Blogging From A to Z Challenge: Useless Objects I Wish I'd Invented (AKA The Snuggie Rant)

Labels:

Sorry, it's a day late. I got busy and forgot about writing my U post for the Blogging From A to Z Challenge. So here it is.

Useless Objects I Wish I'd Invented

You know the ones I'm talking about. Those stupid informercial products. Like Snuggies. There's the Original Snuggie, Couple Snuggie, Dog Snuggie (does Snuggie hate cats?), Football Team Snuggie, Kid Snuggie, Leopard Print Snuggie (so sexy Rawr), Baseball Team Snuggie, Designer Snuggie (available in monkey print, cloud print or for the really hardcore: skull and crossbones print!). And for God's sake, there's even a Harry Potter Snuggie. Even I wouldn't be caught dead in that. What the hell is wrong with these people? Who invented this damn thing? It was meant to be a joke right? Please, please tell me it was.

And don't forget the imitation Snuggies. There's the Slanket! And the nightmare called the Peekaru. This is how the aliens will invade, I promise you. And the Forever Lazy which comes with a convenient butt flap (butt flap photo source). And Pajama Jeans. Why couldn't I come up with this shit? I'd be a freaking bazillionaire.

    1. After being horrified initially by the Peekaru I now find that I want one to carry my cocker spaniel around in. And after spending hours looking at all the Snuggies available I feel a need for one... They're brainwashing us!

  2. The forever lazy thing turns my stomach honestly. If you're that lazy that you can't be bothered to pull your pants down there's just no hope. YUCK! My personal jury is out on the Snuggie's. My stepmom has one and seems to like it okay. Me...I would just as soon put on a robe or a blanket.

    1. I have a few crochet blankets flopped around and several crochet shawls and wraps so I don't have any need for the Snuggie. I've never had a problem figuring out how to get my hands out from under the blanket like they show in the commercials. I can see the need for the butt flap in the Forever Lazy; I had something similar that didn't have a flap and wore it as pajamas. The flap woulda been nice.
