The Next Snuggie

First and foremost, I want to give a shout out to Ahop as he has so humbly and generously taken the reins over the past month or two and has kept this blog alive. I cannot say enough about his dedication to this business. I, in my laziness, have been watching from the sidelines. However, I am back with a vengeance and a renewed confidence to make millions... nay, hundreds of millions of dollars from this thing and the ideas associated with it. Forgive me for my absence, but I can assure you it will be worth it. With that being said, we shall begin.

I'm a hot guy. Quite literally. I sometimes think that my body runs at a higher temperature than most. Whether it be from my studly chest hair or some pre-existing condition that I don't know about is another question. This has led me to spend countless summer nights tossing and turning, all the while sweating profusely as I have not always had the luxury of central heat and air. Fortunately, I have come up with a wonderful and practical solution. And just for fun here is my sales pitch with a tribute to a legend...

"Hi, Billy Mays here!!! for the Frosty Fleece, the easy way to find comfort during the hot summer weather. Are you tired of sleepless nights, constantly flipping to the cool side of the pillow in search of relief? (cut to people struggling immensely in bed with looks of severe anguish on their faces, then a shot of a bed covered in sweat) Well, here's your solution! The Frosty Fleece is a blanket that can and will keep you cool! Just throw it in the fridge for ten minutes and enjoy the comfort of a blanket without the heat! Wait, you would rather be warm???

Call now and receive not one but eight Frosty Fleece's for your entire extended family all for the price of one!!! Also, we'll throw in 2 tickets to that thing you love!

Wait, that last bit was from the wrong commercial, but I digress. So we have a catchy name (Frosty Fleece) for a product that could easily catch on. I feel like this thing could be a goldmine so much so that I actually drew up a prototype as I was sitting here. Took me about 2 and a half minutes. So here's what I got so far:


As you can see, there is a gel insert that winds throughout the blanket which is then stitched in between two layers of fabric. I think if the gel strip is thin enough, it wouldn't hinder the mobility (we want to avoid a blanket that is stiff and rigid) and comfort of the blanket but it would still keep it cool. It's like those eye masks you wear at night but way better. The two big problems I think that would crop up would be 1) Mobility and comfort 2) How long it would stay cold. If those two problems were addressed and resolved, there is no stopping this thing from making a butt-load of money.

There are so many reasons that this would work that if it were made it would have to work. The more I type, the more I want to go try to make one. And since I just got a bomb ass tax refund, I might just do that. Snuggies ain't got nothin' on the Frosty Fleece.
