Move over 'Hello Kitty', seems the Minions are everywhere you look in the Stateline. In the past month, I have found Minions looking at me from all directions. Here's the latest examples. Have you seen these Minions around town?

 

I remember the day when 'Hello Kitty' was everywhere. Seems the shelf space has been taken over by Minions. They are cute, fun, and carefree, and can take a beating like the rest of us. Here are just a few of the Minion items I have come across this past month alone.

While at the McHenry County Fair, you can win Minions in the Midway.

While shopping with my wife at Hancock Fabrics, I came across Minion Bead Kits.

While shopping at Bed Bath and Beyond, Minions are now edible in the form of 'Peeps'. Yes, 'Peeps'.

That's just the beginning. Minions have their own merchandise website featuring Minion knit hats, jumbo talking dolls, decorative pillows, soft slippers, toys, games, DVD's and more.

Believe it or not, I cam across their own Facebook page too.

Keep your eyes open and it seems everywhere you look, you'll see a Minion looking you in the 'eye'.

Forget about the White Christmas. This Christmas is shaping up to be a Minion Christmas.

Maybe they will take over the world after all.
