Gottschalks sells out of "The Snuggie"

          

It's the blanket with sleeves!  One of the stupidest things I've ever seen!  But people across the country are buying these things by the millions.  Why, I have no idea?  But someone's sure making a fortune on this thing - that's basically a robe you wear backwards!

Anyway... Gottschalks sold out of the $14.95 Snuggies at all their Fresno stores over the weekend!  They ran a coupon in the paper for $10 off any $25 purchase.  So people grabbed two of the Snuggies for around $30, used the coupon, and walked out with two Snuggies for $20!

Don't worry... I'm sure more Snuggies will be shipped in soon. 

Roopam just told me about this website - where people post pictures of themselves wearing Snuggies in weird places.  All I can say is - Get a life!

The two Tony's send Light Signals to the International Space Station with their Complimentary Booklights. E.T. phoned home and he wants a Snuggie!

Maybe the snuggies will bring them out of bankruptcy.

They can use all the help they can get!  But I think it would take several million Snuggies to save Gottschalks!

Hey Mike and Corey, have you guys heard of the facebook group called I want a Snuggie Blanket Made of Sham-Wows?  We're 1408 members strong.  Check it out! Lol.

Totally. But someday on VH1, they'll have a show called I Love the 2000's and the Snuggie, wearing scarves in the summer, Twilight, and very possibly the EcoSpere will make the top 20.
