Anyone who doubts the popularity of Pokemon, just go to your nearest Burger King around dinner time and see the gridlock in the parking lot, and the line at the drive thru and inside. It's worse than when McDonalds had Teeny Beanie Babies.

I promised my kids tonight that we could go to Burger King. The first one we went to was packed, and we were told they only had 12 toys left, so we left. The second Burger King we went to was almost as packed, and they had a big sign on the door saying they were out of Pokemon toys. I finally got smart and took them to the tiny little Burger King inside the mall. They had bags and bags of Pokemon, and no line. My kids were thrilled. Next to me was a couple in their 20's and it was clear that the lady was buying kids meals to get the toys for herself. She was raving about how cute they were and how she was determined to get every one of them. That's the first time I'd seen someone that old go crazy over Pokemon, but it made me very happy.

Does anyone know if KIDE gets a cut from the Burger King toys????
