Pillow Pets are so nostalgic! You should cover the history of fast food toys one day, Lula! Mcdonald's basically stole the idea from Burger Chef. Burger King in the 90s had some fun toys and magazines with the Burger King Kids Club characters and IP characters like Disney. I have a ton from flea markets. I also have 1970s Jack In The Box bendable figures. As a 2000s person I love collecting vintage advertising merchandise.

Hi. Blind person here. Fun fact: Bendaroos kinda helped me through math classes. My school had a stockpile of them because they dried up quick but whenever I needed to look at some diagram that would otherwise be too visual you could just whip them out and make that diagram on a piece of paper. They also helped for situations where I had to draw things because you could make the outline of the thing I was supposed to draw. This random as seen on TV product helping blind people get through elementary/early middle school is probably not with the intended purpose was but it ended up working out

@@Birdsflight44 honestly, I’m not quite sure. I was a weird case because I was never sent to a school for the blind on account of those places having a tendency to just teach you how to be blind and not get along outside of a school that goes out of its way to adapt to you when the rest of the world won’t, so I wasn’t really in the loop as to what was being done for other blind students. I’m sure somebody could’ve been queued into their use for blind assistance but I am more likely to believe this was something that some teacher found and it just so happened to work in my favor.

"As seen on TV" was a classic example of stuff I'd see advertised and want but know my parents would never buy for me. My mall even had an "As Seen on TV" store, and I used to go in there to see what weird products they were selling. And I think everyone has a story of getting a slime toy stuck somewhere it shouldn't. In my case, I got Gak stuck in my hair when I was 3, and my parents had to cut it out. I think it might have been banned from the house afterward (and my parents were not the type that banned stuff).

Out of all of the As Seen on TV toys there were, my personal favorite has to be Wuggle Pets. It was basically a DIY kit version of Build-A-Bear. You take an empty plush, fill it with stuffing, and give it a personality. Afterward, you got to clip it onto your backpack and take it wherever, you get the idea. I had four Wuggles. Of course I had the unicorn and dog that came with the kit, but I also had the monkey and horse as well. Strangely enough, the horse was the only one I actually gave a name, that being Butterscotch. I got the name off of some joke from Billy and Mandy. I wish they'd come back. Wuggles were cool.

I remember getting home to try it out and the way it worked was that it had a literal motor inside of it that would stuck in air like a vacuum and it sounded like a literal jet engine and the motor was so underpowered that it could barely even stick to an angled surface without falling. I'm pretty sure I only used the car once lol. I still have the laser porter controller funnily enough to use it to play around with my dog since she likes chasing the light around

We're definitely going to need a part two. You missed one of the most infamous and popular As Seen on TV toy lines of all time. "Boxy Girls". They were so popular, that they eventually got sold in stores, and turned the As Seen on TV toy company that made them into a household name in the toy industry. For a few years, they had a pretty strong grip on the doll market, and they popularized toys (especially dolls) coming packed in with mystery items, and you wouldn't know what you got until you bought the dolls. Basically starting the blind box and blind bag toy craze, that still exists to this day.

Wow, this was quite the trip! I actually remembered being obsessed with As Seen on TV toy commercials for a while, so I remember most of these things! And I do indeed remember buying some of these products. By the way, if you ever decide on making a follow-up video where you talk about more As Seen on TV toys, I have a suggestion: Wuggle Pets! I remember collecting a lot of these as a kid! I don't know if I still have them, but I LOVED them! They're basically miniature Build-a-Bears where you have this little machine-like maker where you can make your Wuggle Pet, and you can even give them a personality. And they come in a wide variety of animals as well. Some of them included a blue dog, a unicorn, a purple raccoon, a monkey, and more! They are honestly super adorable! Honestly, I don't know what it is, but cute anthro toylines with "pet" in their name is always a one-way ticket for me to love them! Like with the Wuggle Pets here, the previous talked about Shoppets of the Shopkins, and Jewelpet (Jewelpets were my biggest obsession when I was like 13)!

