Ya know, they say there’s only three things in the world that can make a very smart man dumb: Sports, a beautiful woman, and Super Mario toys from McDonald’s.

For real, grown ass adults are converging into McDonald’s‘ across the country in apocalyptic fashion, spending tens and tens of dollars to get their hands on Mario, Luigi and Princess friggin’ Peach. That’s right, tens of dollars. All in the name of Mario and his pals.

Look at how these men and women have gone out of their way to get their paws on one of these toys. Because that’s what they are, toys, people.
