She’s not messing around.
Emily Skye, an Australian fitness trainer and model, is warning parents against buying toys she regrets giving her children.
The mother of two posted a video on TikTok to share which products to skip on kids’ wish lists this holiday season.
“I made a big mistake,” she said in the clip.
Skye explained that she bought her kids sticky dinosaur toys that you can put on your finger and fly through the air.
However, while the rubber innovations have led to fun play for her children, it has caused a cleaning nightmare for their mother.
“They’re now stuck in my ceiling and I can’t for the life of me get them down,” Skye complained, noting that she doesn’t have a ladder high enough to reach them.
She then dropped the camera to show some small dinosaur toys attached to the high, white ceiling of her house.
Some eventually fell – but not without leaving a mark. Each toy leaves a greasy stain on the house that Skye won’t be able to wipe off easily.
Eventually, Skye’s helpful husband stepped in and made a makeshift device to clear the toys from the ceiling.
And Skye isn’t the first person to be fooled by seemingly harmless toys.
“My kids got lizards in a party bag and the color transferred — so we ended up with colorful lizard shapes on our ceiling,” someone commented on her video.
“I also have these on the roof”, confessed another. “They leave sticky marks.”
Others even claimed that similar products removed paint from their walls or stayed on for years.
But Skye’s decision to buy the sticky animal toys is nothing compared to Mattel’s mistake of accidentally printing a URL for a porn supplier on the boxes of their “Wicked” doll collection.
Of course, there was a benefit to the smut site, which saw a huge increase in visitor traffic in the wake of the otherwise non-“Popular” mix.
