Promising review: "I saw one of these on TikTok and I liked the way it sounded so I obviously had to have one. Upon receiving my daughter decided to name him stinky Earl. I love the way stinky Earl sounds it literally scratches an itch you didn’t even know you had when you hear him. Would highly recommend him as a fidget toy." —Ali
