Viral Anthropologie 'Rock Collection' Prank Sparks Debate on Consumerism
In a recent viral video, content creator Phoebe Adams orchestrated a humorous 'gaslighting' prank on her boyfriend, Dan, at an Anthropologie store. The video, which has garnered millions of views, shows Adams feigning excitement over a collection of ordinary rocks priced at hundreds, even thousands, of dollars. A store employee, seemingly in on the joke, corroborates Adams' enthusiasm, stating the rocks are 'selling out' and are currently '50% off.' Dan initially expresses skepticism, questioning the authenticity and value of the items, but eventually succumbs to the combined pressure, agreeing to purchase one of the rocks. This incident has sparked discussions online about consumer culture, the power of persuasion, and the comedic potential of staged social experiments.
