The Slanket Siamese: The Blanket Built for Two
Dear Snuggie, you fought off our winter chills and freed up our hands to TV surf or read, but what do you say to cozy couch time with our sweetie pies or our fights over the blanket? Enter in the Slanket Siamese! And we thought the Snuggie looked ridiculous! Here is a slanket for two. That's right, two sets of arm holes and a conjoined blanket. C'mon you knew it was just a matter of time! I swear the names for these things just get funnier and funnier. This thing is huge: 120"W x 95"L. You could wrap up the entire New Orleans Saints starting line-up and probably still have room! It's available in 2 colors (ruby red and blue) and right now, it's on sale for $40.99 (regularly $44.99).
If you own a Snuggie or Slanket, you know they are super staticky. That's my only pet peeve with mine. There I said it, I own one. That aside, I'm cringing at the thought of the electric shocks from this Siamese Slanket. I can already hear the "ugh, honeys!" and "owws!" I did check on this product last week and it was sold out on the slanket site, so people ARE buying them. If you want one, they are back in stock now. Now, I ask, would you buy one? Tell me your thoughts on this snuggling device or the blanket phenomenon. What do you think is coming next? Oh man, that could be a scary thought!

And just for fun, check this out. On March 6, Cleveland set a Guinness World Record for the largest gathering of people wearing Snuggies! It was at the Cavaliers and Detroit Pistons game on Friday, March 5, 2010.
Ladies, we need your confession! What do your men REALLY think about your fashion statements?

Why would anyone buy this piece of crap? The snuggie is the stupidest idea ever marketed on television (with the possible exception of the war on terror), and this monstrosity is just twice as much tacky, bawdy, consumerist trash.

That's why the person who invented it has money coming out of their behind and you don't. As far as the war on terror you are probally one of those people that think that we blew up our own towers.

I think the snuggie is a great idea and wish I was making that cash. It is the best way to make money get an item that is cheap to produce and sell it at a nice profit. The American dream.
You will never see the war on terror being won. That would only be noticed if we did nothing about it, and had another 911. Then you would be one of those people saying, why didn't the government do something about terror. To do nothing would be worse then doing something and not seeing obvious results.

A Snuggie is just a robe worn backwards. How stupid is that?

I work part time in retail. It's amazing the stuff people will pay for, and the Snuggie is just one of them. Of course, I still remember Pet Rocks. Once at an auction, people were outbidding each other over plastic tubs, like Tupperware type of stuff. While they totally ingnored the really good items like antiques and a cash register that I picked up for only $60.
replyThat register normally sold for $1500, I guess some peoples taste is really in their mouths....lol

I bought a snuggie over the Christmas break because my apartment was freezing all the time...even with the heat turned up. It was nice. I could sit on the couch and work on my computer without being cold. I had been using a quilt and the snuggie was definitely warmer. I was teased about my purchase by a friend so for her birthday I purchased the siamese slanket just for fun. Her house was always cold too so I told her I was doing her a favor by buying the double one. I think we used it once. It is HUGE! and the material is thicker than the snuggie material. I don't think much actual snuggling could be done under it without it being kicked off. Definitely too hot for that! It can be used as an extra blanket on a king sized bed if necessary though. Again...it's HUGE!!!

I do own a snuggie (gift) and I do like it. It is very warm and is big enough to actually cover feet and body if you stretch out. This item would defeat the purpose. If you wanted to stand up or move around the room your partner would have to move too. I think most people kinda half sit/lay on the couch and it probably is not ample enough to allow laying feet to feet. I will keep my snuggie and my husband likes his heavy afghan.

just put on some extra clothes, the snuggie is a novelty or fad, like the crocs they will go away

Except crocs didnt go away. They are still in full force. I love my snuggie. I doubt i would buy this double one because to me it just seems like you could snuggle under a normal blanket but still.

I bought a Snuggie for a Bunco prize and when my husband came home and saw it on our kitchen table he said, "WTF??? You bought a SNUGGIE???" I told him it was a Bunco prize and he said, "Thank God! I thought our marriage was over".

I remember when that young college guy first showcased his invention the "Slanket" on one of the home shopping channels.
replyAnd even though I've always hated the stupid name (slanket?? c'mon...)
I can't help wonder how much $$$$ this kid wound up making from his invention.

Too Thin!! No freedom to get up and down as sleeve holes are in the way. It just hangs if sitting up. Sort off flimsy.

I have a major problem with the name of the product
replySlanket Siamese
This brings back a term which is very unsavory, Siamese Twins. We don't even call them Siamese Twins any more, we call them COJOINED twins.
Regardless, this name will have to be changed in order to prevent potential lawsuits.
I suggest "Snuggie for 2"
