For the past few months, NeeDohs have become increasingly popular. Students have brought them into hallways and classrooms, and they are trending on TikTok.
Most stores are currently sold out of these toys because of their positive reviews on social media.
NeeDohs come in many different shapes, sizes, and fillings. Cubes, popsicles and ice creams can be either sugar-filled, which are hard, or oil-filled, which are watery.
NeeDohs are designed for stress relief, anxiety reduction and sensory stimulation.
They are also a fun toy to keep people entertained.
“When I am stressed out and need to focus, I pick up a Needoh,” junior Camille Barnnett said.
It isn’t just students who enjoy NeeDohs; teachers also find it satisfying and stress-relieving.
“Yes, I love when students bring them in, and I get to squish them,” math teacher Angie Bailey said.
Most teachers do not find a problem with their students using them during class, as long as they are being mature and smart with them.
“As long as they are using them discreetly, I’m usually okay with it,” science teacher Josh Amsler said.
NeeDohs are also a fun way to bond with your peers over who has the most popular Needoh.
Along with that, students also drive all over Spartanburg trying to obtain a collection of NeeDohs, seeing who can get their hands on the best ones.
“NeeDohs are fun because it creates friendly competition between you and your classmates to see who can find the best one,” freshman Mattie Cothran said.
