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.popincookin.us/story ). 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.

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..
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.
yeah and mostly they dont have these unnecessesary gadges which are often useless and a waste of plastic...
I thought this said 'eat the molds' and got very confused 💀
I agree yet whenever I try to do it my finished product is always a mess
That's actually my least favourite part of them haha. I am not very crafty, so I wouldn't have use for all the plastic left behind. It seems like a lot of plastic waste for a small amount of candy.
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
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
@@maqaroonim so glad i had rrcherrypie when i was a kid instead of cocomelon
@@maqaroonMe too!!
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 TH-cam 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”.
I felt like you just snap a piece of my brain back into it's socket
RRcherrypie was A LEGEND
My SIL went to Japan and brought back a poppin cookin for my son. So naturally I put it together with him, and I was surprised and horrified it was not candy versions of a hamburger, fries, and soda. It literally tasted like hamburger and fries, lol
WHAT???!? I NEVER KNEW THAT
@@karak962i had that one tasted like candy to me
@@KristenZianourry2015 there's different brands of that hamburger kit but the popin cookin one is savory.
they sell them at Walmart in Indiana lol
Yeah it’s cool but nasty haha
I’m glad it tasted like meat though; made it interesting
I remember those popin cookin videos when i was younger, just hours of watching the assembly and being mesmerised. they were so cute >^
I’m mostly jealous not mesmerized cause I can’t have it
@@jin_cotlthey don’t taste that good imo. I tried it a while ago and most of them tasted bad from what I recall
@@childeofepickness I tried every kit that was in my local supermarket and honestly they all tasted pretty bad and the end result looked pretty ugly too but at least you have fun making it right? The best tasting one in my opinion is the soda in the fast food kit which says a lot
The jellyfish fact really made me giggle haha. Wasn't expecting that! Love your ingenuity and the care you put into your reviews and videos. Thank you for the awesome content!
I was pretty shocked to discover that during my research and had to share 🤣
RRcherrypie is one of my favorite YT channels, I’ve watched for probably a decade now. Kracie Poppin Cookin is adorable, and the science behind it has fascinated me for years!
he's the og, god i love him. like no one else was doing it like that, he was able to make the final results look SO good, always so artsy with it lol
Now that’s a name I haven’t heard in years
I've known them for their miniature food making and the way they make the food is really intricate! I'm surprised the channel has been running for so long
Same, I couldn't sleep without watching their videos every night 🤣😭
Its crazy kids can try spherification in a little kit instead of an overpriced molecular gastronomy course
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.
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. ^^
I was so shocked when I found Popin Cookin in my local grocery store. I used to have to get them in expensive Japanese snack boxes. They’re fun, even if they’re not perfect. 😊
My favorite was the candy sushi, it looked so real and so cute!
Honestly they taste pretty bad but it’s all about the process right?
@@Kuromisrighteye they taste good to me
I liked the taste of the hamburger one, but then they changed it 😢
I really still prefer the older popin cookin kits, but a lot of them are not being sold anymore at all in Japan, so you won't find them outside Japan
That's so odd because I know of at least three stores that sell them were I live in the Midwest XD
@@zombei_kid Most of them. Not all. I can still buy kits like the sushi, burger; but the less popular ones (like the curry and naan) are not around anymore.
@@reflettYes a few years ago I seen it on TH-cam channel at my country I only found 2 in Japan and brought back to my homeland
@@reflettyeahh i saw icecream , burger, sushi, and rice thing in china
That’s weird I live in New York and there are plenty local small Japanese business that sell all of the poppin cookins!
the issue with the sodium alginate bath was probably due to your water hardness, it's notorious for solidifying/thickening just with the minerals dissolved in the water already
Hmm maybe using distilled water would be best in these kits?
Cool!
Probably
Joanna: the visible shapes on top of the jellyfish are actually it's reproductive organs
Me: Huh...cool we can leave it at tha-
Joanna: PINEAPPLE JELLYFISH GENITALIA
Me: ☠️
The more you know 😆
@@maqaroon Lol!
@@maqaroonYOU RUINED MY LIFE!
...
*FOREVER!*
I support this fact! Lol
@@maqaroonI love learning new things, so, thanks!
I really enjoy learning all the little facts, tips and tricks when you make things! You are way more informative about what you are doing and why, much more than other crafting channels! 🐠🐟🐙🏵
The popin cooking kits videos are great for helping me fall asleep I've found. I still use them on nights when I nothing else works. Something real relaxing about all those sounds.
RRCherrypie was my entire childhood. I loved them. Also, at 3:20, it’s best to pop it out by pushing the mould from the back instead of digging them out ^^
since you've made your own molds before, have you considered trying to make your own candies? im not sure if the silicone you usually use is foodsafe but you can definitely use foodsafe silicone. showing people how to make DIY gummies might be fun!
Lucky for me, our candy store still has a few popin cookin kits like the ramen one and the sushi one
"PINEAPPLE JELLYFISH GENITALIA"
A string of words I NEVER expected to hear from you but here we are LOL
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.
