A crunchy squishy bursts beads across the table, and Nico Polo has an immediate verdict: "That was the worst trade I've ever done in my life. Why did I do that?"

"Trading Our SQUISHIES to Cut Them Open!" turns toy collecting into a messy negotiation. Nico and his co-host swap their squishies using trading boards delivered by Allie, then cut the toys open and combine their fillings in bowls. Clear slime, charms, foam and beads all enter the mix. Green safety gloves are part of the setup, and Nico explicitly tells viewers not to try it at home.

Posted a little over two weeks ago, the challenge is the channel's busiest individual video right now, drawing roughly twice the daily views of either "Whatever You Build, You Get!" or the much older "My Crush Controls My Life For 24 Hours". The latter, posted in June, remains a substantial part of the channel's daily viewing.

Nico posted nothing new this week, but the catalog brought in about 1.7 million views. Daily viewing is above its usual level, while subscribers held steady after growth over the past month. Among nearby-sized challenge channels, Dan woolley had a particularly busy viewing week; Dude Perfect Plus was quieter.

For Nico, the squishy experiment supplies the most active draw, with later rounds adding a giant strawberry, a stretched cabbage and a pencil that pumps yet more foam into already crowded bowls.
