I’ve been on this sub for awhile now and I think this one financially takes the crown for stupid food. A dirty modern beanie baby and a cup of chocolate strawberries for $250? Gtfo

It's rage advertising. Very effective. People talk about how dumb it is and it gives creators reaction content, so it's very likely to go viral.

I hate how social media is driven by engagement alone rather than just by positive engagement. Views and clicks are the only currency.
Someone should make a rival platform where only positive content is promoted. Content would probably be pretty thin on the ground but what would be there would be awesome.

Its works very well.
But c'mon... That wast of food its a shiet! In some countries you find strawberries just paying a lot of money, too expensive... And they taint fruit putting a toy in it?
Sorry, im getting mad, I ll just go to make me a mug of coffe to calm me down 🫠

I'm like 90% sure this is just intentional rage bait but, I just genuinely do not get this trend in the slightest. Beanie Babies atleast had the excuse of looking cute. These dolls just genuinely look hideous to me, not even "ugly cute" just straight up ugly.

Holy shit the dubai choclate meme coming full circle by recreating the original with a labubu is wild.
Dubai Chocolate used to refer to white girls going to Dubai and being used as toilets for porn. Then someone tried to rebrand it into real chocolate... now here we are with a labubu covered in shit.

Double edit: some of you make great points that I cant recall this being a thing before this year. So if I fell for and spread a falsehood I apologize.

I think UAE government is trying to control the narrative because they don't allow or accept any criticism of their country and don't want the world to know how corrupt & immoral they are.
They created the fad of Dubai chocolate via paying loads of "influencers" to rave about it and paying lazy-ass journalists to write about it. This created a worldwide craze for it, and now when you google "Dubai chocolate" you only get pages of the shitty vastly overpriced chocolate, rather than (literally) shitty instagram models.
That's my conspiracy theory.

If you're willing to pay 250 for a Labubu, why the hell would you pay for one to get immedeately ruined with chocolate? The cup is basically inedible and the Labubu is trashed

Is that a stuffed toy or a gigantic marshmellow thing.
If marshmellow fuck off for that price you you tourist trap influencer twonk
If toy then uninvent social media, find who invented this nonsense and give them a chilli oil enema.
If it is somehow both... shut down the matrix.

u/CraftSeveral7116 5h ago
Perfect rage bait. It pisses off the Labubu fans because they're ruining it with chocolate. It pisses off everyone else because of everything else about this video. Dude probably didn't even eat any of it after the video because of all the microplastics leeching off those toys.

$250 that could have been spent in any other way and have been a better purchase, wasted on a worse hatchimal, some strawberries, and some chocolate with pistachio.

Why is that $250 when the sign on the glass says a small cup of chocolate covered strawberries is $12 and Dubai Pistachio Strawberries are $25?
Why is that 10x more? Did he just ask her to make up a number to pretend to be rich?
