Remember Underoos? They're Back, And This Time For Grown-Ups

I can admit I haven't ever shopped at the store Hot Topic. But that might change after the news I received today.

They're selling Underoos. Remember those superhero undies you begged your mom to get  you as a kid? They're back, people!

Turns out, in 1977 Fruit of the Loom had the groundbreaking idea to combine kids' favorite superheros and night-time wear. They were a hit.

I remember hearing about the Underoos, but my mom never got them for me. Apparently they were only for kids who ate their vegetables.

Now, I never really got into the whole comic book and superhero culture, I save that for the Comic Con guys, but maybe that's just because I was deprived of my Underoos as a lad.

Should I make up for lost time? Would the ladies embrace it?

Hot Topic is selling seven different sets: Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman, Batgirl, Harley Quinn, Captain America, He-Man and Skeletor.

They're branded in their retro packaging, lest anyone think you're taking your superhero underwear too seriously.
