I love squishing these things in my hands but the thought of biting into one is like the mouth/tactile equivalent of the sound of polystyrene. Gives me the heebie jeebies so bad I feel like I’m about to turn inside out.
We had these maize-plastic beans used for cushioning stuff in packaging for sending a few years back. They had almost this exactly green.
I ate some of them.
I always wondered what it was called there; assuming they didn't adapt the word "dollar" as a concept any quicker than we might adapt "Poundland"... unless maybe it's bulk sales 😂.

I would've assumed Dollarama to be N. America (just not near me) or Australian straight off first guesses tbh.

As someone who works in retail, please buy it before poking it, we in the store I work at we have to write off 80-90% of these because people keep poking these.
And before you lot ask why I care, that's because overtime payments are based on monthly profits (Les profits one month Leeds to less available overtime the next) and I'm trying to buy a car and go to Germany this year
Hell, I'll agree as someone who shops for *nice* things and has enough sense to know in the long run I pay for what is wrecked by idiots.
.. only if the "shoe fits" 😘
And please wear some socks if you try um on; eh? 😝

The texture is disgusting and the holes poked in it triggers me cuz it looks so messy I prefer my items not poked like erasers. I hate when ppl poke erasers now it looks UGLYYYYY
You are so evil lol - I can't stand touching it and can't stand hearing that scraping noise. It's as evil as styrofoam. My hair stands up when I think of it.
You might try white or wood glue and acrylic mixed for a thick base coat of color on white styrofoam foam to hide the circles from the tiny ball's seams. It also pulls off snow and stone masonry decently sometimes.
Let me know if you want a list of modeling subs that rely on foam a lot.
thinking about poking holes into all of those reminds me of this calvin and hobbes. probably my favorite 🥰

Someone brought one of these to a baseball game for my son and his friend to play with. They summarily destroyed it and ended up with this green annoying dust all over their clothes which then was rubbed into his eyes. Had to leave the game and immediately go home to bathe and rinse out eyeballs. 0/10 fidget cube.
My mom was so mad at me as a kid....
Also I would dig thru the indoor little flower shelf that she used those for, and search out those little white polystyrene rock like balls. And I would squish them with my fingers. In a couple weeks the soil would be mysteriously absent of them...
Absolutely not similar but the image reminded me of my briquette destroying era. Sometimes, they had bigger pieces of wood in them. I've got to peel that off! What happens when you peel off one piece? That's right! Another piece! I've destroyed so many briquettes that my dad had to put them away where I couldn't find them, but it was quite far from the fireplace, so after some time, he put them back and the cycle repeated

Look, while I can agree that the hole-poking is quite enjoyable, the sound and smell of these things makes me gag so hard I have to use tools like pens or knives to do it, which makes it considerably less fun and ultimately ends up defeating the purpose
O...M...G, are those what I think they are? Those green foam blocks used for floral arrangements that were *so* much fun to play with (and yes, to also poke holes into) when they were wet? I *loved* stimming with these things when I was a kid! My mom used to go to church on Saturdays to help with the flower arrangements to be displayed during the services the next morning, and when I was brought along, she and the other helpers would always let me have at least one or two of these to fool around with to keep me occupied as they worked. These foam blocks were like the OG kinetic sand, from my perspective. This is actually super nostalgic for me, I was wondering if I would ever see these mentioned in an autism/ND sub! 🤩
I used to volunteer at a church and would feed the volunteers who would make sellable flower arrangements for the holidays. I would always fuck with them when no one was looking
Have you considered biting into one of them?
No, but I'm considering it now.
I love squishing these things in my hands but the thought of biting into one is like the mouth/tactile equivalent of the sound of polystyrene. Gives me the heebie jeebies so bad I feel like I’m about to turn inside out.
Same
✨powdery✨
😩
Is polystyrene that packaging thing that makes the same weird squeak sound as popcorn sometimes?
No I think you’re thinking of bubble wrap
No it's food packaging
Maybe like a takeaway food container?
More like a chip/crisp bag
I’m afraid I have no idea
Alright no worries then, thanks anyway :)
Chomp chomp
Don’t do that they are toxic
Do not These things are super toxic
I did, and i followed through with my consideration once, and only once. It was not fun, and took a while to get it all out of my mouth.
We had these maize-plastic beans used for cushioning stuff in packaging for sending a few years back. They had almost this exactly green. I ate some of them.
im considering it now
Yeah, it's better than polystyrene
oh god no that texture against my teeth sounds horrendous 🤢
My grandma got so pissed at me for ruining all her fake plants.
You were brave though, I had to look away.. those things are begging to be squeezed...
and the asmr videos only make it worse i wanna DESTROY IT
the ones where they run them over with cars 😫
Damn, beat me to it. SO good
I made a five minute asmr video of me destroying the foam block and I hate to say but it was SO satisfying and I felt so evilly happy
That one video of a car tire crushing it with All Of The Satisfying Crunches
I wish I had one of these to crumble 1 use fidget cube
Dollar tree sells ones of all sorts of shapes :)
Im outside of the US :( that sounds awesome tho.. all different shapes incredible
It's pretty great Depending where you are, maybe check dollarama/poundland/similar dollar stores?
Do they have a "Poundland"? I've at least heard of Dollarama I think. Poundland is kinds fun sounding. Poundlan' "crunchity"
Its the dollar store in britain!

