Cute concept, great smells!

My daughter and I opened our first Num Noms Snackables Dipper this Christmas! Admittedly, I think I was a little more interested than she was, and I have since bought myself two more. (Don't judge me.)

1) Series 2. I loved the smell of both the dipper and pretzel, and the dipping sauce as well! I was surprised to find that I needed to put the dipping sauce in the freezer for 20 minutes but I wasn't too discouraged either. It was really fun messing with the color changing effect of the dipper. I wish more toys implemented color change!

2) Series 1, and I had mixed feelings. The two toys I received were a cookie and something that was supposed to be a tater tot (I had to read the list to even figure out what the heck it was). The sauce was ketchup. None of them smelt pleasant. The tot was supposed to be color changing but it hardly changed colors at all. I even took an ice cube to it, and it just wasn't working.

3) Series 2 (It was on sale for $4! Which felt much more fair a price with the product being what it is now.) This time I was blessed with a kabob set, and let me tell you, I like them the best so far. I like the functionality of shoving them on the kabob! They smelled FANTASTIC TOO. I received a minty marshmellow bunny, and a pineapple bear... thing. They were really cute and smelled like they were supposed too. The sauce was a glitter bubblegum which I received before the first time. I didn't dip my color changer one in the dip this time, however. I went the L.O.L route and just shoved it in some icecube water haha. It worked great and the thing turned into a roasted marshmellow and I could have just died over it. It was great, though ironic given that I was shoving it in ice and not fire.

Anywho, point is, I think I prefer series 2 so far. It's been kind to me. The price is mostly right, and they're just really cute and fun to smell. That said, I wish there was a cool way to display them. Right now they just sit on my desk, but had the packaging they came in been a sturdier plastic with perhaps a flip lid and a clip, I could have clipped one or two to my purse. Instead, the packaging is completely unusuable and just thrown away. I'd happily pay $6.99 or a little more if they had a cute, functional carry case.

Other than that, I will keep an eye out for sales. I'd definitely like to buy more, and I'm looking forward to a series 3!

P.S. Since I've began writing this, my daughter has kidnapped a few as pretend food for her other toys, so that is nice. I'd still like a sturdier carrier case to display them with, though!!

Deff a hit

Let's just say this is easily my kiddos favorite. And for under $10 who can complain. So many to collect. They all smell so good. Kids just love a toy that smells. Perfect size for a doll house and the packaging is too cute. Definitely a good buy.
