There have now been enough "Snuggies" sold for 1 out of 12 Americans to own one.

I haven't taken the "Snuggie" plunge yet. You?:pop:

That is totally uncalled for.

We made our own fleece blankets by getting two different pieces of fleece and putting one on top the other. You then cut out around a 4'' square of material on all four corners and then make 3-4'' cuts every inch or so all the way around the blanket. Then you start tying them together until you have a nice blanket.

I bet the wife made a dozen of these this year. You can also leave a corner or two undone and take them to have a name/date/saying stitched in and then tie them off to personalize them for really nice presents.

Got one like that for Christmas two years ago. Covered with old Cadillacs though.

We did one for my Son in the Rams Theme and had "BRADFORD #8" Embroidered on one of the corners. Sam is his hero.

I don't own one, but I bought one for each of my three step siblings last year.

I have a robe, if I want a Snuggie, I just wear it backwards. Seriously though, people are so dumb. It is A ROBE YOU WEAR BACKWARDS!

I have a blanket with a pocket for my feet. It's better than a Snuggie IMO.

If you own a Snuggie just go ahead and tear up your man card

It's really amazing that whoever came up with the simple idea of cutting some holes in a blanket has likely made millions of dollars as a result.

And LMAO I just noticed that snuggie says "heart-hustle-hardwood" on it. Ah, the good ol' days.
