The Snuggie in burgundy
The Snuggie will surely be a laughable trend in 10 to 20 years, but right now it's a pop culture phenomenon.
And now, the blanket with sleeves will be the star of Louisville's first Snuggie Pub Crawl.
The event is scheduled for Saturday, March 21, and will start at 9 p.m. at the Outlook Inn and crawl down Bardstown Road from there, according to organizer Tonya Hillman.
We thought we'd ask Hillman a few questions about the event.
Q: Who dreamed up this fantastic idea?
A: While I would love to say I was the creator of this event, I have to give credit to six guys from Cincinnati. I missed the Nashville Snuggie Pub Crawl and I didn't want Louisville to miss out. In the news right now is gloom and doom. People are losing their jobs, afraid for the ones they may currently have, losing money on investments ... I felt like we needed a night full of utter silliness.
Q: What are the exact plans for the pub crawl?
A: We encourage the participants to wear their favorite Snuggie color and start at 9 p.m. at the Outlook Inn and crawl down Bardstown Road. And yes, it's all about drinking, laughing and constant warmth.
Q: Why do you think the Snuggie is a phenomenon?
A: Are you kidding? Have you SEEN the infomercial? While staying warm at an outdoor sporting event sounds great in theory, I doubt you would really want to appear as the cult-like family who actually follows through. Slap Chop and Sham Wow have created a buss as well, but the truth is, the only people that would appreciate participants having a Sham Wow pub crawl would be the bartenders, right?
Q: Where did you get your Snuggie?
A: I'm going to come clean on my Snuggie. I have yet to order. However, they can be found at Walgreen's, Bed Bath & Beyond or getsnuggie.com. The event is approaching and I'm a UofL fan, so I really don't want to be stuck with a blue one. I'll be on eBay to secure my burgundy Snuggie!
Hillman says the only thing better than a Snuggie would be a Snuggie made of Sham Wow material.
