ARIEL Grenade Foam Stress Toy

This is an obvious go-to for a joke gift, so that’s how it ended up at my house. I was skeptical about it fluffing back out after a good squeeze, so the first try was more of what you’d do to check fruit ripeness. After it immediately re-plumped, I was encouraged enough play with it for several minutes before remembering that I bought it as a gift. Oops. I don’t imagine it will hold up against months of constant use, but I’d still say it’s a worthy purchase. Besides, handing your loved one a grenade is satisfaction enough (I mean, I love you!)

Used this as a gag in our weekly meeting. It went over so well, my XO stole it from me.

loved them my kid is in the army and i sent them to him. all of his friends keep taking them.

This is one (1) foam stress toy. Cute and works, picture is misleading.

I use this for plasma donation. I needed something to squeeze while donating. Works great and gets softer after prolonged use.

Donating blood platelets at the Red Cross requires that you squeeze all during the donation for the donating arm. There are a lot of different squeeze toys at the donation center, but people say this is the best one.Maybe because it is a Dept. of Defense design where they spent zillions on ergonomics to exactly fit the hand. ( For some reason folks do not quite make the connection here when I point this out.)With a triple platelet donation, you are squeezing for about 2 hours, so something that fits is nice.Now if the Red Cross would just supply these to their platelet donation centers. With all the donations they collect, you would think they would not cheap out on the squeeze toys (but they do).

My daughter’s boyfriend is doing his initial military training, which can be kinda stressful. This was a fun edition to a goodie box I sent him. I saw him squeezing it while on a FaceTime call with my daughter!

I just opened the pack to use it and within seconds it's broken.
