# Snuggie Pub Crawls Clearly, It Was Only a Matter of Time By Carolena Costa | Published 2009-12-04 | Life-Stages Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snuggie-pub-crawls References: [snuggiepubcrawls](http://www.snuggiepubcrawls.com/) & [marketmambo](http://www.marketmambo.com/2009/04/fleecing-of-masses.html) With Snuggies for pets, hipsters and even a [New York Fashion Week event](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-york-city-popup-event), never once did I consider owning one--until I read about the Snuggie [pub crawls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/board-crawl) that have been taking over metropolitan areas. The principle is simple: lots of people in Snuggies + Bar = comedy good. The first event was held in Cincinnati, Ohio on January 30, 2009; now they are worldwide. How many drinks before your first Snuggie pub crawl? I'd bet quite a bit. **Implications** - The Snuggie pub crawl concept is a hilarious one but not completely unexpected after the Snuggies for pets concept. The concept is that by bringing people out of their homes and into the bars with the Snuggies comedy would ensue. I think the concept succeeded. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.8/10 - Popularity: 71% | Activity: 96% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Youth](https://www.trendhunter.com/youth) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Snuggie Pub Crawls:** Opportunity for businesses to tap into the trend of Snuggie pub crawls and create unique experiences that combine comfort and comedy. ### Where This Applies - **Events and Entertainment:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for event organizers to host Snuggie-themed pub crawls and attract a large audience seeking a fun and unusual experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cookie-Themed Wearable Beanbags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dominos-cosy-cookie.md) - [Conjoined Holiday Sweaters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/suavitel-cuddle-crewneck.md) - [Drinking Ritual Finger Warmers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fingermittens.md) - [Tortilla Throw Blankets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tortilla-throw-blanket.md) - [April Fool's Lifestyle Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/april-fools-lifestyle.md) - [Bar-Centric Lecture Events](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sip-and-learn.md) - [Alcohol-Centered Board Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monopoly-board-crawl.md) - [Dog-Friendly Dating Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dog-friendly-dating.md) - [Insulated Drink Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/puffin-drinkware.md)
