the travis scott (popular rapper) x (in collaboration with) erewhon (LA county upscale grocery chain) dubai chocolate (chocolate with a significant filling of pistachio, kadayif and tahini) labubu (chinese plush toy brand) matcha (finely ground green tea) latte (coffee drink made out of espresso and steamed milk) is reportedly in the works.

[-] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 26 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Great job. I’ll compound this with I live in California and I’ve never heard of erewhon lol

[-] baguettefish@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

to be fair apparently they're only in los angeles county, but I didn't know whether to write LA grocery chain, LA county grocery chain or californian grocery chain. now the middle option looks best, but i was mildly brain deficient at the time (as well as all the time).

[-] mriswith@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago

erewhon (californian upscale grocery chain)

In this case "upscale" means "ripoff", it's $15 for orange juice, or a plain bagel.

[-] Baleine@jlai.lu 14 points 2 months ago

But like, do they put the labubu in the chocolate?

[-] baguettefish@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 2 months ago

that's for you to do, otherwise you'd get no joy out of it.

People who are slaves to trends will happily be giving away more of their money because 3 trends are merging for a limited time thing

[-] Deceptichum@quokk.au 32 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Shitty rapper who was popular years ago and a shitty piece of Chinese consumerist crap mixed with a shitty chocolate named after a shithole country.

[-] abfarid@startrek.website 17 points 2 months ago

Watch your mouth! Dubai is an emirate and a city, not a country, m'kay?

[-] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Shitty rapper who kept on performing on stage while 10 people in the audience were dying.

[-] Darohan@lemmy.zip 19 points 2 months ago

Not even, I fear - Matcha Latte is tea.

[-] Dreaming_Novaling@lemmy.zip 9 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

You don't know what Dubai and chocolate are? I didn't know Lemmy had literate toddlers!

That’s the toy people are so obsessed with? Call me old or something but wtf is the deal with this shit.

[-] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 25 points 2 months ago

They are ugly (apparently in a cute way) and they come in those blind packages like trading cards. There are different colors, some of which are supposedly rare.

There are a million of these stupid blind box toys now, and this one just happened to get popular on tiktok or something.

[-] cepelinas@sopuli.xyz 11 points 2 months ago

It is probably just me but that shit belongs in a mascot horror game, it is terrifying.

[-] Lumisal@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

You're not the only one.

Now, as a skeptic myself, I say you don't have to really take much stock into what I'll say next, but multiple people I know who claim to be psychic (9), of different ages (18-56), if different religions/spirituality, all eerily said the exact same thing when I asked them (first jokingly, then out of curiosity) what they thought of Labubus.

And each one, first thing they said was "the creator made a deal with a demon". Not necessarily that the thing itself was evil (although they all got bad "vibes" from them), just that the popularity was a result of that, specifically.

I did inquire if they thought the same about previous fads (such as garbage pail kids) but they said no, just this one.

Now obviously correlation doesn't mean causation, and this sample size is tiny. I only thought it was a peculiar anecdote.

But, if there were to be a Faustian bargain to be had, fueling the climate and plastic pollution crisis via plastic figures sold in a gambling and predatory capitalistic manner does seem like something a demon would do lol.

[-] Paper_Phrog@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

The real question is why you claim to know so many people that claim to be psychic?

I don’t see the appeal but to each their own ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[-] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 months ago

Nor do I. Beanie Babies were cuter and at least you knew what you were buying.

[-] breecher@sh.itjust.works 20 points 2 months ago

There is never "a deal" with this sort of thing. It is all hype all the way down, this time combined with gambling. In some not so distant future thriftstores will be flooded with these things.

[-] Entertainmeonly 8 points 2 months ago

I think its all manufactured hype. Likely no one is actually buying these things, not even the influencers. Market your product as the new craze and watch people cattle along.

[-] ChairmanMeow@programming.dev 3 points 2 months ago

I've seen the lines, people do buy this junk.

[-] OozingPositron@feddit.cl 25 points 2 months ago

Like it's some sort of 7th gen fighter.

[-] vivendi@programming.dev 8 points 2 months ago

Tbqf this shit sounds like some GenZ MK-ULTRA project being worked on in skunkworks

Next up, the skunk joins that unholy LSD trip fusion

This doll looks so hideous. It's the manifestation of those creepy dolls from your grandma's house you get nightmarea from.

Remember when he refused to stop his concert while people were literally being trampled?

How does this dude still have a career?

[-] caesaravgvstvs@feddit.org 15 points 2 months ago

"Is reportedly in the works"

How hard is it to develop a recipe with basically three ingredients (it better not have soggy knufe) for a small local grocery chain?

[-] ZkhqrD5o@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

As a child, I remember, one of my friends had asked me to get into "GoGos", some small plastic figurines that were absolutely worthless. Well, I used my pocket money to buy two figurines. Same loot box/playing cards trash. You didn't know what you were buying unless you take the plunge.

After having saved up for two weeks, I finally bought them, only to hear my friend giggling while saying saying: "Oh you're still into GoGos, they are so out!"

Two weeks ago, this guy hyped them so much up for me and all of the cool things that we could do with these worthless injection molded plastic figurines and now, he pretended as if it was silly to have them. Ever since then I have participated in exactly zero fads. Luckily I was vaccinated against these types of scams as a very young child.

Needs more Skibidi Toilet and Italian Brainrot references!

[-] piyuv@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

I believe skibidi toilet already fell out of popularity

Can you serve it in a Prime bottle please?

[-] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 6 points 2 months ago

Dumb consumerism. Nothing ever new under the sun.

can it be stored in a stanley cup?

[-] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Sure, if you're a member of the National Hockey League's Florida Panthers.
