Hey, toy marketer here. I researched these and asked around and turns out they were originally invented by Leonard Shlongson back in the 1941, and were originally meant to clean automobile exhaust pipes. They didn't sell well but he remarketed them as fidget toys 60 years later and were renamed "Wiggle wagglers." I learned all this because I made it up lmao
I was 100% believing you until the last sentence ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
It was believable aside from "schlongson"
schlongsoj :)
this was so believable until you said "i made it up"
That’s the exact same story behind Silly Putty! It was invented on accident and was used as a cleaning tool until it was later sold as a toy
Pongon the type of person to do something mischievous and then start whistling and walking away like nothing happened
Silly goober

They also the type of person to float in the air when they smell a pie
They jump while their eyes bulge out when they get suprised
ur nails, ur hair, ur pj pants, ur oversized shirt, its so *chefs kiss*
i love the style they’re wearing, it’s fire ðŸ˜
This being lives the life I truly wish I could. Living in an ADHD palace, reviewing silly stuff and fidgets for a living, getting to keep all the fidgets you get for the videos… you truly live the dream

I'm the airport person at 2:58. Also I have context.
One time in january this year, I flew to florida for a few days to visit a grandparent. I bought a water wiggler in the local souvenir store, and when I was going through the TSA checkpoint, they held me up because it had water inside of it. I lost the wiggler because of them.
BRUHHH THAT SUCKS

I’m in 7th grade and a girl brought one of these to class this week, we all played with it and everyone was so amazed by it and in English class the teacher took it from her, then it slipped from his hand 3 TIMES onto the floor. It was so funny ðŸ˜
watching polygon dounut's hyperfixations videos just give me an intense feeling of happiness i just cant explain
thank you thats exactly why i make them

Every time I see dinosaur merch like those green water wigglers, I think of that Tumblr post that goes:
"I’m so emotional about dinosaur stuffed animals,,, there are these creatures, extinct long before any of us were alive, but we found their bones and their eggs and their footprints. And we made drawings and models of what they could’ve looked like. And we made them into stuffed animals so we could hold them. We made them soft so we could love them. I’m sobbing"
And honestly it's so real
That's humanity for you! You find something you can't touch or even see with your eyes, and humanity will try to make it real just so we can show them affection.
thats exactly why i love dinosaurs. they were on this same planet for MILLIONS of years and have been extinct for even more millions of years, yet we still know about them. Its like the people who lived in a house before you did. So us finding their bones, theorizing about them, making movies and toys about them, is just so cute. Not even a GIANT METOR could make them become forgotten forever.
Can we all agree that pongon has the coolest painted nails
yes
wait is he trans
@@heckinconcernedkitten61at this point I can’t tell if pongon is gender or not
@@battletapesrecording they use any pronouns, so that gives you an idea
@@heckinconcernedkitten61any pronouns
I held one of these out to my sister once and was like "here hold this" and watched as chaos ensued, the little goober slipping out of her hands over and over.
Then I tried taking it back and it slipped out of *my* hands-
The one and only time I encountered these toys was when my afterschool day care in elementary school did a huge deep cleaning project and bought some new toys, including these. They were all popped within the first day of reopening lmao

I have the exact same relationship as you do with these and a similarly forgotten mobile game.
"Amazing Alex" is a game made by Rovio (anger bird) that released in 2012 and was taken off the app store / discontinued only 2 years later in 2014. It's a silly little 2D physics puzzle game where you setup a chain reaction of events to reach a give goal (e.g. get ball in basket, make book fall on box) set in an average kid's home, garden and treehouse for all of its levels. All the objects were household items you would have found in the average 2000s kids home and each had different properties to make the levels more varied.
I think what part this game plays in my life is very similar to the given topic of this video and I just wanted to share this with anyone who may remember this game as it is HEAVY nostalgia for those who remember, especially the music. you can still get some emulators online for this game.
OH MY FUCKING GOD I PLAYED THAT
@@quicklight7611 glad to hear that
I REMEMBER THAT!!!!! I FORGOT THE NAME OF IT SO I COULDNT FIND ANY EVIDENCE THAT IT HAD ACTUALLY EXISTED!!! I LOVED MESSING AROUND WITH THE PHYSICS!!!!
@@liamwatchesyt1236 niice
I THINK I MIGHT REMEMBER AMAZING ALEX...
these bags were really weird but also VERY SILLY
Very happy to see the Dinosaur Water Wiggler in legendary tier, I had one when I was little and loved it. It must’ve sprung a leak at some point because it gradually lost mass overtime. Those poor dinosaurs got shrink wrapped 💔

