The Trash Pack

by

I wrote about The Trash Pack a few weeks ago, a new toy craze that has taken the U.S by storm. Named after all the delights you might toss in a trash can – Smelly Sock, Germ Worm, Scum Gum, Stale Bread, Sour Snail, Putrid Pizza, etc. – this garbage-themed line of toys for kids was created by Moose Toys, an Australian toy company.

We recently added the Trash Pack Garbage Truck to our growing Trashie collection. It’s a lot of fun and a great way to store the Trashies and trash cans when the girls aren’t playing with them. There’s room for up to 10 of the small trash cans, or a few of the bigger ones. The trash cans are a big selling point when it comes to The Trash Pack, so it’s great that you can incorporate them.

The truck is mobile, so kids can roll it along the floor like any other toy car, but it also has some cool features! Like a real garbage truck, this one has tip ‘n flip action that allows you to dump your Trashies into the back of the truck. You can even set your Trashies on the top of the wheelie bin and launch them off. The doors of the truck open up and have little points to display the Trashies. Maya has this open on her desk when she’s not playing with it. There are seats in the cabin for a driver and passenger… and the truck comes with two exclusive Trashies, Sludge Can and Dead Tyre.

One important thing to keep in mind is that this garbage truck is for kids ages 5 and up. Ours has been thrown around a few times by the girls and their friends, and the doors have popped off here and there. While it’s easy to stick them back in, it’s not made to withstand the rough treatment which toddlers are known for. Trashies can pose a choking hazard to children under 3, anyway, so they shouldn’t play with this line of toys at all!

That said, with the Trash Pack Garbage Truck, your kids can have some seriously gross fun taking out the trash! Available exclusively at Toys “R” Us, this is one of the hot toys this holiday season, and well-priced at under $20, so don’t be surprised if you have a hard time finding it in stores! Santa can always leave an IOU, no? 😉

  1. My best soggy tomato dish is a easy meat pie that I make with tomatoe sauce, cooked ground beef, tomatoe sauce & covered with mozzarella cheese.
    Thanks so much.

  20. Oh soggy tomato dishes. That takes me back to my childhood, riding the rails with my favorite hobo uncle. After a full day of train hopping we could pull together some of the best soggy tomato stew with chunks of possum, crushed pine cone, and mystery juice. If you take the time to pick out all the possum hair it will rival the finest meal you could find at any “big city” restaurant.

  26. Im best at making a delicious soggy tomatoe raviolli. im a HUGE trash pack fan and soggy tomatoe is my FAV limited edition trashies. THANKS 😉

  27. Thank you to whoever made this giveaway. Idont think ill EVER get a soggy tomatoe. but if i win. i would be so LUCK. Thanks once again to whoever made this compo;)

  32. Soggy tomato and egg scramble- delicious and nutritious for breakfast or dinner side dish!
    I would be my kids’ hero if I won this!!!!!

  44. My favourite dish is a scrumptious chicken parmegiana covered with melted cheese and the special soggy tomato sauce with spaghetti in the side with a cup of fresh iced tea

  48. My dish would be Soggy Tomato and Basil Soup. My kids who like the trashies also like to eat soggy tomato soup with grilled cheese sandwiches for lunch.

  49. On Monday I made a tuna and noodle alfredo dish that had crushed wheat crackers and chopped Roma tomatoes on it. My daughter, who usually likes tomatoes, said these tasted “weird and gross,” so maybe, just maybe they were too soggy!

  61. One day we were picking tomatoes from the garden and my youngest kid decided to throw a couple into the pool. Well those tomatoes weren;t worth eating any more. Not so fast says one of my kids. I’ll eat the soggy tomato. Since this particular kid doesn’t eat anything except chocolate and bread he proceeded to go into the house and get two slices of bread and a hershey’s bar. He then made himself a soggy tomato sandwhich out the bread and candy bar. Needless to say the thought of getting this within a foot of our mouths was making us gag. But my kid, cheerily picked up his sandwich, the tomato oozing through the bread now being turned brown by the chocolate, he smiled as he raised the sandwhich to his mouth, opened wide and took a huge bite. We stared with our hands over out mouths, he chewed and chewed and chewed and then took another bite, this one even more disgusting than the previous. He looked at us and smiled at us, glistening brown and red and he continued to eat the entire sandwhich. That was the day our kid invented a new sandwhich, the soggy tomato sandwhich

  72. This Soggy Tomato Trashie would be great for my homeade tomato sauce which we cook on Sunday’s for our weekly Sunday night spaghetti dinner. First I would brown some putrid pork in some spoiled olive oil and let that simmer about 10 minutes. I would then add 4 cans of Soggy Tomato Trashies with spices of stale salt, smelly pepper, awful parsley, bashed basil and a pinch of stenchy sugar. I will cook it on low for 2 hours. A great dinner of soggy spachetti will be enjoyed by all!

  74. the appetizer will be some nachos with soggy tomato salsa. the main course will be putrid pizza with soggy tomato sauce. and last but not least, some holiday soggy tomato cake for dessert! eat them up yum. this rare tomato won our hearts and we can’t find him anywhere!
