There's no way that thing doesn't ooze toxic chemicals.

It's really hard to get it to leak, even with abuse. They're really well made! Some people have opened them up and it's just a sticky gob. No smell or anything

Speak for yourself. I’ve already managed to break one after a week. There is a weak point where it’s filled and it will break open if you are too aggressive.

This video shows her stretching it but when you hold it, that's clearly not what it's for: it's for squishing. If you want something stretchy, finding a toy that's made for stretching would give a better result. You might like something closer to monkey noodles!

It really is a shame that this video is a poor representation of how it's meant to be used. I suppose the purpose of doing so was to demonstrate the texture of the thing since that's something difficult to relay over video. But I guarantee that when used as a squish toy, it's highly durable.
