My six year old niece wanted one thing, and only one thing, for Christmas this past year: a stuffed unicorn. And, it’s not just her. Folks across the country and around the world seem caught up in a unicorn frenzy. But, why?

Just Why are Unicorns so Popular?

It’s true, unicorns are pretty much everywhere in products and services, in commercials, in tv shows, you can’t go anywhere without running into a unicorn. How did this happen?

In the 1970’s, hippies favored unicorns on t-shirts and posters, this was an outgrowth of the psychedelic movement. Trapper keepers, folders, and Lisa Frank stickers became all the rage for tween students in the 1980s. In the 1990’s Hasbro Toys noticed the popularity of unicorns and decided to add them to their successful My Little Pony line. By the early 2010’s a nostalgia wave had hit the U.S. and it was only natural that unicorns would ride that rainbow wave.

Instagram has stated that they have 7.5 million photos tagged with #unicorn and there are thousands of searches of the word unicorns on Google every day, according to Google searches are at an all-time high in 2019. You Tube has dozens of tutorials on making unicorn cupcakes and using unicorn make-up. The LGBTQ community has adopted unicorns and their accompanying rainbows for the Pride movement and parades.

Unicorn Toast

The development of “unicorn toast” (a concoction of toasted bread covered with multi-colored cream cheese) added to their popularity as did the 2017 Niki Minaj music video for her song “Make Love.” The video features Ms. Minaj floating on an over-sized unicorn pool float. The popularity is undeniable and has led to the use of phrases like “unicorn boyfriend” (the mythical perfect boyfriend who can do no wrong) and “unicorn hair” (either unique pastel colors or a rainbow of multi-colored hair). Face it, unicorns are everywhere. 

It appears as though the uniqueness of the animal and its associated magical qualities are a hit with many types of people. Perhaps, folks like standing out from the crowd? Or, maybe the unicorn’s uniqueness hits home for those who feel not part of the bigger group? More than any one thing, unicorns seem to hold a soft spot in many of our imaginations.

God himself must needs be traduced, if there is no unicorn in the world.
Edward Topsell

The unicorn was white, with hoofs of silver and graceful horn of pearl….The glorious thing about him was his eye. There was a faint bluish furrow down each side of his nose, and this led to the eye sockets, and surrounded them in a pensive shade. The eyes, circled by this sad and beautiful darkness, were so sorrowful, lonely, gentle and nobly tragic, that they killed all other emotions except love.
T.H. White

Dreams are the playground of unicorns.
Unknown

Of all the legendary animals of art, folklore and literature, the Unicorn is the one with the greatest hold on our imaginations. Other fabulous beasts are clearly inventions, existing only in a mythical landscape of our own collective creation. But the Unicorn strikes us as more than imaginary. It seems possible, even probable – a creature so likely that it ought to exist.
Nancy Hathaway

“Unicorns,” she whispered. Rahela nodded. “The most beautiful of all the Mother’s children.”
Jennifer Roberson, The Court of the Summer King

All the beasts obeyed Noah when he admitted them into the ark. All but the Unicorn. Confident of his own abilities, he boasted “I shall swim.”

Unicorn Frappuccino at Starbucks

Probably one of the most famous unicorn embodiments is the Unicorn Frappuccino from Starbucks. The Starbuck unicorn drink was introduced in 2017 and people went crazy.

What is in Unicorn Frappuccino?

The frothy drink consists of ice, milk, pink powder, sour blue powder, crème Frappuccino syrup, mango syrup, and a sugary blue syrup drizzle. Weighing in at a little over 500 calories in the 24-ounce cup had 18 grams of fat, 76 grams of sugar (diabetics should avoid this drink), and 55 grams of cholesterol (be still my heart).

Health Controversy

Available only until April 23, 2017, the controversial drink had its fair share of supporters and distractors. The American Heart Association recommends that women consume only 25 grams of sugar a day (the unicorn frap had three times that amount) and men consume only 36 grams of sugar per day (the frap had more than twice that amount). Unicorn fans however found the drink dazzling and fueled by the media’s coverage it was very popular. One of the most unique things about the beverage was its color changing capability making it magical like a unicorn. The drink starts out purple with a swirl of blue through it and changes as consumed to looking far pinker than purple. Maybe unicorns are magic. 

Trendy Unicorn Gifts  

Consumers believe that giving the gift of a unicorn, in any form is giving a gift that is blessed with magic.

Unicorn Background

The legend of the unicorn has existed for centuries and there are versions of the fantastic animal in both Eastern and Western culture. The Chinese version has exited for thousands of years, it is most often depicted with the body of a deer, the tail of an ox, the hooves of a horse, and a single short horn growing out of the middle of its forehead.

