Do you want to know when America’s obesity epidemic started? It started with the invention of the fanny pack. No longer were people forced to carry items with their hands; they could carry them with their fannies. Now I do realize that the fanny pack has gotten its fair share of verbal abuse already but apparently it hasn’t been enough. I continue to see people wearing fanny packs as if it is a normal, okay thing to do. I have news for these people, it is not an okay thing to do. Luckily for us the majority of people who still wear fanny packs are grown men who drive minivans. This allows the rest of us to make fun of them until they retreat to their Town & Country only to pull a wad of tissues from their fanny pack so they can cry about how no one realizes how “functional” their fanny pack is. I don’t care if it has a cell phone holder. My pants have a cell phone holder too; it’s called a pocket. Learn to use your pockets like the rest of us. Maybe then you’ll graduate to normality.

how did they get the name fanny packs when they are worn in the front? They should call them crotch packs.
