Fidget spinners have finally made their way to Japan and stress-relieving goods continue to enjoy popularity here. Anything you can pull or squeeze generally fits the bill, as we've seen just recently with these cute mini shiba inu face toys.
At the same time, the currently trending kimokawaii (gross/ugly and cute) aesthetic, responsible for things like these cute but creepy cat manju dumplings, for example, also seems to have carried over into the stress toy market.
Illustrator and Twitter user @KooShe94 was in for a surprise after coming across this particular toy, since the gross factor is not immediately apparent, as you can see in this picture.

Squeezing its sides forces some kind of slime out from a slit in the mouth which is not clearly visible at first sight.
