After being connected to a computer, Olly and Molly release sweets and smells for every time a user's tweet is retweeted or mentioned. The sibling robots are similar in almost every way aside from the end result.

Molly is the slightly larger of the two robots and [releases a sweet treat](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airheads-decoy-boy) for every retweet and mention.
