Rating 15 VIRAL FAKE & REAL Fidet Toys From Tiktok

[@Shake_Shark]

When my grandmother took my sibling and I to the Smithsonian museum when we were really young, I was maybe eight, she let both of us each get a little souvenir. I picked one of those flowers and it was SO FUN! A few of the little bendable wire things that wrap around the petals and hold them together broke over time- I played with that flower for years, after all- and each time one broke my grandma just kept some bread twist ties on hand and she'd have me colour the tie with a Sharpie, then snip it down to size to replace the broken wire. Worked like a charm, I loved that thing so much.

[@dixierae3442]

I wasn't going to watch this video Because to be honest I'm not into fidgets and i'm getting kind of tired of topic. With that said i'm so glad I did because I was so touched by your lovely story about time spent with your Grandmother. She sounds like an amazing Lady, my guess is this was only one of many fabulous memories that you have with her. I encourage you to share them because they truly are a delight. I never was fortunate enough to have a relationship with my Grandmother's and i'm positive that my life would have been a much more joyful Place if I had. Hugs to you and your Grandma. 😊❤

The fidget “flower” is actually a hair accessory. It’s a bun cage and you can create different looks, ponytails and buns, with it.

[@Psycul]

How? It looks like it'd get tangled easy

[@nikkienix884]

​@lillysparrow it definitely does get tangled quickly! I use to have then in early 2000s. They still sell them at Renaissance fairs!

[@lillaugle8338]

This one is also a very low quality one would not use it for hair but the cheap one fine for fidgeting with

[@Shake_Shark]

Wasn't originally designed to be a hair accessory, it was multi-purposed into that around the late 90s and early 00s, but pre-00s in the late 80s and early 90s they were used as more of like simple STEM toy type things. They were sold mostly in museums and zoos and stuff back then!

[@captainyarrr7855]

Most products are sourced from china, so if you buy from the source directly for cheaper is it really a knock off? Your basically buying it for what companies buy at a manufacturing price per item so most the time the legit product is just up sold on the market for a higher price so they can make money. This is just my experience from working at a retail store and knowing how ordering products in bulk go. I buy stuff from Aliexpress and often times the cheaper items are slightly different then the real ones but I think that's just due to how much they manufacture the product. I certainly would rather pay 3$ for a fidget bubble thing than 18$ for nearly the same thing.

[@MiracleSword]

This is a great point. I have some hobbies that are more popular in Southeast Asia than in North America, and if I buy from AliExpress I’m getting the exact same item that’s being resold for 2-3x as much on Amazon or Etsy. There are definitely some things that are cheap knockoffs of higher quality items, but sometimes the product was cheap to begin with and you may as well just pay what it’s actually worth.

[@thinkerdreamersketcherspy]

This. In local markets you usually pay more for packaging and branding, not the item quality. In some cases companies have it in their contracts that the manufacturer can't sell the *exact* same product to others or on their own, but usually the manufacturers produce & sell another variant that's just the teeniest bit different. For example, in foods the brand name might have oregano and basil, but the private label version has just oregano; in toys only the brand name can be red/round/something.

[@mewtwomotherfuka]

You dont know that materials are being used in them. Some weird substance. Who knows?

[@jaroy4]

Oh

[@thinkerdreamersketcherspy]

@@mewtwomotherfuka yes, you don't know what materials are being used in any of the products you buy. Very few products/materials are tested as a matter of course, most are subject to random testing if anything. Personally I have a list of product (types) I wouldn't buy straight from China/other sus sellers just for these reasons.

[@DrBrennan]

With the Bandai bubble wrap fidget, the reason for the batteries is that, beyond an extra pop sound , when you press it enough, (every 100 presses) it will ocassionally play a different bonus sound entirely, like say a bell chime or a cat meow. I have one of those...somewhere, and I found I liked playing with with the battery tab inserted-i like the sound and feel of the buttons alone.

