After 100 million pairs sold, and 181 million dollars lost,  it looks like Crocs have gone belly up.  Let’s get right to the point, everyone knows someone who had a pair, and more likely than not she was a dental hygienist named Mandy who matched her Crocs with her scrubs.  But I know the real truth.

Mario Batali killed Crocs!  Yeah, I said it.

Once said picture was snapped, the Croc went from earthy and antibacterial, to a sign that you’d let yourself go.

But the Ginger chef took it a step further, he took it to the red carpet. Nothing says glamour like a fat man in unsturdy shoes. This is the moment when even the most ardent Croc supporters quickly took their pair out of the closet and hid it in the nearest compost heap.

R.I.P. Crocs. And take Blake from Tom’s shoes with you.
