Today I report on a survey by goo Ranking into what toys and mail order goods people are surprised to learn are still selling.
Demographics
goo Rankings asked iBRIDGE’s Research Plus to conduct this survey, where between the 1st and 3rd of June 2015 500 members, 50:50 male and female, of their monitor group completed a private internet-based questionnaire. No further demographics were given.
I’m surprised to learn about ball-bearing guns still being on sale, as I thought they’d be too dangerous!
I was trying to find pictures of Slime, but that only turned up photos of the monster from the Dragon Quest series of games, so instead here is a Whoopie Cushion.
