Items that have caught you off guard?

golden soft served ice cream hat.. friend gifted it to me and all they said was "take my golden poopy" its literally a poop

I got the standard non-golden version of that hat a while back, and it blew my mind.

Been whistling "Virtual Insanity" and laughing like an idiot for the past ten minutes.

I love that song

honestly the facial accessories such as "food mess" and the "snot drip". I don't know what the actual in game names are but you can literally wear pasta and sauce or mucous on your face now so...

Probably the anatomical model, or the one with the dude split open so you can see his organs and stuff. I thought it was pretty weird but my siblings and i decided to hide it in the forest and joke it’s a titan from Attack on Titan

When I found Filbert DIY'ing a "golden dung beetle."
Comopletely perplexed by the name of it, ended up being a way cooler item than I could have imagined. I think Filbert was channeling some kind of ancient bug-in-floor spirit that night.

when puck sent me a skeleton just as he was about to leave my island, that was a little weird

When I first put the snapping turtle down... yeah, I thought for some reason it would start chasing you.

Meme shirt.

I 100% thought it was a design based on the look. When I saw the name I gasped audibly

me too omg I thought it was a QR code/custom design for the longest time, then I saw it in the store and it blew my mind!

I also like others have been startled by the peach surprise box. My native fruit is peaches so I got that recipe pretty early on and laughed so hard when I first touched it. The bamboo doll was a similar thing too of course. And then the soft serve ice cream hat made my day when I got it from a random balloon....

One last thing I don't think I've seen anyone mention yet is those awful bug head models (grasshopper, wasp). Is there anyone who actually likes those? They really creep me out, and I feel like even bug lovers would think they didn't do those bugs justice lol

I don't think i was prepared for the Springy Ride On

this probably doesn’t count but the snapping turtle caught me off guard - when i first saw a photo of it, i thought it was a meme that somebody edited in lmao. when i got one of my own, i also wasn’t planning on it snapping at me lmao

The hats that look like poo...

For the first few weeks, it felt like Able Sisters had something that caught me off guard in the dressing room selection every other day. The gravestone also surprised me a bit. Certain completed fossils interacting or moving also through me for a loop the first time I saw it.
