THE HISTORY
Alot has been said about the Snuggie - what it is and what it ain't. But we're here (Alc and Damie) to set the record straight. The idea of a Snuggie has been around nearly 50 years by some accounts.
www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1870762,00.html?imw=Y
Some say they were originated with the Gregorian Monks.
Whatever the case maybe - there came a time when people - chilled by sub freezing temperature sought to form a bond - a warm snuggly bond. It was said that the first Snugg-rority were the Slankets founded in 1998
www.theslanket.com/index.php?path=our_story
The first initiates blossomed on campuses, home games, and away games. The next initiates were dissatisfied with the progress of the Slankets. They wanted to change the name and the look. When graduate members of the Slankets found out they gave the rebels an ultimatum - cease and desist or face expulsion. No one knows whether they were kicked out or whether they left... but we know today that they went on to form the Snuggies.
THE EXPANSION
Since that time their influence has been wide spread particularly in pop culture. What was supposed to be Snuggies brief guest appearance in a movie, turned into a break-through performance in Eyes Wide Shut
Eyes Wide Shut
they also went on to Oscar Nomination starring in the Star Wars Series. This was a paricularly difficult role for the Snuggie having to perform backwards and yet stay in character.
GROWING PAINS
There were also peaks in valleys in the Snuggie history. Dark were the years when the Snuggie became a symbol not of warmth and comfort, but of intolerance and hate.
Membership suffered for years due to this Public Relations fiasco - but the Snuggies fought to take back their image as an all-inclusive blanket.
RESURGENCE
In time Snuggie was able to make a comeback - becoming a virtual Pop Icon legend - that everyone wore - whether as characters
or at leisure.
From the oldest of us - to the youngest of us. Snuggie was back - getting it in with the people. Today Snuggie serves over 1.5 million homes and counts more than 3,000,000 reverse terry cloth robes as members. Snuggie has a rich heritage and a history which anyone would want to be a part of.

There's 1 fatal flaw Damie left out in the history of the Snuggie, Snuggies have been around for centuries and they will continue to stay around. But even as a child everybody has been touched by the holiday spirit the Snuggie brings---- with every passing year every little e-boy & e-girl on OOA is visited by the one and only "E - Snuggie-Claus"  As he creeps down the chimney to deliver he's gift-wrapped box's of "book lights" to all the good little e-boy's & e-girl's. One such as himself could only wish he had some sort of comfort that would allow him to make all his trips and stay warm at the same time. But what separates him from everybody else with a Snuggie is that his is two-toned (disclaimer)----this is not LOGAKAL---this is her son |
