But apparently they sell this bullshit in Walgreens. I heard about this thing. But wasn't it some YouTube craze or something? I mean what the hell is this? My kids laughed and would say this phase couple years ago, but didn't think it was mainstream enough to warrant this.

Vinesauce's Vinny got one as a joke. He's made full streams being baffled and trying to understand the trend (one of them with a lengthy tour from a "lore expert"). And of course being amazed that this is probably the only thing for what the G-man face is known to a lot of people now.

But he's got a segment where he opens silly collectibles and blind boxes, so of course he had to get that shit. And uses it as a prop once in a while for a convenient flush sound effect.
