I'm driven by a determined curiosity to find some reports or people who've actually eaten these raw / undercooked before. It's a fairly common food in some asian countries, so i'm sure there's just GOT to be someone on reddit who's done so & is willing to share their experience.
Back in 2024, I bought a random cheap thruster off of Amazon for $25.
I didn’t know anything about toys at the time and just sorta started using it, but stopped after seeing a lot of things online about how Amazon has unsafe toys
however, just now, I decided to actually try to see if it really was unsafe.. I did my research about silicone testing and tried many various ways to see if it created any foul odors, turned white when stretched or pinched, or tore, or melted under heat.
I pinched it, stretched it HARD, tried putting my finger thru, put it to a lighter, all of the things.
Putting my finger thru VERY hard does turn the material lighter, but any other pinching or stretching does not seem to do so and it seems to require significant force to make that happen. The material seems to snap back into place instantly when pulled/pinched and released. The texture is soft and very velvety, and it is matte both in texture and appearance. It’s never been greasy or sticky and so far I have not had any physical problems due to the material. Putting it to flame, it doesn’t seem to melt or do anything other than turn to ash if left for too long.
I will say that the internal robotics feel cheap, and are very loud. I can’t speak to the overall quality of it but it does the job and I seem to have struck gold with the material.
I would leave a link, but unfortunately it doesn’t seem to be available anymore,
And just because I got lucky doesn’t mean you will so make sure youre still not buying from Amazon yall
