Having been subjected to at least six hours of Peppa Pig this weekend (no, literally, and most of it was on a loop), I've seen a lot of ads for toys and games I've never heard of (which actually made me quite sad) but this advert blew my mind. Why on Earth is this a thing? A game for children in which the objective is to collect more dog sh*t than other players.
WHAT.

Oh yeah, this "game" been around for a while now. Like... at least 15 years. Goliath games are particularly bad.
There's another "game" that revolves around slapping whipped cream in your face. The commercial doesn't elaborate. It doesn't explain if there's anything involved more than just slapping whipped cream in your face. It's just buying this small catapult device.
The adults that complain about little kid games like Candy Land, haven't looked into how mindless the other games are.

Peppa Pig is a horrible wee arsehole. Doggie Doo is indeed a strange game. Pie Face is the game you're thinking of Jetty, there is a small objective to it but it's mostly irrelevant.

Pie Face won the British Toy & Hobby Association Best Toy of the Year Award and was one of the best selling toys in the UK in 2015.
Doggie Doo disturbs me but not as much as Silly Sausage.

Oh Frak Me, Doggie Doo is stupid. There are many games advertised that really don't need to exist. Googey Looey or whatever it's called is another one. Some toy designers seem to think children are idiots.

Whoah hang on. That's not realistic. Where are the gloves? Don't teach kids to pick up doggie poop with their bare hands!
