Dollar Dupes that Dollar Tree is HATED for!

[@nickvlogs8932]

I love watching your videos. We had a long night in Arkansas last night. Our house got destroyed by a tornado. Send prayers for us.

[@melanielynnification]

Omg-I know that was terrifying. I'm so sorry. Sending prayers for you and your family during this difficult time ♥️♥️♥️

[@StormWarningMom]

Oh man that's awful...😢

[@michellechambers6215]

Much love XO

[@coffeebeforemascara]

Oh my gosh. So sorry Nick. I hope your family is OK.

[@destrygraves]

I’m in my 50’s. Since the 70’s I have been mixing a spoon of conditioner with 2 tablespoons of lemon juice in a good sized spray bottle. I braid my hair and sit in the sun for 30 minutes twice a month. Different numbers of braids. This gives my brownish black hair beautiful sun streaks.

[@KawaiiNancy]

And just like that im going to try this! Thanks! 💜😍

[@pamelamccoy7359]

I used sun in back in the 60’s, so it’s been around a long time.

[@destrygraves]

Now on the other hand I will never slather myself in baby oil and iodine like I did when I first started putting lemon juice in my hair.

[@annieb1794]

I use baking soda and white vinegar, followed by a plunger.

[@donnataylor980]

Does that help the gray LOL let me know. Have a good one

[@lianedeangelo6344]

Sun in is from the 60’s. I remember my sister using it at the beach

[@kristibrown5899]

LoL Came to say I remember my sisters trying it in the late 60's, and my teenage friends in the 70's. 😅

[@sandyshirley5079]

@@kristibrown5899Same here. If your hair is medium to dark it looks more orange, though. Best to stick with dark blonde/very light bown hair. Purple rinse and purple shampoos/conditioner will tone down orange.

[@tracyeakins9239]

I use baking soda and vinegar once a month in all my drains. It fizzes beautifully, and I add a little bit of lemon juice and Bam clean drains! It lasts a long time when you buy big thing of vinegar, baking soda and lemon juice all from Dollar Tree. Not sure if allowed or helpful!

[@twistedkitty1958]

I was going to comment the same drain treatment. I also pore boiling water into the drain after the baking soda, vinegar solution has stopped fizzing.

[@tracyeakins9239]

Thanks Me too, forgot the last step to clean with hot or boiling water. Glad someone else does this :)

[@cindywolfenberger1586]

I came to the comments section because I knew y'all would have a good recipe. Thanks.

[@Nanner823]

Yes, that's what I do! When I'm feeling extra lazy I use a denture cleaner tab 🙈

[@harshreality2672]

Ha! I had ordered what I THOUGHT was just a small package of Borox (for my laundry) from the local supermarket when this whole fake "virus" started and when I saw what they gave me, lol, my eyes were all 😳! It was a huge BOX of Boron! (Same thing), but had no idea how MUCH of it I was going to get (and no, I had ordered a BUNCH of other stuff at the same time, the price wasn't crazy high to notice, but dayum! 😝 I did a quick search on Boron uses (my bathroom drain wouldn't DRAIN), so figured I'd try it out. Just add it with salt and vinegar down the drain, then let your sink run on hot for ~15mins. Fkr worked like a CHARM!!! 🤣 Still have this bigass box and drain is wonky again, but I ran out of vinegar 😬. Tried the other 2 (jus Boron and salt), but that no worky 😐. And now I'm out of salt, too, lol-but I really suggest trying it out because I was shocked at how WELL it all worked that first time!!

[@TheShyanne369]

I think the pads from DT were actually a dupe for the brand "honey pot"

[@Lifewithsharifa]

I thought this as well. Honey pot has essential oils in some of their pads and their packaging looks similar

[@victoriaelena6008]

100%

[@gingerhitzke9185]

Sometimes Vivian really cracks me up. Talking about DT scent being off 😂😂😂

[@izzyjones7108]

IT IS

[@robylove9190]

Baking soda and vinegar works great in drains. It doesn't smell good but, you can add some lemon juice.