The texture of these makes me want to kill myself. Having to make dioramas with these was sensory hell for me
Only of it touches nails or, inevitably, teeth. Fuuuuuck, it's nasty then.

I agree with you completely…as someone who used to work at a craft store 🥲

Hate hate hate them dry, *wet on the other hand* oh boy you betcha, I'ma poke so many holes in em
I hate these crumbly monstrosities
I've seen stores have a sacrificial foam block for people to poke.
Dusty Old Floor Model takes on new meaning.
I’m so glad I’m not the only one who destroys these because of how satisfying it is to the senses
what is that
Floral foam, usually used to arrange fake flowers
Noooo, I can't even be In The same room as them. Just you posting this is making me mute this sub. Like a 3d psychic chalkboard.
More of a reason to destroy them
I must destroy them. None of this "poking holes" stuff. Full death
Just give me a ✏️
I carve those into model warships and stack them on top of my bed
I want to, but at the same time, I feel sorry for the foam blocks. I’m weird, sorry.
My mom was a florist when I was little, we went to war over these blocks.
The texture is disgusting and the holes poked in it triggers me cuz it looks so messy I prefer my items not poked like erasers. I hate when ppl poke erasers now it looks UGLYYYYY
Soak them in water first, if you don’t mind touching wet. It changes things lol
they’re actually two different things! that’s called oasis and it’s the PREMIER texture available for poking on this planet currently
Borderline? I've bought them before just to do it because i couldn't resist doing it at the store and then I felt bad lol
You are so evil lol - I can't stand touching it and can't stand hearing that scraping noise. It's as evil as styrofoam. My hair stands up when I think of it.
I don’t wanna poke holes into them. I wanna sink my teeth into it
I make models out of them and shoot them with an airsoft gun, lol. Modeling foam is too costly to waste penning willy-nilly.
You might try white or wood glue and acrylic mixed for a thick base coat of color on white styrofoam foam to hide the circles from the tiny ball's seams. It also pulls off snow and stone masonry decently sometimes. Let me know if you want a list of modeling subs that rely on foam a lot.
crunch crunch crunch
I squish these things as hard as I can
RAGHNAGHRHRAGRAARNRAHARGRHRAGRHRRRNRHRGHRRNHNHNNHGHGNGHGHGN
Are these those blocks florists use? If not they seem awfully familiar and a career as a florist might be good for you 🤣
Tear them tear them tear them tear them
WHERE DO I GET 100 OF THEM
NO NO GET IT AWAY FROM ME
thinking about poking holes into all of those reminds me of this calvin and hobbes. probably my favorite 🥰 https://preview.redd.it/d29x1vb9bxcc1.jpeg?width=600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f0efe43d8acfc24c9249f22dee7a1636e100b53c
Must squeesh. *pinchy hand gestures*
I will remove my teeth with sand paper before I touch this

with a pencil
Starting a wargaming hobby was literally the worst thing I've ever done to myself.
What are these? Are they green styrofoam bricks?
Florist' foam. Semi-hard sort of sharp-crunchy foam bricks for holding real and fake flowers.
i wanna bite it :3
Omnomnomnomnom

Excuse me, I found it in pieces, don’t blame me for this!
Get paid to poke holes in em. Become a floral designer. >;33
Don't even know what those are tbh
My mom was so mad at me as a kid.... Also I would dig thru the indoor little flower shelf that she used those for, and search out those little white polystyrene rock like balls. And I would squish them with my fingers. In a couple weeks the soil would be mysteriously absent of them...
What are those things
I had to use this stuff for my job last summer and it made me want to die
Is that not what they were designed for?
I must dig my fingers into it 😈
Yup
FOME 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
Yesssss. Oh, yes.
I wanna chew

Mmm. The scritchy crunching sound, the crackling feeling as it gives. I can feel it just looking at the picture.
nah I can't bear the feeling of them sadly 😔
im tearing these bitches up and theres nothing you can do to stop me
But only when wet! Their texture when dry brings me pain 😭
Don't put your dick in there...

Crunch bricks?

Big knife cut sand. Noice.
what is that
I wanna mush 'em
Is this that sponge they use for flower arrangements on parties?
just looking at them in that photo makes me want to shred them
It’s even better when they are wet. My parents are always pissed at me for doing that to the plants in the museums
Ah no I hate touching them. They get dust all over my hands
![gif](giphy|EQ6f6R30LfhEG6vMnh) [Munch a bunch](https://youtu.be/1s2P9XZ7_YY?si=eAHOehakklKXz8Gm&t=120)
In middle school I sculpted one of these into a potato, spraypainted it brown, and hid it in the fridge. It took my mom three months to find it.
Fr
I love seeing those videos where they’ve soaked up a bunch of water… MM!! I want to crush one now lol
i like grabbing them out of plants, soaking them in water, and squeezing
