CHICAGO — It's a blanket. It has sleeves. And it's becoming a stalwart on gift lists everywhere.
The "as seen on TV" Snuggie and a competitor known as The Slanket are flying off shelves nationwide. So too are the knockoffs showing up in stores across the country.
"It's a super-popular item," Tom Aiello, a spokesman for Sears and Kmart, said of the Snuggie.
Last year the cult-fostering cozies, which look suspiciously like a monk's ensemble in fleece, rose to fame as the ultimate kitsch gift. But they were available only online or through TV commercials.
This holiday season, thousands of stores are stocking them, and they're so beloved by shoppers that some colors and styles are running out, said Brittany Welch, a spokeswoman for Snuggie maker Allstar Products Group.
"The original blue Snuggie is our best seller," she said in a statement. "The Snuggie blue was the original color and is viewed as the 'signature' color of the Snuggie brand. We believe this style is the one to which most consumers can relate."
Kia actually had a damn good press display this year. By recruiting Anthony Sullivan of Pitchmen to do a faux informercial for their presentation, it was a frothy mix of funny and informative that didn’t fall into press demo territory very long without a laugh or two. I’d tell you more about it had it not been for the man-sized hamster sitting in the Kia Soul directly across from my vantage point. With his incredibly realistic, five-fingered handclaws, maniacal grin and tons of hamster mischief in his huge hamster mind, I couldn’t focus on anything else. Yeah, we get it, everyone loved the Hamsters-on-Acid commercial with the rodents bobbing their heads to some unce unce – but man-sized hamsters, great in concept, is something best left to the imagination. For Kia to bring this to life in terrifying details reminds us that, if given the chance, a mega-hamster would happily chew up your whole family and stuff them into its nasty, obese cheeks. It’s time for a little heart-to-heart before this turns into a messy tragedy: Kia,Discontinue your research into MegaHamstery and I’ll put down the Barrett. Deal? Okay, good. Let’s move on.

Next in this cavalcade of creepy is Man Shark Man. MINI had him drive their Beachcomber concept onto their faux-sand hill amongst plenty of bro love and bro dancing. (Please, don’t ask.) Man Shark Man obviously had already consumed a Coke drinker as evidenced by the detritus stuck to the inside of his gaping maw. What the hell were you thinking, MINI? The last bastion of defense we had against the constant shark threat was Lastly, but sure as all Hell not least is the Molestron 9000. Nobody knows who exactly fielded this thing, but you can be damn sure it’s the strangest thing to stand next to at a presentation. At first, I thought it was some clever robot piloted by a guy in a backroom somewhere, trying to stir up some hype. I soon realized that there’s actually a