I vividly remember going to a ski resort when I was really young on some class ski trip, buying one from the gift shop and then proceeding to slap one of my classmates with it and getting in trouble. Back then I had no name for these other than "squishy bag" or something, now I just call them water fleshlights.
And that's exactly what they are...
I think abt these things almost every week. Thank you for covering them
19:40 these being exist as polygon donut store items would be incredibly silly and whimsical
i have a speech class and my final has to be a persuasive speech and it can be as unserious as possible so i’ll be doing “why you should get water wrigglersâ€. thank you so much for the idea i was stumped
record it
record it (don't break the chain)
Do it
_Do it!_
I had to take a speech class where the final was a persuasive essay as well! I did mine on “why Disney should stop making live action remakes†and my whole class hated it for some reason.
i get that these probably get more views, but i really want more discord events!! they were so fun and i loved how you documented what happened
Dont lie, you tried it
I put it in

THATS AN EMPHOSO!!! 😡😡😡
@@GreenerThanAndrewsTieactually that’s a glaggle, the ends around their mouth are straight, not curved.
I still have a few of these around.
My vivid memory of one breaking was one time my sister and I were staying at the house of our parent’s friends for a week. They were really nice and let us watch TV on their waterbed one night. I was playing with the watersnake and it popped and I felt so bad I was sobbing.
This is by far the most pure and wholesome channel I'm subbed to.
That airport comment dredged up a memory from the dephts of my childhood. I have this vague memory of popping open a water toy to get a plastic dino inside.. now i remember it was a water wiggler and i think i popped it in a public restroom was because we were in a airport.. so weird

I love the little png you have now!! It’s so silly! Also your nails are soooo pretty! I wanna just steal them 🪱
I just bought one from target! though it’s covered in fabric. mine is a shark and a gator. saw em at rain forecast cafe too in fabric
18:26 WONDERHOY!!! I wasn't expecting a Project Sekai reference here, but now that I think about it, Emu really does fit the vibes here.
Pongon the type of person to say FIRE ON THE HOLE when blowing up a house
I get the whole goofy goober thing you were going for, but “fire in the whole†is actually said when detonating explosives, it’s so anyone in the blast radius has a warning so they can get away
@@Java_Protogen yeah I understood but it’s an explosion ether way 🎻🎻
I had that exact dinosaur one until one day I went to grab it from the bottom of my bookshelf and found it deflated and the water just not even there. Idk if it busted and dried before I noticed or if it literally evaporated, but I still loved it.
the funny vtuber png art is fr*ckin awesome

I love this channel so much, so many unique videos and they’re all so wholesome and cozy with a little sprinkle of chaos xD and I love these 2000’s videos as a 2000’s kid so much, aaaaaah nostalgia is the best ☺ï¸
thank youuu 😊
Omygod I had one of these!!! The blue one with the clownfish to be exact, which I had bought from one of my schools book fair when I was in 6th grade. I ended up cutting it open and using the fish for a little tic-tac container terrarium creation I made 😂
4:11 honestly same, I love choosing between different themes!
I absolutely love these water wigglers because there absolutely so fun to fiddle with and there always jiggle right out of my hand but they always make me feel happy and relaxed ☺ï¸
I watched this a while ago while in immense pain and it helped me so so much
the amount of editing in this video is actual eye caffeine I love it sm
i have just remembered that i always used to hate how they kept slipping out of my hand. these things are so silly
I remember one time when I was in a restaurant, my sister was playing and squishing one of these things and slipping it all over the place cause its fun. Then, all of a sudden, GUSH! A giant flow of water emerges from the bag and the whole thing pops. At least she got the smile emojis inside. 😻
I found one of those at an aquarium gift shop, but like, it had fur covering on them and animal and food designs on them
THE FAKE FISH TANK WITH THE 2D PLASTIC FISH THINGS DUUUUUUDDDE MY GOD I HAVE THE FAINTEST MEMORIES OF STARING AT ONE OF THOSE THINGS FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME AT MY PRESCHOOL FACILITY
Recently I found one of these in a box, broken, and I decided to free the little dinosaurs from their containment before I threw it out. They now live happily inside of my silly box (a box full of silly things)
I love how some parts of this video remind me of the Frutiger Aero aesthetic. The Windows Vista/7 visuals, the fishies, and the glossy visuals as well!! :3
If there's water wiggles in my country i might consider buying one.
now I want a water wriggler too💔 and I love your videos they’re comforting to me
I still remember these and they would pop without being touched

