Ever seen a ketchup bottle look at you? One mom’s making Walmart much funnier by sticking googly eyes on things.
A bit of harmless fun turned into viral joy, this delightful video proves that sometimes, a little silliness can light up the internet.
Googly Eyes Stickers
In a delightful escapade that has captured the hearts of many, a mom and her daughter embarked on a whimsical journey through the aisles of Walmart, spreading unexpected smiles with a pack of sticky googly eyes.
Shared by TikTok user Bella, the video showcases her mom meticulously placing googly eyes on various products throughout the store, transforming ordinary packaging into amusing faces that have left shoppers and internet viewers alike chuckling.
Armed with a shopping cart to “blend in” and a pack of googly eyes, Bella’s mom declared various products as her “victims,” adorning them with crafty eyes.
From a package featuring a man’s face to a shampoo ad with a woman flaunting her locks, each item was given an extra dash of personality with the playful addition of the eyes.
The duo navigated through the store, leaving behind a trail of giggles and unsuspecting characters with their new animated expressions.

Public Response
The video, which has garnered significant attention, has been met with a wave of positive responses. Viewers have expressed their appreciation for the “sweet ole mother” and her harmless, joy-spreading prank.
One user revealed, “OK but I bought a carton of eggs a week ago and one egg had googly eyes!!”, while another shared a similar joyful discovery in their shopping.
Encouragement for such lightheartedness flowed through the comments, with one person suggesting, “Your mom is so cute! I would totally pick the google eye package if I saw this,” showcasing how a simple, fun act can spread smiles and connect people even in the aisles of a supermarket.
A Viral Prank with Googly Eyes
This is not an isolated case. A lighthearted prank involving googly eyes went viral when singer Riley Buck and her grandma decided to add a little humor to their local Walmart shopping experience. The duo, armed with a bag of googly eyes, stuck them on various items throughout the store, including cereal boxes, syrup bottles, diaper boxes, and eggs, causing both mischief and smiles among shoppers.
Buck shared the adventure on TikTok, garnering over 10.6 million views and 1.9 million likes. The prank not only amused shoppers but also brought joy and a sense of adventure to Buck and her grandma, showcasing their playful and close relationship. Buck revealed that her grandma, “Memaw,” had orchestrated the prank, having already purchased the supplies and simply needed a “partner in crime.”
Vandalism or Harmless Fun?
In a different scenario, city officials in Savannah, Georgia, were not amused when a marble monument of Revolutionary War general Nathanael Greene was “vandalized” with googly eyes.
The eyes, placed on the bronze face of the statue, were reported to the police, and the matter is being treated as trespassing. While the city has emphasized that defacing public property and historic monuments is a crime and “no laughing matter,” the eyes were removed without causing any damage to the statue.
The city is actively seeking the individual responsible for the act, despite social media users finding humor in the situation, even coining the term “vandaleyesed” to describe the incident.
The contrasting reactions to these two incidents highlight varied perspectives on using googly eyes in public spaces as a form of expression or prank.
