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!!

waste of mommys money

my 5 year old saw them at walmart one day and begged and begged for one, at the time they were under $10 so I said why not. super excitedly got home and was quickly disappointed with what she opened. barely any slime, smelled gross and the little surprises looked faded and gross. needless to say my daughter tossed it to the side quicker than she opened it. total waste of money

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.

Total waste of money

I bought this for my daughter for her 5th birthday as she had been begging for it every time she saw it in the store. It was $13. What is it? A tray with slime that looks like and is marketed like, something you could eat (Snackables!) but it is all unsafe to eat or get near your eyes, nose or mouth. You are supposed to thoroughly wash your hands after using.

There are supposed to be 3 figures that come with it to dip in the slime. Ours had two. The slime is refrigerated for 15 mins and then you dip the characters into it and they are supposed to change colour. Nothing happens.

Basically what you get is a couple of cheap plastic toys and a tiny pot of slime that does nothing. It is a total waste of money and something I feel unsafe letting my kids play with unsupervised because they were both convinced it would be ok to put in their mouths.

Horrible toy and I don't know how this even got on the market given the dangers of kids eating it.

I've put it aside until my daughter forgets about it and then it will go in the garbage.
