Honestly, I don't see why that thing is so popular. Batteries run out and it will go to the bottom of the toy bin. Worst scenario - dogs chew toy. lol

Another "Elmo" craze is on the way.   :banghead;

When I click on the link it talks about a woman calling 911 to turn herself in for driving drunk?  Then a moose named Pete?

You have to watch the first 2-3 videos and advertisements. Then to the right of the video it shows the upcoming videos. Look for the one that says, ZhuZhu tops 'must have' holiday toy list.  :thumbup;

I'm so disappointed.  I thought it was dolls dressed like Z Z Top....

I took a look at the toys a few weeks ago and I don't get the big deal, either. Once you buy the little hamster, there all of these accessories to buy separately. I have read that the wheels on the pets end up catching in kids' hair, which hurts, and parents can end up having to cut the little rodents off from their kids' heads. Happily, my kids have shown no interest in these.

These crazes are a marketer's dream. My granddaughters don't have TV, so they have no idea!  :clap;
