Reasons why we can't have nice things can be summed up in two words: Frozen, and now Minions.
Just as we were finally getting "Let It Go" out of our heads along with seeing the faces of Anna and Elsa after nearly two years, we are faced with the craze of the the yellow invasion.
They won us over in a little film called Despicable Me, where the gibberish speaking yellow pills became an instant favorite. With their charm and sound effects, minions captured an audience to the point where a film was made in their name by a title none other than Minions.
To no surprise, that was the tipping point for the takeover. One would think the release of the film will spark some merchandise to back it up and that's it, right?
But no. After all, people can't have nice things, and now they're simply everywhere. The result of a nearly 800 million box office success is nowhere near getting the most out of the blockbuster.
Their appeal simply comes from the fact that they end up stealing the scene. Even though they don't speak a word of English, one cant help but laugh (you know its true) at either they things they do or the crazy situations they get themselves into.
It is no wonder why from Snapchat filters, to Tic Tac's, to headphones one can't turn a corner without seeing a little yellow pill wearing a romper and goggles.
Like all fads, minions will eventually die down, but as for now, the yellow invasion is here to stay.
