For me, there were several dollar store trinkets that already broke, and one toy for my kids that was a huge sparkly styrofoam mess waiting to happen, so I threw it out rather than curse anyone else with it.

    Do you happen to have pictures/videos? I can’t imagine what you’re talking about.

      Of the mess, no. But here’s a pic of Satan’s abomination…

      It’s basically tiny styrofoam balls that stick together, I think it’s mostly static electricity holding it together. Once you open the package, and start manipulating the biodiversity hazard, it leaves little pieces of itself everywhere.

      Much like herpes, and just as welcome. In my case, Satan was feeling extra cute so there was glitter mixed into the packaged santorum.

      It’s now day 6 after opening and I guarantee I’ll find little purple and pink assholes around my house

        To give a child something like this as a present you have to either loathe the parents or the environment (or maybe both). And be absolutely sure you will not be in the same house for several weeks because otherwise you will find pieces of it in your own bed.
