They are cute, both the blue and the pink. And when you squeeze them, they make sounds, and this is where the name Squeemie Wow! Squeeze Toy comes from (yes, "squeemie" means "squeeze me"). But if that's all there was to them, they wouldn't be so different from your average dog chew toy: what makes these squeeze toys special is that they're smart and respond to your pressure in different ways, depending on the mode you choose. All you need to do is feed them three AAA batteries and adjust the pressure.
The four modes allow you to manipulate the sounds the Squeemie Wow! Squeeze Toy makes. It can be just squealing different phrases and words at different volumes and pitches, or a scale played along one or two octaves for making your own music, or it might be one of the 14 preset songs that are in its memory. Or one of the two games that can be played between two or more players, where the one who makes their Squeemie say "Dame!" ("bad" in Japanese) wins. Who knew a squeeze toy could be so much fun?!
