A person on the Chinese social media platform Xiaohongshu a week ago posted a video of herself enjoying the charm at Sengkang , MRT , and was immediately flooded with questions asking where the machine was located. ( FYI: It’s close to the Compass One mall entrance, but chances are there will be a sold-out sign there. )
The initial poster also received a request from a couple of netizens based abroad asking if she could assist them in purchasing the charm. It also appears that the appeal isn’t really well-known among locals .  ,
Do Singaporeans actually enjoy cleaning that far?” It does not even come with any top-up price.” joked one netizen Another remark made:” It costs less than that with an exact cleaning sponge.”
But, if the feedback on EZ-Link’s Instagram website are any indication, individuals are more than willing to give up S$ 19.90 if it means savoring the distinctive charm.  ,
Many people are requesting a resupply, but EZ-Link Singapore’s response states that they “do not include information on any restocks” and that they have rather advised that interested buyers keep an eye out for updates on their social media pages.  ,
On Carousell, advertisements for the brush beauty have also appeared, selling them for an average of S$ 30 per item.
The “limited release” charm is priced at S$ 49.90, more than twice the wholesale price, on the most expensive listing.  ,
speaking to  , 8 days. One Singaporean who has been searching desperately for the beauty, Sg, said:” I agree that S$ 19 is expensive, but it’s so lovely I don’t mind paying for it. It’s said on TikTok that it’s sold up outside, and I went to Chinatown’s vending machine and it was no longer available as well.
When questioned if she would rather regard purchasing it from Carousell, she responded,” No! Reselling it at such a rate is irresponsible, they claim.
Who cares about morality when you can have that adorable towel appeal, right?