[@gack2]

i also have one and it does make the sounds! i don’t think it is every 100 presses though? but i might be remembering wrong anyway i just keep the battery plastic flap in because i don’t want the sounds

[@PinkAgaricus]

It's simpler (w/o all those fidgets she didn't like) as well. Even though it costs more, I'd go with the Japanese one. Of course the cheaper item is more satisfying, it's cheaper, that's why. Though, I think, in this particular case, those extra (not very well working) fidgets were just gimmicky fidgets.

[@Tink2Zoe]

I got excited when I saw the flower mandala. In the early 70's we use to buy them in Guam to use in our hair. Put hair in ponytail and wrap, place mandala over and stick chopstick through to help keep hair in place.

[@secretninja247]

I love NerdEcrafters videos!! I know sika hasn’t been in videos for a long time but while watching the videos sika is in I’m reminded so much of me and my little sister. I’ve been watching her for probably four years at this point and rewatched my favorite videos SOO many times(cash or trash lol) I don’t know if you’ll see this but I love you Jackie! Keep up the good work! 💜

[@SailorMoonX420]

You just unlocked a memory from my childhood with that mandala flower. I had one when I was tiny grain and was obsessed with it until my brothers broke it. I have to get a new one now.

[@EvilBlackCat]

The mandala flower is exactly like a hair accessory I had back in the early 2000s. I got it at the renaissance fair and I swear I used it as a fidget toy more than I ever used it in my hair. Loved that thing.

[@Coastally]

Mandala flowers were so popular when I was a little grain in elementary school! Mid-90’s. I’m so glad to see them coming back! Me and friends would wear them as bracelets too 🌸

[@ImagineAsylo]

I love the slime spit thing, I had a little alien one I got from the dollar store and loved it so much. My teachers loved it too! I got it when I was in high school (I’m 23 now) so it was before they were viral. It was like a 2 color alien with the same type of slime.

[@KMarien]

I can just imagine: Jackie in a living room watching a movie with her family. A quiet scene comes on and all you hear is Jackie going: EAT IT and the egg *SCHLORP*

[@sarahkoch7557]

I had one of those mandala flower things in the 90s! I used to play with it but also wear it in my hair over a bun!! How fun!

[@echoyaknow1104]

I had a bad day today and was in a crappy mood. Your video came on my home page for the first time in forever and it really helped cheer me up. Thanks for being here ❤️

[@katehalleron4688]

I bought some of those butterflies because I thought they'd amuse my cat, but they just scared her. Mine did fly, though. Just not for very long. I bought one of those mandala flower things at Claire's back in the '80s as a hair ornament, but it does make a nice fidget toy.

[@Coyoteari]

I gotta appreciate the rock, paper, scissors toys acknowledging the playground classic “rock, paper, scissors, gun” 🤣

[@Tatsuemin]

I'm here internally screaming "But Jackie you're doing it wrong!" as you're clicking the Bandai bubblewrap thingy. I may be wrong but there is a small button thing at the side that probably turns whatever the feature that needs the batteries on. You may or may not figured it out until the end of the video so if you did then I will edit it later. Edit: You didn't realize that. AND about the mandala, I used to have one of those back in the 80s, they are quite fun and as I was a child back then I used as a bracelet as well, mine was a light golden color with crystal-like plastic beads, so it really was pretty when I used as a bracelet.

[@pocketlint440]

Through the entire mandala flower segment I was thinking this same thing about being a kid with one. We also did the bracelet thing and sometimes we'd clip them around a hair bun.

[@lucidmelon3599]

that bubblewrap one is pretty good too ngl it's not just clicking noise but also it play random sounds if you play with it long enough I often got toilet sound or random bark out of it lol

[@nikpack1]

I would love it if Jackie did a Top 10 best fidget toys or a recap of all the toys she's loved the most.

