Oh look, a bunch of polluting plastic designed to be used once and then trashed
To be fair, these are novelty promotional collectors items, not really meant to be trashed.
It's different from all the plastic packaging you find on every item in the supermarket, when they ban the one final plastic bag people use to carry all their other plastic bags.
Anything that is made as a "collectors" item is just landfill fodder. It's junk that isn't worth anything. Just look at Funko Pops.
That depends on what you mean by "worth".
Paintings and sculptures aren't really "worth anything" in pretty much the same way.
What's a movie "worth" for that matter?
Paintings and sculptures are individual artistic creations. You might be able to say such things about mass produced replicas, but not art itself.
Art itself could be considered the idea. The individual physical creation would be merely an expression of that idea. Does mass production dilute that idea or it's "worth"?

Just let people be happy and collect their little things. Why are you people so boring
They're not boring, they're in a competition to see who can be the most self-righteous on the internet.

At least in this case it's not going to be trashed, they'll be repurposed
used once
I'll use it until the spines wear down.
I've already used it multiple times. My popcorn intake has increased drastically.
I guarantee somebody knew we'd be sickos about it and the exec just didn't wanna hear it.
I guarantee everyone below the execs knew what this thing looked like, and correctly guessed that the sales would go crazy because of it.
But I don't get it. It's too big and the tips sticking out look very flimsy. How does it stimulate. If anyone used it, please let me know the physics behind it.
It's for meming about using it like that, not honestly doing it.
Hahahahahahahahahahaha, this is why you hire immature idiots like myself. One look and I knew someone would try and fuck it.
I see they've never read further in the dune series, otherwise they'd know this is right on-brand for Dune.
They knew

That would be if you're fucking the guy. This is "shai-hulussy"
The worse crime is looking like the Sarlaac Pit
It just goes to show how disconnected they are from actual reality because everyone saw it immediately. I'm also sure a mod of people realized this before production but didn't say anything because they are just trying to get through their day
Has anyone here penetrated the bucket with their hand or penis? If its big enough for a hand then I don't think it would work as a flashlight..
Even if you're just a bit above average in thickness, then typical fleshlights are way too tight. Especially when you're also a bit above average in length, because then you reach into the thinner end of the "handle", which typically has those plastic struts for stability on the inside. You also will kinda push the soft part out when penetrating because the casing can't fit that AND your dick inside, since they're designed for small to average dicks.
Male toys suck ass in general though, because they wear and tear so quickly while costing way too much, on top of the exorbitant costs of decent lube, because all the water based shit becomes sticky after a minute or so. And don't get me started on keeping that shit clean either because it's like those sticky flobber type kids toys that just gathers up all the dust, fibers, hair, etc.
I honestly envy women in that regard, because wearing a dildo down would take some serious effort, and they have such a huge variety of toys too. You can also easily rinse them down in a sink too and most women easily lubricate themselves when aroused, while also being more flexible in regards to erogenous zones that actually benefit from stimulation like vibrations (a vibrator on a dick does basically nothing).

I must admit I've never bought a flashlight. As a kid I did fuck toilet paper rolls. They're super tight but if you cover the inside with plastic and use a lot of lube, it worked great.
Makes a great gift for that special 12 year old boy in your life.
I especially dislike that last sentence.
Grandpa, you never buy anything for me
(too lazy to change the upvote to blue for lemmy)
If you were able to fit into toilet paper rolls then you'd likely have no issues with the inner sizing of fleshlights.
Speak for yourself 😎
!just kidding 😔!<

not the onion
Time for fleshlight to get in on the action lol.
I'm pretty sure bad dragon already has a sand worm fleshlight.
I, for one, support the mass production of fleshlights to reduce their cost and make them more accessible to the masses
Its no plumbus
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Looking back, it appears the theater chain/increasing novelty popcorn holder vendor might have done things very differently if it knew it was going to become a moment.
We would have never created it knowing it would be celebrated or mocked,” AMC Chief Content Officer Elizabeth Frank told Variety about the overwhelming response to the sandworm bucket, which even got cast and crew talking for its, uh... soft, wormy tendrils, driving people to go crazy with demand for the shai-hulussy-shaped vessel.
The Dune bucket even got its own SNL skit, although Frank doesn’t think that it’s success either means there’s demands for the theater chain to go even more deranged for future buckets, or that the increasing trend of wildly shaped popcorn holders is suddenly a vital part of the company’s plans.
There’s another group of people who are specific film fans, buying three different Ghostbusters products.
I bet the Dune bucket made some other things more fun too, but perhaps we shouldn’t go chasing sandworms looking for another of its kind any time soon.
Check out when to expect the latest Marvel, Star Wars, and Star Trek releases, what’s next for the DC Universe on film and TV, and everything you need to know about the future of Doctor Who.

It made me laugh. But now people want to know what's so funny and....I can't. These are people I work with
