Honest advice

A public warning has gone out that fake Labubu dolls might be dangerous with choking risks for children although all I have seen on TV is adults clamouring to buy them.

Why is anyone surprised that fake dolls might be poorly made and thus could fall apart? Being fake isn't dangerous by itself as we have seen not seen many deaths by faked Vuitton, Prada, Gucci, or Chanel handbags but who knows what the future holds?

What might also be fake is the value for money as the dolls, real or fake, are just the latest fad toy that everyone must follow until they eventually end up in the bottom drawer or the family pet chews them.

Did anyone else spend too much money on a Pet Rocks or a now long dead Tamagotchi, some Cabbage Patch Kids or even a yo-yo? The only way worthwhile one was the Rubik's Cube, still occasionally tried and failed. If you have more money than sense please give it to a charity.
