I reek of Snuggie Tang

[Judge Smails]

Saturday was my wife's birthday and my brother-in-law, Diamond Jim Brady, came over and he and his wife gave my wife the ever so generous gift of a Snuggie. It took everything for my wife to keep a straight face as she unwrapped it. My daughter on the other hand, who's seen the commercial a million times, thought it was the greatest gift since Jesus turned water into wine at the Marriage at Cana.

She spent the better part of Sunday laying on the couch in this thing. While watching football I became aware of a strange and putrid odor in the house. It didn't take long to narrow its source down to the Snuggie. Whatever cheap-ass synthetic material this thing is made of is giving off toxic fumes. Its making me nauseous and I've had a headache since Sunday morning. My wife says she smells it too, but that its not nearly as bad as I'm making it out to be.

So, last night I decided to throw this thing in while I was doing some wash. Unfortunately, it comes out smelling as bad, if not worse, than when it went in. This morning I get in the car and realize I'm still smelling it. My fucking newly washed clothes now smell of Snuggie Tang! I spent the whole day completely self conscious and trying to keep a safe distance from people. My wife still claims its not bad and that I'm exaggerating, but I feel like I'm in a Seinfeld episode.

This fucking Snuggie must die! Unfortunatetly, my daughter is completely attached to it and my wife is not backing me up in the least. Fuck these fucking Snuggies! If there's someone in your life you hate just get them one of these things.

The next time you take the trash to the sidewalk just make sure you throw it in there. When they ask where it is just say you havent seen it. Its simple.

Better keep it around then. I may need to pick up a few of these and store them with my stockpiled ammo, water, and MREs.

[IamFogHat]

Snuggies are not only the worst sham product ever, they also smell?? WTF??

[dino_electropolis]

Hmmmm....washed, and it still smells?

No one else seems to think it smells as bad?

i saw a woman wearing a zebra snuggie at my football game on saturday. the dr i was with embarassed just from seeing one in person.

[biggirl]

i saw the puppy version tonight at the store.

[Judge Smails]

These things seem to be everywhere now. I've seen them in a few different supermarkets and even convenience stores. If someone here has one, or if you see one in a store, just pop the box open (it's not even taped shut or anything - I checked) and take a whiff. Let me know if I'm crazy or not.

The smell is so overpowering to me and gives me a horrible physical reaction as I've mentioned. My wife and daughter, though they say they can smell something "funny", think that I'm just being a pussy.

[Marc with a c]

maybe it's time to shave that goat sir.

[STC-Dub]

I wonder if the Slanket also stinks?

[Judge Smails]

I just got done running it through the wash again, this time by itself. When I went down the the basement, just now, to get it out of the dryer, the whole basement smelled funny. The Snuggie does smell a little better now because I used a ton of detergent, fabric softner, an two Bounce dryer sheets.

Also, I just checked the tag. Besides the cleaning instructions, it says its 100% POLYESTER.

It also states: "SUGGEST TO WASH BEFORE USE".

And, most telling: "MADE IN CHINA".

It's made of poison I tell you! Stay the fuck away from these things!

From Wikipedia:

In late 2008 and early 2009 the "Snuggie" brand of sleeved blankets became a pop culture phenomenon.

The 2009 flu pandemic is a global outbreak of a new strain of influenza A virus subtype H1N1, first identified in April 2009, which is officially termed novel H1N1 and colloquially called swine flu.


Coincidence? I think not.
