Yeah that was the least believable part. Is there even a single trillion dollar company on earth? I am pretty sure Apple hit the trillion dollar mark but I don't think they hit two trillion.
580
I am pretty sure Apple hit the trillion dollar mark but I don't think they hit two trillion.
They have, as has Microsoft. Saudi Aramco (oil) is also over two trillion and Google, Amazon, and Nvidia are over one trillion.
Maybe the kid was opening childproof oil barrel prototypes!
568
And as we know, Saudi Aramco and Amazon shut down overnight. RIP the Saudi economy and also half of the internet, I guess, thanks to this 4 year old.
277
Whew that's a relief I thought I couldn't access my bank account because I told the Department Homeland Security IRS my SSN, Credit Card number and mother's maiden name.
Good to know it's just because Amazon shuttered after testing a toddler.
86
Well, she did say Multi-trillion so Google, Amazon and Nvidia are not big enough for her and, more importantly, her 4 year old, to bother with.
15
I guess you never heard of big tupperware
59
Oh no, and they warned they might go out of business back in April! The story is true! Companies hate this 4 year old!
26
I do too if he made Amazon close up over night. I just ordered something from them and I haven’t gotten it yet😳
11
Thanks for the correction.
33
Don't forget BlackRock with 3 Trilion dollars of assets under management.
3
I mean they did delete their number and website so you probably haven't heard of them and can no longer look them up.

They're back up now: https://www.tupperware.com/

You forgot one. The one who vanished themselves overnight after being pwned by a toddler.
101
They were so embarrassed they spent every last dime wiping the memory of them from every person on the planet.
This kid's the real deal.
30
I did try to Google Google and it didn’t work…
9
The Elders of the Internet said it’s ok.
2
And how many of those companies make products that need to be childproofed?
26
I doubt it
1
Actually, getting a telco company to do anything overnight would be the least believable part of this whole fantasy.
23
Really a bit surprised to not find a "then all the scientists clapped" line in there
13
The clapping sound was all the palms meeting all the faces at Mach 1.
6
It's easy to work out.
They were opening Apple products with the intent to repair them.
The horror!
6
All because he was able to open a container, when he was brought in to see if the container was child proof or not. Why would they be doing testing on a container that would put them out of business if 1 kid is able to open it?
67
Right? I mean.... it's just so freaking stupid
17
"without using his hands" the mind boggles at the possibilities...
15
And how he opened the container without using his hands. Kid must have superpowers!
37
Right?? Like I’n pretty sure we would have heard about the stock market collapsing 100x worse than black Tuesday
20
Not to mention if a company that big actually did do something like that, it would be all over the news
36
NO but NOT IF THEY kept it OUT Of the News! Wake up, sheeple!
22
I was thinking their internet and phone lines got cut after because they never paid it, so none of the websites worked anyway.
9
You wouldn't know them, they are/were based in Canada.
8
Then everyone stood and clapped.
6
Have any trillion dollar companies gone dark? It’s the only way to fact check this story!
3
something smells like meth in here

30
Besides this being blatantly fake.
The story doesn’t even make sense. The first researcher left after demonstrating how to open them because he was embarrassed that he open them to demonstrate to a 4 year old? How do you type that and go yup that’s my fake story?
Child testers parents sign NDAs.

And they clapped, and we're getting a parade, and Trump came and told me he is still the president, and they are gonna pay my son to test all bottles forever, and then God said I was a good mommy, and then......

Yeah this idea is fucking bizarre. A 4 year old could probably open the container if they had a hammer or a flamethrower, too, but the cap is “child proof,” not “hammer proof,” “flamethrower proof,” or “adult proof.”
The person also seems confused as to why market testing or any of that exists. Researchers don’t invite people to try their products to feel a sense of superiority over 4 year olds, they do it to see if the product works or is received as intended. These people are constantly focusing their lives around proving to those people they’re not dumb that they don’t have time to consider that those people aren’t doing the same thing.
280
And even if chubby child hands can open it, a negative result is still a result, just one prompting further R&D. Nobody would get beet red, disconnect phones, shut down websites, etc. It would be, "Well, that didn't work. Let's go back to the drawing board and do some redesigns."
131
Very much a "sure glad they caught that before we released it to the market, multiple children died, and we had to do some very costly PR."
81
And even with the idea of "tricking them into showing them how it's done"
That's still fine. That's how the containers are supposed to be used. You think you're supposed to only open a childproof anything in secret? Kids will see it, they just can't figure out how to do it yet. And if they can, they probably know not to chug a bottle of bleach.
My favorite simple childproof product was like a little flexible bag that went over the door knob. You had to squeeze it from front and back to get the knob to turn. And then you had to hold it and push the door open. Which kids just can't do, mostly their fingers aren't long enough to get a good grip, but the idea of pulling with the fingers and pushing with the arm just isn't there yet for them
13
The faster they open means they just have to do more testing…sweet job security.

