Have you ever seen bananas sold in 40lb boxes at your local grocery stores growing up? Did your parents/providers ever buy bananas in boxes? Just asking because im 40 and Ive never seen bananas sold that way, but maybe you have?

Yes we used to buy them in the 40 lb boxes to make fruit baskets

First! Morning everyone! The skinny Revlon tube is lipstick. The banana company is DOLE rhymes with pole. Bazooka gum is a single serving, only 5 cents and inside the wrapper was a joke with a cartoon, usually a really bad pun. The character was Bazooka Joe. If you get a second one, please open the wrapper and see if there’s a joke . Charlie was perfume-with iconic commercial with a song, advertising to 1980’s ‘modern working women’

Thank you, came here to say this

Or having a website where you could look up the history of each item with pics side by side of the original and the miniature.

What a bummer the last package. I like the cassette, VHS, Kodak roll, and both the Crayola can and box. I haven’t seen the whole collection yet. But they are nostalgic to so many and that fact alone gives this collection a special meaning. As always, love your videos! 💛

Dude, you opened the Pringles right as I took a bite of a Pringle. 😂 I love when that kind of thing happens. Edit: "Newfangled" (new-fayngulled) basically just means something that is exceptionally different to what youre used to. So, in this case, people are used to chips being loose in bags and usually thinner, while Pringles came stacked in a can and have thicker chips. I believe "Just Born" is the manufacturing company for Hot Tamales. I used to eat those things religiously growing up, and studied the box at boring basketball games and stuff, lol.

The CHARLIE perfume commercials… and the JEAN NATÉ, they were very memorable. Fun!😊

The revlon makeup is a lipstick it's called Revlon Futurama Lipstick Case Van Cleef Arpels Vtg 1950s 582 Pearls Rhinestones . Found it on embay .And your right the other Revlon Charlie is a cologne/perfume.

28 minutes its an ultra rare invisible cloak in the package 😂

It is nail polish, or as it was referred to online as "nail enamel." I thought it was lipstick, too, so I had to look it up.

The Haribo bears are German. "Mit Farbstoff" means: with colorant

Haribo is a German confectionery company that invented the gummy bear - basically, it's not a *real* gummy bear, unless it's Haribo. "Goldbaeren" means "gold bears", "mit Farbstoff" means "with (food) coloring".

I'm in love with the cassette and videotape! That really brought me back to recording movies on TV as a kid. Definitely going to look for these! Definitely agree about the sticker for the video tape though. I would have wrote Return of the Jedi on mine lol. First favorite movie of all time

Yeah, you used the battery in the box I still use Charlie perfume, and body spray, and EverReady batteries

When pringles were new it was a cool experience to buy and open a can !

The mentos ones unlocked a lot of memories for me. Maybe because that's one of the only ones that looked the same over here in Europe. Also really liked the cassette and video tapes.

I'm in Australia and I found these in a Kmart store for $10. I definitely had to get one, now I feel so old

That is Lorraine Collet, the original 'Sun'-Maid girl She was changed, I suppose, a few times after, but definitely in 2020, when they went with a new model

You found them! My mom used to wear Charlie perfume❤ and remember most of what you got so far, love this collection. Stay Golden❤

Here in the uk we still have the Charlie perfume aswell as body spray lines etc it was really popular in 2008-2010 among teenagers! 😊

I'm not from America so I don't recognise much, but the cassette is amazing! I also love the VHS and camera film.

Haribo is a German candy company. Also can that Pez package be a retro package they released in 2017 for like some anniversary or something? Doing some research on the Pez it was a gift tine released in 2017 so oops on Mini Brands. They were 90 years old in 2017 from my Google search so that might be why that was released.

Oh my gosh are these cool! My favorites are the film, film box, the cassette tape, the VHS tape and the Bazooka gum! I took photography in the 70's and those are a great memory for me! If they make the film cannister that would be awesome! The gum was single serve and came with a comic, you saved the comics to send in for prizes!

I remember all of these. Thank you so much for doing this series, brings back alot of fond memories ❤

Hi GB great video. I just wanted to mention you didn't squeeze the gummy bears. They put a new type of foam that feels more realistic.

The white Revlon container is a lipstick case women would buy the lipstick and stick it in the case

The more I see of these, the more sold I am. Yes, please!

I really enjoy these videos, I don't know why, but then I do like super cute tiny things 😅😊. Buuuuuuut my favourite videos are watch you make the crafting miniatures especially when you do your own thing with them.

