Mini Brands could have done a holiday themed calendar with products that are usually only available during the season or are more common. All the tinned cookies, popcorn, chocolates and so on (and a butterball turkey would be pretty funny as one as well)

[@C.K.Productions]

That’d be so cool!!! I’d love to see mini versions of Halloween cereals like Count Chocula, Frankenberry, and Boo Berry.

[@rougnashi]

This is the second opening of this year's mini brands advent calendar I've watched. For anyone wondering, all the items are the same between each box so there's no point in buying a second unless you have more than one mini brands collector in your life. Hope this helps!

[@kattyberg246]

Thank you so much for this, was considering getting it for the surprise but now that I’ve seen it there’s not much point lmao

[@rougnashi]

@@kattyberg246 I'm so sorry I ruined the surprise for you :( But given how much cheaper the calendar is to the balls I wanted people to be aware before they went out and bought two thinking they were saving money. Happy collecting to you, though!

[@valentinaodriozola2103]

I watch 2 or 3 unboxings and they were completely different

[@rougnashi]

@@valentinaodriozola2103 really? The two I've seen have been the same, right down to the non-exclussive rares, even the regular Hershey syrup and golden Hershey syrup and everything. Maybe there's a few different sets? Unsure how you'd know which one you're getting.

[@pikapal91746]

I tested this out last year I bought one before Jackie reviewed it. It had the same items in a different order.

[@PristinePanda]

i think if you didnt already have so many, you would be less dissatisfied with this advent calendar. this is good for someone who doesn't have any mini brands yet. its cheaper than buying the 5 packs and its a fun activity. so you get something fun to do and start your collection of mini brands at a much cheaper cost.

[@Manahlynn]

Came to say this! :)

[@jennifermatherne2113]

Jackie: I don't like the boxes! Also Jackie: Give me a box of cereal!

[@dakota7314]

That's what I thought 😂. Also: "noo don't let the box spoil what you get" and : "so you don't actually get the items on the box 😐".... oh Jackstar we love you!!

[@cinamon9843]

I was thinking the same thing “please don’t spoil us in the box” proceeds to be angry that you don’t get the ones in the box And then “i don’t like the boxes because they’re lazy” and, “i want a cereal box” are too very contradictory things to say

[@tiffanymichaels2429]

I was just about to comment on that 😆

Jackie: Hates getting boxes Gets only two boxes in 24 Also Jackie: Disappointed she didn't get... a box.

So Revlon Cherries In The Snow is one of the oldest lipstick shades in existence, it was first released in 1953! It's also very pretty (I own it) and it's pretty iconic. I was very sad when I heard Revlon were in financial trouble earlier this year, but they haven't disappeared just yet! (I think I own more lipsticks by them than any other brand. Considering I have hundreds of lipsticks as I collect them I'd say that's saying something!)

[@rjustin23]

it was one of the first real lipsticks I bought. I also felt sad about the closing I do use their liquid foundation.

[@sapphireseptember]

@@rjustin23 They haven't gone completely! Take heart, dear one. 😊 Hopefully things will start to look up. I don't want them to go, so I hope they can hang in there.

My grandmother used to have a set of mini Coke bottles in a mini crate, from like the 50's. They were tiny and made of actual glass with actual brown liquid inside them, though they couldn't be opened.

[@michellevideos1220]

Cute😭

[@kristenwoods5239]

They actually still make these! Although they no longer put the brown liquid in them. I have a set from the Corning Museum of Glass.

[@lauracoupe860]

My dad used to collect Coca Cola stuff and he had that too!!! I always thought it was cool :)

[@Leena79]

I think this was one of the better ones you've opened, I love how detailed everything is. I wouldn't expect actual value for your money in these calendars, because there is certainly extra price added for the element of surprise and because 'tis the season.

[@gilded_lady]

This. People get fixated on value, but rarely do you ever get your value because rarely do you use every last thing. People need to look at this as fun lead ups to holdays first and foremost.

[@idk4721]

Indeed, most the price is for the experience of opening each day leading up to that final one.

[@JayofallTrades]

The Kool aid bottles were really popular in the 90s along with a brand called mondo that the little cap twisted off and you could drink it immediately after. Downside to this design was they spilled and didn't have a replacement top so you either left it open, drank it all at once, or transferred it to another container.

[@irenerichards9533]

Mondo was superior (for me) because you got more juice

[@Izzy-cp8yt]

I'm surprised the advent calendar exclusives aren't holiday special editions of foods. Oreo usually does red and green oreos, Terry's chocolate oranges are a holiday tradition in my family, egg nog, those sugar cookies with snowman or Santa in them, the list goes on. Given that it's an advent calendar, aka a count down to christmas, why not make the exclusives christmas themed things?

[@lazyhomebody1356]

Excellent idea! Probably not cost effective. But it would have been much better

[@Izzy-cp8yt]

@@lazyhomebody1356 if they can afford to sell these things at roughly $1/item, I don't know that cost is even a concern 😅 they already partner with oreo and I think pillsbury, so it likely wouldn't even be an additional license for many things.

[@lazyhomebody1356]

@@Izzy-cp8yt Have you seen Shark Tank? They try to make things for $1.29 and sell them for $30,lol

[@maomaomi5434]

Better yet, make all the items holiday themed.

[@eliza.a9153]

I don't know if anybody has mentioned this already but I thought it would be funny if you could, whenever you unboxed Mini Brands, wave a" mini" sharp pointy thing at us.😅😂 And by the way, you wouldn't actually have to use it to open the packages unless it's functional lol 😂😂 Just an idea...😅

[@nicoleabed2480]

I bought last year's and this review still lives in my head rent free. You're welcome 😊 😁 “No actual food items, doll house size versions- will make good props for elf on shelf but don’t think a kid would be excited for advent calendar.”

