Da Kine 5 Tings We Love

1. Feeling guilty for buying your children too many Shopkins, those tiny collectibles with cute, smiling faces that stay based on grocery store goods? What if you could get a toy with da same amount of cuteness and unlimited educational value?

Basher Science offers these supa-adorable plastic figures such as Mitochondria from da field of Biology, Atom from Chemistry, Basalt from Rocks and Minerals, and ukuplanny more. Recently added fields of study include Astronomy and Physics. Individual figures are $2.99 each and three-pack sets $8.99 at Target.

2. As one kid I hardly ate Twinkies. Even as one adult I’m fine with not trying da more modern twists like da chocolate-covered one, cuz I can kinda imagine what it would taste like.

Just when I thought these treats from my childhood wuz one ting from my past, dey unveil these new frozen versions of these classic desserts. Will you be able to shield your child from da knowledge that your old-school Hostess Twinkies and Ding Dongs have been improved upon with an ice cream symbiosis? Will you yourself be able to resist da temptation? Safeway get for $6.99.

3. Small-kid time, I remembah how everybody wanted for have da latest in cool school supplies. Kids today get high-tech Pilot FriXion erasable pens, but back in da day, Erasermate pens wuz cutting edge cuz could almost erase. Even da folding scissors wuz neat before time.

Now available is this ultra-bad, ultra-rad Japanese scissors by Twiggy! It looks like one pen, but open ’em up and it’s actually one scissors. J’like one Transformer, brah!

Mom will make sure to buy herself one also, cuz it’s perfect for da woman who always feels like she gotta cut da tag right away so she can’t change her mind and return da clothes later on. Last seen for $11.99 at Don Quixote Pearl City.

4. Before word got out to Japan, malasadas wuz more of one insider ting. Would local people today wanna wear one Leonard’s T-shirt for rep da 808? Or is that too touristy now?

I tink local people not going even tink about such distinctions, cuz this malasada character redesign is just simply irresistible. Luckily get these hot-selling shirts in both kid ($15) and adult ($21) sizes.

Da only drawback is da ting not available at their wagons; you gotta go to da Leonard’s Bakery store at 933 Kapahulu Ave. and, ironically, wait in line with busloads of tourists. Ha!

5. No get confuse, but Honolulu Kitchen stay in Waipahu, k, and dey get deep-fried mini manapua. Da girl at da counter said da crab cream cheese one is da most popular one. And dey get savory and sweet kine.

Kids love da Oreo one cuz it’s like one deep-fried Oreo, but instead of batter, get manapua bread. One new kiddie feature is before dey fry ’em up, your kids can draw on top their manapua using markers with edible ink. How cool is dat?! The price is $1.35 each or dozen for $15.

Da Chinese restaurant stay at 94-861 Farrington Highway; 671-5241.
