Who would have thought.<\/p>\n

I first happened on these funny objects when my dad presented my kids with about 20 of them two weeks ago.<\/p>\n

They of course were ecstatic – apparently Stikeez are all the rage at school and because I do not shop at Pick \u2018n Pay I had denied my children the opportunity of displaying their own collections to their friends.<\/p>\n

Thank goodness for grandparents, then.<\/p>\n

Love them or hate them, Stikeez are one of Pick \u2018n Pay\u2019s most ingenious marketing tool. These plastic toys that stick on just about anything – and make the most annoying popping sound when they\u2019re pulled off – are apparently given away at till points every time a shopper spends more than R150.<\/p>\n

Maybe that\u2019s the reason they\u2019re such a sought after treasure on the playgrounds across South Africa.<\/p>\n

Today I received an e-mail that took the Stikeez story to a whole new, bizarre level.<\/p>\n

Apparently, so high is the demand that \u201centerprising entrepreneurs\u201d and desperate mums are putting them up for sale and swop on Gumtree!<\/p>\n

Gumtree\u2019s parent company, eBay, has also seen increased traffic from SA. Social media was inundated with links to the online auction site selling bulk amounts of Stikeez last week.<\/p>\n

On Gumtree the average cost of a Stikee is R10 while complete collections average about R200.<\/p>\n

Pick \u2018n Pay itself hasn\u2019t indicated what impact Stikeez has had on its revenue, but marketer Jon Cherry of Cherryflava has said that according to some sources the craze has been responsible for an estimated 12% increase in the retailer\u2019s profit.<\/p>\n

Mind-boggling! #EnoughSaid<\/p>\n
