Wanting to make food just like mom, or maybe making a little cash by selling these goodies! I remember I had an Easy Bake Oven. I always wanted a Sno-Cone machine, but I never got one, (but I have one now! ) So what kind of food making toys did you own? (or wish you owned!) _________________ Growing old is inevitable, growing up is optional.

I don't know why, maybe my mom thought we'd burn the house down! We had the original Snoopy Sno-kone(however it's spelled) machine. We had a lot of fun with that!

A Tasty bake one by Tyco. It didn't work very well all of the food that came out of it was goopy and raw.

She uses it every day, and is even making up her own recipies for it. I plan to get her a sno-cone machine for her birthday this summer. As a kid one of my neighbors had a Holly Hobbie oven. Her brother cooked his Star Wars figures in it, and it never worked right after that.

I have 3 girls and they have had quite the collection of Tonka Trucks and Matchbox/Hotwheels cars over the years.

Talkingfox Member Since: February 2006 Contributions: 2499 Gold Stars: 493 View User Posts	Re: Easy Bake Oven & Other food toys Posted: Fri Jul 13, 2007 12:34 pm Central Time My sister REALLY wanted an EZ Bake oven. I really wanted her to get one too so she could make me all those wonderful treats any time we wanted them! Instead my mom just taught her how to use the real oven (she was about 11) So she just made REAL brownies cookies and cup cakes that weren't cooked with a lightbulb! Years later I finally saw an EZ Bake in action from a friend's little sister. I tasted the result and MAN was it NASTY! I'm glad we never got one! I had the disappointing Snoopy Snow Cone machine. Sorry folks, but anyone who didn't have one missed out on NOTHING but a TINY soggy paper cup with about a half inch of melted shards of ice mixed with a disgustingly sweet syrup. We had way better results scraping the frost off the side of the basement refridgerator and adding Kool-Ade! I had an Ice Bird snow cone maker...WAY too much work for such a small portion. We had a Pepsi dispenser. It was a toy model of the old fashion soda fountains. Not much of a "make your own" Food toy. You just add a bottle of pepsi to the tank and hold your cup under the spout. The Pepsi was always warm and it got flat from being unrefridgerated. I once added chocoalte milk to it instead of Pepsi and after days it rotted so my mom threw the whole thing out. I had one of those obnoxious ice cream makers. You had to chill this metal container for a whole 24 hours. Then add this hard-to-find rock salt. Then you add the other weird ingredients that were never just "around the house" so you had to go buy everything. Then you have to slowly turn this crank for about 10 minutes. After that you turn it every 30 seconds...uggh!!! Huge process! Very boring and the end result was drippy, runny lumpy "ice cream" That tasted like crappola. Oh and someone mentioned the McDonalds chicken nugget maker? My friends little sister had the french fry maker in the early 90's. The "french fries" were pieces of bread that you run through a box that cuts them into little strips. Then there was a shaker filled with cinnimon to season them with and some NASTY red jelly that was supposed to be like the "ketchup." "Yum" Strips of bread dipped in imitation Jelly...that fry maker was "way" "cool" Yea, not a big fan of make your own food toys!

I'm pretty certain it was by Domino's. And I remember getting it for christmas when I was young. It was pretty cool, actually. I wish I could find it somewhere on the net. _________________
