It seems that there is a secret to the Rubik’s Cube. If you know of it’s secret, then it extremely easy to solve. The sad truth is that many of us don’t know the secret to this mind-boggling puzzle. While it relieves some people of stress, it makes others even more stressed trying to figure it out. That’s where the Rubik’s Stress Cube comes in. This look alike is an exact replica of a Rubik’s Cube, but isn’t actually a puzzle. This imposter is actually a squishy stress ball that you can squeeze instead of solve.

Although the idea behind this makes sense, I think this is not such a great idea. Using stress balls is not a thing of mine, so I actually have no clue if they really work. A Rubik’s Cube shaped squish would be almost more stressful for the fact that you could never solve it, even if you did learn of the magical puzzle-solving secret. Even if it’s pretty cheap at $8 for a fancy replica, I still doubt I’d spend the money on what could easily be replaced with a sock full of rice.
