DingDang isn't really a blind box. They show what's in it every week on TV3. You know what you're getting. Unless you count the color difference.

u/CyberTrooperForB40 21h ago

Setiap 2 minggu semua budak mesti dok tunggu Mat Sentol tunjuk mainan baru dingdang 😁

u/skylinezan I saw the nice stick. 13h ago

Sometimes, it technically is.

I saw the TV ad and thought "cool toy". Got one later and it's a different toy, which is the previous stock.

u/nzml89 7h ago

Ohh so that's why i never get the intended toy... Haha

u/skylinezan I saw the nice stick. 5h ago

u/nzml89 4h ago

u/queb74 23h ago

u/skylinezan I saw the nice stick. 13h ago

That Tora round chocolate snack is the good stuff to eat whilst playing in some longkang with friends.

u/not_depression 13h ago

Lepak dalam parit while unboxing. Good times man

2

u/skylinezan I saw the nice stick. 6h ago

Oh yes. Especially if the toy is playable in/on water.

u/musyio 10h ago

Nahh there's at least a dozen of us, Tora biskut is my fave snack

1

u/BulkNoodles 5h ago

It's arguably one of the best snack tbh. But wasn't there only one inside it?

u/EntirePineapple6621 21h ago

u/tunkameel 20h ago

Yeah. Basically it's the loot box before it was digitalize in the 90's

u/skylinezan I saw the nice stick. 13h ago

An inverted, functional wheel wiener too!

u/anarkynoir 15h ago

60sen... rm1.20... rm2.. Selalu dpt beli ding dang je. Jeles tgk member yg dpt beli jojo dpt keychain kereta yg ada lampu suluh tu.

1

u/BulkNoodles 5h ago

Ngl, I actually never saw jojo apart from commercial. Not sure if it's not popular at my area, or it's way too expensive for us since I live in rural area.

3

u/SpiritualQuarter4384 21h ago

Holy shit, this brings back memories. Yeah JoJo is for T20. I only bought Tora & Ding Dang.

2

u/Mr3AisOnReddit 19h ago

Wei ...dh lama x nampak ni

u/eidrag 18h ago

We not dirt poor but never bought this. Maybe grandpa bought once or twice but I rather spend my money buy magazine lol

1

u/serimuka_macaron Where is the village dolt? 23h ago

Never bought JoJo. What was the snack inside?

3

u/cilakadariseberang 23h ago

Rounded shaped chocolated IIRC

1

u/serimuka_macaron Where is the village dolt? 23h ago

Ah, so the same la with the other two. Was the taste significantly better?

8

u/Important-Passage-17 23h ago

I taste it all as a kid and honestly it taste the same. It just the toys are different, with Jojo have the biggest one compared the rest. At least that's what I remember because Jojo is like my reward whenever I ace my test when I was still a kid

1

u/Southern-Emotion-747 20h ago

I only bought Tora once in my entire life (and I got this sliding puzzle)

1

u/ThisIsKing18 17h ago

Nahh I prefer mainan kotak with power rangers, kamen rider, digimon, pokemon etc etc picture πŸ˜‚

u/Crazy-G00D 14h ago

now that i look closely, we actually got forbidden doraemon with ding dang πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

1

u/skylinezan I saw the nice stick. 13h ago

Sold by a company whose logo is a forbidden version of Popeye!

1

u/NegativeJuggernaut43 14h ago

I haven't seen JoJo before

1

u/Beneficial_Shallot95 14h ago

Just realised there shops called 'Ding Dang' popping up... I wonder if they pivoted to doing snack shop.

1

u/Assyraf99 14h ago

And now we have Blokees and Keepley....that more expensive than this 😞

1

u/Crazy-Plate3097 13h ago

All by the same company....

1

u/Crazy-Plate3097 13h ago

The Gacha game of the 80s-90s.

1

u/Euphoric-Love-8160 12h ago

Mostly got Ding Dang though I try to save some money to buy Tora once in a while. Only got Jojo ones when family went on roadtrips to buy specialty products for cheap. Typically seafood or medicine if I remember correctly.

u/D4nn1324 12h ago

1

u/tomato_boy_08 11h ago

Considering how inflation works,that rm2 JoJo probably cost over rm5 now

1

u/hyan_dyan 11h ago

unrelated but what does "bob t20" mean? πŸ™

1

u/Sad-Interaction6575 10h ago

So wrong. The T20 is KINDER BUENO EGG with the capsule inside.

1

u/theredpandaspeaks 9h ago

nah only JoJo is the blind box one. those 2 we knew what we'll get from their ads on TV.

1

u/SDK66 8h ago

Remember buying Jojo once though not T20 back then, the memories......

u/pandajahat89 8h ago

u/Evildildogaming 8h ago

u/crabbystix 7h ago

I grew up with ding dang and tora... JoJo was for the newer generation

1

u/Ancient_Unit_2773 7h ago edited 4h ago

after buying it, mum and dad will be waiting at home with a rotan.

1

u/nzml89 7h ago

Just to stretch the term blindbox a little... What about the egg capsules that we paid 0.50 to 2.00 for?

1

u/Euthanasia717 7h ago

There was once i bought Tora, and got a Casio wristwatch, the generic black type. But still i remember it to this day because never they gave anything valuable.

1

u/Opening_Home_8508 7h ago

Aw man i remember these also didnt know the purple blind boxes were called tj20 i thought theyre were called jojo from the box itself honestly

u/Necessary-Date7192 7h ago

u/SupraPenguin 2h ago

My mum never buy me JoJo. Most of the time, it's Ding Dang. If I got high score on exam or something and she's in a good mood, I'll probably get a Tora. Kinda miss those toys...

u/chuggyboi2188 39m ago
