Blind bags?

Is anyone else's kids into these?  My kids are in love with them.

They're just packages of tiny toys and you have no idea what you are getting.

The girls have been watching videos of this woman, Tiffany Bliss.  She basically opens and review toys.  They love it.  Not only does she open blind bags and describe them, she also dresses up regular Baby Alive dolls to look like specific characters (Disney, Monster High, etc), makes them play-doh food, and then discovers "surprises" in the baby's diapers.  The surprises are usually blind bag toys that she has wrapped in play-doh.  It's the most bizarre thing, but they think it's awesome.

Here's one of them:

The girls have been asking for blind bags so they are now one of the good-behavior rewards on our calendar.

    The bane of our existence for a while - but AWESOME for bribery!  We used them as a weekly reward for DD if she did expected tasks which - for her - were SUPER challenging things - like getting her rear out of bed, dressed, backpack ready, and on the bus every single day.  It worked - but one thing - if you do go down this path of the blind bags, may I suggest biting it and just order the "completion box" from Amazon (i.e. the store display), you'll save yourself a TON of money in the long run by doing so.  It got what we needed DD to do, just know the next step will be taking those characters and repainting them into something else...

    Wooz is really into these key chains:
    Disney Series 2 Blind Bag 3-D Figural Key Ring
    We went through like half a dozen before she got the Stitch she really wanted.  She gave away a bunch of Elsas, and the Evil Queen from Snow White is now on my key chain. 

    For a while it was the My Little Pony blind bags, but sadly she seems to have outgrown MLP for the most part.  Then it was the Shopkins blind bags.  I tried the Lego minifig for Friday Surprise last week, and she was so not into it.  (She got Maleficent.  I thought she was awesome.)

    I had not seen Tiffany Bliss.  That is...really creative. ;)

    I get the LEGO minifigures, but i feel out the bags and buy the full set. I've only gotten 1 duplicate in 6 series - and it was the first time i tried it.

    I have to admit that DH and I are into blind bags and toy-ish stuff.  He had to get some of the Lego Disney mini-figures.  We are also way too into Tsum Tsums for a couple of 29-year-olds.  I figure, it's not hurting anyone, and it makes us happy.  We used to watch Bin's Toy Bin on youtube--it started as just a woman, then grew to include her H.  They didn't have kids when they started the channel, but they have a son now, and he gets to open his own blind bags (with help from mom and dad, since he's like 2 or 3).

    DD1 gets the shopkins bags. She wants to collect all of them.

    DD2 got a tsum tsum this time but a different kind before.

    They're all cute, just not something I would have assumed they'do be so into.

    That is one of the strangest videos I have ever seen... Also, baby Alive dolls are as creepy as fuck.

    I had a Baby Alive back in the 90's.  It had one of those bottles where the liquid disappears when you tip it upside down, and a plastic "jar" of cherries with a spoon.  There were cherries on the spoon, and when you pressed them against her mouth they slid back inside the spoon, so it looked like she ate them.  There was nothing creepy and electronic back then, and I think it should have stayed that way.  Those things are now one step away from Chucky.

    Yes, that is how I remember them as well... Their mouths didn't move or anything weird. I totally remember the retractable cherries, too!
