Lucky Penny Shop Presents...

[calzephyr]

Some time ago I stumbled across YouTuber Lucky Penny Shop...not sure how, but I'm always checking in to see what weird and wonderful things they're reviewing, which is mostly toys. Love their enthusiasm and demos, especially when they pull out older toys. Here's just one video from an oddball set of McDonald's toys made in 1993 used to condition young folks into accepting McJobs. All the toys seem rather weird in that they don't produce the actual product in any form - the French fry maker cuts bread up into strips, for example - but I guess someone deserves props for thinking up something like this. The burger maker is by far the strangest of the bunch - and watching it in action as the narrator makes a cereal, chocolate and peanut butter burger patty is oddly gross, fun and...unique!

Again, another toy in Japan was similar:

Oh, YOU would so not be responsible for that, me and cat videos are perfectly good at wasting time on our own. lol

I should explain that this is "kakigori" or Japanese "shaved ice", a treat that is common in the summer. This is a teeny-weeny version (bubblegum kind of toy) requiring oodles of patience, which the poster certainly has.

His silent videos are addictive.

How cosmic! I came across that channel before, for one of the jelly making kits. The local Asian supermarket has those, along with Reniment toys, although the selection is so small. Japan has the coolest stuff!