[@donnataylor980]

You are right about that I add a little Dawn also itworks great. Have a good one😊

[@purrbugaloo]

Do you know you can put baking soda in your drain and pour vinegar on it and it will fizz and clean better than those tablets?

[@OneRandomDolly]

None of your videos are showing on my feed, I completely forgot about this channel and then you popped into my mind, I thought you had stopped. I searched and found you're still uploading! Couldn't be happier

[@Vivian_Tries]

☹️

[@krissykosjer4420]

OMG Sun-In ! 🤣 That was the rage in the day 🤣

[@martinemikita9281]

Yes!!!! It sure the hell was!!! ❤

[@tessfaust3094]

Right!? RUINS your hair. Comes out like straw. Yuck! Basically, lemon juice does the same thing.

[@adam-l74]

I appreciate Vivian so much for testing all these products.

[@donnapiotrowski7134]

Just use baking soda and vinegar - way cheaper to clean your drains. Add a little lemon juice if you want citric scent.

[@maggiew3084]

YOU were the Sun-In for my boring day!! Thanks girl!

[@barbaranardone]

Vivian, dont buy them, use Baking Soda and plain vinegar for your drains, works wonderful, I use that one a month on all my drains and it works just great.

[@jenicepye2997]

How much vinegar and baking soda do you use?

[@debbiesidebottom3299]

I pour baking soda down and then heat up on top of the stove the vinegar and poof it opens up and does the trick...I pour alot of soda down or whatever...then the vinegar....you don't need to measure...I dont...I just do it....

[@vivianjuarez8385]

Exactly I use baking soda and vinegar also 👍🏼 let it sit than pour hot water watch the volcano 🌋

[@barbaranardone]

@@jenicepye2997 I use 1/2 cup if baking soda and 1 cup vinegar on top and let it fizz & bubble wait 3 min and pour real hot water down the drain, i use it in all my drains 1 a month. and my drains are clear.

[@dianequince8761]

That's what I was going to say, works great 👍

[@W-O-G]

The scent is apple - Dollar Tree: it's orange! Go with it! Nobody will know but Vivian. 😂😂😂

[@kristysk81]

Hi Vivian! Can you do a test of the Pink Stuff dupe from Dollar Tree? It’s called the Multipurpose Cleaning Paste.

[@Lucy-mg2qe]

Would be so helpful. My local DT has them now, but been hesitant to buy it

[@emsiti1675]

It works ok on bathtubs and counters but does not work on tough dried grease/ food like in pots and pans or oven. it does work like an Ajax or comet paste on " fresh" stains or splatters but not as efficient as Bar Keepers cleaners.

[@missMediaChick]

I saw someone test it recently and they said it works for light cleaning but it's not really anything great.

[@Dulceamor510]

I heard it is not good

[@eva-justice-heath7053]

I actually used it to clean the interior of my sons car. He hadn't detailed it since he bought it 2 years ago and I thought I'd surprise him while he was out of town. It worked a small MIRACLE on that car! WHO KNEW his interior was BEIGE??? 😅

[@goldenamik322]

Loop that paci clip on your purse and clip your big hat to it. Just did this for my tropical vacation.

[@katherinehendrix5325]

As a Cosmetologist I would not recommend using Sun In, it contains metals and if you get certain chemical services done it will destroy your hair. Use with caution. (The company may have changed certain elements in the last couple decades, but I would still advise to use with caution. Also, if you do use it and go to a Salon to get a service done, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tell your stylist that you have used this product!) 😊

[@coffeebeforemascara]

TRUTH!!!!!

[@ItsJustJessOkay]

Vivian said, "I'm tired... Can we try tomorrow?" like she's heard that line before. 😂😂

[@winterlite3243]

⚡️Yes! That’s the line I wanted to copy and paste! Lol 😂 I love how Vivian’s videos alway have that special line or two that’s so freakin’ funny!

[@jetstander]

😂

[@tessfaust3094]

Baking soda followed by distinctive vinegar...fizz away!

[@deborc2705]

Just use baking soda with vinegar. No extra chemicals.

