I have seen mentions for a couple of weeks that there was a Snuggie Sighting on a Jack in the Box commercial, specifically during American Idol. I’ve not caught it, but thanks to @joesonthenose on Twitter for snapping this shot. You can say Aloha to Joes on the Nose here.

Photo from Jack in the Box Commercial - Baby Blue Snuggies?

Are these genuine Snuggies in a new color? Or are these fake Snuggies? Either way, Jack in the Box is using the Snuggie to help promote their own business.

Here’s the photo at its original location on TwitPic

I joined Twitter early in the life of this site, which sprang forth from the loins of the Internet on January 10, 2009. Via Twitter, I was able to secure the Tony Kornheiser PTL Snuggie Sighting pic here’s the historic Tweet.

I’ve been able to connect to some very cool people through Twitter, such as:
TrailerParkNews – empty your bladder before reading any of their stuff.
1millionsnuggie – check out their upcoming Snuggie Event.
A former Little League Teammate of Mr. Snuggie Sightings (He has no idea I’m doing this – follow him and tell him he was a great second baseman)
Sean Percival – He’s a Must Follow – here’s Sean’s website SeanPercival.com. He’s the Director of Content at Tsavo and Editor at lalawag.

Ok. I’m putting it out there. Sean has MAD skills when it comes to Social and Viral Marketing. I’ve been studying his game, following his Tweets, etc. from afar. So, when Sean joined SnuggieBook.com on day 2 or 3 of the Social Network with Sleeves’ existence, I knew I was onto something. For a Social Network to succeed, it needs either the right content, or the right people. Sean brought both to SnuggieBook. He posted pics from his lalawag Snuggie Off – Go there to place your vote. Snug the Vote!

When I saw Sean’s Tweet the other day about sending a Snuggie to Jason Calacanis, I started tracing back in the Twit-Stream until I found this – Jason Calacanis cracks on Sean for wearing a Snuggie.

Apparently Mr. Calacanis saw the Snuggie-Off and was wishing Sean well at SXSW. Sean in return sent Jason a Snuggie as a gift. This ended up being posted upon the Snuggie’s arrival:

If you click that pic, you can see Jason’s post regarding the ‘most amazing gift ever…from an old friend’. I noticed two things on this post:

1. Jason now spelled Snuggie correctly.
2. He didn’t link to, or mention Sean as the source of the Snuggie gift. Where’s the link? I’m THIS close to filing this under Attribution Fail.

All I can say is Don’t Bite the Hand that Snuggies You.

…and now you know…the rest of the Snuggie Story.

File this under my second attempt at a Snuggie Pulitzer. Here was my first – Snuggie Scam.

While the world went to the Watchmen premiere’s at 12:01 AM Friday, I was home hitting Twitter Search. There were several poetic tweets out there in the wild, all sent via cell phones, that said basically…”Dude. Just saw a dude in a Snuggie at the theater.” So being the polite person that I am, I started tweeting these Twitter Poets, asking them to get a picture and send it in. (Have I mentioned before how amazing Twitter is?) Thanks to Valloq for forwarding this pic. And I believe the person who took the actual shot is the proud owner of this website (trying to provide proper attribution).

And special note to the dude in the pic: I suppose you don’t mind being on this site, considering that you wore a Snuggie to the Watchmen Premiere. Nothing says ‘Notice Me’ quite like that. If you spot yourself here, please let me know your name so I can give you props as well for sporting the Snuggie in public.
