We at NowPublic are no strangers to emerging-yet-bizarre trends. After all, we're all too familiar with the Snuggie. I hoped it was over. I truly did. I was wrong. A new infomercial is hawking something called the Wearable Towel, and it's set to become its own little annoying trend. How, exactly, is the wearable towel different from the Snuggie? Furthermore, how is either different from just putting on a bathrobe backwards?

Will we see Snuggie-vs-Wearable Towel riots in the streets? I hope so, actually.

“We simply made the towel better,” said Zoni Stein, President and CEO of 20/20 Vision Management, whose creative thinking manifested this brainchild.

And, no, I most certainly will not link to its product page, so fuhgeddaboudit. Just wrap the dang thing around your waist as nature intended.

Scientists have been postulating that once we reach the absolute conjunction of the Snuggie and the humping-dog-USB-dongle the Internet as a news medium will collapse upon itself like a dried out orange.

Jordan, your thought was my EXACT reaction; 'It's a bathrobe worn backwards!'

Though I'm familiar with the espoused benefits of the "Snuggie" I haven't seen this particular product or commercial, but this just sounds like a terry-cloth hospital gown. And we all know the... um, how should I put it... breezy inefficiency... of that garment.