[@1littleraven]

Just throwing this out there. My mom got me some babybel cheese in a mini 6 pack I think. The wax from the cheese was really good for sculpting . I made a little raven head .

[@lazyhomebody1356]

What a good idea!

[@karinberonius8799]

I've seen someone make a candle of the wax. Just imagine the smell...🤢

[@thatsMRjames]

i would love to see a cashier's reaction to someone bringing up a basket of groceries but its all mini brands.... but also as a cashier i would hate it lol

[@justylex]

As a long time doll collector and polymer clay artist, I actually like that the scales vary. Some things work great with 1:3 size (AG, Smart Doll), others with 1:4 (Minifee, Tonner), and others with 1:6 (Barbie).

[@SimplyLiliaCraft]

Jackie is literally the definition of relatable 💜

[@erin24705]

So true! 😂

[@Abigails_channel]

True 😂

[@judyeuller7602]

Since I've never seen these before, I think it's a great calendar. I wouldn't expect the miniatures to be proportional to each other. But that's just me.

[@teijaflink2226]

Yeah as then the babybell as example would be super tiny and others would be dissapointed about the value with that. Sure people who want to use these as doll house props probably get dissapointed but I would think most prefer they are all same scale.

[@judyeuller7602]

@@teijaflink2226 I was thinking the same thing about the Babybel.

[@arijj8629]

I agree👍, they're mini brands, just miniature versions of a product. So i think its reasonable that they aren't proportional to each other. Plus I think if they were portioned some would be hard to read, like the baby bell being smaller than the syrup

[@littlemizredhead]

TINY KOOL-AID BURST!!! this is the first time I have ever wanted a mini SO BAD! Those were my childhood.

I still wonder how Jackie would react opening a Pokémon Advent Calendar, maybe she might enjoy it(I’m just saying)😅🥰😉

Can I just say how much I love you unboxing all these advent calendars. I know most make you salty but I really enjoy these types of videos, plus it saves us from wasting money on all the hype only to be let down. Thank you for doing them again this year!

[@jlouisa]

If you try to get the frozen moment mini brands, I suggest feeling the containers for the heaviest. I did that and got two of them. Worth a try.

[@amandahill7540]

The kool-aid squeeze it is awesome! My favorite!

[@desireelaird7513]

I was just thinking how hot it usually is on December 24th. And how an Icee would be perfect to cool you off... And then I remembered I live in a cold climate and that an Icee really isn't very Christmas-y at all! What were they thinking? It could have been hot cocoa or sugar cookies or candy canes! But, no, it's an Icee. Sometimes blind boxes give me secondhand trauma, js.

[@tarynriver]

Lol I live in Florida it’s hot in December here an icee would be great 😂😂

[@verenaschneider7347]

That is so funny. As a German I never thought anything about calling these kinds of sausages "Wiener" it is just their name. Well that changed a bit when I learned English😂

[@nicanonymus2491]

Haha, der war gut! 😂 The more you know…. 😮

[@TwiggyHetfield27]

As an American with German roots, I've been calling them, hot dogs, wieners, & frankfurters (it's how I was raised). Imagine my surprise when someone had to explain to me what Wiener schnitzel was 😅 I was VERY confused.

[@dakynclark6580]

Watching Jackie's videos always make my day better ♥

[@NotInaiyaRobloxOfficial]

I agree

[@sarahpearce5669]

My favorite part of this video is the fact that I have a box of Mike and Ike Mega mix at my desk currently. They must have changed the box since this series came out, but it looks pretty similar. It is a wonderful coincidence that made me smile. Also, the Babybell cheese is probably actually similar in size to the apple pie seasoning, since it is the small type of seasoning jar that is common in the US.

[@Leriehane]

The Sour Cream and the Ketchup pringles are my favourites! But the classics are always good

[@silverhoney6969]

This videos are so fun and cute to watch! And I’m so thankful I don’t have to go buy them myself 😂 Jackie you are amazing Ketchup & Mustard talk: I will eat balls, but never was really big on either. But I started mixing them together 1 to 1 and I really like that combination better then alone! I think if you add in couple dashes of the hot sauce that you like, that would be an amazing condiment Edit: ok that Collagen Creamer was a head trip - it has a brand name just like a fancy skin care line would be. And the beige container…. And then Collagen…. So for them to say Creamer and make it food is a 180. What world do people put collagen in their coffee?

[@EmKoolaid]

I think that if minibrands is going to do an advent calendar, they should be all exclusives and all seasonal. Like peppermint coffee creamer, Christmas sugar cookies, and gingerbread house kits!

[@mrssharms3335]

😂😂😂 I don’t know if meat sticks is worse than Wieners!😉 you make me laugh so hard Jackeh. Thank you for another great video

[@Melanie_27]

I got the advent calendar last year and I loved it. I live in the states and I believe it was like $25. Also for anyone confused the exclusives aren’t the gold ones or anything if you look on the collector sheet for mini brands it shows that if it has a certain picture by it it’s for something exclusive that you can get from the mini brand balls. And also last year the mini brands were not at all the same as the photo in front of it. At least for me. Jackie Probably just got rest unlucky lol. Anyway hope that at least some of this made sense if your looking to get the advent calendar. Hey this is me after watching half the video.. most of those mini brands that she got were from series 3.. UHM mini brands you got some explaining to do
