Mr Drop Bear T-Shirt

This little fella is absolutely, one hundred percent real — and the fact that you're laughing right now is exactly why he's so dangerous. Mr. Drop Bear is not a hoax. He is not a joke. He is not a koala. He is a large, aggressive, territorial marsupial that drops from the canopy onto unsuspecting prey with zero warning, maximum velocity, and a personal grudge against anyone who didn't listen. He's bigger than a koala, meaner than a koala, and unlike a koala he is not interested in sleeping twenty hours a day — he is interested in you. Specifically, the top of your head. The government won't confirm it because they like tourism dollars. The locals tell you to smear toothpaste across the back of your neck and look up — and that's not a joke, that's a survival strategy. Every single year, another backpacker wanders into the bush in thongs and a singlet thinking "drop bears aren't real" and comes out a different person. A quieter person. A person who looks up now. You can laugh. He's counting on it. He's up there right now. He's always up there. And mate — he is very, very real. Keep looking up. And don't forget the toothpaste.