[@MommaLousKitchen]

Yup

[@Cutthecamerasdeadass1899]

That and if you want suds with a scent, add your favorite body wash

[@amberreed7704]

If you haven’t tried the honey pot company pads and liners, I would highly recommend. The company is black woman owned, the products are organic, and the herbal infused ones are amazing.

[@kathy9399]

Hey Vitches (if you know, you know) let's share Vivian's videos and get her to 500k, she deserves it. It doesn't seem like that long ago when we were working to get her to 100k, so we should be able to do this quickly. Plus I think it would be a great gift for her because her daughter should have given birth by now (and her mom's been ill) and she's still putting out these videos like crazy. I'm pretty sure she'd rather be spending time with her new grandbaby, but nope she's working hard giving us what we want!!!

[@patriciap9307]

Great idea, but I find it almost impossible to believe she has a grandbaby!! Wow! 😳 I am following all of her skin care tips for sure now!!

[@KKonYouTube]

​@@patriciap9307that's EXACTLY my reaction!!

[@shelly2094]

Yayyyy it's Vivian time! My favorite KZbinr of all time!

[@MakeSomethingwithAmy]

The pads and pantry liners are dupes of Honeypot. Even the packaging is the same….and infused with essential oils!

[@missMediaChick]

Pad brand called Honeypot?! That's hilarious! 🤣

[@sukarichristian9039]

Vivian, Vivian, Vivian, u no u wrong for saying "Before you realize it you will have a stack of Dollar Tree fizzy tablet causing a drain problem. That's also frigginh hilarious.

[@anneo3754]

I remember Sun in from the 60's. It works as well as lemon juice for lightening blonde hair. I only colored my hair a few times for Halloween. I went around with a green hue for almost a month after using wash out color 🤣 When you go on your cruise, take a checked bag the restrictions are mostly for carry-on. Check with your airline and cruise line before packing. Some stuff you just can't take at all. I'm planning a cruise for next year and they are pretty strict about some stuff you wouldn't think would matter because of fire safety laws.

[@sonyafox3271]

Sun In never came out till the 80s!

[@brittanyburden901]

I just love Vivian, she’s so fun, funny and honest. I think those dollar tree pads are dupes of honey pot

[@SarahhJean]

I work at an Amazon fulfillment center, and I can tell you…there is SO much dust there lol

[@Cutthecamerasdeadass1899]

Auntie Vivan back at it again helping the crew ❤

[@monicacandoit88]

Thank you for #4!!! I use sun in and if my hair gets orangey I use blue or purple shampoo. They have one at the dollar tree.

I used sun in in the 70’s when I was a teenager growing up in Florida.

[@tanishahogan9396]

Thank you for doing the pad test…I had been seeing those organic ones start to appear and was curious.

Hello Vivian. It's great how you warn people what to buy. Everyone is feeling inflation and need guidance. Thank you. 🇨🇦🙋‍♀️❤❤

[@oceanfishfl]

Sun In absolutely does work with a hair dryer! That’s how I lightened my bangs in the 80’s! 😂😂😂

[@tammyeble8304]

🌞Sun In came out the yr I was born 1970. And I started using it in 1981. Ah the good ole days.

Love when you do the dupe comparison!❤

[@yvettejordan-granberry598]

Vivian - thank you so much for testing the new b-pure organic sanitary pads. I bought a set for my pre-teen granddaughter in the hope they'd work. Thanks for the confirmation!

[@ggymnastgirl]

Essential oils can be really irritating to the private parts, I would highly recommend finding an alternative if you’re able to. I like L brands because they’re organic and not tested on animals and all that good stuff, but I do understand it’s hard to beat the dollar tree price point. No judgement just sharing my favorite :)

[@DesertSkiesAV]

Funniest line:: “…that way they’re always looking snatched and contoured.”

