Mankind To Blanket: "I Must Break You."


If late night commercials I see are to be believed (and really, why wouldn't they be?), the majority of mankind has yet to conquer the awesome force known only as "The Blanket". For years, it was believed that covering yourself to keep warm and not having it interfere with your everyday life was a fantasy, a pipe dream told to only those young enough to believe it and those old enough not to know what time it is. "You want to have a blanket on AND answer the phone? Surely you jest, good sir!" It seemed as if the blankets had won.

But over the last year or so, things have turned around. First came the Snuggie, a blanket with sleeves that let you wear the thing around the house and look like a Tibetan monk at the same time! Too good to be true? Believe it, kids.

But that's not all. The low quality of the Snuggie made room in the marketplace for a higher quality product: The Slanket. Sure the Slanket may cost a bit more, but it's heavier and warmer and won't fall apart as easily. I assume everyone else reading this goes hunting and jogging with their Snuggie/Slanket like I do, so this kind of durability is key.

For the last year, it's seemed like the good times would never end. We all expect to see people up and down the streets of America wearing their blankets at sporting events and walking their dogs and sending their kids to school in their own miniature Slankets. Surely the sleeved blanket could not be improved upon. Right?

Wrong.

If the Slanket blew your mind, to pieces, the Lippi Selk Bag will drop a nuke on it.


The limitation of the Snuggie/Slanket is that you still have to be near a couch to fully relax. With the Lippi Selk Bag (LSB), you ARE the couch! When you're wearing this bad boy, everywhere is a good place to take a nap. All you have to do is plop down right where you are and take a power nap. At the mall? In class? On the divider on a major highway? It doesn't matter where you are. LSB is there for you.

Don't make the mistake of forgetting your LSB at home. If you aren't wearing it and you take a nap wherever you are, you get downgraded from 'rad' to 'homeless guy', which is not something I recommend.
