The Cleveland Cavaliers Break World Record (But Not for Basketball)

— March 9, 2010 — Marketing
The Cleveland Cavaliers broke the world record for something pretty awesome and you’ll never guess what. This basketball team didn’t break any sports themed record but a blanket themed one.

The Cleveland Cavaliers promotional team offered their fans more than an exciting game of basketball as 599 fans were given a bright red Cavs-inspired Snuggie! Thus, they broke the record for the largest gathering of people wearing a Snuggie in one place.

This was definitely a great promotion, as I would love to take part in breaking a world record and take home a free Snuggie. That’s way better in comparison to paying for an overpriced hot dog and giant foam finger.
