JML now selling the Snuggie in Ireland

faceman · 04-12-2009 01:36PM #1

I saw an ad on the telly last night for The Snuggie which is now being sold in Ireland via JML for €15.

Thing is that Pennys have been selling "Coach Cosy" for some time now for €8. its the exact same thing for a cheaper price.

Oh here we go.. here comes the "Slanket Nazies"!

"The product in Penneys is not as good as The Slanket.. it's not as soft!"

I have the one from Penneys in brown.. tis grand!

faceman · 04-12-2009 01:42PM

Ive had 2 from Pennys (The dog ate one!) and have noticed no difference from the slanket. (Altho i dont own a slanket but me sister's friend does)

Whole?! Christ, that's impressive!

I can imagine the conversation:

Ron Burgundy faceman: "What? You pooped in the refrigerator? And you ate the whole... slanket? How'd you do that? Heck, I'm not even mad; that's amazing. How 'bout we get you in your p.j.'s and we hit the hay. "

I have one of the Penneys "Couch Cosys" too! Don't get much of a chance to use it though:( I'd say there's little or no difference between the slanket and athe penneys one, I had a feel of a snuggie in heatons and could feel no extra softness:pac::pac:

JML don't actually sell the Slanket they sell the Snuggie .
I'm sure it's a fine distinction as the above posters have said. Just thought I'd mention it for the sake of any "Slanket nazis" though.

I'm wearing my Penney's one right now! Me mam has the JML one its a bit softer but thats about it

Noffles · 04-12-2009 03:11PM

Where can I get one?

They sound stupid as ****e but the missus wants one?

Do-more · 04-12-2009 03:13PM

When we were on holidays in the summer the kids borrowed cosy blanket things which were more like a polar fleece poncho with arms definitely not these blanket with arms type thing.

Anyone know what does type ones are called and where I might get one?

Thanks

D-M.

Slanket Nazis??? They sound so.... cuddly

much to my shame, i bring my Coach Cosy to rehearsals with the Boards Drama Group every week. Cos our rehearsal space is cold and given im the director, i mostly sit and watch.

Its a good thing I didnt set up the group to meet wimmenz!

I believe the bargain shop in Arnots had them, not exactly sure, but I think it was 20 for 2, and they're the JML ones

mcaul · 04-12-2009 05:41PM

The big difference between the JML one & Penneys one is the JML one has to pay for expensive TV advertising and the penneys one doesn't.

otherwise its the same material doing the same job and as I doubt any (maybe a few) will be going outside the house in them, colour, fit & looks don't matter a jip.

There is a shop in the Square(Tallaght) X factory selling Snuggies for 8 euro. I think they they make people look like their in some sort of cult

Ruu_Old · 04-12-2009 06:26PM

I prefer the Slanket!

Shiminay · 04-12-2009 08:50PM

I'm in the states at the moment (Orlando) and they're selling the Snuggie for $10 in 7 Elevens

My brother picked one up for our mother who's one of those permanently cold people.

This made me chuckle audibly.

Yeah I agree, makes people look like they're in a cult, or in Star Wars

The Guvnor · 05-12-2009 07:43PM

I saw the JML one and was seriously dissapointed.
Is the slanket not a poncho type garment?
JML to me was pants, no better than a hospital gown!:)

Justin10 · 05-12-2009 08:49PM

The best one is in Bcool the gadget shop but most expensive at €35

TomCo · 05-12-2009 10:21PM

Can't you just put a dressing gown on backwards?

kaizersoze · 05-12-2009 10:50PM

Jesus, I thought I clicked on the ladies lounge by mistake.:eek:

Get a grip lads. I suspected some boardsies were gay...but not all.:p

KC JONES · 05-12-2009 11:47PM

Why would you need one in a heated house? I saw ads for one of them which said it would keep your hands warm from icy cold or similar words. icy cold in modern houses?

M450 · 06-12-2009 02:04AM

I got my Mam the Snug Rug in Argos... was 30 quid! Never knew of the 8 euro one in Pennys...

Or just wear a long sleeved top and use a regular blanket.
