It took a judge’s ruling to settle an
argument about whether Snuggies are
blankets or garments. Because blankets
and clothing are taxed differently, the
company objected when its product was
placed in a garment category and given
a higher tariff. The courts officially
declared that, because it opens in the
back, has no closures, and is marketed
as a ‘blanket with sleeves’, the Snuggie
is indeed a ‘blanket.’ Source
