Labubus were always a cringeworthy fad, equivalent to the modern day beanie babies.

Zero value, fuelled and pushed by celebrities far and wide and they are not even rare to begin with.

Maybe I wasn't in the circle enough, but I felt like there was never even the pretence of resell value or "investing". But that they were more like wealth flex fashion items.

But what if a beanie baby was also a random drop? Then they'd be faddish and addictive!

  • I hope some future society is almost unanimously appalled at what we today treat as "normal" for advertising and gambling dark-patterns.
