1
Well, well, well, would you look at that.
2
You called me short, and you were right,
3
but then you called me stupid,
4
and you were right again.
5
You were wrong, however, when you called me crazy for sounding the alarm on the mind control
6
that the TikTok zombies are falling victim to.
7
Companies have found a way to get inside,
8
worm their way into people's brains like that alien from Men in Black,
9
you know, Orion's belt pulling the levers on that dude's body.
10
These corporations have found a way to control TikTok users' spending habits,
11
to have them spend oodles of clams on actual landfill slop.
12
Products that I know they couldn't move and were probably squatting on so much inventory,
13
panicking, wondering what the fuck they're going to do with it besides just bury it in a landfill somewhere.
14
And then someone hatched the idea,
15
probably after seeing the boo-boo craze.
16
What if we paid influencers to pretend to be hype about it?
17
And this formula of companies sprinkling tiddlywinks of cash throughout a wide array of TikTokers' pockets in order to glaze
18
and get people excited about literal garbage has proven to be a grand slam for these corporations that are peddling poop.
19
It has sparked a fire
20
that has become out of control leading to a raging inferno
21
of just brainless consume consume at all costs come hell or high water go to target and buy the thing
22
this is the latest one
23
with the mystery glitter dumplings because companies have figured out
24
if there is a gotcha element
25
or a blind box mystery element to it people will go
26
ballistic over it no matter what the fuck it is even something like this
27
which is just a absolutely terribly made squishy toy in a
28
lot of these videos people will pick up their uh glitter dumpling
29
and give it a squeeze to celebrate
30
which is the intended purpose instantly blows up like a fucking grenade in their hand this is not a product
31
that a sane society would ordinarily be going ballistic over this
32
would be something you'd see it like the checkout kiosk
33
and be like uh maybe maybe i could use this like a little fidget toy or maybe my kid will.
34
And it'd just be something real quick, real cheap.
35
You throw it on the counter,
36
you don't think about it,
37
and it ends up in a closet for 20 years.
38
But because companies have wisened up to the spending habits of TikTok where they realized what everyone else with eyes has realized,
39
that people will buy anything if they think it will help them get views
40
or fit in with what's popular at the time.
41
So the little trend starts,
42
and this is not organic by any means,
43
but the little trend starts where you open the glitter dumpling
44
and you turn your head and you either get a boring static color like green or you get the super rare,
45
super exciting glittery dumpling.
46
And brands obviously want to elevate the intensity of it.
47
So if you get one of the commons, you got to scream.
48
You have to go crazy.
49
No, it's terrible.
50
You have to convince your toddlers to say,
51
fuck this, or shit, damn, that kind of stuff.
52
You got to get them swearing because it's so intense.
53
And if you get the glittery one,
54
that's the best moment of your life.
55
That's more important than marriage.
56
Like, that is the biggest event that's ever happened in your life.
57
And then people see that,
58
they're like, okay, I'll participate in this.
59
I'll go out and get fucking 50 of them,
60
a whole palette like that one girl there with the glitter.
61
you can see like an entire box a case of glitter dumplings as she's trying to get
62
that pull for the sake of the tiktok it's very clearly artificial these companies have products like this
63
which is trash
64
and i imagine they've had it for a long time this
65
isn't a unique product this is something that's existed since i
66
was a kid back in the stone ages you know fucking 20 years ago
67
but back then this was something you'd find it like an arcade where
68
if you didn't get enough tickets to get the actual item you want,
69
well, you'd get this and maybe a stick of gum.
70
So these companies have squatted on shit like this for a long time,
71
but they found a way to repackage it using TikTok influencers,
72
spreading out money and making a trend out of it that has just gone bonkers for them.
73
Just being able to hawk this of all things
74
and people buy it and convince themselves that it was fun and a good purchase.
75
The ones that are unpaid,
76
by the way, The actual,
77
like, paid promotions of this,
78
they don't give a fuck.
79
It is obviously fake.
80
It is part of the brand deal.
81
But it convinces normal people to also participate as well in order to get some views,
82
participate in the trend, you know, feel included in it.
83
Wow! o OK ready i got the desperate!
84
This is the future of products.
85
Like, I'm saying that genuinely.
86
Every company is seeing this and has been seeing it and is leaning into it,
87
and it's working extremely well.
88
If it can work for something like a fucking terribly made squishy toy
89
that blows up like half the time someone squishes it,
90
it will work for anything.
