A love of unicorns has existed for centuries. Heck, there’s a unicorn featured on the Royal Coat of Arms of Canada, the United Kingdom, and Scotland. In spite of claims of sightings through the centuries and compelling Biblical references, unicorns are still acknowledged as mythical creatures. In spite of all these things, unicorns have become a mania and a goldmine for many. Whether it started with the Starbucks Unicorn Frappuccino in spring of 2017 or with some other rainbow-colored trigger, the unicorn craze is on. It is happening, folks! There are plenty of trendy unicorn t-shirts to prove it.
Reasons to Love Unicorns
Why are people so crazy about unicorns? The obsession definitely leans to the feminine side, but it’s for everyone. After all, what man can’t identify with an animal sporting a long, spiraled horn? Narwhals are unquestionably real, and everyone loves them, too. Are any of the following among the reasons you love unicorns or maybe good arguments for why you should jump on the unicorn bandwagon?
- Horses are already among the coolest, most majestic of creatures. Unicorns are all that plus a gigantic horn!
- Even the most devoted of Bible lovers can get on the unicorn train, thanks to verses like this one from the official King James Version: “God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn.” Numbers 23:22. There are at least nine scriptures referencing unicorns!
- The colors of unicorns are as diverse as a rainbow, making them politically correct.
- Unicorns are the stuff of the most fantastical and/or romantic dreams.
- A unicorn is like a horse that can also fly. It is way cooler than the mythological creature known as Pegasus, which is a mere literary being, like Zeus, unless you can believe the videos of flying horses.
- Even Unicorn poop has flair and can move product.
- The unicorn craze has expanded to toys, cupcakes, corn-on-the-cob, make-up, and unicorn hair, all of which are punctuated with colors of the rainbow.
