It's neat to know there were cool metal toys like this being made when I was a tiny.

I remember getting my sets brand new, we'll say ca1980, from a discount store because for years after I would scour the toy aisle for more. The pieces I still have are in pretty good shape for the torture I put them thru, they've been wet and I had candy in the punch bowl, but they are heavy.

I finally broke down and bought a couple of the Foodie balls. I'm hooked. Send help.

At least with these, there's nothing in the line that I specifically DON'T want, and doubles in this case are a blessing. It means the poor Dollyverse DoorDash driver doesn't have to stop at forty restaurants.

I also managed to pop the Sonic hot dog out of the container so now I can remove it for photos.

I have quite a few Foodie extras and might only be missing one or two common pieces if it gets down to looking for one or two specific things. It was definitely a line where several of anything was okay, but everyone in the doll house doesn't need brownies.

Not to enable more but check our Claire's earrings for treats. Their sales price beats making some of the little resin drinks. There's also a charm jewelry kit in the kids section of Hobby Lobby that has goodies and their regular charms have round lollipops if you can find them.

Series 5 of the food is out, aside from some soda bottles, Goldfish crackers, and Milano cookies there isn't much my dolls want. I did good on the balls I got today.

One of the things to look for are the Fed Ex and UPS boxes because there are minis inside of them.

I'm forcing myself to not buy anymore minis right now, since I'm trying to get supplies together for some custom dolls.

It is not an easy fight.

If there are a couple of particular things you're looking for let me know. It's quite probable I'll be buying a few more balls looking for what I want and extra is extra. Having a clearance sale on doll groceries is one of my eventual goals.
