Trash: Snuggie for Dogs

|

I think this is taking the Snuggie a little too far, don't you? I'll freely admit that, despite its laughable looks, the original Snuggie for humans is not a bad idea. It would be nice to be all cozy and warm while still being able to read a book or change the channel on my TV.

But dogs don't read, watch TV (well, most don't), sew, make coffee, dust, cheer on sports teams, drink coffee in the woods, or do any of the other crazy things going on in the video below. So why do they need a Snuggie? That poor dog up there looks entranced, like he was hypnotized into wearing the thing. As soon as he snaps out of it, I have a feeling he's going to try and rip that sucker off.

Anyway, for a good laugh, check out the new Snuggie commercial below. High-fives all around and a little sofa dancing at the end. These people have to be making fun of themselves ... right?


Trash: Cap-sac

This is the Cap-sac, a fanny pack for your head. That's right. And yet again, I have had trouble deciding if is Trash or Treasure. So, I decided to write down the pros and cons to see which won out.

Pros:
- The colors are bright, fun, retro, and therefore awesome.
- It turns in on itself and zips up into a little pouch. So, good for travel.
- It's so incredibly dorky that it borders on cool.

Cons:
- It's a fanny pack that you wear on your head.
- If you actually put anything in the pack, your forehead will look misshapen.
- Probably only 1% of the population has the style, attitude, and confidence to pull off the look without looking like a total moron.

Hm, tied. But I think the cons outweigh the pros, don't you? I'm going to have to go with Trash. Sorry, Cap-sac.
