Customers can customise their Crocs Egg Waffles with an assortment of jelly candy toppings, designed to resemble the Jibbitz charms that adorn actual Crocs shoes
These "charms" feature a variety of shapes: buttons (round with holes), stars, paw prints, fruits, cloud-like designs, and other cartoonish figures, all in bright, pastel colors like light blue, pink, green, white, and yellow.
These toppings, according to a Douyin user, are priced between one and three yuan (approximately RM0.60 and RM1.80).
