Who's Bought a Snuggie?

I have suffered in silence long enough and I just have to ask, what is with the Snuggie? I recently visited a high-end retailer that shall remain nameless (for fear that they might cut off my 20% off coupons) and there it was, a tower of Snuggies surrounded by twinkly lights and other holiday knickknacks. My son Maxwell saw the pyramid of Snuggies and said, “Those are so cool Mom. Maybe you should get that for Dad for Christmas.” Even my son has gone to the dark side.

I mean, really, it’s a blanket /glorified robe. Who is buying this stuff? The low budget commercials alone are enough to push me over the edge. Is any self respecting Giant fan really showing up at the Meadowlands wearing this? They now even have one for Rover. I admit, I am no arbiter of the next big thing but can my trend meter be this far off. Help me to understand. If anyone has bought a Snuggie, tell me why!
