If you’ve ever seen a lotion-filled gummy bear getting emergency surgery on TikTok Live — you weren’t hallucinating. You were probably watching Dessy, also known as @285TonsOfFun, performing her wildly entertaining “Pimple‑itis Surgery” sessions. Equal parts ASMR, improv theater, and chaos — these lives became a viral ritual for thousands of fans.
What started with a few squishy toys and some lotion injections turned into one of the most unique live experiences on TikTok. Dessy’s lives routinely drew 10,000 to 15,000 live viewers at once, with some sessions topping 500,000 total views in under 3 hours.
“I didn’t want it to just be pimple popping,” Dessy explains. “I created a whole world where these gummy bears were in danger — and only surgery could save them.”
She dubbed it “Pimple‑itis” — a fictional squishy infection — and performed dramatic, high-energy procedures using oversized toy gummy bears and soft Mochi toys. Each patient was “numinized” (her made-up term for numbing) before extraction began. With every squeeze, the audience would cheer — or gasp — as her tools removed the make-believe affliction.
But it wasn’t just about popping: it was about performance.
Viewers were part of the act. Whenever a squishy “flatlined,” Dessy would yell for help, prompting the Gummy Gang (her fanbase name) to “blow air” into the toy by flooding the comments with emojis and sending gifts to resuscitate it.
“It was chaotic, hilarious, and somehow wholesome,” one commenter wrote. “We weren’t just watching — we were saving lives.”
These sessions weren’t just quirky — they were deeply interactive, community-driven, and truly original. Combined with her viral tiny Caribbean cooking series, Dessy has built a multi-faceted brand that spans TikTok niches from food to ASMR to interactive lives.
