This is the end of civilization as we know it.
Those of you who choose to read this Popcorn Stand know my disdain for the apparent latest fashion trend, romphims — the one piece outfits for men similar to rompers that used to be just for women and children. I still have those nightmares of Millennials in their man buns running around in their romphims.
Well now you’re going to be able to purchase male rompers featuring a close-up photo of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un’s face and let me tell you it looks hideous. And it costs $80. What is the world coming to? I thought Millennials were cheap like me and were always looking for a bargain.
But now I hear about how people are spending hundreds of dollars for muddy pants and now this about $80 for male rompers with Kim Jong Un’s smiling face plastered all over them. I still have the idea of just rolling my pairs of blue jeans in the mud and charging $25 for each pair at my dad’s next yard sale.
What’s more the $80 price tag for the Un rompers is advertised as a discount price. They’re supposed to be available in the United States and worldwide in mid-July, but you can apparently order your Un rompers now. I guess that’s to beat the rush.
But again, I’m apparently wrong about this whole male rompers thing because the introduction of romphims in May became a viral sensation, raising more than $45,000 in one day.
Getonfleek, the company that’s selling this Un rompers, also offer rompers with a photo of fried chicken, a print inspired by a jazzy 90s paper cut whatever that is and a cool pineapple.
As for me, I’ll stick to my T-shirt and blue jeans. Without the mud.
