This Slanket thing is out of control.

Now, let’s be clear here: The Slanket/Snuggie test was not my idea.

Exhibit A: Gizmodo
Jason here did a much more thorough investigation than I ever had any intention of suggesting to my fine testers, J&J. It’s a great review – and the fine folks over at Slanket liked it so much they put it on their homepage. Rock on.

And now people have been sending me things like the following:

• Snuggie Pub Crawl
• Warming to the Cult of the Snuggie
• “Cult” again, but now with more photo gallery…
• Snuggie to the Test
• Snuggish thing for two that makes me die a little inside
• Slanket vs Snuggie Grudge Match
• And on
• And on
• Good Lord, it Tweets

And honestly, I’m kind of mystified. I don’t know why all of this fleece devotion is being sent my way. Did I inadvertently give the impression that I lounge about the house all day swaddled in fleece from head to toe? Do I look cold to you? Would it be an improvement over my usual work attire? What are you all trying to say?

I gotta say, I still don’t get the appeal. But maybe that’s because testers J&J haven’t explained it to me yet.

And also, why is all of this press focused on the Snuggie? The Slanket seems to have been the first on the scene, and the reviews give the Slanket a firm lead. So I’m going to harass the fine Slanket people and see if their fearless leader would be kind enough to answer 7 Questions to run approximately concurrently with the Nutgraf review.