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.
@@tarabooartarmy3654 I've searched all my stores. One store I think it was Harmon's, had one or two single pieces but they were like $8 each :/
look for "Asian grocery stores near me" on google. Most of them have the kits and even more. I go to a store called "New Grand Mart" and they always have tons of Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Taiwanese, even had Mexican stuff. I get loads of groceries. (mine even takes EBT which is a huge plus for me)
also itll either be a REALLY SMALL unassuming corner store, or a huge GIANT building but i do find that those smaller stores are not only cheaper but also have the more unique stuff! gl
@@meghanh2511you might be able to find some at forever 21!
I just want to say thanks for the effort you put in your videos. This is my comfort channel and any time I’m feeling down, your videos help make me smile
I missed watching these kits on TH-cam.. had a phase where it's all I watched haha.. maybe round 2 now, still never got one to test out. Thanks for the video!
i was sort of zoning out, just vibing. and then "pinapple jellyfish genitalia" brought me right back into this reality like someone dropping an ice cube down the back of my shirt
I love these little things! The interactivity of it all and the overall experience of making stuff always infatuated me!
I still enjoy those candy kits, I have had a lot of fun making those with my niece
The jellyfish fact shocked me, but it was so interesting.😳😇🥰
I absolutely love how you explain the science behind it
Good memories... I loved watching theses as kid!
I live in Canada and you can easily find Poppin Cookin kits in Chinese or Japanese markets. I used to make gummies with them back in 2020 and they honestly didn't work as well as I expected it. Still was a fun experience tho.
My mom got me an eight pack of these for Christmas and for my birthday (I had requested more of them) and I love these so much. My family has a bit of Asian heritage and I’m obsessed with these things. I especially love the make your own gummy kits (with the powder and mixable colored water) and the pastry making kits.
I also like that even if it’s all in Japanese, it’s all pretty easy to understand just from the pictures. (At least for me)
i wonder if using warm water for the goldfish one would make it easier to pour into the molds? love your videos
if u have a local asian market you will probably find these there pretty easily, these things were literally my hyperfixation when I was younger lol (It didnt taste that good to me but i loved making them)
They were my childhood. I still see some for sale and and now that I have adult money I have to buy them
RRcherrypie and YOU were my entire childhood!!!! I am so happy to stumble upon this video
Wow, this video was such a nostalgic find 💕 I haven't seen anything from maqaron since her needle felting ASMR videos... They helped inspire me to take up needle felting and later many other crafts! This video was so relaxing and interesting, thank you so much 💗
Popin Cookin is the best-tasting/textured snack I've ever had! They're so much fun and so delicious, but my dexterity is pretty bad, so I stick to the simple ones. I usually make them while watching a TH-cam video. The boxed Popin Cookin brand name ones are sold in a Mitsuwa near my house, so I can get them pretty easily.
7:05 HELP I ACTUALLY LAUGHED OUT LOUD AT THAT
I’m from nyc and when my son was about 5 we found poppin cooking boxes at our local supermarket waffle maker gummy sushi maker and regular gummy maker they were so awesome we also had the donut maker 🎉it’s been a while since I’ve been back to that market I now have to see if
They are still around
Omg same i always goto hmart to buy popin cookins
I went to japan 2 months ago and I couldn't find any of the candy kit! 5 years ago I bought so many different kits for my sister. hamburger, bento, sushi, etc. kinda sad that they don't really make these candy kits anymore.
This stuff was my nostalgia days when I got my first iPad when I was 5. I would watch cooking and baking videos using the candy or miniature sets.
these used to be what my childhood was watching, everyday. oh the nostalgia
Oh man, I ran into a couple of these kits at my local Asian market a few weeks ago! How nostalgic!
I saw popin cookin kits at the Asian market I went to today! Maybe they are making a comeback! I never tried one, I honestly never knew it was like this, it sounds like fun. Maybe I’ll get one next time :) thank you for the video!
Did you see the box ones? Cause those are still decently popular the new ones however….
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]
I remember getting a Popin Cooking kit that was a burger and fries. From what I can remember it was pretty fricking good (it also wasn't really a sweet so that made a difference). I always found a lot of the other kits waaaaaayy too sweet, but they were fun to make!
omg i used to binge watch your youtube channel when i was young!! so so happy i found you again, you are my childhood 🤍.
Ooo, thank you for the links in the description! I had no idea I could order stuff from Japan like this!
I still find the old kits at Asian snack stores. It makes me wonder if those are stale now if they aren't making them anymore.
omgg your channel was my childhood, i haven't seen your videos in years and this brought back so many memories :,)
Okay, the packing is the most cutest things I seen.
I remember watching some videos of people making these a long time ago. It was pretty neat to watch
man i used to watch these videos when i was kids... love to see it again
Y'know, I actually exclaimed "THERE IT IS!" out loud when sodium alginate was mentioned at 3:40. Like, I knew there was no way that kit would work without it.