[@Rhondas_Flippin_Life]

Omg Sun In☀️🤷‍♀️ In the 90's as a teenager I use to use one of those plastic highlight caps, pull my hair through, drench my chuncks of hair with Sun In and then chill for hours in my backyard at the pool along with the brown bottle of tan oil thickly coated all over cuz you know, the more the better lol... the 90's I miss you 💔

[@KatyWatson173]

Sun-In definitely was an 80s thing first as I used it in the early 80s when I was in college. 🙂💖🐈🐈‍⬛

[@Thefunkyone2]

LOL, been there with Sun- in, did that. =) In the early-mid 80's. 1 time I permed it after I sun-in'd it... IT WAS SOOOO BURNED. Had to cut all my hair off! I was in Junior high... Never used it again. Don't get a perm after you sun-in. LOL.

[@gailgarcia8782]

These are MY FAVORITE VIVIAN Videos !!! Love them 💖💖💖

Came here to say the same!! 😂

[@carrierussell6013]

Yep!

[@totesmegoatscrystal9688]

Im impressed with dollar tree pads.

[@mandalynn4571]

I use to pay outrageous prices for hair color and found my color at the Dollar Tree for $1.25 and can't tell any difference between the most expensive one to the one from Dollar Tree and now that is where I always purchase hair color from. Sometimes their products work the same or even better than what you pay full price for. Thanks for another Dollar Dupes videos I enjoy them!

[@babikatspelman2308]

Thanks for the tip!! Been considering buying some!! Tried one "name brand" and it literally washed out in 1 SHAMPOO instead of 6-8 shampoos...

[@deejustdee4752]

I bought DT Hair color one time, and it made my hair fall out. Will NEVER buy it again.

[@JJJoeJoe]

Because you’re paying for the brand name. Dollar Tree products are not name brand, but they practically have the same ingredients as the big companies.

[@latishahill5745]

Me too works perfect

[@kerprice]

Also the dollar tree makeup setting spray, with pink label works better than some high end ones I've tried, especially since I still have to wear a mask at work

[@Greeneyedowl13]

Vivian, the problem is that DT never has those items in stock. At least not in my stores. You may see it once and then never again or never at all.

[@eva-justice-heath7053]

It's because when people DO find them, they buy them ALL instead of one or two and leaving some for everyone else.

[@beckymcdaniel6402]

alka seltzer tablets work exceptionally as well as the drain tablets also the denture tablets too

[@HTNPSullivan]

Talking about Sun-in reminded me of when I rinsed my hair, after shampooing it, with beer and then setting it with giant wiry rollers. It actually gave my fine hair more body and the set lasted longer. I don't know the science behind it. My hair would smell like beer until it dried. My step father wasn't happy about my using his beer on my hair. Made the bathroom smell like a brewery, too.

[@debbiesidebottom3299]

You can pour beer on roses etc and you should see them sing....my husband did this neighbor's would stare like how could you all pour all that beer on roses etc....

[@melanielynnification]

That's actually pretty funny not the styling your hair part but the bathroom smelling like a brewery after comment and your step dad being ticked off about "his" beer being used on your head! Thanks for the laugh! Lol! 😂😂😂

[@cathycoryell2351]

Hops. Hops in the beer helped your hair set with curlers.😊

[@lethiapage4767]

You don't need either of the drain tablets. You could also try denture tabs or dishwasher tabs...whats the price on these? Or make some baking soda with citric acid from the canning section. Add only enough water to one of them to make a wet sand and then add the other and press into an ice tray.

[@Krisna_K]

I use baking soda and vinegar followed by hot water to do the same exact thing! Things I already have in my house! Using abrasives in you pipes too much can cause damage to your pipes though!

[@nikinthemidwest1915]

Vivian out here doing full on public service! Testing the way tests need to be done! Way to go!

[@amandahill7540]

The sea salt spray is supposed to give u like beach hair, so like the beach curls. Just so u know that it's to add that sea sprayed hair look.

[@trademarktm2222]

Those feminine products look like HONEYPOT Dupes. 👍🏽

[@samanthajohnson3368]

I can't believe it's still called Sun In. That took be right back.

[@AmyStotts]

For fizzy drain cleaner, dump a little baking soda in the drain, a drop of 2 of essential oil, and pour vinegar in there. After 15 minutes, dump in a small pot of boiling water. I've done that for years and as long as your sink isn't totally clogged, it works.

