[@Phlip45]

The name of this video has convinced youtube that I LOOOVE all spherical related videos. So many marble run videos suddenly in my algo

[@micahreid5553]

If it leads you to jelle's marble runs its all worth it

[@regencoe]

@OfficiallyNerdCubed That logo that you keep seeing everywhere is a safety logo that the gulf / middle eastern states recently established. It's necessary for both electronics as well as toys if you want to sell these goods in these areas.

“You’d put anything in a can wouldn’t you America” , ya know I’ve heard a lot of criticisms of my country but that is unique…. And accurate

[@theaces3697]

It's very accurate, I went on holiday to a few different states of America and saw canned bread and canned whole chicken, that was absurd to me haha

[@peterclarke7240]

*flashbacks to the accursed "whole chicken in a can" video by Ashens...*

[@martinputt6421]

@@peterclarke7240 Chicken in a can? It was more like an alien corpse, not to mention that odd foul smelling yellow stuff that came out of the can as well. 😆

[@peterclarke7240]

@@martinputt6421 I just remember it as something that wouldn't have been amiss on the set of a John Carpenter or David Cronenberg film.. Might have to watch it again, and then watch The Thing (I never need an excuse to rewatch The Thing, to be honest...)..

[@kenmorashade7943]

fun fact, even though you cant open thoughs, they do in fact have things in them. the pirouette actualy has the sticks in it, the spigetios have a blob of them and so on.

[@Danziii]

Nooo, you tell us now this was from an advent calendar!!! I really hope we have one of these for this Christmas

[@em43675]

I just died inside at the idea of gen z kids toys having toy cyrpto coins in. what has the world come to

[@Badusername2000]

This is gen alpha toys, I'm gen z and I'm 24

[@Dead-EyeJuncan]

How are they meant to understand what a fungible Non-fungible currency actually is?

[@HirstMovies]

@@Badusername2000 ikr lol ppl mix up gen z and alpha so much. i bet they are gen z without even realising it

[@potatosordfighter666]

The same company also makes plushes with little creatures holding products and I unashamedly would love the Maruchan ramen one.

[@matthewsweeney6060]

1:02 It is the "G-Mark" or Gulf Conformity mark. According to Wikipedia "Gulf Conformity mark, also known as the G-mark is a certification mark used to indicate products that conform to all technical regulations of the Gulf Cooperation Council. It means that the G-marked products meet all requirements of the corresponding technical regulations and have passed all conformity assessment procedures. The mark was introduced in 2009." Love your videos btw and I can't wait to read Paradox Paradox and Fuck Yeah Video Games!😄

[@Henrya11]

So, uh.... what does it mean?

[@jollybodger]

@@Henrya11 Same as the CE mark for Europe, UKCA mark for the UK, UKNI mark for Ireland and FCC mark for USA. Meets all regulations and requirements for sale of the product in that area. G-Mark is for Saudi Arabia, Oman, UAE, Kuwait, Bahrain and Qatar.

[@MoultrieGeek]

This is an appropriate use of resources don'tcha think? That plastic will never be recycled.

[@Legon751]

that minute maid can is so accurate it has the ardagh logo on it (the company that made the can itself, if it were a real one). now thats attention to detail. its the little "ag" in a circle near the barcode

[@jokool_aid]

9:08 "Dooge" coin 🤣

[@OctopusOwl]

You HAVE todo a mini brands advent calendar next year!

[@DevinGates]

It is minute as in a unit of time. I dont know why the brand is called Minute Maid, though. Their wiki said they started as frozen concentrated orange juice and the name was meant to evoke quick prep time.

[@ThtOtherJess]

Minute after the Boston minute men, it was a marketing thing. To be fair it’s better than their og name.. vacuum foods

[@DevinGates]

I was so sad when they went away. Took forever to find another provider of food for my vacuum.

[@TheKingLux]

If I was still in Texas, I would've paused this video and went to Jack in the Box right near the beginning of this vid right at 9:30 at night. It was open 24/7 too.

[@Aiden_Noah]

Made with recycled plastic doesn't necessarily mean it can be recycled

[@Dead-EyeJuncan]

They aren't allowed to advertise high fat or sugar food on kids TV or films(at least in the UK), so they made toys of these products to get around the advertising standards!

[@LoreRevolution]

Let me tell you, there is no such law in the US...

[@ceekay3143]

They have this law in Australia too. Even in McDonalds they aren't allowed to advertise the toy that comes with the Happy Meal.

[@KillerCaitie]

There *are* Mini Brands advent calendars. There's a regular Mini Brands one, and a Disney Mini Brands advent as well.

[@joshuatheawesome9440]

Daniel, I need you to know that those pirouette cookie things are one of the best things you will ever taste. The fact that you don't have them in england makes me very sad.