Over the years, I’ve come to realize that a very large portion of the conservative voting bloc have a worldview that can best be described as “constant competition”. Like, they are incapable of the idea of working together or doing something altruistically. The only goal of any action is to be in a better position than the people around them.
She sounds like one of these people. The idea that a product safety test would be to find out whether the product is safe is incomprehensible to them. The only reason a company would do a product safety test, in their mind, is to stick it to whoever is taking the test and prove that they are smarter than the test taker.
You’ve worked with these people. They are the combative backstabbers that blindside you by throwing you under the bus when there was absolutely no reason to. It’s because you were thinking “I’m going to work with this person to accomplish this goal”, and they were thinking “We’re in a battle and I’m going to win it”.
Then, you realize, these people don’t vote for Democrats because when Democrats lay out a plan to work together to make everyone benefit, they think one of two things. Either “This is a trick. They are trying to make me complacent so that they can double cross me” or “They are lazy. They are just saying that so they don’t have to actually do anything.”
And they vote for Republicans, because the Republican Party views government the same way. Privatize everything so that competition decides what happens, no one gets anything for free because they should be competing against everyone around them, if you are poor, you deserve to be poor because you just aren’t competing hard enough, etc. It’s also why Donald “tired of winning” Trump became their cult leader, because he is the embodiment of “Do whatever it takes to beat people”.
But yeah, this is fake, and it’s just imagination porn for someone who thinks like that.
576
Yes! Their mentality is “us vs them” at all times.
94
Yes. Once you realize that literally EVERYTHING is a zero sum game to Republicans, you understand them much better. Or rather....you can explain them much better. I'll never understand them though. 😆
58
This perfect comment. 💯
60
Omg you just explained my Republican dad to me. Thanks
17
Yeah it's all just misplaced paranoia

It's sad that an adult is dumb enough to think this post makes enough senss that they posted it.
51
No, you're wrong. The testers actually made them, so they have a vested interest in them working as intended (/s)
26
An adult opening a package on behalf of a child is the product working as intended.

It astounds me that people heart reacted to it.

The original post reads like the copypasta about the Christian student outsmarting his atheist college teacher or whatever the fuck it was
23
I worked in marketing research for a while. We actually did tests on safety caps and see how easy it was for people of assorted ages to open them. The manufacturers don’t care that some kids can open some of the containers. They expect that to be the case. What they care about is how hard it was for a child compared to how hard it was for an adult. The design intent is to find something most kids can’t open easily while most adults can.
That’s my long way of saying that lady is full of shit.
279
You didn't shut down your website or disconnect your phones? How embarrassing!
96
Well the company did go bankrupt. I always thought it was because of a general shift in the industry combined with the owner making some bad decisions. But maybe I’m wrong and it was actually caused by one particularly smart kid who was able to open a child safety cap.

This one didn't happen more than like 99.99999% of the things that didn't happen. This is the didn't happenest thing ever.

Also worth noting, usually when to do surveys / trials the company is never revealed to you to avoid bias.
Yep. If she had any phone number or website at all, it likely would've been for the testing agency, not for the company that contracted with them for the product testing, and even more, it likely would've only been associated with this particular study. So even if this actually happened, it would be somewhat expected, as the phone number would've been turned to "unmonitored" once the study was over.

Yes, the child allegedly tricked the researcher to open it for him.
75
This child realized that inside each of the 6 child proof containers rested an infinity stone. Once opened for him, the child then snapped his fingers, and a multi trillion dollar company just disappeared. Our only hope now if for Antman to fly up the child’s butt.
19
It's plausible that the kid did indeed trick the researcher like that. Likely because he saw something like that on the TikTubes. But I'm not buying it that the researcher got angry or embarrassed about it.
40
If his mom is this daft, the chance of that kid actually tricking anyone besides his own boogers is almost zero.
28
If his mother is dumb, he's going to be able to walk all over her.
2
If the researcher opened it, that's not even a trick. That's just showing the kid how it opens, like he asked. The test is if the kid can open it himself. I agree, obviously no product tester would be upset about that. It's a SAFETY test, not a cleverness test lol
28
I could imagine maybe the researchers took a few seconds to suppress their laughter
15
Yeah laughter is by far the most likely reaction.
5
I mean it sounds like she doesn’t even have custody of the kid. This is probably pure fabrication.
2
I'm trying to figure out exactly what that means. He used his feet? His teeth? Telepathy?
15
He used the adult to open it using the power of his words.
58
Oh, I get it. It's a fable.
36
5
Most of the people I know who are like this never had any type of formal education or training beyond high school. They’re desperate to prove that they’re just as smart, if not smarter than, people who are generally considered to be intelligent by most of society.
They want to believe that if degrees weren’t required for those jobs they’d be able to do them and would excel. It’s really sad. My dad is like this.

Not to mention, the point of child-proof caps is to keep small children from getting into and taking dangerous medications when adults aren't looking. It's meant to make it so only adults can open it. The child in no way "beat" the cap
