Pick Your Stress Relief Weapon

Friday Fun with Uncle ToyNerd is back with episode 13, and this time Ray is putting the stress relief toy trend to the test! The fidget toy evolution has been something else — from the mystery rainbow squishy dumpling to the clickety Meiji chocolate bar by Bandai to what Ray brilliantly dubs the “infinite dragon egg” (not its real name, he admits), there’s no shortage of gadgets promising to melt your stress away.

But do these toys actually relieve stress? That’s the big question TheToyNerd is putting to his audience. Each of these three picks has its own satisfying quirk — the squishy, the click, the satisfying loop — and they’re all genuinely fun to fidget with. Watch the Short above and vote with your conscience: which stress relief weapon would YOU choose?