I had two of these and both broke in less then a week, I was sad about it for about an hour and than kept the squishy fish and I've had them till this day

I still use and play with these! A lot of people do actually- Theyre just called Water Wigglers mainly of course in the fidget community. Theyre just so fun!!
0:42 I had that exact kind of fish tank lamp in the back, the sorta thing where the image would scroll around the cylinder to simulate the image of an aquarium. i would watch it for a good while. There might've been one with cars too but that one may be a fabricated memory.
14:07 pongom doesn't know that sea snakes are real 🥱
Hi, your videos are quite stimulating I love it! ðŸ˜
i haven't finished the video yet but i really really hope you popped one i wanna see them pop so badd
I swear, polygons videos give me an emotion that doesn’t exist.
That's exactly why pongon created unexciting emotion tierlist!
The :3 emotion
​@@bubblegumCrystal the :³ emoticon
I was obsessed with anything gummy sticky stretchy or could change color so I always payed attention to these. Once I had one shaped like a dachshund full of lil color bones and I loved it literally to bits.
I used to have one of those! It had little plastic dinosaurs inside it. Super fun, but it unfortunately popped. RIP, weird squishy thing. You were awesome.
In primary school, my friend had a SpongeBob one which was literally just his head and she showed it to me and I was so obsessed with it I cried when it was home time cause I wanted one so bad and then I just forgot about it forever until this moment
These are the type of thing that you get in museum, aquarium and zoo gift shops. All is not lost if they burst though, you can keep the little guys once they’ve been released from their infinite watery prison. You should totally start a kickstarter to make those ones you made up, they’re really cool. A thought about them: I wonder if a guy’s ever used them for an alternative purpose? 😉

Gosh I remember these from when I was SEVEN ( so 1992 ) We first saw them in the netherlands and roughly round 1998 they spilled over into germany. I remember them being a very good stimtoy, so I guess I will pick one up when I see one.
The reason why these things are gone is because they actually popped really easily like I got one one time when I was about like four, and when I actually got it, it kept slipping out of my hands. Yeah it kept slipping out of my hands, and there was like glitter in it or not might have no idea what it was, but it was blue. My favorite color is usually redand pop like they get holes in a very easily that’s why they band
One day I just wanted to rent a whole movie theater and watch poly and experience all the silliness on the big screen
I had one that was SpongeBob themed and had glitter in it when I was a child, and all of a sudden, it started bursting, so I threw it away.
NO WAY THERE'S A SPONGEBOB ONE????

I used to have one of these! It was red and didn't have any funny little doodads inside, but it was still pretty cool! I would put coins and Minecraft figures in it.
It's probably still somewhere in my dad's house
I still use these today, the high school I go to has multiple sensory rooms that sometimes have them. I don’t get to play with them that much because they obviously burst a lot but when I do it’s an otherworldly experience, those things are god’s gift to mankind.

HI POLOYGON!!! I LOVE THE NEW CHARACTER ART SM :3
Yesss twila brinkk did an amazing job on those
I had a disney princess themed one! It was pink and had glitter in it. I don't remember if it had figures in it or if there was just photos of the disney princesses on it. But I distinctly remember pooping mine while trying to grip it. There was glitter everywhere, some even got in my face
