I just saw this on Digg the other day, and I got to say, this is a classic bit of knitting. Sure this might make you feel comfortable – dare I say Snuggie – on a cold winter morning, but this eclectic piece of clothing really shows its value during a zombie apocalypse. Call me insane, but in a last ditch moment when the house is being overrun by the undead savages, the Snuggie 2.0 proves its weight in gold (or rather bullets, since gold won’t be worth much during the end of civilization).

How you say?

Instead of running for the exit with your arms above your head, screaming like some dude who has been set on fire, all you need to do is find a nice comfy chair, put on the Snuggie 2.0, and just relax. Just make sure you don’t move. For a long time.

The zombies will enter the house, and mill around for a bit but find nothing. The Snuggie 2.0 effectively camouflages you from the dead. They’ll just think you’re another piece of furniture or some piece of modern art. In time, the zombies will hopefully stumble their way out the door where all you have to do is simply close the door again.

Of course, you might be unlucky where the zombies just hang out in the room for years on end. At least in this scenario when you do manage to attract their attention, you’ll be nice and comfortable when the zombies tear you limb from limb and that’s gotta be worth something. Creature comforts are few and far between in a zombie apocalypse.
