Snug-tastic!


Ever since the Snuggie was brought to the eye of the general public there has been nothing but criticism, criticism, and criticism! What’s wrong with a blanket with sleeves? Nothing. It is an ingenious idea is what it is. The sleeves on a Snuggie keep your arms warm when you are munching on something or simply writing in a journal. Sure, jackets have sleeves, but they do not keep your entire body warm, nor do they give you a good laugh. Usually, if you want to read a book with a blanket there are always two problems: 1) The blanket wraps around behind your back leaving your front cold, 2) Your blanket is wrapped in the front, but your hands have to stay outside in order to hold the book, which makes them cold. The only flaw with the Snuggie is that it is slightly too large and thin. No doubt if more celebrities promoted the Snuggie and owned a few themselves, more people would purchase them. It goes to show that the public is very biased towards products when it comes to critiques from famous icons. But, why does it matter? People should not have these prejudices against a product just because the media advises them not to get it. Consumers should be the ones making the judgment because ultimately, they are going to be the coming home with the product. The Snuggie is simply an overgrown blanket with sleeves. It is something to enjoy a hot cup of cocoa with while keeping your arms toasty.
