The idea that boys- humans- can’t play with human dolls is so bizarre to me! Or that girls playing with cars is weird, when those same judgy women will walk out of the bakery and get into their… CAR… and drive away! *facepalm*
Yea, I can understand that. However, that said, it's definitely more socially acceptable for a girl to play with supposedly boys toys than a boy to play with girls' toys. I think this is a more recent phenomenon. Most people now accept that a girl can do those things and won't grow up to be any different because of it. However, a boy is definitely going to get bullied for that kind of shit especially if it's so public. Perhaps that has recently changed, given the younger generations embracement of people being gay, more so than in the past where that too would be a source of bullying. Not to say that isn't still as any group isn't that homogenous. Point being, there's a place for heterosexual girly girl women and less feminine women, though I don't think the same can be said for men. By in large, it would seem that a heterosexual manly man is preferred as opposed to an effeminate man. So, while it may not necessarily be harmful to let them play with barbies or do other commonly female things. It may be in their best long-term interest not to.
@@theformalmooshroom9147 I understand your concern, but I think it might be misplaced. My brother and I both played with toys designated for either sex, in roles designated for either, among the many other ways that we differed from our peers. I am so glad that my Grandma raised me to defy bullies rather than cave in to them! I cried myself to sleep many a night in childhood, but it made me a strong adult. It got me through the drug revolution without taking drugs, and it got me through beatings over my faith. It enabled me to learn without the filter of what conclusions I was expected to come to with the information and made me an independent thinker. My family made many mistakes, but teaching me courage instead of conformity was not one of them--it's the best part of who I am.
@@theformalmooshroom9147 you missed the mark, love. Touch some grass today and take some deep breaths. It’s not that serious. And Barbies come as boys as well, which is my point… a child playing with a replica of himself shouldn’t be socially inappropriate. It shouldn’t need defending.
And no, I seriously disagree on the argument that this is a recent development or something worth “bullying” over. My little brother had female action figures in the 80s… Wonder Woman. April from Ninja Turtles. Even Cabbage Patch Dolls: Those were girl dolls. Nobody cared. He’s now a 40-ish big burly mechanic with a beard.
My son saw his sisters get their nails painted and just liked the colors, so he got his done too… he’s now into building robots ten years later. Nobody cared and it didn’t magically make him effeminate. It’s only a big deal if you- the parent- make it a big deal. He was not bullied.
It’s been my experience studying psychology that the people who speak out and freak out the most about these types of behaviors are the ones who fear these things the most due to their own trauma and feelings. Whether it be that they have trauma from their own parents over these things or hidden wants/desires to explore those things themselves. There tends to always be a hidden little suppressed motivation that’s then being projected onto others; sort of the way that when someone is cheating in a relationship, they tend to always accuse their partner of cheating and obsess over it.
At any rate, kids are pure. They have no motivation other than joy and curiosity unless you skew that for them. I’ll continue to encourage mine to find joy in what makes them happy and protect them from idiots and bigots until they’re old enough to find the words to protect themselves. Which won’t be long… it doesn’t take much education or whit to outsmart most of them.
@DiZoSoMom There's no worth to bullying. That, however, doesn't mean it doesn't happen. Of course, it shouldn't happen, but there's many things that shouldn't happen, but they still do. You have to be realistic. There's no point in not planning for something because it shouldn't happen. That's just being naive. Now, not everyone's going to be bullied, of course, not even everyone who plays with designed for the opposite gender. But kids are a rather homogeneous bloc, or at least that's how they act. If you stick out for any reason, you're more likely to catch shit for it. Obviously, there's more that goes into it than that, but why would you put your child in danger of it. If they like doing things that are not the norm, it's best not to publicise it. They can still enjoy it. It'll hopefully just spare them any potential ridicule they may get.
Note how I didn't say that it was something definite. I never said boys who play with toys designed for girls will turn out to be more girly. I simply stated that's generally the perception. Obviously, things like that vary from place to place, but again, there's no use denying what other people think, and being naive enough to think what you think is right is going to change their opinion. I suppose ultimately that comes down to the whole nature vs. nurture debate. But like you said, you can have more feminine influences and still turn out masculine. Though chances are, you also had masculine influences, perhaps more. Or there could have been a societal pressure that influenced you in a certain way. Perhaps things would've been different if you had no/very little masculine influence. I suppose it's also down to parents and how much they're involved, though I suppose you don't necessarily need biology to be able to influence someone.
