I had one of these as a kid in the late 90s. I remember I had a friend from school to sleep over one weekend. We had no idea it was her birthday until she mentioned it. My mother and I were confused as to why her parents weren't doing anything for her but we said nevermind and pulled this thing out and whipped up a box cake mix we had in the pantry and did our best to do cake and ice cream for her. I still have a picture of her at our dining room table with her cake that we made.
Some companies do, but they're really not profitable as only parents tend to use them once with their children and never buy "refills" and you have to take it apart and clean it every time you use it
You can literally make icecream in seconds with some ready made custard and flavoured with some purée strawberries etc, you just put the mixture in a ziplock bag then put the bag in another slightly bigger bag then put in some ice, seal and start squeezing the inner bag with the mixture in. Within 5 minutes you’ll have ice cream. I used to make my own custard mix and and different fruits purée to it when my daughter was tiny, it made life so easy to get her to eat fruit! 😉. Fresh ice cream each day at dinner!
I had one of these! I used to eat the powder like dip n stiks. 😂 anywho, I own an ice cream shop now, and I'm pretty sure that's where my love for ice cream and candy started.
The toys of yester year were something else. I had a Peanuts snow cone maker as well as a Simon. These toys keep you engaged and sharpen your motor skills and memory.
A very similar ice cream maker was popular in Latin America in the early 2010s. The song for the commercial was funny and people still sing it to this day lol. Every kid including me wanted one
You can still use this to make simple ice cream, you don't need a flavor packet. You can just add whatever flavor you want as long as you use heavy whipping cream and sugar! If I had to guess, the toy calls for using half-and-half for ease-of-access since a lot of people in the US use it in coffee, and the flavor packet is what helps it thicken it into ice cream + adds the sugar. But if you use heavy whipping cream instead of half-and-half, you'll get the same effect at the end without needing a flavor packet, just a richer and creamier ice cream. And as for flavor you can do whatever you want... vanilla extract, strawberry, chocolate? Just add it to the heavy whipping cream along with sugar and mix it together to taste and then you can use this little ice cream maker just like normal.
У меня всё проще, есть обычная небольшая мороженица, 40 минут и у тебя 1 кг мороженого на любой вкус из сливок, сахара и любых ягод или фруктов. Без всяких химозных добавок.
I am sure if you looked up a basic ice cream recipe you could still use it if you gave it a good clean. I used to make ice cream by mixing whipped cream with condensed mill and flavourings and just freeze it.
@@darthonyx2382 I do have this. I STILL have the Baskin Robins ice cream maker. It’s put away with all my childhood goodies. And I’m not listing em all.
@@brokenplays3776My brother and I was raised by my grandparents after we lost our mom. My grandpa started his own taxi service as a side hustle cause he was living off his pension at first. My aunt before my cousin was born was the one buying me, my brother and cousins stuff. But once he was born that was it. My grandma would then save little by little for birthdays and Christmas. We were poor too, but we managed. I learned at an early age to be fugal with my money.
Those nerds remind me of the candy I found after my dad passed away. He had Star Trek asteroid candy from 1994 he was a huge fan even collected all the movies and cartoons
@@wornouthoodie he was. We had lots of hypothetical conversations over movies. Like if we were in the movie world War z would I b considered a healthy host even tho I'm disabled. We loved coming up with crazy plans if we were in different movies lol
I remember getting this growing up, I wanted it SO bad! Too bad when we went to use it the ice cream didn’t freeze well enough because my dad didn’t follow the instructions very well lol. Still a treasured memory.
I think y'all used a small amount of salt or ice. You need a lot of salt in the ice, and btw if it mixes with the milk for whatever reason it won't condensate either (but I bet y'all knew that already😅)
This was the last Christmas gift I got from my dad two days before he passed away from a massive heart attack😔😔😔He asked me what I wanted for Christmas and he actually got it for me...I kept it for years until I couldn't use it anymore.
