Get A Sweater

While at the gym this evening, an advertisement for the product I dislike the most popped up on one of the televisions.  Thankfully, I was enjoying tunes from my ipod, so I only saw the evil, but didn’t have to hear it.

The first time I saw a commercial for these things, I couldn’t stop rolling my eyes.

If that wasn’t bad enough, they have gotten even more tacky… I mean more “stylish”. Like you’re going to really want to wear this around town when you run your errands.

I know, you’re thinking, “what about my dog?” 

You’ll be happy to know that even dear fluffy can reach a new level of embarrassment. 

However, is this Snuggie really the first time someone has come up with a product that keeps a person warm and allows him or her to be active around the house? 

Nope. I believe the bathrobe has been keeping folks warm dating back to at least the 18th century. That’s why the other name for it is “housecoat.”  Gee, what a novel idea.

Personally, I prefer something else with sleeves. It’s called a sweater. I can actually go out in public wearing one of those.

  4. I saw those at a grocery store last night and did a double-take. If I want to look like Zha Zha Gabor, I’ll spend more money.

  5. I find them oddly weirdly appealing. Stupid, of course, and I would never buy one, but kind of like a car accident with injuries, I can’t look away!
