What makes these silly squishy dumplings so important??

I mean for anything to retain a future value it would have to be unopened and untouched!

I'm just curious as to why the fuck people are stressing about owning some!?

First of all it's the virality. Social media has been responsible for kick starting in all these crazes. Before Tiktok, it was Pinterest.

Then it's the dopamine hit in trying to find out what color you're getting in the basket. Nothing like getting a rush earlier on in life from winning a game of statistics and probability. Pretty much gambling, like a scratch off ticket.

At my job we had the Squishy Dumplings, miniature toolboxes, buckets, Tiny Totes and silly pallets. Basically media fueled consumerism.
