If you find blankets to be such a challenge you needed the Snuggie, well, we have some good news for you. This summer you can stick your arms through a whole new sheet of fabric! Behold, the Wearable Towel. Hm, couldn’t the marketing geniuses behind this have come up with a snazzier name for it like say, the Toweldactyl or the Toggie? Well, perhaps they’ve already burned out all their brain cells making this totally hilarious infomercial.
(And if the Wearable Towel doesn’t do it for you—and you happen to be both a Snuggie and a Weezer fan—you can get your hands on a Wuggie. “A Wuggie is basically exactly like a Snuggie, except it says Weezer on it,” Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo told Rolling Stone. “The people at Snuggie are doing it with us and promoting it with us. It’s a totally legit Snuggie.”—[Rolling Stone])

Hilarious infomercial. Basically, they’ve made a sleeveless hospital gown out of terry cloth. If I walked into a party where everyone was wearing one of these, I’d think I was about to be indoctrinated into a cult.

Thank god it’s got that barf-catcher in the front. Are they going to throw in Sham-Wow bando-bra and undies, too? Then I can roll around on my washed car. Wow. 2 styles in 1? Like that one-size-fits-all BS for both: Trapeze for her and Toga for him… cuz it can’t wrap around enough for men.
Simcha, haha. Yes, “Toggie!”
Annika, I was thinking the same thing. What we must look like from space—a cult of infomercial worshipers making offerings of gold to brilliant local con artists from here, for goods made elsewhere.

I totally just ordered* 2 of these 1 blue and 1 white. This is freaking awesome. Now i can fit into the parties with all my other friends who wear togas! My life is complete now ! The only thing that could make it better is if it was sold with Billy Mayes as the spokesman.
* Ment to be comedic and not to be taken seriously

Actually this has one great use - when you live in a dorm where the only showers are down the hall. This way you can dry off and wear your towel while carrying back all the rest of your shower crap.

Am I the only one who hoped that pool/hot tub scene would turn into an orgy? LMAO
