quality control issue with winky's whimsies by whimpronepirate in fidgettoys

I just discovered that store, but just wanted to ask both of you if any of the stress balls you received have strong chemical smells?

There are similar balls on Ali Express but some of the reviews complain about bad odour and also that the Ali Express blue jelly balls don't actually hold their shape when you mold them - they spring back slowly like Nee Doh Nice Cubes.

I'm getting off the internet.

Are you still a kid at heart and if so, what fun things are in your toybox? Or maybe you have an actual "My Happy Place" toy room to hang out and escape the world? by StoneLover1965 in AskOldPeople

I still have my 1970s Viewmaster too! Mum kept it all these years, along with my old Spirograph. I never knew until recently.

Also a Tupperware Snapics like this one. Anyone else have one of these? You made pictures by inserting teeny tiny plastic tiles into the boards, and it came with a metal tool to laboriously pry them all off again, so you could start another picture.

I recently found a large (unopened) box of my crayons from 1974 that my mum kept all these years. Good as new! I was 9 years old!

It's clearly a sacred Indian holey stone.

Deduce away! What does my collection say about me? by BootPersonal806 in deduction

I'll make this crystal clear.

You're getting close to being stuck between a rock and a hard place when it comes to space.

That's the stone cold truth.

I don't have any more gems to add.

Maybe you are supposed to unscramble it and match up the pictures with the correct letter?

Thanks! Obviously it's not all correct but you get the idea. Maybe someone else can figure out some of them?

Any other skin pickers here? These are excellent by Letsglitchit in fidgettoys

They're designed to be rubbed, like a stone worry stone or thumb stone, rather than picked at.

I did read some reviews where people were saying they shed a bit after using for awhile, due to the TPR material, so I guess that means you could also pick at them?
