Back when they were starting to change out the Nintendo 64 toys for whatever was next. My dad was able to ask one of the employees if he could have the large Mario window sticker they displayed on the glass windows for advertisement. We still have it on a clear panel to this day :)

Not gonna lie, when I was getting kids meal toys as a kid, I would ALWAYS prefer the ones that were just plastic toys that didn't do anything except maybe move its arms/legs/head. The toys that did stuff were always interesting, but I was done with them in, like...10 seconds. But if they were just plastic figures, I could use them like action figures, so I got a lot more out of them. Those were my favorites.

[@kozo213]

Honestly, same I remember BK in Turkey had a line of Sponge Bob toys that were just different action figures of stylized SBs with different outfits, I got damn near all of them and used them as action figures all the time The only “interactive” ones I liked were the ones that either were flat out videogames (those tiger LCD esque ones) or if the interactive button was discreet enough that the figure didn’t look weird haha

[@quandaledinglish6370]

Same lol

[@Unicornmazda]

Same here fast food plushies are my favorite

[@XWierdThingsHappenX]

My favorites where the stuffed animals. For the exact same reasons as you. It was a more versatile toy. It could be anything you want it to be. So it didn't get boring.

[@Wyrlwind]

i kinda like when these old fast food toys are based on specific levels or areas from games. It took me a minute to realize at first, but I assume the first toy was based on wario stadium

[@GalaxyWisp]

You're correct, I once had this and can confirm that to be the case.

[@hausofpancakes]

This unlocked a deep memory. I had the controller toy, the DK tree and the diamond pyramid puzzle thing when I was a kid. Good times.

[@michaelkaduck1915]

I imagine if I was a kid when these came out, I would have probably played that Donkey Kong game for hours. I imagine as an adult I'd just put it on my desk for display lol

[@eliadealoua]

Taco bell had Digimon cards in their kid meals in 2000. And Dairy Queen use to have toys in their kids meals too. I miss those days. lol

[@LotteYanson]

They also had Cardcaptor Sakura toys in 2002 and Earthworm Jim toys in 1996. I never even knew Taco Bell had kids meals until this video and me looking them up. Based on the amount of toy lines they had it seemed kinda off and on whether or not they’d have toys. That or not all toy lines were recorded

[@connorburton1009]

Dixie Kong is technically in Mario kart tour, but... Literally everyone is in Mario kart tour, so that's really not that impressive.

One of my favorite commercials actually promotes these! It's mario and DK racing and Mario pulls into Taco Bell, the Marii comes cruising next to donkey kong in his new Ferrari. Wait maybe it wasn't a Ferrari

[@Sparkymuffin]

8:30 This Yoshi is my white whale. My brother got it in a meal, I loved Yoshi so he gave it to me, and then it disappeared between my 5th birthday and 6th and I still haven't found it. It's gotta be in that house somewhere...

[@boredomisinfinity5642]

God man, everytime I look at you I keep thinking "This man is ageless" You've kept such a consistent look over the years, it's crazy.

[@TheLazyShell]

This was a fun one because I have SO much nostalgia for this particular set. (It might even be the first Nintendo fast food promotion I ever experienced.) I had the Yoshi and the DK and despite the former being the "under 3" deliberately simple toy, I loved the crap out of him because he was honestly one of the best plain old Yoshi figures you could get around that time. (I STILL have him, in fact!) Also, fun fact: this whole promotion was originally going to be themed around ONLY Banjo-Kazooie, but the game got delayed into the next year, causing them to make it a "general" Nintendo promotion instead. Oh to experience the alternate timeline where we could get Bear and Bird toys at Taco Bell...

[@FlyingDuckMan360]

@Keifer Martin According to a promotional image, there were supposed to be five toys. I think they would have consisted of Banjo and Kazooie together, Mumbo, Bottles, Tooty, and Grunty.

[@JR1cktheSk3tchy]

A BnK promo would've been neat tbh

[@shutupsprinkles]

THEY SURE DID and this is super nostalgic hahaha, the closest fast food locations we had growing up were Taco Bell, BK, and McDonald’s. I’m tellin’ ya, taco bell dog plushies video hehehehe

[@StarGaleSky7]

I love how simple but insanely FUN these videos are. I hit Like every time because I love this channel. Editing is S-tier as always.

[@Dekomata]

peebs being unaware of these taco bell toys made me realize how old i really am. because i remember getting a couple of these with a taco bell kids meal back in the day (the 3d maze and mario kart maze). I especially remember there being a sweepstakes around this time that if you get a specific coin from your medium or large soda, you can win an n64 (obviously I won nothing because i was just a 7 year old back then).

[@Peebs]

I was also seven! I guess my family just didn’t go to Taco Bell much when I was little. Iirc we didn’t even have one for a while. It was some local fast food place instead.

[@Tacomaz125]

I always love these fast food toy videos and i had NO clue taco bell did that 😂 very excited to watch ☺

[@FlyingDuckMan360]

Animal Fun Fact: Banjo-Kazooie was supposed to have a kids' meal tie-in with Taco Bell in late 1997. Due to Rareware missing the original deadline for the game that was instead filled in by Diddy Kong Racing, the promotion was scrapped and this promotion was made in its place.

