It’s time to burrow down for a few Snuggie tales during this winter spell.
Snuggie has literally blanketed the country, selling millions of units since rolling into the market a couple of years back.
When it comes to the not-so-fashion-conscious sleeved blanket, you either love or loathe the Snuggie.
I give Snuggie the two sleeves up rating. I own one, have contemplated buying another and have given about six as gifts to appreciative recipients.
However, many people I know are wet blankets when it comes to Snuggies.
Some critics tell me it resembles a choir robe worn backwards. But many sing its praises for comforting warmth.
Others liken it to a flying squirrel look. Yep, people are nutty about their Snuggies.
They are becoming acceptable attire in bars during annual events known as Snuggie pub crawls. Dallas is hosting its second annual pub crawl Feb. 5-6 with 411 indicating they will attend, according to Facebook.
There’s even a Website and news coverage devoted to Snuggie pub crawls.
Seems some sporting their Snuggies in the bar scene aren’t content with animal print, ball team, peace, camo, cloud and myriad other themes.
People have reportedly bedazzled their Snuggies or donned them with flashing Mardi Gras beads when stepping out on the town.
Before learning of Snuggie pub crawls in various U.S. cities, there had been some discussion among some of my colleagues about going out for drinks and dinner in our Snuggies. Hey, let’s have a bi-city Snuggie pub crawl.
I have to come out from under the covers and admit I’ve already worn my Snuggie in public once—but not as its manufacturer intended.
Last fall during a trip to cooler climes, I modified my Snuggie to make it a shawl, much to my husband’s chagrin.
He was worried what others would think. I told him I didn’t care and I might even give others innovation and inspiration about making the Snuggie versatile.
I’ve even used my Snuggie as an oversized napkin. If you try this at home, or anywhere else, please don’t reach your arm over a drink or dipping sauces.
Despite Snuggies being marketed specifically for pets, one of my cats likes to share my Snuggie because of the body heat exchange factor.
Admittedly, Snuggie has some cheesy commercials. They remind me of those 70s commercial for Mr. Microphone. I probably channel the 70s with Snuggies marketing because of the “Get Up and Snuggie” song, which was originally “Get Up and Boogie.”
While the Snuggie has a practical use, this particular commercial does not exhibit that.
Who really wears their Snuggie while standing up, or even while pumping their arms and fists as the commercial depicts? Well, that probably occurs at the pub crawls.
There’re even Snuggie commercial spoofs found on the Internet.
But ideally, Snuggie is an item designed to be worn while sitting, reclining or lying down.
To bridge the bare back the Snuggie creates, some have suggested customizing it with snaps in the back or Velcro to achieve a full, 360 blanket coverage.
Snuggie had a forerunner named the Slanket. Yes, it is dubbed as the original blanket with sleeves but Snuggie appears more popular.
I own a Slanket as well. My Slanket has pockets for hands and feet but I still swaddle in my Snuggie more often.
I’ve had one person suggest that this Snuggie sensation is simply out of hand.
This person believes Snuggies should have straps and buckles to resemble a straight jacket.
If you wear a Snuggie, you’re crazy, this person contends.
Even if my enthusiasm for my Snuggie makes me crazy by some people’s standards, I’m fully covered and not splitting with my Snuggie blanket.
