Everybody Poops, Therefore "Poop is for Everyone"
New poop - theme d toys are "all the rage" right now
Poop toys are making quite the stink in the market these days.
Due to the popularity of the poop emoji, potty - related toys
are all the rage. From plastic poop flying through the air to
clay - like poo you'll want to avoid stepping in, the array of
toilet humor games is thick. If you're a collector you may enjoy
Poopeez squishy collectibles aimed at 7 - year - old boys.
Creator Ashley Mady believes, however, that it will appeal to
girls soon as well. "We really believe poop is for everyone,"
she says. Well, that's a relief.