As far as I'm aware, Barbie is the brand name of female dolls. I think the male dolls might have a separate brand name. Though, to be honest, I don't really know much about this particular topic, dolls.
@@theformalmooshroom9147 Ken is the male barbie....3 paragraphs to say you don't know what you're talking about DAMN, lol! Telling kids to conform so they don't get bullied doesn't seem like a great message either. I wouldn't worry about putting your kid in danger of being bullied, they'll face this sooner or later no matter who they are. Just accept people for who they are and move on IDK why people make this so difficult.
I'll just go throw away this $200 Lego set that I spent hours building.
Hell no. I’m almost 37 and I am not throwing away my $200 Hocus Pocus Lego set. Took me DAYS
You can pry my $200 Lego Lighthouse that I spent a week on from my cold dead hands
These lego succulents with clap-on-clap-off lights are my pride and joy. Guess into the dumpster they go.
Only way I'm getting rid of my LEGO Saturn V rocket is if someone *buys* it from me. Else they're gonna have to bury it with me.
Yah that “you suck” was personal
"I just want to build up my daughters celiac intolerance"
"And I am calling CPS. "
Honestly people like that are why we really need to be teaching anatommy, physiology, and immunology in highschool.
She's Irish. There is no CPS!
@@Penguinmanereikel
No but there is their equivalent to CPS, thankfully
@@PenguinmanereikelOh my God. They aren’t a 3rd world country. Just because it’s not called CPS does not mean they don’t have an equivalent system in place! 🙄
Probably an antivaxxer...
"Oh, she'll be fine. Getting the measles will build her tolerance. Besides, she won't be getting that...ugh...autism."
That's assuming they weren't home school or unschooled 😅
The scene where Alice says “ugh” back to the customer who keepys ugh-ing people is so hilarious 😂😂
That part made me spit out laughing lol
"I think I realized why they sold out"
Oh god her innocence lmfao.
I didn't realize. please tell me, and don't worry about my innocence
@@gilmalul6647 Pot brownies. People thought they were filled with weed. So instead of brownies being the special of the day, they were thinking they were "special" as in drug brownies.
No way! Are drug brownies legal in her country?
@@ralucadudescu Apparently they are not.
Children are ruthless but also delusional. I got called 36 & 49 on the same shift.
I'm 29.
Oh, pls do not worry. One day an elementary teacher asked the 7 yrs old me how old where my parents and I said "mom is 86 and dad is 190". The poor woman was quite shocked 😂. Obviously, I did not know what these numbers meant.
When ever we have kids from school doing work place practice, I get to enjoy the look on their face when I say I'm born in the 80s.
Its hilarious as they don't really have a functional sense of time and age
I’m 19 and I still have problems judging age just by looking at someone. My coworker, just because she’s shorter than me, I thought she was 17.
She’s 28 and pregnant with her third kid
@@aaronalkorand she's still shorter than you?
@@aaronalkorI mean, women usually hit their max height a few years before 17, so I don't really understand your thought process, lol.
As someone - female who is quite comfortable being such - who loved transformers, MASK (the 1980s cartoon with changing vehicles), He-Man and She-Ra, among many other different things that are usually labeled just “boys” pr “girls,” you rock telling off the Karen that it’s fine to like many things, especially growing up.
he-man! yeees!!!
I loved Transformers and She-Ra!
When I was in first grade, I was watching Transformers prime and on Valentine’s Day. One of my classmates ended out little cards. Of course they were gender specific the girls all got stupid. Hello Kitty cards meanwhile, all the boys all got cards with my favorite transformers prime characters on them. I was so mad I didn’t say anything out loud, but I was fuming on the inside. I never really cared for hello Kitty but Transformers I love that
Ooh, tell me about MASK. I'm building up content to start a channel with clips from 80's and 90's cartoons (definitely including He-Man and She-Ra) and I've never heard of that one.
@@TheSkandranon you can find MASK currently on Pluto TV which is on demand.
Basically is a group of agents - MASK, lead by Matt Trakker, who work to stop the enemy - VENOM, lead by Miles Mayhem (yes, his last name) on various schemes.
I don’t want spoil a lot but you can tell there were several historical/educational stories.
I will warn you some will be seen as slightly insensitive in today’s eyes, but they are few and far in between. (Stereotypes mostly).
If you understand that when watching you enjoy it a lot.
Kudos for that mom for ordering that cake for her son. Wish my parents were like that.
Also kudos to you for standing up to her.
