ICONRY butter and cheese squishies: review and test

Compared with the rest: a pair of food pieces, a bread set and a plush

The bread set has the same idea and a mismatch between title and data sheet. The MallowMees come from a different family altogether, fabric rather than rubber or foam, so the comparison is about scale and branding, not feel.

A single glow-in-the-dark ghost from Mondiko sits in the same corner: 6 x 6 x 6 cm in the data sheet and also called slow rise. For the whole group, see slow rising squishies.

ICONRY at a glance

That is the whole sheet. Where other listings offer a size, a weight or a material, this one stops at a description of the look and the use.

What we tested on a two-piece listing

We tested what a buyer can test without the box: the six bullet points read in full, the images compared with the text, and the claims set against the title. Two pieces leave little to count, so the questions are about wording.

The butter squishy and the cheese cube

The listing describes a butter squishy and a cheese cube, in a bright, realistic look. It does not give the colour of either piece or the size of the cheese cube, so the images are your only guide to proportions.

What the title promises and the text confirms

The title says slow rising, and so does one bullet, which describes pressing, squeezing and releasing for a slow return to shape. That is a claim with no measured time behind it, and we record it only as listed.

Wording we left out on purpose

The title and two bullets attach wellbeing and exercise promises to the pair. We do not repeat them, because nothing on the listing supports them, and this page judges the pieces as a pair of squeeze toys.

Reading the title word by word

Titles like this are written to catch searches, so they stack every term that might match. The first four rows carry the facts; the last two are search padding, best read past.

Slow rising: foam, rubber or something else?

Slow rising pieces come in foam, in rubber-like materials and in others. The listing does not say which one this is. The guide on slow rising squishies explains why that matters for how a piece wears.

What you can check by hand

On arrival, press a piece gently and let go: it should come back to shape without a crack, a split or a sticky patch. There is no stated rebound time to hold it against, so your own comparison with a second piece is the test.

Smell first

Open the bag and smell the pieces. The Dutch authority NVWA, cited by Stiftung Warentest (26 September 2026), tested squishies after reports of a chemical, petrol-like smell and found volatile organic compounds. A piece that smells like that should be set aside.

Food-shaped squishies and where to keep them

• Keep them apart from real food: a realistic look is the point of the toy, and it is a reason to store them in a drawer, not on the kitchen table.
• Keep them away from toddlers. Franceinfo (10 August 2026) points to ingestion as a risk for young children with squishies in general.
• Do not leave them in a car in the sun, on a radiator or near any heat source.
• Replace a piece that cracks or splits; the French DGCCRF (10 August 2026) advises stopping use of a cracked toy.

None of this is specific to ICONRY. It follows from the shape of the toy, and the squishy recalls page lists what UK and European authorities have actually published.

Pocket, bag, desk: living with two small pieces

Why a pair travels well

Two pieces fit into a pocket and are quickly counted when you pack and unpack. A lot of 32 needs a box; a pair needs only a corner of a bag.

Losing one of two

The flip side: lose one piece and half the set is gone. If you plan to carry them daily, a small zipped pouch keeps the pair together.

What the listing does not say

A UK safety report of 10 August 2026 on a squishy bun found no identification, no UKCA or CE marking and a breach of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011; the toy was destroyed at the border. Nothing we read names this pair. The report shows what a missing marking can mean.

Stockings, prizes and return gifts: how many sets

Because a set is only two pieces, bulk handing out multiplies the number of listings you order. For a crowd, a 32-piece mochi lot such as the JUAUO set covers the same ground in one go.

Who it suits, who should skip it

• It suits an adult or teenager who wants a small food-shaped pair for a desk.
• It suits a stocking, where two pieces are the right amount.
• It does not suit anyone who wants a collection or many pieces.
• It does not suit a child under 3, or a buyer who cannot check the box for age and marking.
• It does not suit someone who needs a stated size or a named material before ordering.

Verdict: 6.4 out of 10

A cute pair with a thin sheet earns 6.4. If you like the idea, it is a small purchase to check on arrival: the age and marking on the packaging, the smell, and the surface of both pieces.
