The snuggie on 'roids?

Ahh, remember when you were a kid and you had the footie pj's? The ones that zipped up the front, had the non slip soles and when you got too big for them you cut the feet off so you could keep wearing it?

Are you sad you had to give them up and nothing keeps you warm the same way? Did you try the snuggie but found the back-draft too chilly?

Well have I got an offer for you! The Hoodie-Footie. This clever little product HAS TO BE A JOKE. However, I don't think it is despite the laughter it caused.

Please enjoy the hilarity - and if you dare to purchase one - invite me over.

The 80's sure were funny...

We laugh now at the crazy 80's: the fitness craze (Let's get physical anyone?), teen wolf, side ponies that were crimped and in a hot pink, acid washed scrunchies... oh, the list goes on.

Have you stopped and asked yourself: what will we laugh at asking ourselves "seriously?" tomorrow? How about: Leggings and Ugg boots, or sunglasses worn by Kanye West... or the Snuggie!

The Snuggie is an incredibly unassuming successful product. It is essentially a housecoat/bathrobe on backwards. Yet, it's been wildly successful, check out the ad:



Do you want one? You probably laughed at the ridiculous situations. But is that why is was so successful - because it was so ridiculous? The internet and specifically things like youtube, have given consumers a forum to parody this product - which in turn has actually made it more successful. As the internet evolves and developes, the way products are made successful will also change, evolve and adapt. I can't wait to Snuggie 2.0.

So why didn't this gem from the 80's take off? Maybe all it needed was a good parody and social forum..... please, enjoy - I did.
