There’s something interesting happening with today’s kids. After growing up surrounded by phones, tablets, gaming and everything “on screen,” many members of Gen Alpha are discovering just how much fun it is to get their hands on something real — literally!
That may be part of the reason squishy toys have become such a huge craze.
Squishies are all about the experience. You pick them up. You squeeze them. You stretch them. You listen to them crunch and crackle. And no two types of squish feel quite the same. Some are super soft and slow-rising, while others use ingredients such as Vaseline or coconut oil to create different textures and feels. Then there are the newest crunchy squishies, including wax and clay crunch varieties that add sound and another whole sensory experience.
And collecting them is half the fun!
Kids are coming into Rocket Fizz Soda Pop & Candy Shop Sioux Falls looking for the latest squishy, hunting for a particular mystery dumpling, comparing what they found with their friends and showing off their collections. Instead of simply clicking “add to cart,” there’s something exciting about walking into a store and wondering, What will I find today?
We love being part of that experience.
Squishy trends are changing incredibly fast, and we are constantly watching for what’s next. We’ve gone from classic slow-rise squishies to mystery dumplings, Taba-style squishies, jumbo squishies, crunchy squishies and more — and we’re always looking for the next fun texture, style or collectible that everyone will be talking about.
That also means the squishy selection at Rocket Fizz is never quite the same from one visit to the next. Something you see today may be gone tomorrow, and something completely new may have arrived by the time you come back.
So grab a friend, bring the kids and come on a Squishy Hunt at Rocket Fizz Sioux Falls.
Put down the screen for a while, pick up a squishy, give it a squeeze — and don’t forget to come back and see what’s new!
