China seems to be a prime market for this insanity.
They're sold as sleep aids, stress relievers, even smoking-cessation tools — and shoppers are gobbling them up. Some online sellers move thousands each month, according to the South China Morning Post.

Before you start high-fiving about how the U.S. is guaranteed to win WW3, American adults might be worse.
TikTok is sucking it up — literally — with videos of American adults pacifying themselves in traffic, at work, or in the throes of burnout.
In the comments section of a TikTok by @thebentist, one user swore, "I just use an adult pacifier it hasn't moved my teeth been using them for 4 years."
Another doubled down: "Just get an adult pacifier I use one! And the ADHD tip it works!!(for me)."
Others admitted, "we gotta do what we gotta do to keep focused. over bite or not getting stuff we need to get done. Lol," while one confessed, "im so ashamed, I've been addicted for 23 years, my entire life."
HOWITZER NOW!
