On the Fourth Day of Christmas

my true love gave to me
four Snuggie knockoffs! 
Me: We look goooooood!
Brian:
What? I can't hear you over my embarrassment.
Penny:
ZZZzzzzzzz
I know, I know. You didn't think the Snuggie could be topped, did you? It's a BLANKET with SLEEVES, y'all. What could be better than that? Well I'm not sure, but these four manufacturers gave it a try. 

#1. The Double Slanket (see above). What couple DOESN'T need a giant blanket with two sets of sleeves to make it easier to feed each other chocolate covered strawberries (or more likely in this apartment, pounds and pounds of chips & dip) whilst staying super toasty warm?!? Take it from someone who is always cold and spends the majority of life under quilts of various sorts, I can't imagine anything more romantic in the whole world than the Double Slanket.*

#2. The Thuggie.
For those that are too street and/or hood and/or gangsta for the original Snuggie. Sponsored by the Fresh Prince of Bel Air.** My favorite thing about the Thuggie is that the website describes it as a "pants optional" garment. My second favorite thing is that they make mini versions called "Thuglettes" which are tiny and adorable:
#3. The Musuc Bag.

I don't know what "musuc" is supposed to describe, but possibly it is trying to market this to those who live in subartic Russia? I can't imagine wearing a jumpsuit-slash-sleeping bag, but I assume it's pretty warm. And comfy. And bonus! In the Musac Bag, you don't look like you belong in a full Baptist choir. Yay!***

#4. The Snuggie for Dogs.

Okay, so this is technically an actual Snuggie, not a knockoff. But its still absurd. The whole idea behind the Snuggie is that you can wear it to stay warm but also use your hands. DOGS ALREADY HAVE COATS. DOGS DON'T HAVE HANDS. DOGS DON'T NEED SNUGGIES.**** Really, these are just fleece t-shirts and/or capes and will cause your canine to be mocked by all the others at the dogpark. Don't make your pup be "that dog."

Also, I just have to add, the wikipedia page for "sleeved blanket" is hiLARious and insightful.

...three Ed Hardy hookahs
two handerpants
and an ornament of yummy sushi

* I can.
** It's not, but it should be.
*** That doesn't mean you look good, however. 
**** Snuggles, maybe. But that's a different post altogether.

P.s. Shoutout to Rachel Brooks for first introducing me to the Thuggie!

  1. Your photoshot skills are absurd and is it sad that I want to own all of these things (especially the sleeping bag one! Could I wear that to work?)
