The Great Hippopotamus uprising of 1966 Was a historical event that began eary in the morning of August 13th, 1966 When a heard of angry hippopotamuses stormed the city of Budapest. Just as the cities farmers market opened, hundreds of starved Hippos ravaged the city for melons and fruit. Upon mistaking other foods (more specifically fruit filled pastries)for fruit, they began to raze all local bake shops. This resulted in the Hippos eating other delicious baked goods as well. Towns people would only feel comfortable leaving their houses for moments at a time to pick up scraps the Hippos had left in city center. After 3 weeks, the hippos has gotten so overweight they no longer could place their feet on the ground, and the people were able to roll them back to the wild. This was later the inspiration for the game “Hungry Hungry Hippos” that was originally called Hungarian Hippos, and was based changed to better market to the western culture the game would be sold in.