There are five revered colors in China, red, yellow, blue, white and black, but sometimes the image features green scales on the body like a dragon. In Chinese mythology, unicorn were the messengers of important news like the birth of Confucius, the long reign of the Yellow Emperor, the secrets of written language, and many more.

Other Asian Countries have unicorn traditions, in Japan the unicorn has a shaggy mane and the body of a bull, with a single horn in the middle of its head. The Japanese unicorn could tell if someone was guilty and once that determination was made, the unicorn would pierce the heart of the guilty party with its horn.

The mythological Arabian unicorn had magical qualities and was a good-luck charm against scorpions. It is now believed that the Arabian unicorn was actually an animal called an oryx which had two horns that appeared as one when viewed from the side.

The Western Unicorn

The Western version of the unicorn was first mentioned in the 3^rd century and by the 4^th century, the mythological beast was widespread and popular. Its horn was three colors white at the bottom, black in the middle, and red at the tip. This Greek version of the unicorn was believed to offer protection against poison when the horn was ground into a powder and added to a drink. Aristotle believed the unicorn was a real animal that did not possess magical qualities.

The unicorn myth spread to Europe and by the 1300’s, King Robert III incorporated a unicorn into the official seal of Scotland. Often referred to as an alicorn, the creature is often shown flying with beautiful angelic wings. The Western unicorn also had magical powers and the ability to counteract poison. In France, the Kings ate with utensils made from unicorn horns to prevent them from being poisoned.

Medicinal Benefits

These medicinal qualities were in popular culture well into the 1700’s. All parts of the unicorn were believed to have benefits, not just the horn. While ground unicorn horn was said to cure fever, plague, epilepsy, rabies, gout, and a host of other ailments, leather from the unicorn was equally valuable. Shoes made of unicorn leather insured healthy legs and feet and a belt made from unicorn leather protected the wearer from the plague and fever. Eating a unicorn’s liver was thought to cure leprosy.

Appearance in Coat of Arms

Unicorns have appeared on the Coat of Arms of Scotland, Hungary, France, Czech Republic. Switzerland, Germany, and the Netherlands. The unicorn we know and picture today in Western culture began to evolve in the 1800’s and slowly morphed into the image we see today. Popular in the 1970’s, 1980’s, and 1990’s, the unicorn is ubiquitous today because of social media and mass marketing. Long live the unicorn.

Unicorns and Rainbows – What’s the Connection?

As far back as the 1800’s Victorians combine rainbows and unicorns to create a romantic vision of unicorns that still exists to this day. Once rainbows and unicorns were paired, there was no separating them. The LGBTQ community already had a rainbow flag to signify diversity and by displaying it with a unicorn it conveyed that message of the powerful and the possible, the mystical and the magical, the fantastical, and the fabulous.

The rainbow connection also was found in the My Little Pony toy product line, the original and new series of toys both contained versions that had rainbow colored manes. And the children’s TV series Adventure Time features a character named “Lady Rainicorn” that is literally a combination of a rainbow and a unicorn. Guess the two just go together. 

Are unicorns real?

There are two schools of thought on this theory one is that unicorns are strictly mythological and the second is that the unicorn may be based on misunderstandings of real animals. As mentioned above, the legends about unicorns are numerous and the unicorn has undergone an evolution from the earliest mention of the creature to the somewhat garish version we see today.

The legends include healing and magical powers, the ability to fly, and the skill to discern if someone is telling the truth. Each region and time period added and subtracted to the myth and the flying steed with the rainbow mane and single horn has stayed in our history.

Unicorn Inspirations

There are real animals that may be responsible for the legend of the unicorn. There also may have been a real animal called a unicorn with a single horn that was hunted out of existence for its valued horn. The most obvious misunderstanding would have been a rhinoceros. Single horn sticking out of the head, large animal, but hardly the muscular, svelte animal we picture.

The second possibility is the Aurochs, a large breed of cattle that had two horns, but when drawn or painted from the side, like in cave paintings, looked like a single horned animal. These cattle had large and muscular builds. Finally, there’s the “unicorn of the sea,” the narwhal. The narwhal is in the porpoise family and features a single horn protruding from the middle of its head. In all likelihood, the narwhal is responsible for the perpetuation of the unicorn myth. Narwhal horns were collected by poachers and sold as unicorn horns for centuries. If the horns were real, unicorns must be real, right? Wrong. 

Unicorn Hair

The look of unicorns has evolved from forest-like animal to fantastic steed with a twisted horn and mane that is all sorts of wild colors. Unicorn hair is hair that is a stand-out pastel or super bright color or even rainbow colored, but the key is it must be otherworldly, not found in nature a spectrum of colors that are magical.

One company, Lime Crime, makes a line of semi-permanent hair dye and hair color products that are vegan and only use globally sourced ingredients. The dyes are available in an amazing array of “unicorn colors.” What are unicorn colors?