[@themaddtatter6679]

Rock paper scissors lizard spock!😂😂😂

[@chipperchipmunk8309]

The Mandala Flowers have been around for decades and you'll still find find some expensive ones out there... Why? Because they sell them as hair accessories at Renaissance Festivals, usually with a pretty hair stick or 2... The rings that can roll around on your arms have been around just as long and also sold at Festivals... What I do find interesting is that since they became mainstream items and given the new category of fidget toy, I don't find them as often at Festivals as I used to... Both items used to have rather large (comparatively) price tags attached as well... Like $20-$30 as opposed to the under $5-$10 you can now find them at...

[@Aghul]

This exactly. I find it weird that anyone would label one of those things 'fake' as if this very same product hasn't been around for literal decades, produced by like a hundred different 'brands'. If one of these was ever a protected design, due to brand/patent laws it wouldn't be anymore now - so it quite literally CANNOT be 'fake'.

[@alicevirtual5127]

Love how jackie keeps mistaking baby toys for fidget toys. Wish the content was back to testing creaft kits, those were fun.

[@sarahl2481]

I've been eyeing the Gudetama yolker for a while now, thanks so much will be adding that to the cart! 😄

To me, I actually like fidgeting this way, putting things in and out ~Jackie 2024😂

[@MarinaAstraAngel]

The D12 squish fidget would be a cool thing to roll for D&D

[@iris6815]

It's funny to see "ring flows" beind fidget toys, I always saw them in juggling conventions. People put them in hoola hoops and do tricks. Pretty nice to look at ❤

[@sharonreynolds1035]

Pat better watch out with you and the unicorn LOL

[@katelinnett9020]

UNICORN WARS!!!

[@WarboysWitch]

The butterflies are quite fun as a surprise in a birthday card if giving to small grains. They don’t need to fly far it’s just the effect. I don’t think they are supposed to be fidgets just cute surprises

[@squeaker4341]

I remember when I was about 5 or 6. So about 20 years ago, I had a bubble wrap pop toy that was like that toy. I wanna say I got it from one of those scholastics sales pamphlets. I also remember having it stolen.

[@tricciavillela]

Maybe the batteries for the bubble wrap thing is for lights? I love your videos ❤

[@gack2]

i have one and it’s not for lights! other than it having an extra click sound with each click but every 50 or 100 pops there’ll be a random sound that plays like a bell chime, a water drop, cars passing by or a cat meow!

[@meowrchl97]

Omg the bubble wrap popper speaks to my soul, AHHH

I had one of those Mandala Flowers as a kid! I loved it because you could do so much with it!

[@sabrinakroesen6791]

The flower mandala thingy had a big resurgence in Toronto in the late 80’s early 90’s, and they were actually decently made. Mine has little metal beads and the metal (appears to be) is a higher quality. Still have it 30 odd years on, and it still moves smoothly!

[@bodegabrit]

I have one of the butterflies and I play with it with my cat !! Hold the bigger end and twist the smaller side! I think that helps with the direction the butterfly flies in tbh!

The flower mandala unlocked a core childhood memory. I had a blue one when I was a kid and completely forgot about it until this video. I don’t remember where I got it either the book fair or Cracker Barrel maybe.

[@edgytrashcan]

For the rock paper scissors fidget toy the “invincible” is actually supposed to be a gun! Its an added element to the game from the saying “rock, paper, scissors, shoot!” Gun beats scissors, rock beats gun, and paper is a draw

[@ItsanEGGsperience]

I just commented something similar to this but I’m used to the gun beating everything and being invincible, which is why we never use it or else every one would constantly use it and there would never be a winner or loser

The Mandala has my heart. I had one as a child in the early to mid 90s. Played with it so much I had about 5 of them! 😅 I loved them and had no idea they still made them. 😊 And I only bought fakes a few times. The major one I remember was a action figure and I could tell right away he was a fake just by the sculpt and paint job as well as a helpful video on KZbin.

I want to see your sister play with the egg slime one xD if her obsession with the banana is anything to go by then she'd be a hoot to watch play this one lol
