Remember when I investigated Snuggies last winter? Well, something has come along that makes Snuggies look reasonable by comparison. People, meet the Snazzy Napper.
Here’s what they have to say on the website: Use your Snazzy Napper™ and get your much needed sleep anywhere, anytime! It’s like privacy in a bag.
Short of narcolepsy, who needs to get sleep anywhere? And narcoleptics aren’t going to have the time to whip out their Snazzy Napper and get it into place before drifting off to sleep. But beyond that, who’s going to sleep on a public bus or subway and risk missing their stop, not to mention being relieved of their wallet/iPod/Kindle?
But let’s say that one does have legitimate sleeping-in-public needs, who’s going to buy some something that looks so ridiculous and then has an even more ridiculous pattern on it? I’d love to meet the man who would wear that light blue lamb number in public.
And let’s talk about this product’s name — the Snazzy Napper. Really? Does anyone under the age of 83 still use the word snazzy in a non-ironic way?
Oooh, Bobby, I just love your new iPad. It’s so SNAZZY.
Thank you Marcia. And your new Manolo Blahniks are just so SNAZZY too.
Mmmmm… I don’t think so.
But maybe it’s me. Maybe I’m missing the point. Anyone have one of these things? If so, what are its uses and applications? Or, if you don’t have one, do you secretly covet it?
Please don’t let this dumb thing reach Snuggy proportions.
It could be a great alternative to nursing in public! I’m just saying. Its a thought.
I do say snazzy. But not often. And I’m at a point in my life where I allow myself all sorts of liberties.
Don’t those have a slightly burqa-burqhe-burqua (how do you spell burqa? I’m sticking with the a. See above.) look to them? Picture #1 – Can you imagine if you came out of Trader Joe’s and saw that? How long would it take you to catch your breath, call the cops on your cell phone, and pick up your spilled groceries? Jenny
I continue to be amazed at your ability to find these things! And why on earth would I want cloth over my mouth while I nap?
YIKES. You definitely find some interesting oddities out there! Can you imagine if you’re on a plane and someone whips one of those babies out and puts it on? Eek.
Oh, and Jen, if you have an Ann Taylor outlet near you, the entire store is 40% off for Labor Day weekend.
I don’t get the need for these specialized blankies in general. And I used to say snazzie a lot back in the 70′s – don’t judge me.
Okay first of all Manolo Blahniks and snazzy should NEVER be in the same sentence and if it is used together then that napper should be wrapped around the speakers head so tight they would not be able to LOOK at another pair of MB again. LOL
Okay, just so you know, I don’t get it either and I don’t think I ever will. Nothing says comfort like laying a blanket over your head and then velcro it together in the back – RIGHT! But then again, I don’t get the snugglie either. LOL
OK. This is so weird. I was just thinking of sewing up a blankie that covers the front with sleeves for the arms. (Is that like the snuggie? I haven’t seen one so I don’t know.) But hear me out. When I fly, I carry a travel blankie. But it seems to fall off when I move a little. And when I knit or read, it ends up covering just my lap. So, I was thinking of making one that covers just the front and the arms through the sleeves would keep the blankie from falling off.
What do you think about that before it goes on the market and the review ends up on the cutting floor here. Anyone???
What an embarrassing product!!! How silly!!!!
That definitely is the strangest product that exists for no reason whatsoever. I would die laughing if anyone whipped out one of those and put it on.
I’d swelter under there!
I know what to put on my Christmas wish list!
Seriously, weird.
We watched these demoed on the Today show while on vacation–the boys were howling at how SILLY they were!
Like a burqua for napping.
Oy. I’m feeling claustrophobic just looking at the photo.
I love it when you post about this stuff.
Well it would be useful for wiping up the drool before anyone else could notice… : )
It looks like what the Ku Klux Klan wear when they sleep.
