Snuggie Blanket Captures National Attention

Back to blog

Sh*t

notice how none of the pictures show the back? Thats because there isnt one.

Its literally a blanket with sleeves and it keeps fallingoff as there is no back to it.

Waste of money

snuggie

could you put a picture of the snuggie on your page instead of a picture of the slanket? the reason i car is that the slanket is a much higher quality product and I am the person in the photo. you should not be using this picture... do some research next time

SNUGGIES

Per a TV ad, I ordered 2 Snuggies (second one free) on December 1, for Xmas presents. I approved an upgrade for $5 each, so the total cost should have been about $30-$35. The goods arrived on Dec. 23, too late for Xmas and the bill was $91.70. It's impossible to find a telephone or email contact with the outfit, and I'm not confident in sending the unopened package back to the shipping address. My credit charge company is trying to help. I hope the outfit gets properly chastised and the displeased customers get satisfaction.

Snuggie rip off

WHEN I RECEIVED THE TWO SNUGGIES, I EXPECTED A ROBE. WHAT I GOT WAS TWO SLEEVES CONECTED WITH THE BACK. NO SIDES AND NO FRONT AND DEFINATELY, NO ROBE.

Run from these crooks! PLease

We ordered the Buy One get one free for $20 plus shipping in October. Never received anything until I noticed a charge on my debit card for $85.10 from GPM*MERCHANDISE DIRECT.

yep 85.10!!!!

The bank luckily reversed the charges because of them doing the same thing to others as noted on ripoffreport.com. Then we get another charge for $55.80 from GPM*SNUGGIE last week.

I had to cancel my credit card and have another one reissued.

BTW, we've never received anything from them!!

Run from these crooks!

Snuggies = Hope For America

The snuggie has given America a chance for hope. Somehow people think its Obama... but I think they just saw him with a snuggie on and got confused.

This pretty much sums it up

It's just a robe put on backwards!

I'm sorry but maybe I'm missing something. This just looks like a very cushy robe but you put it on backwards! I suppose while you are sitting down this product may be OK but as soon as you stand up, it's like a hospital gown; your butt hangs out! Instead of wearing it backward, why not turn it around and close it with a belt. Wouldn't that be more practical? Not only would your front be warm but your back would too and you'd still be able to use your hands to reach the phone. It's all about marketing and the (I believe) PT Barnum quote, "There's a sucker born every minute!"

Get Real

How stupid. Don't these people have anyting better on which to spend their money? What's wrogn with a normal blanket...or a normal sweater?

If you are looking for something better to do with your time (other than worrying about silly fashion warmth), check out http://www.Hoxic.Com and then go enlist in the US Army. Oh, don't go to that site after lunch and it's definitely not suitable for children.
