Few things in life are as satisfying as popping a great big zit.

The feeling of release as the skin bursts and a volcano of puss erupts is second to none.

Which is why so many of us are obsessed with Dr Pimple Popper videos – it’s just as incredible to watch as it is to do it yourself (and there’s the added benefit of not having to mutilate your own skin).

And now, dear friends, you can have the best of both worlds.


Because someone’s come up with a toy. A pimple popping toy.

The Pop it Pal, $19.99 (£14.45), comes with a load of fake flesh (available in a light or dark skin tone), a bottle of fake yellow pus, and a filling tool.



And if you run out, you can buy more vials of pus! Thank God!

‘One day, my wife and I were driving down the road,’ says founder Billy Pierce.

‘She said: “How awesome would it be if we could make a pimple that felt real and the pop was huge, just like those videos we watch?”

‘I thought: “You might be on to something Dear.”

‘Maybe, just maybe, this means she would STOP picking on me all the time. Ladies and Gentlemen, I KNOW you know what I’m talking about.

‘So, I spent the next year figuring out how to make it happen.’

And here it is. Wow.
