OK, I couldn't resist. The Snuggie for Two? What is the world coming to? I think maneuvering around in a snuggie is not as simple as at looks but adding another person in there with you would prove rather difficult. I don't think this is the world's most functional garment but I'm getting one anyway.
I've come to the point where I've fully accepted that the snuggie has become a big part of pop culture and will go down in history as one of the silliest products ever brought to market. So, for me, it's important to own a mint condition, unopened, original two person blanket with sleeves. This will be my redemption for actually playing with my original Darth Vader action figure in 1978. I was only 10, but how could my parents let me play with a toy that would be worth thousands of dollars 30 years later? What were they thinking?
So I'm going to be prepared because in another 30 years these things are going to be sought after. And it's not going be like Woodstock either. You know everybody over 50 not only claims to remember Woodstock, but they were all actually there. Well, not this time. I don't believe anyone will boast that they owned a snuggie. Even if there is photographic evidence I can already hear people using the "Photoshop Defense."
Yes, when the Snuggie craze, even though it shows no sign of slowing down, goes the way of the Steam Engine, I'm gonna have mine because humanity will be wondering how did these things get so popular. I imagine future scientists and sociologists will try and hypothesize what went wrong with humans during this period and they are gonna need some evidence. So I will have it for them
You won't catch me wearing my Couples Snuggie around the house with my significant other but I'm willing to bet that one day you will see one on display in the Smithsonian. This craze has become far too big to ignore. I won't say that it has changed history or altered the human race somehow, but our fascination with the ridiculous will always be compelling.
I'm sure this two person blanket with sleeves would be fun to have around and people are going to buy them a ton at a time so let me be sure to explain that this is a gigantic blanket with four sleeves and two pockets best used when sitting still on the couch. With two people inside, even getting up during a commercial break will take careful planning and solid communication, but I'm sure people will try it.
I can't wait to see the new commercial and I look forward to all the Jokes and Spoofs which will be made at the expense of Snuggie's idea to bring people closer together. Literally! But, I have to give credit to the person who has gotten the whole world hooked on throw rugs with arm holes.
