We aren’t going to tell you that the Snuggie is stupid. We know that some people love their Snuggies. We will tell you that variations on the Snuggie (such as the Japanese snuggie) and Snuggies for certain household members (like your pets) make their way into the stupid category.

And we’ll tell you why the Slanket is stupid:

• It’s got a terrible name. A Snuggie sounds nice and comfortable and cozy. You want to cuddle up inside of your Snuggie. That’s some good branding. A slanket, on the other hand, sounds creepy. It sounds snake-like. It doesn’t sound cozy. Sure, the name comes from the product being a blanket with sleeves but it’s just a bad name for the product.
• Mommy made it. The guy who made the Slanket didn’t even make it himself. He got the idea for it and then asked his mommy to make it. And he seems to be proud of the fact! He didn’t decide to market them on his own either. He was busy channel surfing and basically being a bum. His brother had to tell him that selling it was a good idea.
• It is a lot more expensive than a Snuggie. Supposedly this is because it’s bigger and comes in more colors and is a softer item. Whatever. That doesn’t make it worth the much higher price tag that comes on it.
• It has a foot pocket. This is supposed to make the Slanket better than the Snuggie. Really – do you really want a foot pocket?

If you must have one of these items, the Snuggie seems like the way to go. On the plus side, however, the Slanket does fit more than one person underneath it comfortably.
