Ok so snuggies?

What are y'all's thoughts on these things?
At first sight they don't look terribly warm, if anything they look thin.
Also, I think the phenom surrounding snuggies has gone a bit far, as demonstrated here:

What are your thoughts? Do you have one? Do you snuggle in it? Are you naked underneith? (Secretly I want one so bad I can taste it.)

    I'm currently kept warm by a sweet beagle snuggled up in my lap. She is sleeping. There is also a springer-spaniel sleeping at my feet. I am warmed by adorable doggies. Beat that fake ass blanket.

    teefs why do you make a hobby of making shitty blankets

    Do you mail them to homeless shelters in cold regions? Homeless dudes are all YEAH I got me a free blanket and then they freeze to death because somebody opened the fridge at the shelter the afghan couldn't keep them warm enough

    You would have to take the same blanket and throw it in a pile of Mothmen Prophecies to replicate the effect.

    EDIT: Yes, Weaver, I still have mine. I still have it made up into a Ranger Roll with the poncho itself.

    I turned mine in when I out-processed. Only thing I kept was my black fleece for winter ops but some ass stole that. I so need to buy a new woobie though. You can stuff that fucker in your pocket and just whip out a blanket at any time.

    Because the blanket is full of holes and not very warming; I honestly believe you lose body heat with those scraps of yarn.

    My logic is perfect, you see.
