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.

No one will ever convince me this article isn’t just marketing

They most likely got paid by someone to write this, yeah.
Most people that write articles are paid to write them.
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.

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). /rantI 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

What if they’re Trump sized hands?
Oh look, a bunch of polluting plastic designed to be used once and then trashed
used once
I’ll use it until the spines wear down.
I’ve already used it multiple times. My popcorn intake has increased drastically.
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.
