Snuggie/Slanket/et al. Showdown
Gizmodo has a funny piece comparing the Snuggie vs. Slanket vs. Freedom Blanket vs. Blankoat vs. wearing your robe backwards. The Slanket comes out the winner, only because the Blankoat costs $330 -- I didn't even know that thing existed.
I also didn't know that the Freedom Blanket was the original product. Would you wear it while eating Freedom Fries, perhaps? Maybe that's why no one's heard of it.
In addition, Gizmodo gives us the final word on wearing your robe backwards. It doesn't work, Smarty McSmartypants, because robes usually end around your knees, where as the beauty of blankets is that they go all the way down to your toes.
I'm just waiting for some crafty DIY types to start making homemade ... well, what would you call this genre of product, blanketwear? My own clumsy solution is to wear a sweater under a blanket if my arms get cold. Call me crazy.