Also, you can put milk, or cream preferably, and sugar into a ziploc bag, seal it well, and put it in inside of a pickle jar, or other large jar with a watertight lid, with ice and salt, then kick it around the house for a few minutes. You can also put your small bag in a bigger bag and shake it, but I definitely recommend using freezer bags because they're thicker, and you don't want salty ice water in your ice cream. Also, wrap it in a towel to protect your hands from frostbite. Shaking it gets tiring pretty fast, too.
Are you kidding me! This has to be one of the coolest things besides the easy bake oven to exist in the 1990! Thanks for sharing so retro! Gotta get one oh my goodness. 😊 Perfect time of year too. Hehe 🌞
McDonald's use to have a make it yourself toy as well where you made fries from bread and the hamburger from like rice krispies....the 90s had the best toys.
@@LoriCravatt-mh5em👏 that sucks. You have a horrible road ahead of you. My grandfather turned blind from diabetes and ended up so weak, he was paralyzed. Diabetes killed him. That's not something you want to brag about having. 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Wtf is wrong with people??
@@queen_goddess6939Dude are you ok? You just told someone that their life is going to be hell cause of a question they asked…. It didn’t sound like they were bragging either, just stating a fact
Honestly this is an example of they dont make them like they used to, if it wasnt for the ancient powder and sweets that are almost as old as me I would eat that lol and truthfully I'm still slightly tempted to have a nibble.
Planned obsolescence was a thing back then I know but it wasnt to the same degree, trust me the amount of old tech and toys I've fixed up or salvaged over the years is a lot, but the stuff today is basically bound for the bin as soon as it breaks, or the parts cost make it so it's not really worthwhile vs just buying a new item as i could use the time spent on other jobs.
I LOOOVVED THESE SOOO MUCH!! I had the McDonald's one too and the soda machine ones!!! Oh and I loved Tinker Bell play which isn't around anymore either ! 😭 WHY DO THEY ALWAYS TAKE AWAY THE BEST THINGS! WHY?!
Omg how nostalgic. I had one of those and it was fun making ice scream using it. Sadly my mom gave it away cause of the cleaning process. I don't remember it being that small so I guess I was really that little when I had it XD
We sure did. I had so much fun growing up in the 90s. I had a perfume kit where you could make and bottle your own perfume, a jewelry maker where there’d be gems and you put them in a solution to get them out of the rocks they were encased in. Oh, and my brother and I had this science candy making kit, you could make jelly candy that looked like brains. It was so fun! You just made me remember all those toys. They were so creative back then. And yes, I also had an easy bake oven.
If you want to make icecream with the same methodology, look for homemade "salt bag" icecream recipes online. You need a big bag with salt and ice, and a smaller bag with milk and sugar and vanilla extract, or whatever else the recipe calls for. Put the small bag in the big bag with the ice and salt, and shake it around for much longer than you think you need to. The recipe will tell you how long, go longer though. We did it in summer daycare once, really fun!
What's the taste and flavorwise like? I'm a bit curious on that one since for me taste and flavor(and TeXture!) Is what matters, so do appearance too, not all the time. Depends.
I still have mine!! I got this and my snoopy snow cone maker out for my kids to use when they were little and they loved it as much as i did. They both still work. ❤ we just made our own ice cream starter which is what we did when i was little too. Once i ran out of the powders that came with it momma didn't buy anymore, she just made a big bowl of ice cream base with cream and whatever else needed and we'd get a little coffee cup full of it to make our ice cream. We made different flavors of swirls in it with jams momma also made throughout the year, strawberry, fig, muscadine, watermelon, pear, plum... and we'd add chocolate syrup, caramel or hot fudge that you put on top of ice cream made some delicious ice cream, also peanut butter if you melt it first thenmix it with the base was sooooogood... ooowee now i wanna go get it back out and make some!!
I'd actually love to track one of these down, seems like a good way to make some icecream at home with not too much of a hassle and you cont actually need to have those powder things
I got this for Christmas one year. Honestly one of my favourite Christmases of my childhood. I loved this thing. I don't remember using it for long/often though. The mixes were hard to find in my area and the thing took FOREVER to churn.
