More Great Moments in EPIC FAILure....





























^^Yet again, the Snuggie (or variations of it) makes my list. This is just too funny and comes to us thanks to my favorite vacay spot - Japan. Yes, this guy does look warm...but...practical? I think not! The leg holes and hoodie aspects are a good innovation and reduces the "I look like I'm wearing a robe" feel of the original Snuggie design. But....where are the arm holes? How is he supposed to do anything? If the phone rings, if he wants to change the channel, or if he just wants to eat something, it's utterly impossible!! Unless of course, he unzips the legs (haha) and risks getting his legs and arms cold.

So...this is upgraded to EPIC FAIL for creating great innovation but failing to maintain its practicality. It's also much more expensive than the Snuggie...errrmmm no thanks I'll stick to my felt-y robe. ^_^

Yes, if it's not done properly lol. I'm actually a social media marketer...so I learned a few things about how to do it properly - and not to just do batch & blast campaigns!
