Flamingo gotta go- why the obsession with shitting toys?

Confused

Why do toy manufacturers keep pushing these crapping toys onto kids? What’s the obsession with shit? Why do they want our children to play with shit?

Delightful.
Kids find poo funny I suppose so it’s guaranteed sales £££.

There’s a range of slime/putty called Unicorn Poo. I had to buy some last year for Christmas. No idea why it had to be called Unicorn Poo though.

Because kids find stuff like that funny. Poo, farts, bottoms - it's all hilarious!

In my day we had a lot of dolls that pissed themselves.

Oh, shit! My daughter would kill for that! 😆

Bleurgh, that's disgusting!

I'm so glad we don't have sky anymore so miss all these awful yet catchy adverts.

My daughter asked for it as her main present. I hate things like this but like everyone else said, kids find it funny.

My DC must be weird. They think it’s gross. Same with that doggy doo doo one from last year.

DD really wanted the vomiting unicorn. I told her Santa wouldn't bring that and supplied no reason. Because it's vile.

My mum gave the kids the shitting dog where you pump the lead and neon putty comes out. My parents thought it was HILARIOUS. I initially did. But the more it happened the more disgusted I was by it. I don't know why. It just lost any humour and slipped into gross pretty quickly.

I refuse to let shitting slime toys into the house. Sets off my boak sensors.

(I'm normally fairly laid back)

OMG
I would have wanted this as a kid for sure!