I love poppin cooking, I wish they were easier to get .
They actually sell those at my local Asian market, including some of the older ones!
Stuff like this is so cool, You get pictures in case you can't read the directions so even people that don't speak the language can participate.
You can reuse so much of the kit and there's not all this wasted plastic like munch of American crafting kits.
I like the idea of making a kid work and think to get their candy. Personally I know I would have loved, the most exciting candy I had in my childhood was kinder surprise (which I still love 😂).
9:06 I feel like all the colour would run off a Smartie if you sphereified something around it... and then you'd just be left with soggy chocolate, which is nobody's favourite. XP
I got one at a store when on vacation and I absolutely loved it! I can’t believe they aren’t sold in more stores.
I'm fortunate enough to have a Daiso and a large Japanese import market near me and both of them carry Popin Cookin!
RRcherrypie is the unintentional grandfather of ASMR videos.
RRcherrypie was literally my childhood i loved watching their vids all day long
I used to LOVE the popin cookin cheeseburger kit 😂 Then it just kind of disappeared.
Its funny, now I can find a couple basic ones at the grocery store, but the excitement has long died down
loving your explanations of the chemicals and how everything works, but what finally made me click like and subscribe was the jelly fish trivia.
Hi I love ur vids ur voice is so calming❤
1:28 that’s a game called 撈金魚 in hong kong and taiwan, taiwan always has festivals so each time i visit my friends in taiwan i see them everywhere
I always used to watch you do these when I was younger
ah we have lots of popin kits where I live in USA! they're quite popular here and very fun 😁
Man RRcherrypie was my childhood
my 4th grade teacher would play poppin cooking videos while we had free time in class! now that i am 21, whenever i see one of these kits i always think of her : )
i love your channel so much !!
My friends bought pop in cookin at timezone (a game thing in australia) but then when they went to the bathroom the worker took it and brought it back to the shelf and they never got it back
omggg the jellyfish haha this is why I've been following for years 😂❤
This seems really fun. If there are multiple children in the household, the kids sitting together - the younger one needing the expert advice of the older one in creating the candies.
The store I used to work at still sell these! We have the Sushi, Donut, Ice cream, and Japanese dinner ones :)
Just had a flashback to my childhood- some of the first TH-cam content I watched was a channel called Lucky Penny or something- they made those
I mean they are pretty common at any local Asian grocery store, usually found in the candy isles ❤
I still eat these today. I can’t really eat nor get them at the time im writing this because i have a retainer, but i still do recommend them. :)
Not sure how i ended up here. But, your video was informative and very well made. So much so i am intrigued. I want to find some of these for myself
I still have poppin cookin kits in my grocery stores in Michigan! I dont think i like these new ones lol
Usually, its pretty easy to find popin cookin in an Asian Market.
I actually used to watch poppincookin videos to relax and that’s how I found my way to ASMR almost 12 years ago
I would get all these kits at forever 21 which also had SO MUCH Japanese snacks + kits but somewhat recently got rid of all Japanese snacks and kits at the checkouts :((
3:48 I reckon you could try what cooks do with Cornstarch, measure out the water, then add the powder the the empty tub, slowly stir in the water a little bit at a a time.
a korean market down the street from me has popin cookin kits, but only the donuts...
Is it strange to say that you're my favorite "science channel"?
I find these at my local HEB sometimes- although they don’t look like what you had in the video, they come in boxes and I actually have one in my pantry rn lol!
Me and my freinds always get poppin cookin kits at local Japanese stores they are quite easy to find and so much fun to make
Oooh I'm in Japan right now and def saw some in Donki the other day. Got to buy some.
bro I used to love watching popin cookin videos when I was like 5-7 years old, I didn’t know the name of them until I saw those kits at the store and I was like “I used to watch people make those!”
ngl i miss the old kits. i had multiple poppin candy candy kits 6-7 years ago and i had a lot of fun making the candies and they all tasted good to me, do they still sell them? i want to get the curry candy kit i saw in an rrcherrypie video around 10-11 years ago but i'm not sure if they still sell those kits...
Do you have to pay customs on top of the actual sale and shipping price, when you order from Amazon Japan? I've always been thinking about getting some stuff from there, but I ordered two soundtrack CDs directly from Japan once (not Amazon) and instead of paying just 20€ for them the price almost doubled because of customs.
I like this video, the funniest part was the jellyfish pineapple xD
The crazy timing this had considering my bf and I did a kit earlier.
Good to see you back :)
you can find the new ones and the old ones at most asian supermarkets
I have tried some of them and they taste good😊
Chef pro tip- If your molding something in plastic apply pressure to the other side to pop them out
I can find them at my local Japanese grocery store and they are SO DIFFICULT, I always fail on the gummy making one
as a kid i went feral when i found that popin cookin kits were sold at the local japanese snack store
my favorite was the sushi one