Turtle wax was used a lot on surf boards. If I remember correctly. 😊❤

I think my favorite so far is the cassette tape, I would always make my own mixtape with all of my favorite songs, I also remember sitting by my stereo back in the day and wait for a favorite song to play so I could tape it ❤

I love that collection, honestly could be the only one I will collect

Even before the black plastic canister for the film there was a yellowy-orange metal canister. And yep, I remember the STP sold in the gallon container. I definitely think the more recent Revlon nail polish bottle is a vast improvement over the older one. I think it is ugly. These minis are supposed to be from the 70's, 80's, and 90's. The Pringles used to have a white corrugated paper surrounding them to help prevent breakage. This was before the days of gas sealed canisters where the gas helps cushion the chips. UPC codes didn't start until the 70's. And, yep, no nutrition facts. Back before nutrition labels counted sodium, fats, carbs, and cholesterol there seemed to be way more vitamins in the food. I remember when cereal had 100% of your daily vitamins. The Turtle Wax now has a screw off lid so you don't need a screw driver or some implement to open the can. I think it also includes a wax sponge applicator. I'm sorry you got an empty pouch. I was hoping it was the Life magazine.

I believe that the cardboard box crayons is just a modern package that they made to look vintage, similarly to that PEZ tin. Like it’s an anniversary edition with a throwback design.

I’m looking for the “Burn Book”, “Clueless”, and a magnifying glass 🔎. They’re so hard to find here and as soon as any of them arrive, it’s just 1 box and someone takes the whole thing. 😞 I was able to complete a set of the babies by finding a box at Hobby Lobby. The next day, the whole box was gone. 🤷‍♀️

Thank you video ❤ Retro so cute mini collection. Oh no 🤦🏼‍♀️ one missing empty pouch. 😢

Charlie is a perfume, my grandma and mom wore it for years!

the revlon thing is lipstick, the number on the bottom is the shade

Omg Charlie!!! My mom used to wear Charlie when she was alive....i should buy me a bottle just to smell

This is my favourite ever series. I guess I’m retro now 😂

I remember some of the commercials for these products. Charlie perfume had music. I'm sure you could find some commercials for these out there on, hmmm, You Tube? I believe the white Revlon tube is lipstick.

Bazooka gum had like 5 or 7 little tabs of gum folded in thin paper in the box.

Hi GB! As soon as I saw there was a cassette tape & VHS tape I had to buy it on Mercari! 😁

The white and silver tube is a lipstick. Here's what I found online (for one that was for sale): Vintage Revlon Futurama 582 Lipstick Case, Van Cleef and Arpels Rhinestone and Pearl Lipstick Tube, 1950

Love the Crayola tin and the composition book!!!!!

Missed opportunities: Heresy syrup can should come with its yellow plastic top that says Hershey's on top (you make a big and small triangle holes on top with sharp end of bottle opener then seal it back with yellow lid). Film should have had black canister with grey lid. And Box should have been same type of film. Maybe this one could have had the canister that opens inside?

I was wondering when you were going to open these. So glad you did 😀👍

The Bazooka bubble gum is a single piece of gum that was scored in the middle length wise and it also had little comic strip paper inside

I found some at target and I was so happy! I was hoping you had gotten the notebook so I could see what the non luxury one was like because I ended up with 3 shiny ones! But the haribo and dumdums look so cute. Can’t wait to see you open more

I love Mini Brands! I want to collect every single one of them so I can have my very own collection of Mini brands Brands!

11:15 they actually recently brought back those vintage planters cheez balls cans. Those exact ones. I think it was just for a limited time though.

13:16 the skinny tube would be a Revlon lipstick as it has the numbers 582 on the bottom witch represent the shade colour

The raisins did go through a sight packaging change. I think it was during the early to mid 90s when nutritional information had to be included.

The everready battery was a large one that was used in old radios. It was used intact in the cardboard box. It would be just a bit larger than a velveeta. Mac and cheese delux dinner box is now

Nevermind, i dont know what i was thinking. They make it so we just get the same things over n over mostly, so we do need to keep buying alot of them to get everything, aaaahhhh!!!!❤

I remember when the Crayola's looked like that. If I remember correctly, the fancy packaging was an anniversary thing, but it actually boosted sales so much that they kept the packaging that way for more than a year. The tins weren't that much more expensive than the paperboard boxes, so it was very easy to justify getting the tins and have a sturdy storage. I think I still have a crayon tin packed away somewhere, but it was a rectangular one.

I had those crayons they were special my nana got them with trading stamps for me

The great idea you could do with the BHS tape you could print out a movie that you remember watching as a kid and then put it on the VHS tape and then it would be even more nostalgic

Love your video ❤

I remember all of these from when I was little! I loved Cheez balls. They still make them but they don't taste the same.