[@StapSco]

Worries me that the fruit punch seemed proud of being 3% fruit juice

[@bt1234567892010]

they have to claim on the package how much fruit juice is actually fruit juice according to the FDA. It has to be plainly shown and not hidden. Otherwise they wouldn't state it's only 3%.

[@bacon.cheesecake]

Considering that most American fruit sodas are 0% fruit juice, 3% seems worth mentioning.

[@bt1234567892010]

@@bacon.cheesecake true.

[@killia999]

That logo, if anyone is interested is the logo of GSO-GCC, or the Gulf Standards Organization of the Gulf Cooperation Council. In short this logo is a mark that shows that the product complies with certain standards and regulations in the GCC

[@RevJR]

Also you mean to tell me netflix was like 4 pound 20 a day but you could buy 24 of these for like 3 pounds each... Why not just 24 of these for the winner, one each day instead of a questionable calendar?

[@HirstMovies]

“helllooo procrastinatorsss”

[@Bucky749]

I bet those mini brands would work well as propts for your ashens action figure you could get a million man action figure from WWE and have ashens fight him in short . Or get a super stars Lou Albano figure with some mini brands food and gift it to Barry as a new channel mascot for him

The sushi is from one of those conveyor belt restaurants.

Man, my ninja turtles are eyeing up that pizza and sushi for Splinter!

[@Chilakkuma13]

I'm really into the mini fashion brands for my dolls (I got some flat pink shoes that fit my vintage Francie, it is honestly one of the best things I got in 2024), but I didn't like the mini brands toy ball I bought earlier. Was unsure about going to try the foodie one, but you've absolutely sold me on them.

[@scaramouch3997]

I had to look it up and that golden Campbell's soup can is worth about 20 pounds on Ebay. Neat.

[@LemurDreamer87]

Seeing them partnered with the Dogecoin scam has made me less inclined to buy these things, even though I have a weakness for bits of well-made but useless plastic tat.

The juice is Jamba Juice it’s a smoothie chain prety good too

[@timothymenard1750]

11:40 as we all know, us canadians don't use money!

[@Decipher13]

Oh man. They made it to the UK? I guess it was a matter of time. There’s Mini Brands in Canada now They used to be SO much more wasteful. The ball was 5 sections all sealed with thin plastic on the open side. Paper bags in a ball seems so much better.

[@jamescarroll384]

They've been in the UK for a few years. I worked in a toy shop during uni and we sold lots of these "blind" plastic collectables. Also, probably the biggest toy to split parents between the "What? No I'm not getting you that, it's a rip off, pick something else" crowd and the "well okay, but it's your £5 so don't complain to me afterwards" crowd. Weirdly divisive toy.

[@Jenisis_Jo32]

Dystopian fun fact, not only is doge a food toy now, it's soon to be an american government agency! Ain't civilization great 🙃

[@Psyched_Crow]

Ah, Spaghettios. I've got a pork allergy, and I've learned that I cannot eat Spaghettios. All of their varieties but Original have pork in them, and cross contamination is *common*. I get sick of every time I eat them. Pepperidge Farms Pirouette's also not great imo. Fudge filling with the flakey cookie/biscuit = horrible mouth feel. Give me a minute maid fruit punch any day. I love fruit punch.

[@brendakrieger7000]

So much fun!

[@jaylou71]

Yeah I got a mini brand balls from "a supermarket beginning with T" because my advent calendar didn't turn up. What did I keep getting ? ... cute stuff like this? NO! Multiple gold sodding Mentos 🤬 gold pezz was cute though 😂

[@kaioken654]

That's so good looking I now wanna go to jack in the box

[@tmntleo]

Where the heck did you get these for a few quid? I get them for toy photography but they're like £6-8 each!

[@henryrozelaar3887]

I was really impressed by the quality of these, also I'm just gonna um actually you real quick 4:15 those are gyoza not dumplings lol

[@SonOfMuta]

That's Sashimi since there is no seaweed 5:58

[@love4unme96]

It's nigiri since it has rice.

[@libbyhanson5854]

i have a crippling addiction to buying pretty much all of these and have spent easily over £300 collecting random tiny slabs of painted plastic and cured resin :)) it's an awful terrible habit but I also source all of mine direct from the Chinese factories they're made in so I pay roughly £2-£5 per ball depending on what it is (still expensive) and then try as best as I can to use every aspect of it so I'm not wasting insane amounts of plastic. TLDR: buying one ball is a slippery slope to borderline wholesale importing a collection overseas AND hoarding enough unrecyclable plastic to singlehandedly ruin your local areas wildlife if you so wish EDIT: I also had this year's advent calendar which was....VERY hit or miss. Definitely disappointed
