I've read that they are a big trend in Japan and Peru. They arrived in Argentina and started in Chinatown, but now they are spreading to other neighborhoods, cities, and provinces. 🦆

I thought this post was a joke! But then I saw this post on X where a politician was wearing one. Strange.

They look totally ridiculous and stupid. These silly fads. We are becoming a dumber society every day.

I agree with you @Larry. It seems like these days people just do things to try to get attention. Strange times we are living in.
