I've always loved Popin Cookin kits but noticed them starting to be harder and harder to find. A lot of sellers on Amazon no longer offer them and there seems to be fewer new kits coming out in general. A typical candy kit used to have many DIYs that were relatively simple to make and you end up with several types of miniature foods. I find that a lot of the newer kits use more complex science such as multi-step spherification. There's also another current kit which lets you mix and match different colours of alginate bubbles.

If you're interested in the history, Popin Cookin was renamed into Kracie Foods in 2017. This is why you don't see the logo around anymore, and their USA website has been inactive since 2019 ( www.popincooki... ). Kracie still sold kits under the Popin Cookin brand for a while but the old-school "Popin Cookin" as we know it no longer exists. Other companies like Meiji also entered the market, offering products that are extremely similar to the original Popin Cookin kits.

I actually used to watch RRcherrypie videos on a loop long before I even knew what ASMR is so you're definitely onto something lmao

@maqaroon Год назад

Same! RRcherrypie was the first YT channel I subscribed to because there were so few channels back in the days. Something about their style (no talking, no fancy intros or lighting) just felt so good to watch 😂. Was definitely also a key inspo for my own channel

@KateCarew Год назад

Yes!!! I’d watch rement toys, RR cherry pie and kracie videos. RR had these other fake food, inedible minis, they’d have boiling and frying effects. They were so fun to watch and listen to :) I used to love watching Sugar Charm shop make mini foods out of clay, and there was a woman who did her own makeup and skin care (Leesha) and I didn’t care about makeup but I loved her voice. Shoot, back in the 80s I’d fall asleep why friends would comb my hair or put makeup on me, tingles and sleepies. Then, I found myself working odd hours in the early 2000s and there was a travel show where this woman went to spas and had various treatments…massages, facials etc and I’d fall asleep watching it. My partner thought I was weird, but I swore the silence, the slight crinkles and whispering made me “woozy” and I’d pass out. Once RU-vid happened I kept finding things like watch repair, puzzle building, and then RR cherry pie and whatnot started to crop up. Suddenly, it seemed overnight I was hearing the term ASMR. I felt so VINDICATED. Finally! A concept and community! I loved seeing this comment because I totally agree that ASMR was happening before it had a name, we’ve had folks seeking the phenomenon out long before it was a “thing”.

@MinisDunyasi5 Год назад

My favorite part about candy kits is, there’s very little waste. You can eat the final product and use the molds for other craft projects. They’re really worth the money..

@maqaroon Год назад

Yes I agree! "Hands on time" is something that is rarely mentioned with DIYs but Popin Cookin kits give you loads of stuff to do for very little material. The final result can also be eaten so it's really economical.

@telperinquar3724 Год назад

@KitZtuffz Год назад

RRCherryPie was my childhood, I’m actually really really happy I grew up around the time when it was popular, I loved the older kits dearly, and I even loved the different brands that would make candy kits! I remember one where you would add water to a little science flask, then add a powder to flavor it and make it fizzy! I believe the colors came in blue and purple, and I also remember a little icecream kit, where you would add water and white pellets to a clear tray, mix it, and it turns into either soda or strawberry flavored foam, that you would scoop onto little ice cream cones! I miss the simpler times of watching those videos on my computer. ^^

@maqaroon Год назад

@venusthebenus Год назад

What I always liked about Kracie is that they’re very clear about their flavors on the packaging. If you look at the packet, you can see little photos of what each candy is supposed to taste like, and it’s always delicious. I bought one from a different brand other than Kracie that was intended to make a cute set of sweets, and it included a brown sauce for some of them. Naturally, in the context of a candy kit, I assumed that brown sauce would have been chocolate. To my shock and utter horror, I put it in my mouth and it was the most rancid tea flavor I’ve ever tasted. I don’t even like tea.

@marli8907 11 месяцев назад

The bulk price may be great but the shipping costs... ouch. I wish it was more afforadable because these candies are very hard to get nowadays. I remember 10+ years ago being able to buy them for like $1.50 to max $3.50 per per 1 item off a japanese candy website that sadly no longer exists. Now it's hard to find any of these DIY candies for less than $10 per 1 item.

@tarabooartarmy3654 Год назад

My local grocery store has them! I was shocked to find them because this is a relatively small chain in the southeastern U.S., not even in a major city. I didn’t pay attention to the price, but maybe they have them somewhere near you where they won’t be so expensive.

warning when using these, most people should use bottled water when making these because some parts of the world use hard water, but these products were made in japan where soft water is more common. hard water: more minerals/chemicals soft: more calcium/ salt hard water isn't bad, just processed more[ie cleaning, filtering, or additives]
