    I had a toy dog that twice my size as a kid. I named her Lady Bird after a dog in a cartoon but I can’t remember what cartoon it was. It had short brown faux fur and it was the that rough, “fiber” feeling that a lot of vintage plush toys have. The body and legs was sewn into a laying down position as if the dog was laying with its lower body twisted (like a lot of big dogs do). It was covered in cigarette burns and smelled like cigarettes, alcohol and marijuana. I miss that plush…

    I remember having a bee pillow pet. (& yes I named it buzz from Toy Story) My sisters had this unicorn one & the dolphin. there was also an firefly & ravens one. (since we had that since we were kids) We still have them & sure the squishmellows are cool but after seeing this wow this is really something. But I’m surprised that you made a video of one of my childhood things. I love looking at the past & thank you for making this.

    Pillow Pets are still cooler than Squishmallows because most Pillow Pets have soft fur and you can fold/unfold them. I already have 2 Pillow Pets and I'm considering adding a 3rd one to my collection.

    Growing up I wanted a pillow pet so bad but my family was pretty poor at the time so I didn’t get one for a while, but I finally got a ladybug pillow pet that I loved so much. However many years later when I moved out, my mom got me a strawberry cow pillow pet and I’ve slept with it almost every night since. Probably my most cherished item

    i always wanted a squishable growing up but they were really hard to find online/internationally. it's a shame they never took off as much as squishmallows did and never really reached the same scale :(. i preferred the slightly firmer stuffing of the squishables & i liked how diverse they are in the general shapes/sizes without compromising on their Vibes on the other hand, im glad they're not insane mass collector items now at the least- i looooove my plague doctor squishable so much

    I had a dolphin pillow pet when I was a kid that I loved and used until it was absolutely destroyed! As an adult, I haven't gotten into squishmallows at all (I think their designs are a little too minimalist for me), but I do have a couple of official sleeping pokemon plushies that work great as pillows! I have a big sleeping Pikachu thats more like a traditional pillow, and a smaller sleeping yamper thats really easy to hold. I think it's interesting to see when brands choose to collab directly with throw animal companies, and when they decide to try and make their own version of the product and see how successful it is.

    I’ve had the same Pillow Pet Night Light (purple butterfly) since 2013. There’s battery acid on the inside and the button doesn’t click anymore, so you have to press it just the right way to turn it on. Still works just fine, lol. Needs batteries every once in a while, but that’s normal, and when there’s new batteries inside it’s pretty blinding. Also, I own about four Squishmallows, but I can see why people would like them and why they’re so popular. I mean, they’re cute, marshmallow-shaped animal plushies with smiley faces on them. What’s not to like? Edit: WAIT THATS WHAT THE VELCROS FOR TO MAKE IT INTO A PET🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
