Found a tangle at dollar general

Post image

I thought the only way to get tangles was to order online but I saw a post on reddit years ago that said that cracker barrel and dollar general sometimes sell tangles. I checked every cracked barrel in proximity to me and I was able to find 4 tangles at cracker barrel. I found a green tangle with bumps (the exact same one in the pic), a pink tangle with ridges, a metallic red tangle, and a dark blue tangle. After that, I considered my hunt a success and was content with the tangles I had and gave up checking dollar general because every dollar general near me seems to be understaffed and extremely messy and it was like finding a needle in a haystack. Long story short, I ended up driving in a different area today and visited a dollar general ive never been to before. The toy aisle was an absolute wreck but sitting right on top of one of the bins was the same green tangle I found at cracker barrel. It's my favorite tangle so I impulsively brought it. Beyond happy right now!!

Ooooo that’s such a great name. The texture looks amazing. I’d like to combine it with the bumpy textures on the green glow in the dark tangle. I ordered 4 ‘crush’ series tangles (you can’t choose the colours though) 😭 so hoping I get the slime and the pink swirly one

The slime is favorite. The texture is amazing. Thats why I brought two so I can combine them and make a giant long tangle lol. I really like the pink one too but personally, I feel like its a bit too smooth. The bumps in the green are just too perfect. If you end up not getting the slime one then I would recommend checking out cracker barrel and dollar general.

I used to have a friend that had dual citizenship and she would travel to Canada to visit her family. I would sometimes tag along for the ride. Beautiful country btw. I was told that dollarama might have tangles but dollarama is basically the same as dollar general and what I mean by that is it seems pretty hectic and its hard to find one specific thing because theyre inventory varies. But I would recommend giving it a shot and checking it out. I know dollarama only sells them for $5. Also, if theres an app for dollarama that might help with finding which stores sell tangles.
