Squirmles (also known as Snoots, Magic Twisty Worms, or Worm on a String) are small, worm-like toys with eyes, a furry body, and a hidden string used to imitate a live worm, sometimes used as a magic trick. A popular toy released in the late 1970s by the Illfelder Importing Company, Squirmles come in a variety of colors and are measured at 8.5 in by 0.5 in. They are typically found in discount stores in the United States. In 2017 they began being referred to mainly as "Worm on a String", and in 2020 as "wormies" or simply "worms".

  • Der Zauberwurm, auch unter den Namen Fips, der Zauberwurm oder Wurliwurm bekannt, ist ein Spielzeug, welches aus dem Stoff Chenille besteht und über einen kaum sichtbaren Nylonfaden verfügt. Mit Hilfe des Fadens ist es möglich, den Wurm zu bewegen und ihn Kunststückchen machen zu lassen. Zauberwürmer waren in den 1970/80er Jahren ein Kultspielzeug und besonders bei Kindern beliebt. Sie sind jedoch auch aktuell erhältlich. Hergestellt werden sie in diversen Farben. Es gibt heute zwei Herstellerfirmen: Fun Promotion B. V., Loosdrecht, Niederlande und Tobar, Norfolk, Großbritannien. Die Produkte unterscheiden sich nur marginal. Die Würmer von Tobar haben Augen aus Papier im Gegensatz zu denen von Fun Promotion, die Rollaugen haben. (de)

They are typically found in discount stores in the United States. In 2017 they began being referred to mainly as "Worm on a String", and in 2020 as "wormies" or simply "worms". The original toy came in the colors pink, orange, blue, yellow, green, and purple. Later, new colors were made available, such as red, navy, black, white and multi-colored. There are many more colors, now, and bulks such as 100 or even 200 packs of these worms are available. In late 2019, Squirmles rose in popularity as an Internet meme under the name of “Worm On A String". Often popular on websites such as Tumblr, Amino, Pinterest, TikTok, and Instagram, they have been used in art projects such as jackets, door beads, and earrings. Some multicolored versions consist of colors found on pride flags. (en)
