It's a Snug, Snug World After All...

You think it will never happen to your family and friends. You think it only happens to other people, and then you figure out that someone you identify yourself with has purchased a Snuggie!
Yes, a Snuggie, the extra large fleece blanket with sleeves sold at high-end clothing stores such as Walgreens. Wearing a Snuggie is like wearing your robe backwards.
You wonder what went wrong with them. Is their house too cold? Do they not have enough fleece clothing to wear?
Snuggie = Frumpy...why do pretty girls wear Snuggies?!
When you ask someone why they got a Snuggie, their reply may be similar to, "Everyone has them; they're the in thing. They are so useful, it's like wearing a blanket...you never have to come out from underneath the covers."
So? If everyone started wearing Bumpits in their hair, would she do it too?
The funny thing is, when it's 30 degrees outside, these people refuse to wear a coat. Yet, inside a 64 degree room it's "freezing" so they wear the Snuggie.
To say Snuggie lovers have blanket attachment issues is putting it mildly. I will admit, I still sleep with the same blanket that I've had since I was born. So what? Atleast I don't wear it around the house!
It's like a Snuggie Revolution...
-People list the Snuggie as a religion on facebook
-Teens have Snuggie parties
-Colleges have Snuggie costume contests
In my opinion, Snuggies are becoming a big hit with younger people. However, the Snuggie TV commercial often shows middle-aged or older people frustrated and helplessly flopping around trying to get untangled from under a blanket to attempt to answer the phone across the sofa, eat popcorn and hold the TV remote. With the Snuggie, your hands are completely free!
If we as humans were ever meant to be this lethargic, we wouldn't have legs; we would have been designed to roll instead of walk.
The Snuggie is claimed as "perfect for chilly office buildings, sporting events, and cold movie theatres." So, now the Snuggie has the privilege of being able to be worn out in public?! Stacy London and Clinton Kelly would never approve. Soon, instead of Casual Friday we'll have Snuggie Friday.
Yes, we all have the freedom of choice, we can do whatever we want as long as it is legal. And I agree, owning a Snuggie is perfectly legal. However, I will not allow a Snuggie into my house...ever.