I definitely remember having a unicorn version of the smaller Stuffies with the magnetic feet, and I had unicorn Stompies as well. I don’t know where either of them are now and I most likely lost them. Some toys not mentioned in this video that I remember on TV are Little Live Pets and My Friend Cayla. I remember having so many Little Live Pets because I loved how interactive they all were. I was especially obsessed with all the birds and I liked recording myself with them. I don’t have the birds anymore, but I do have one more Little Live Pet That I intend to keep. She is a cat and her name is Cuddles and I got her when I was 12. I saw her commercial on TV and being a cat lover, I wanted her so bad. I was so happy when I got her and to this day, she is still the fluffiest and most adorable stuffed animal ever. I’m so happy I still have her because I don’t think she is being produced anymore, and she’s probably really expensive now. My Friend Cayla was a robot doll that could actually interact with you if you asked her questions. I got her for Christmas a few years back, and I really loved playing with her. Unfortunately, my siblings were messing around with her, and her plastic is actually cracked and she had to be taped up. Now she is broken and taped inside a Barbie camper in a room in our garage. I could use her just as a doll, but I’m really sad that she doesn’t have that interactive feature anymore. I thought that would happen to Cuddles as well. No one messed with her and broke her, but my dad tried to fix her since her batteries hadn’t been replaced in a long time. Unfortunately, it didn’t work the first time we tried, and I was really sad. We tried again recently, and this time it worked! I also got a Hatchimal a couple years ago, but for some reason, I was scared of it when it first arrived. I got used to it, and I really liked playing with it after I hatched it. It might actually still be in my house somewhere, and I’m thinking of trying to find it. Still, I think Cuddles will always be my favorite toy animal due to how fluffy and realistic she is. Cats are my favorite animals as well. I used to be scared of talking and moving interactive toys, but I have grown to love them because they give me more than just, something to feel and hold in my hands. They have sound and movement and I think that is really cool. Sorry if I am ranting, I’m just really excited to tell you all of this. Do you think you could please make a video about Cayla, Hatchimals, or Little Live Pets? That would make me really happy.

I had a happynapper dog and a mini dog plush that sang the song from the happynapper commercial. I love that when the dog is transformed in to a dog house it features a door bell that works.

I always forget that I can velcro the pillow pets into a stuffed animal lol. I have the bee one on my bed as a pillow. I have a unicorn one I can't find and a mini unicorn on a shelf as a stuffed animal, but I always forget that the bee one can fold like that

me and my brother had slushie magics and i remember every time we poured the juice in with the ice, it froze right in it so when we shook it up (which was a whole arm workout) it wouldn’t make much for us to drink so we’d just chug what was in there and suck the rest off the ice 😭 oh boy was this a blast from the past, amazing video!!

Floam is always so funny to me. When I was a kid, my sister and I had floam. My sister and I were playing with it, and my sister was swinging the flam around over her head. It got really stretchy and she lost control and then I got stuck in her hair. My mom was probably washing her hair for like 45 minutes to an hour and my sister was crying through it because she was freaking out. 😂

FINALLY I CAN TALK ABOUT MY EXPERIENCE WITHTHESE PRODUCTS GROWING UP!! OK! only gonna mention the two that i remember most (even tho at the time of commenting this, im only 19 minutes into the video) Snackems. oh my god- i had one and i loved that thing to death. it is JUST as good as you imagine. i wish i still had mine because i want to use it (also on the dr pepper and goldfsih thing, id do the exact same thing LOL) I remember having a slushy magic. i definetly struggled, but i honestly thought it was because i wasn shaking hard enough. i wish i knew what happened to it. would be nice to try using it again. back on the snackems, maybe you mention it later in the video, maybe not, i literally paused so i could get all of this out. i THINK walmart recently started selling thier own version?? i'm not sure how good they are in quality, but maybe i'll buy one sometime and update my comment. or not. i dont update my comments often. ok ramble over time to keep watching-

I found a Kon from Bleach and a Guts from Kill La Kill pillowpets at a con in like 2015 or so and me being almost 30 made a noise of pure joy that I can’t even explain it that my husband who was my boyfriend at the time didn’t even ask if I wanted them and bought them on the spot. Now almost 10 years later, they still have prime spots in our house

I got my first and only pillow pet during a Mardi Gras festival, where I saw it get thrown very badly and landed right next to one of the floats, where I ended up running towards this float and grabbing the pillow pet almost getting ran over in the process. It was a huge giraffe one. Loved that thing for ever and still have it somewhere in storage lol.

I loved pillow pets so much 😭 I had the bee one, specifically! Also, I had another stuffed animal that was kinda similar to pillow pets. Don't remember the name, but it was a stuffed animal that could become a house if that makes sense- it even had a doorbell that you could press! I had the ladybug one I think

I still have my two slushie magics! I remember seeing so many things about it... not working?? Every time we used ours, they worked perfectly fine. Loved it so much. Maybe their freezers were bad? Idk. But we literally just made sure the ice was frozen, put them into the cup, put the liquid in, and shook it... only thing that went wrong was the one time my finger slipped off of the air hole. We still have the ice cubes, might try it again at some point
