So When did Bigfoot Become Mainstream?

[sailorsam]

as a little one I remember Bigfoot (sometimes known as Sasquatch) as an obscure monster on par with the Yeti and the Loch Ness Monster.
at some point it seems that Bigfoot became mainstream.
Pizza Hut had a Bigfoot pizza.
Hollywood had a movie about called 'Harry and the Hendersons'.  as I recall there was a tv series.
the Colorado Avalanche NHL team had bigfoot prints on their uniforms.
   

speaking of the NHL, the Utah team wanted to call themselves the Yeti, but they were denied as there is a cup/cooler maker of that name.

so do we think the majority accepts Bigfoot as a real entity?  or is this just a modern myth?

I noticed it went full bore mainstream in summer of 2023 in several states, especially Pennsylvania. Lots of conferences & festivals, big campaign promotions. I wrap it into the same grifter group as the UFO flap. It's a big money market industry with absolute zero truth in it as far as I'm concerned. All just entertainment nowadays. There is of course a few that are more scientific oriented in searching for & presenting very interesting data, but they now get drowned out by the entertainment CULTure. Bigfoot, UFOs, & BBQs.



To me it's just a myth, but that don't mean there isn't something strange & elusive among us. I also do not belittle anyone who does believe in Bigfoot. I never really got into Bigfoot research despite living in Oregon. What I find more interesting than the beast itself is the host of characters that speak & publish on Bigfoot. Many to me are way out on cloud 9, but seemingly harmless. The same with the loud voices in the UFO cult groups, but with a big exception - many of them I find to be dangerous akin to religious cult leaders.

Odd that only last night, BIAD dropped this one off at my door!



Normally, I'd just put it down to the poor and biased reporting of general happenings around the world not
being seen as entertaining enough and the oncoming 'silly season' in the Western hemisphere beginning to
ramp up due to the better weather.

But with the realisation that recent generations are not looking to the mainstream media for their infotainment,
Bigfoot has become 'Disney-fide' so that it's okay to use it for branding-reasons and yet, still portray the outlying
phenomena in a joking fashion.

Remember, the MSM -along with that other hallowed church -Science, has always deemed the creature as
not real.
