THE COOLEST NEW TOY YOU WON’T BE ABLE TO BUY: MAGIC MIXIES

The hottest new toy of the season is something called Magic Mixies, and it’s pretty cool. But they’re already all off the shelves, so good luck finding one. They retail for about $69.99, but online resellers are selling them for upwards of $200. The Magic Mixie is a good-sized magical-looking plastic cauldron. Inside, it appears empty. First, you have to plug in and charge the pot for 90 minutes. Then, you follow the instructions: pour in some water, add some special powder (* which I’m SURE is not harmful) toss in a charm, throw in a special piece of paper on which you have written the name of the fluffy toy, then stir it with a magic wand. Then, the bottom of the cauldron starts to glow, real smoke starts to come out of the pot (* which I’m SURE is not harmful), and suddenly the whole pot jiggles all by itself, and when the smoke clears, inside the pot, there’s magically a little plush toy. So – all that for 70 bucks? Yes, and you can reset the pot to do the trick again and again. BUT – you have to buy refills! Anyway, good luck finding one now.

* So they took the concept of “Surprise Eggs” and added some Satanic trappings.
* Nah, you don’t refill it and do it again and again. You present your kid with their new plush toy then you sell the cauldron online for twice what you paid for it.
* Instead of magic mixing powders, they should just let you light a five dollar bill on fire and toss it inside the pot.
* Can you put anything in the compartment that holds the plush toy? Like an engagement ring? Or your best pot?
