Lucky Penny Shop Presents...

[calzephyr77]

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

huh... that is so weird!

Two YouTubers I like for toy commentary are Mike Mozart because he has such odd, old things sometimes, and Ashens because he is dry and British and funny. Ashens is truly my favorite since he adds old and knockoff handheld games and Poundland food (ick!).

Isn't it? It seems to me there would be a less complicated way of making the "meat" and it looks like a pain to clean. The chicken McNuggets in another video are made from bread, corn flakes and honey :-D

Mike Mozart is a hoot! I love him...should see what he's up to now. I haven't heard of Ashens, but I'll take a look. Thanks!

Main reason my mother didn't buy certain toys was she always took "ability to clean" into account; beg, plead, or whine, but Mom knows who get stuck with it.

Oh totally!! I remember I really had to beg and plead for markers and plasticine. I didn't have paint either growing up :-D

If you get a kick out of that -- and I thank you for sharing this -- you may enjoy the varieties of "kits", including a burger one, in Japan.

For a long time, I enjoyed watching this lovely woman do her kits while she lived in Japan (she is not a Japanese person though) and she continued this when she moved back to America. She also got sent food parcels from all over the world and it got rather interesting.

I felt she explained things well, had a nice voice & face, and was never annoying (although honest and never overly cutesy):
