Millennial parents in quarantine are obsessed with the Nugget play couch. Millennial parents have been going to great lengths to keep their kids entertained during the pandemic, and a new play couch has become an obsession. Nugget’s products are microsuede fabric blocks that “form a couch,” but separately can be used for fort building, jumping, and general “toddler mayhem.” It’s become so popular that the manufacturer is having a difficult time keeping it in stock, and resellers are price gouging the item on sites like eBay and Facebook Marketplace. It’s developed a “cultlike following” with moms spreading the word in Facebook groups, and the product’s limited restocks are treated like a “Supreme drop.” (BuzzFeed News)
