Recently, "Hippo Coffee" on social media has become very popular, attracting many netizens who go to Thailand to sign in.

Judging from the sharing and photo taken by the tourists, the popular hippopotamus coffee in their hands sells for 99 baht (about 21 yuan), which is no different from ordinary coffee, except that there is only a lifelike hippopotamus on the drink. The hippopotamus, which looks a little dirty, is actually a kind of ice cream that customers can eat directly or allow it to slowly melt and mix with coffee, the puncher said.

Some netizens may be puzzled by the popularity of this cup of hippopotamus coffee, wondering how a cup of coffee with more than one decorative hippopotamus can be noticed and loved by so many people. The fundamental reason is that this is not an ordinary hippopotamus on the African prairie, but a Thai "top female star" with millions of fans around the world.

It is understood that the black-nosed hippopotamus baby named "Moo Deng" (nicknamed bouncing pig) is a female hippopotamus born at Green Mountain Wildlife Park in Thailand in July this year.

Since birth, the little creature, who is easily frightened by the keeper, has often made a surprise expression. Zoo staff made these lovely moments into videos and uploaded them to the social platform, which made it go viral overnight and captured the hearts of many netizens around the world. it has also become an online celebrity meme in chat records.

Since then, the zoo has soared in popularity because of the new "top class", and the number of visitors has greatly increased. In order to satisfy fans around the world who want to see Moo Deng, the zoo recently launched a 24-hour live broadcast of Moo Deng with other animals, with about 44000 viewers.

The extremely high popularity of the "female star" has naturally brought economic effects to the zoo, not only the total income of the park has risen, but also received donations from fans. Thailand's catering, clothing and other industries have also taken advantage of this opportunity to "rub" its popularity, launching Moo Deng-related coffee, cakes, clothes and other products, attracting many fans to sign in to buy.

The decorative hippopotamus on the coffee is based on Moo Deng and looks almost exactly like a baby hippopotamus in the eyes of fans.

However, when many netizens saw the hippopotamus on the coffee, they did not feel the expression of "the old man on the subway looks at his cell phone", saying bluntly, "what a lovely thing, take it away", "this hippo is a little ugly" and "he makes me a little confused about how to talk".

They said that because the hippopotamus ice cream was so highly reductive, and the hippopotamus happened to be soaked in dark brown coffee, people unconsciously thought of Moo Deng rolling in the mud, mistakenly thinking that they were drinking hippopotamus bathing, and immediately lost their appetite.

It seems that both favorite fans and incomprehensible netizens will feel "embarrassed" in the face of this unique hippo coffee.
