Thanks to a 3-0 beatdown of Czechia at Mexico City Stadium — a.k.a. Azteca Stadium — Mexico wrapped up group play with three wins to top Group A and move on to the knockout stage.
Sure, anything less than getting out of their group would've been a monumental letdown for a competitive Mexican team representing a soccer-mad nation, but fans were still fired up about advancing as dominantly as they did.
How excited? Well, one fan was so pumped he decided to dunk his head into a cotton candy machine.

The video started making the rounds on social media and... well, it is as advertised.
It is indeed a man sticking his head straight into a cotton candy machine.
He came out of that looking like a sugary version of the Wolfman.
I don't want to be that guy, but I hope this was the end of the night for that cotton candy stand. Imagine waiting in line for cotton candy, then the guy in front of you does that?
FOX ONE’S NEW WORLD CUP VIEWING EXPERIENCE

Mexican fans are wild. During the 2014 World Cup, some friends and I went to Cancun and watched a Mexico-Brazil match with fans at our resort's sports bar. That match ended as a 0-0 draw, but it's still one of the best sports-watching experiences of my entire life.
The place was just insane.
And, if you need further proof of that, may I direct your attention back to Cotton Candy Head?

If this is how he celebrated advancing to the Round of 32, can you imagine what he'll do if Mexico makes a deep run in this tournament?
I have a feeling it'd make even the "Jackass" crew cringe.
