Poopsie Slime Surprise Unicorn: MSRP $49.99
Available at Amazon | Walmart | Target
Sell Out Risk: 10
Nothing makes a parent more vulnerable to self torture than Christmas. We treat our budget like a free grocery store balloon, allowing it to raise higher and higher until it disappears into the clouds. We binge on sugar and fat laden foods, often eating fudge for breakfast and replacing dinner with eggnog and mulled wine.
We somehow forget that our child’s slime obsession is pure torture, that we have been putting in our contact lenses with tap water, shaving our dry, un-lotioned legs with bar soap, have coordinated a full blown search party to locate the containers to store leftovers, and had to purchase an extra recycling bin to hold all of the empty glue bottles. But hey, it’s Christmas! Your child LOVES slime, so why not take it a step further and add a slime pooping unicorn to the mix.
The Poopsie Slime Surprise Unicorn is predicted to be one of the hottest toys of the year and is already sold out online. You can monitor Amazon stock HERE, and you may also have luck in-store at Walmart and Target.
