Where is the Snuggie?




With the weather turning colder, it should be Snuggie season.  But I haven't seen any around.  and I go to a LOT of bars and football games.

What, are they out of vogue now?  Snuggie-mania was sweeping the nation just two years ago!  and what about all those investors?  There must be chaos on Wall Street.

Why would people get tired of the Snuggie?  It's not a case like VCRs or religion where you upgrade and move ahead, it's a blanket!  With sleeves!  What, you're not cold anymore?  Did those dorm rooms become less drafty all of a sudden?

So it must be a fashion thing.  No one wants to be SEEN wearing a Snuggie.  Why?  Because it looks ridiculous?  IT LOOKED RIDICULOUS TWO YEARS AGO.  and nobody cared.

Some other ridiculous things people have worn:

- Parachute pants

- Flip-down shades

- Bow ties

- Overalls

- Galoshes

- Windbreakers

- Doo rags

- Corduroy

- Paper trainee hats

- Smoking jackets

- Poodle skirts (WHY A POODLE?)

- Curlers (in the hair)

- Adult diapers

- Medallions

- Scarves (on the head)

- Big barrels with suspenders

- Capes

- Fanny packs

- Underoos

- Crowns


So I guess once again time has moved on and the Snuggie will soon be a footnote from a forgotten era.  They should put one in the Smithsonian right next to Fonzie's jacket.

...and Daisy Duke's shorts.

...and Twiggy's skeleton.
