Snuggies!

With America being in a what people might call a recession there has been big news about how the Super Bowl has not sold all of it's commercial spots, and how the pre-game and post game parties are not going to be extravagantly over done. It seems that everyone is trying to be a smart consumer and focus on the necessities, but for your last ridiculous purchase you need to buy a snuggie, right?

Snuggies are like over sized blankets with sleeves and they are made of fleece. According to USA Today there have been 4 million snuggies sold to date. Many of you have probably seen their over the top television ads of people petting their snuggies like it is the best thing on earth. Well I'm not buying it, even if it is the best thing on the market since the pet rock. If people get cold sitting at their house or going to an outdoor event why not put on a sweatshirt or coat? Why not sit at home with a blanket wrapped around you? Is it that innovative to have a blanket that contains sleeves?



I am embarrassed that I am giving them free advertising right now because it is so ridiculous. I recommend that if people want to save money during these hard times they should not buy a snuggie and kick it old school with long sleeves and a blanket. As Peter Griffin would say, "That really grinds my gears!"
