Try as I might to beat this topic to death, it refuses to die. So here’s just one last mention… and this time, I mean it.
The Snuggie’s 15 minutes of fame are starting to seem more like 15 years, but somehow the novelty has yet to wear off on many Americans. And if you’re still a fan, Cleveland is the place to be.
Guinness World Records is sending an adjudicator to Quicken Loans Arena to bestow the honour of “Largest Gathering of People Wearing Fleece Blankets” when the Cleveland Cavaliers tip off against the Detroit Pistons on March 5. Each of the 20,000+ fans in attendance will be given a free burgundy Snuggie emblazoned with the logo of their home team and promotion sponsor KeyBank, and will be required to drape themselves in the snuggly goodness for the first 5 minutes of the game.
Word on the street is that the folks at Snuggie even custom-made gigantic Snuggies for the NBA players themselves, though I wouldn’t count on LeBron and co. to help pad the Guinness stats - official NBA uniform supplier Adidas likely wouldn’t be so fond of the switch.
Which is too bad, ladies, because you may recall that the Snuggies are backless…
Official "Cavs Snuggie Night" spokesperson - Justin Guarini?! (from sports.yahoo.com)
The sheen of the Snuggies in question suggest a more luxurious fabric than fleece - velour perhaps? George Costanza would be proud.
No word on the current record, though I suspect it might be 1 (unless you count your dog).
Because friends don’t let friends wear Snuggies in the presence of other human beings.