[@dawnbaker8023]

Totally agree on the Sun In. Just used it and it worked. I'm 52 and have darker red hair.

[@darlenelipuma7769]

Sun In.......I used it in the 60's!!!! The whole thing with Sun In is that it only works WITH THE SUN! Never heard of it working with a hair dryer. Spray a small section, and comb it in.

[@missMediaChick]

It does work with a dryer. Used to do it in the 80's, lol!

[@jerritanner275]

Sun In was definitely popular in the early 80’s & I’m pretty sure it was popular in the late 70’s when I was in high school.

[@saltydog7038]

I have the sea salt spray! I think it is a really good deal if you have a hair texture that it works on. The idea is that your hair looks the way it does if you've been swimming in salt water. It also is similar to when you work up a sweat and your hair looks good but you know it's dirty and you have to shower or you know sexy bed head

[@beejisback8162]

These dupes are awesome today Viv! Thank You for sharing! And as always Great Video! ❤

[@joycemitchum7024]

Sun In was around in the mid 70’s. I was a kid and my mom would put it in my hair.

[@reddolly27]

Baking soda and vinegar is the answer. for the drain. A little lemon juice for lighting your hair.

[@jeaninethomas1398]

GREAT DUPES !🙌 💯💗🤍💓

[@rhondaackerman1486]

I love watching you, you are so freaking funny, you crack me up

[@haggielady]

Where can you get a Plummer for a trip fee of $69.99? It's at least $100 in Florida.

[@rhondao7316]

I enjoyed seeing you brand name vs dollar tree. That helps so much! Thank you for what you do!

[@GG.098]

I used the Sun In back many many years ago. I also used lemon juice it worked better.

[@kay9520]

Vivian! I would read what the ingredients are on the drain cleaner tablets, If they are Sodium Bicarbonate, (baking soda) and Acetic Acid (vinegar) you can save even more!! Back in my youth, we used to use Lemon Juice on the hair, then some sun time, to lighten things, (I think that was what sun in used to be made with, I forget, it was the 70's after all!)

[@Olivia_Nicole1999]

I love the bpure ,overnight pads , heavy and regular . They work amazing !

[@geebrewer8186]

Sun In, now that takes me back to the early 70s when I was a lifeguard lol

[@Emeraldmidst]

I've used only lemon in the sun with success as well organic sea salt spray. I have thin hair and it provides so much volume.😊

[@cherylhale5755]

All you need to fizzy-clean your drains, is a bit of baking soda and white vinegar poured down them. Easy peasy.

[@kristalhumphreys4621]

Vivian is the best 🤣

New Meme: Vivian head cartoon with the caption : " I'm done. I'm tired. Can we try tomorrow?" 🤣

[@beautiesfoodies8790]

I didn't know sun in was still around nostalgia absolutely

[@memelp11]

To clean my kitchen drain, like every few months I got to DT and get a toilet bowl brush. BRAND NEW, I stick it under that black piece with some cleaner and just try to scrub around in there gently bust until the brush is clean. Run and brush with hot water. I always toss the brush after one use because it’s gross. But the drain smells so much better.

[@kimpaynter]

[@jenniferd264]

My review for the Drain cleaners …. Go with the Name Brand. I’ve tried them. DT’s didn’t clog it but it did nothing. Use Lemon or Orange Peels or Ice and baking Soda! 😊

[@DesertSkiesAV]

I’ve got news for ya, Vivian: Sun In has been around since the 1970s!! Every girl wanted to look like Farah Faucet. ❤

[@MSKING-et8qu]

I bought the Dollar Tree brand pads and I like the liners and the regular one. The overnight was not for me because it was too long but also the smell is great for changing in public restrooms because you have a nice lavender smell do nobody knows that your changing. Also it keeps you smelling fresh. 😊

[@yvonnemcnaughton455]

I use the Dollar Tree drain cleaner in the utility sink in our garage. Really kills foul odors.

[@izzyjones7108]

Hey for the drain. Things... just use baking soda some essential oil and a splash of white vinegar...
