Snuggie Part II

by Jill Wagner

 

There are few things I like more than coming into work and seeing a present waiting for me on my desk.  And today, that was the very way I was welcomed to the station.  News 12 Long Island's Consumer Reporter and my next door cubicle buddy, Andrew Ehinger, surprised me with a brand new royal blue Snuggie.  After my last blog post about the "blanket with sleeves," Andrew happened to spot one at Bed Bath and Beyond and decided it was time I had one. 

 

So, you might be wondering--is the Snuggie all it's cracked up to be? I can tell you---it is pretty snuggly and soft!  And the sleeves are rather convenient, especially for typing on the computer and watching the news.  Sure, almost everyone who passed by my desk stopped, looked, and laughed, but at least I was warm!

 

 

 

 

The new Snuggie commercial:

"Perfect for reporters on a deadline!"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And then Andrew and I discovered the blanket/sweater market is surprisingly saturated. 

Consider this, in addition to the Snuggie, there's also the Slanket and the Nuddle.  Who knew?  Even more shocking, the Nuddle actually sells for 110 dollars and is recommended by celebs like Deborah Messing and Angie Harmon.  Take a look:  http://www.nuddleblanket.com/

 

Hmmmm...  Maybe if the powers-that-be at Snuggie see these pictures, they'll ask for my endorsement!

Too long after the fact, so nobody may ever read it, but I found this:

I think that ups the ante a bit.

I love the Snuggie propaganda posters on the cubicle wall. Very "Stalin meets Madison Avenue."

A hundred bucks for one of these things? I'm going to have to get into this market!
