naked body and head off to work. The combination of the warmth that I get from the front and the open breeziness of my naked backside is absolutely delightful on Spring days.

So, it is not just a backwards bath robe. It is the culmination of thousands of years of human development and ingenuity.

Wall-E1, i have tears pouring out of my eyes after reading your post. That was hilarious.

I too love the Snuggie, and I will not let the constant ridicule of my family make me embarrassed about it. However, I do believe that I have converted my youngest into a Snuggie fan as he recently made me get him a Toy Story Snuggie that was on sale on Toys R Us. My DH and oldest son though are lost causes, and I do not think they will ever see the error of their ways and become Snuggie lovers.

Plus they were free via the free snuggie promotion.

The reviews on Amazon leave a lot to be desired.

I think I'll skip on the Snuggie, and buy an nice throw... maybe two and have a friend of mine sew them together.

Don't buy into those Amazon reviews. They're haters. They complain that it is like a robe, but wide open in the back. They don't understand. Of course it is wide open in the back. It is a BLANKET. Blankets do not close in the back. They complain of the wide sleeves. Me personally, the sleeves give me this feeling like I'm a well respected cult leader. They complain of the thinness. I will admit that it is not a goose down comforter you are wearing, but it definitely is a soft fleece that keeps the draft out. So, I would reconsider. If you are worried about any potentially harmful side effects, then get one for your daughter first. That's what kids are for. Trust me when I tell you this. Your life will be transformed in ways you could not imagine. In the immortal words of Pedro - "All of your wildest dreams will come true".

Notice how the dog can still use her paws for the remote.

She doesn't seem to be using the book light though.

A brief timeline of historical events and the Snuggie.

.65 billion years ago - Ancient life forms begin to emerge from the sea and develop into land dwelling, multicellular organisms, creating an immediate need for the Snuggie.

65 million years ago - Mass extinction of dinosaurs due to asteroid impact and resulting frigid aftermath. Snuggies could have saved many of the dinosaurs from the frigid cold, but alas, they had not been invented yet.

1.8 million years ago - Ice age grips world and many large mammals become extinct, again due to the lack of Snuggies during this time period.

130,000 years ago - Neanderthals develop the first prototype of the Snuggie, made from the pelts of mammoths. Unfortunately, as mammoths decreased in numbers, so did their Snuggie making abilities, resulting in their downfall.

1,500 years ago - Rome falls as a result of a fashion mistake. The "got to be seen in" clothing of the day is the toga, not the Snuggie. This is seen as a weakness by their enemies who attack and destroy this ancient civilization.

600 years ago - The Renaissance occurs and a small start up company starts selling the Snuggie under the "As Seen On T.V." banner. As t.v. has not yet been invented, there is confusion and the product does not catch on.

550 years ago - The modern book is invented in direct response to the Snuggie's complimentary book light, which is included in every box.

400 years ago - The pilgrims sail from England to escape Snuggie persecution and land at Plymouth, Massachusetts. Thanksgiving is invented as a way of sharing Snuggies with other cultures.

225 years ago - Colonists fight for independence from England for their unfair taxes on Snuggies.

100 years ago - Titanic sinks. There were not enough Snuggies for all passengers on board the ship. As a result of this disaster, all ships are now required to have enough Snuggies for all passengers.

50 years ago - Civil rights movement occurs when ordinary Americans decide to end segregation and allow Snuggies of all different colors to be created equal under the laws of our nation.

Present Day - Dogs and cats of the world rejoice. Snuggies have finally been developed for all breeds.

She does like to stay warm while she eats her breakfast in the mornings, and it's kind of hard to eat with her current favorite blankie.

LOL - I love this thread - My15 year old son is getting an Iowa Haweyes Snuggie from grandma for Christmas. I'll have to try it out after he gets it and see if it will bring me over to the snuggie side
