Weezer to release own Snuggie blanket

Yahoo! Music, May 26, 2009 3:00 pm PDT
Weezer have teamed up with a leading U.S. blanket company to produce their own branded blanket, according to reports.

The band are set to get their own "Snuggie," which is a blanket with sleeves, and instead will call the item a "Wuggie."

Frontman Rivers Cuomo says that the product is a legitimate Snuggie, and the company will help promote the item with the band.

“A Wuggie is basically exactly like a Snuggie, except it says Weezer on it. The people at Snuggie are doing it with us and promoting it with us. It’s a totally legit Snuggie,” Cuomo told Rolling Stone.

As previously reported, Cuomo released a live DVD in April entitled Not Alone - Rivers Cuomo & Friends Live At Fingerprints which was recorded at Fingerprints record store in Long Beach, CA.
