“Pimples, poops, farts, and slime” are taking over the toy aisle this holiday season.

“Pimples, poops, farts, and slime” are taking over the toy aisle this holiday season. Gross-out toys’ ability to elicit a fun-to-watch reaction from popular YouTubers is behind the rise of the toy trend. Mattel, Spin Master, and Hasbro have all released poop-themed toys, with the latter saying that sales of their Don’t Step In It game tripled from September to October. But that’s not the only bodily function you’ll see this season: games like Pimple Pete are capitalizing on the success of pimple-popping YouTube videos. (Vox)
