Throughout life, there are many trends that surface every once in a while, and as of right now, the toy obsession with Needoh is the biggest hit across many generations. Needohs are a brand of fidget toys that are mainly made of a squishy material and produced by the company Schylling. Their biggest hit is their nice cube product, which is basically a handheld squishy ice cube that comes in sizes such as the Nice Ice Baby (small), Nice Cub (medium), and Nice Berg (large). They also have other various types of squishes such as an ice cream cone, jelly fish, pizza, snowball, Easter eggs, conversation hearts, cats, fuzzballs, and even more. They roughly cost $3 to $5 for smaller ones, $6 to $8 for medium ones, $14 to $16 for giant ones, and $20 to $30 for multi-packs. Currently, most stores are usually sold out of them once they get restocked.
Bethany Stufflet, a senior, has known about Needoh’s since middle school. Back then, they were not as popular, but she had what was considered to some people the original one, the groovy glob. When the craze for them started, she really wanted the nice cube, which her friend got her at the Park City Mall. She has not gone Needoh hunting, but she does look for them every time she goes to the store. Currently, she really wants the fuzz ball one.
Maddie Handwerk, also a senior, heard about Needoh’s on TikTok. She had found her nice cube at Walmart, which she now has multiple of. She has gone Needoh hunting a few times but has been unsuccessful in finding any good ones. Currently, she really wants the jellyfish one.
Ultimately, many students find Needohs to be satisfying as well as fun to hunt for in stores. There is no idea how long this trend will continue, but right now, they are the hottest commodities for kids, teens, and adults.
