Daily Weird #18 Dackle Kackle (I shoveled the most dog poop, I win!)

Some call it Cackle Dackle, some call it Takkie Kakkie, I just call it a $45 toy dog that poops on your table.

Remember when Fisher price came out with the people you could put in the barber chair? You would push Playdough up the bum of the hollow person, sit the bald guy or gal in the chair, and turn the crank until the Playdough came out their holey heads. “A shave and a hair cut, bump bump!” Well, German designers have taken this concept and added a little twist.

Instead of pushing the Playdough up the bum, you now shove it in the mouth of a cute little doggie. You can use whatever color you like. The toy is advertised with the traditional florescent yellow, but if you think you can improve on what hundreds of hours of research has shown to be the best color, you just go right ahead!

So, you've shoved the Playdough in the doggie's mouth, now what? You have a little hand pump, and as you squeeze the pump the “poop” works it’s way through the dog’s digestive tract. I’m thinking this is actually a science game in disguise.

The sounds from the digestive tract get louder and louder as the “poop” gets closer to it’s exit. Suddenly, there you are! A big pile of perfectly formed, florescent yellow poop to shovel. I think this is where it can get dangerous. I believe all the players try and grab the poop with their shovel. I’m not certain where they’re shoveling it to, and I’m equally as convinced that I don’t want to know.

I’m still not sure exactly how you win the game, I think it’s whoever says, “OMG did you see that one?” the loudest wins.

Its hours of fun for the whole family!

“You’re a fast poop-shoveler little Sally.”

“Not as fast as you, mom!”

“He,he, well, we can’t all be expert poop shovelers from the beginning. It does take determination, hard work, and stick-to-it-iveness. In time, Sally, I’m sure you will be shoveling poop even BETTER than me!!!”

Wow, it just doesn’t get any better than that.