[@haachamachama7]

2:25 Nowadays with the intronets you can just look all this stuff up, but when i was 7 when this Taco Bell stuff came out, I would've KILLED for this!

[@breezierchip8355]

Commenting PURELY for the algorithm, Peebo. Love your content, and you totally deserve more viewers and subscrimbles.

[@Peebs]

Much appreciated!

[@FoxMan_FF]

Yeah, it's hard to believe that at one point Taco Bell did in fact have kid's meals! I distinctly remember the set of 4 Pokémon plush toys, released well before Pokémon had really hit it big- the plushies in particular feel like completely random choices (Zubat, Vulpix, Seel and Dratini iirc) because it wasn't a fully established franchise yet with a recognizable mascot decided upon. EDIT: _That was KFC, actually, not Taco Bell._ My bad.

[@ChargeQM]

KFC and Taco Bell were owned by the same corporation IIRC, so some Taco Bells were combined with KFCs. Technically, you could have gotten Taco Bell and KFC together and associated the toy with TB that way.

[@KougajiCalling]

I have the Vulpix and the Zubat... They have been well loved. But they were so soft!

[@BugsyFoga]

Cause even Taco Bell wanted hop in on the Nintendo kids meal toys bandwagon.

[@TheToodlesTeam]

These were some of my favorite fast food toys as a kid! I played with that Mario 64 marble maze all the time, and I think I actually still have the Mario Kart 64 controller shaped toy.

[@IrukaManiaClips]

I never even knew that Taco Bell had options for kids meals even tho I went several times before they stopped selling it.

[@mundane_in_the_membrane]

12:20 I can't believe Taco Bell released the Millennium Puzzle as a Mario toy...

[@fizz576]

Not gonna lie the joystick on that toy isn't that much of a decrease in quality from the one on the n64 controller.

[@alecrisser12]

5:01 I had one of those in my toy van when I was a kid but I didn't know what it was until now. I knew it looked a little bit like a 64 controller.

[@SnailSnail622]

My grandparents used to have the Mario Kart toy in a toy basket in the back room. I don't even think they knew what it was, and I had no idea at the time what Mario Kart even was, but the memory of it stuck with me.

The most interesting this I got out of this video was that Seattle has a Pinball Museum. Halfway through I just look at Peeb's shirt and do a double take realizing that it just says Seattle Pinball Museum. I regret not knowing this fact last year when I took a birthday trip up to Washington.

[@strange_tom]

Interesting

[@Robert-oy1eq]

You just unlocked a memory of childhood! I had all of those toys as kid, but in my country, you didnt get them from Taco Bell but from Pizza Hut

[@SuperMenaceArchives]

Hey PBG if you want a fun rabbit hole look up “Aquarium of the Aliens” it was a DVD that was a glorified screensaver for your TV, but it had lore! Taco had toys for it and funded the whole campaign. They had plans to make more DVDs but didn’t. It’s an interesting story, I have the DVD.

[@homerman76]

I do actually have memories of seeing toys at Taco Bell, though I don't think it was ever a consistently big thing (to the point that one restaurant having toys did not mean that every other did, even in the same city 🤔)

[@RelicCipher]

last time i ever saw toys at a taco bell it was for code lyoko iirc

that yoshi toy was likely something you had to specifically ask for since it's for 0+ which is why it only shows him. probably decently rare.

Showing off the pyramid puzzle one brought back memories of being young in the 90's and how great it was to be young during that time with advertisements and video games. This video is like comfort food :)

[@Saintnick90]

Taco Bell was my go-to fast food place as a kid, so I ended up getting a lot of their kids' meal toys, including some Phantom Menace, Batman and Robin, Goosebumps and The Mask toys. From this set, I had the maze and Nintendo 64 controller, and I played around with both quite a bit, although with the controller I mostly just tilted it so I could move ahead faster. Also, I was a Sega/Playstation kid, so this was my greatest exposure to the N64.

[@3tvclarkhome]

I had the Yoshi growing up as a kid, received it out of context from a National Guard event with my dad. Coolest thing I ever got as a gift, had no idea Mario toys existed at the time. Wild it came from Taco Bell of all places lol. This was in the 90s.

I have had stomach issues with Taco Bell only twice. I don't understand why people seem to have so many problems, unless you're eating far too much.

[@mickeymouse12678]

@@ChargeQM I wonder if people are overloading it on the fire sauce or something? Or maybe they are also drinking too much? I've never had much of an issue eating at Taco Bell either and I sometimes can have a pretty sensitive stomach. The few times I've had a problem while having Taco Bell, I was super drunk. And drinking messes up my stomach so I don't think it had anything to do with the Taco Bell.

oh god this specific set of taco bell toys...boy this takes me back. between me and my brother we had got all but the donkey kong maze, and surprisingly enough the Yoshi doll was the coveted possession between my brother and me. I dont know who got it originally, but we would fight over it constantly because we both loved yoshi so much. looking back i was a jerk using my age to my advantage (my brother was like 3 and i was 9), but i think i did eventually keep the doll and still have it in a box somewhere. now the most fun one for me was indeed the mario maze. i remember spending hours with that thing, running through the entire circuit of the maze multiple times, putting it away for months, then picking it back up again to do it all over again. good times.
