Snuggies!

Now, for all of you coach potatoes, you know exactly what I am talking about. The blanket with the arms. The blanket that never lets you feel the cold. The blanket that makes you feel "snugly" all the time. THE SNUGGIE! How genius of an idea that is? Whenever I sit down to watch television, I find myself intrigued by a trivial blanket with arms.

Now, of course this sounds like a great idea but is it too hyped? The advertisement claims the snuggie allows you to watch TV in "total warmth and comfort" because of the "ultra-soft, thick, luxurious fleece." Come on! This is a $20 dollar blanket! How could it be so comfortable and so luxurious? Well, you do get "years of warmth and comfort" with this ideal blanket. Now, I do not see how this product could be more romanticised. It is a blanket that you can fit your arms in--a.k.a. a sweater. Is this really that great of a product? Of course not, but the creators of the commercial try to make it seem like an incredible product that will solve all of your issues. The snuggie may seem appealing with its catchy commercial, but if you pay attention to what the advertisement is really saying, the snuggie is not really what it is made out to be. The snuggie is nothing more than a cozy blanket. I do love this commercial, don't get me wrong, but the snuggie is romanticised and it made to look a lot better than it actually is.
