Oh my gosh, I forgot that "What's the Hype?" is the title of your blog. Ok, so let me rephrase that and say, it's kind of like a gadget that people like to collect. Then when they use it they can tell someone how "wonderful" it is. But if you're that cold, why not just buy an electric blanket to cover up with while you watch tv?

As far as I can tell, Snuggie is the worst brand but they've marketed better than the others. I found this review several months ago and agreed 100% with it:

They have to keep making things a little different to convince you that you need it and to get more money out of you. :0)

LOL Brian, I loved the comment that said, "It's the easiest way to look like you belong to a modern millenial cult without actually joining one." :D

I'm glad you liked the comments. Unfortunately, I goofed and didn't even send the link to the full article/review of the several products available. Here's the actual review:

Clickable links are better.

Delirious, I am extremely sorry to have wrongly addressed you as Marianna in my comment. A momentary confusion with some unexpected disturbance at my end. If possible, kindly edit it. Thank you.
