Snuggies.

If you saw me now, you would probably laugh. You would tell me I'm weird and on the verge of social destruction. But you're just jealous. You see, I'm in my Snuggie happily typing away as my arms and body are nice and warm. You think they are useless and no different than a large blanket, but the maker of these blue delights are laughing all the way to the bank.
A blanket with sleeves...It's one of those things that is SO simple, yet I did not think of it. I want the next big idea to be mine and I want it to spread fast and sell cheap and make me rich and YOU happy. Is that too much to ask for? I think not. I wonder what the pitch meeting was like with the person who invented the Snuggie. (Actually, I believe that the "Slanket" was the first blanket with sleeves, and the Snuggie company was the first to mass-market it and sell it for cheap). I wonder if the people at that first initial meeting own one of their own now, or do they laugh at those who are brave enough to admit they have one? And I also want to know why people think it's so weird to own one. I mean, I don't judge you for owning a pair of "toe socks." Well, I sort of do, but that's beside the point.
Let people own their slankets and snuggies. Let them own the original blue one or the new ones supporting their favorite sports team. Yes, we know they are just large blankets with holes, but it makes sense to us and we like it. I don't wear it out in public like a sweater, I just use it occassionally in the comfort of my own room.
I now feel somewhat ridiculous for even voicing this opinion, but I have had too many conversations about the Snuggie. You would be surprised how often it comes up...I think it's the abundance of commercials. Anyways, I'm very warm now and this entire time I have had full use of my hands. Admit it...you want one. And if you already own one...stop lying about it.
