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.

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 24 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

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

[-] baguettefish@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days 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 days 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 13 points 2 days ago

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

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

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

[-] diemartin@sh.itjust.works 14 points 3 days ago

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

The eldertubbies gonna be pissed when they find out one of their children is being used to sell shitty coffee...

[-] iamericandre@lemmy.world 35 points 2 days ago

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 days 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 days ago

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

[-] Lumisal@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days 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 9 points 2 days ago

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

[-] iamtrashman1312@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

There are three different people who claim to be "sensitive" just in my workplace of like 20 people, I stg like 1/3 Americans believes themselves to have psychic ability of some kind

[-] Paper_Phrog@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

That's hilarious. Never knew it was such a thing in the States.

[-] Allemaniac@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

The US is probably the last foothold christianity really has, where people don't even question wether religion and superstition make sense (ofc not everyone, but there are so many devout believers, cults, split off religions and so on, especially in rural areas like appalachians or rocky mountains

[-] Lumisal@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

I've always thought that interesting too. And I don't find out until we've been friends for awhile, although 3 are family (I have a very large family though, over 60 people I think if we combine both dad and mom's sides).

[-] cepelinas@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 days ago

I do not exactly know what psychic means but I am an atheist and do not think that I actually have any brain issues just that I am kinda dumb and that I have a high chance if dying from brain related issues as not if my grandparents died from brain issues. And the cabbage patch is also pretty bad, but this has teeth things on the bottom of its head that's what makes it belong in horror.

[-] iamericandre@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

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

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

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

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

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

[-] Devconsole@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

I think this is satire.

"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?

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.

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

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

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

[-] Darohan@lemmy.zip 19 points 3 days ago

Not even, I fear - Matcha Latte is tea.

[-] Dreaming_Novaling@lemmy.zip 9 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

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

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

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

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

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 4 points 2 days ago

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.

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

I thought the "Labubu Dubai Chocolate" was a meme, but I should've known better they'd merge the two in a heartbeat.

[-] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 7 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Can you serve it in a Prime bottle please?

Needs more Skibidi Toilet and Italian Brainrot references!