91
Again, this isn't some new toy or new invention only made possible in 2026.
92
This has been around for decades,
93
and it's something you couldn't give away for free.
94
Nobody would want this.
95
And everyone in these videos also most likely doesn't actually want it.
96
They just want to participate in this hype train around it of like freaking out
97
if you get the good one or being real mad and real steamed about getting the bad ones.
98
It's not something they're going to use.
99
Anyone that actually wants to use it probably can't even fucking find one at this point
100
because it's selling so much to people on TikTok desperate for attention.
101
But it's inevitably just going in the trash.
102
And the people that are scalping it are also going to have their product inevitably end up in the trash.
103
Land, it's a great time to be a landfill, I'll tell you what.
104
Your tummy's never running on empty.
105
It is constantly being filled gluttonously with shit like this.
106
Because once the scalpers can't move this product anymore,
107
when the trend starts to peter out,
108
no one's going to be buying it,
109
at least not anywhere close to how they were,
110
so they'll end up having to dump it.
111
And this is just another example of how easily companies can control people's spending.
112
All you have to do is convince them
113
that this is like a fun trend to hop aboard and they're willing to open up their wallet for it,
114
even for something as useless and stupid as fucking mystery dumpling.
115
And this is far from an isolated case.
116
In fact, I think there's an even better example,
117
one that I covered recently, which is Neato's.
118
Neato's are just colored shapes that are also just a little squishy fidget toy.
119
There's nothing even gotcha-fied about it.
120
The Neato you want, you get.
121
You go to Target, they have the Neato's.
122
It's not a blind box,
123
it's not a mystery there's not even a gotcha element
124
and yet through the same means of just having some tiktok
125
influencers hype it up like nidos you gotta go get them
126
you fucking you need these in your life right now you're
127
a pussy you're a loser everyone hates you you're ugly you stink
128
if you don't have nidos
129
and through just like this hyping up of nidos artificially people then just started going out to Target
130
and violently getting their hands on Nitos.
131
I was covering brawls at Target over Nitos.
132
People slit each other throats to get their hands on Nitos.
133
And then scalpers found it.
134
So then scalpers started flocking to it and getting pugilistic for Nitos.
135
And now Nitos have made oodles and oodles of cash and they don't even have a gotcha element to it.
136
So it's not even the mystery loot box element of it it's just tiktok told me
137
that this is hype and trendy and
138
well i want to be part of this
139
so i'll go buy a bunch it's
140
that effect of like you're not cool unless you pee your pants you gotta go out there
141
and you gotta get the thing tiktok's talking about you gotta go get it
142
and it works super well and interestingly enough in most cases it appears to be
143
really garbage toys that are actually made for sense
144
that companies have likely been squatting on for years with no
145
way scratching their head trying to figure out how do we get rid of all this.
146
And now they found the answer.
147
They found the solution through TikTok and artificially hyping things up and get people in a spending frenzy for it.
148
There are some good products though that I've seen come from TikTok.
149
Like I know TikTok shop is notorious for a lot of trash,
150
but I actually have seen some good products and I am aware
151
that there are some companies
152
that do actually use it to promote something positive like an actual useful item that is like solid.
153
So I know it does exist but that's not the biggest thing that TikTok sellers are being utilized for.
154
It's for shit like Neato's and Mystery Dumplings.
155
Again Mystery Dumplings fully leans into this.
156
Their branding now is the viral mystery dumpling.
157
Like this is something they have clearly planned for.
158
It was a calculated marketing push through TikTok to get people brainwashed into buying.
159
And it's going to continue.
160
It's working really well, showing no signs of slowing down.
161
So expect more and more neato adjacent and mystery dumpling adjacent and labubu type products to be fucking blowing up here.
162
Anyway, just wanted to yap about it.
163
That's about it.
164
See ya.

练习技巧
在进行英语影子跟读时，建议学习者关注视频中的语速和语调。该视频的说话者使用了一种夸张且快速的风格，因此在跟读时，应该尽量模仿他的语气和感情。可以先从慢速开始，逐渐提高到正常速度，以便更好地掌握发音和语调。此外，结合shadowspeaks技巧，尝试在跟读的同时记录自己说出的声音，回放确认是否已做到提高英语发音的效果。有效的英语影子跟读不仅帮助记忆词汇，还能使你更加流畅地表达复杂的观点。
什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
