Personally, I find these [little fruit critters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fruithead) extremely creepy as they are built with the most [eccentric-looking faces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deddy-bears) and sit on your desk just to speak to you while you work. The box comes with a [QR code](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alarm-oclock), which one can scan for a talkative video ensemble as well. The series includes oranges, plums, pears and even a marshmallow.