Fun isn't gender nor age specific, everyone can enjoy with Lego, cars, dinosaurs, barbies, polly pocket, bratz, transformers, cartoons, video games, etc. Play on!
Moomin!
I actually did play with some of my sister's "girl" toys and she did play with some of my "boy" toys. We often played together. I didn't care about Bratz and thought they were a complete waste of money. I wasn't really into Barbies, but I at least saw the appeal. On rare occasions, I played as Ken and introduced new scenarios for my sister. She liked it and it was fun. I hated fantasy jewellery and princess props. I still hate makeup to this day.
I liked some of her dolls. I had by far the biggest collection of dolls and plush toys. Mine mostly consisted of gender neutral animals and male Disney characters. Hers were typical girl rag dolls and plush toys based on female Disney characters. I liked her three rag dolls because she gave them a personality just like I did with my dozens of dolls and plush toys.
My kids are going to be home schooled by a househusband (me). Although they'll be influenced by their parents, I'll let them play with whatever they want as long as it's not harmful. Since I'm a huge gamer, they'll definitely want to play video games like their father. I'll introduce them to many different kinds of play and see what they like. I'm not going to educate them differently based on their gender. Men should be allowed to express their emotions and women shouldn't have to compete against each other.
@@NaeniaNightingalemuumi! Menätko sinä muumimaailma?
When i was little and renting vhs tapes for movies was still a thing, i wanted to work at rental place, because i thought i would get to watch all the movies xD
The little girl wanting to be a baker to eat cakes reminded me of that.
Didn't some rental stores play a movie on the TV in the store? So you would get to watch some of them
@@hunterlawrence3573 xD not the ones that I knew. At least I don't remember lol
Chefs, and even most amateur cooks, constantly taste their food during the cooking process. Surely, bakers must do that as well? So in a sense, the little girl was correct.
Having worked in a video rental place, I can tell you that I got to watch lots of videos. It was a pretty boring job, and I had lots of downtime. I also read a lot of books, doodled, etc. Anything to keep busy.
On the other hand, movies have zero calories.
Love how in any job serving kids there's a kid who thinks it looks like a dream job cause you eat whatever you sell. I once worked in an arcade and a kid said it looked great cause if he did it he could eat all the maoams we sell as prizes
What the heck is a maoam?
@@Yndratdnable it's a chewy sweet
@@YndratdnableGermany candy.
Chewy candy from Haribo. The creators of the gummy bear

i grew up with so many barbie sets when i was a little girl!!
…
and i threw away every doll and played with the horses in them instead, racing them against my brother and his cars! which also were from barbie sets!
"Special brownies inside" 😂😂 I live in Colorado, if you don't partake of the devil's lettuce, people look at ya funny
I respect everyone’s right to partake in the devils lettuce but why do you have to judge others and try to pressure them into doing it too?
I’ve watched too much Babish my first thought reading this comment was cilantro
Finally standing up for herself I love it
“I think I’m going to go to a different bakery.”
She says that as if we’re going to be upset that she decided to leave? Ma’am, we’re overjoyed that you’re leaving!
"Yout job is so easy"
Then do it yourself, bye
Omg i love this series! People always have the weirdest things to say lol
As a teen girl, DUDE I USED TO PLAY WITH DOLLS AND DINOS! When I was 6 I literally slept with this giant plastic triceratops
I loved dinosaurs as a kid and hated Barbie. Every time McDonalds would give me the Barbie toy with a happy meal I'd march back up and ask for the car toy.
Barbies was never of any interest to me either, I just played with my Moomin house and figurines instead ^w^
Yes!
Baking one cake isn't too dang difficult, but baking not just cakes, but everything else you bake in one day as a baker, yeah, not simple at all.
Special brownies written on the board killed me LMAO
Every day I watch your videos! You're so entertaining and I love hearing your story
wow... she thinks 20 y is old for legos? There are 30 and 40 y olds playing with action figures and watching cartoons.
I’m 37 and I collect on stickers and small plushies x’)
I couldn’t afford them when I was a kid, so making that up now as an adult.
Watch the television program “Lego Masters”
Lego even has a special "adult" line with more complex models. People like that stuff. And who do you think does the jigsaw puzzles that have thousands of pieces, too? :)
And many Lego sets are too complex for children to assemble.
That "you suck" was told from the soul
"Can I have a custom cake for tomorrow, please?"
"Oh, no, sorry, we only take 2 weeks orders in advance"
"are you serious?"
"YES I AM! DO YOU REALLY THINK I HAVE ONLY YOUR OWN CUSTOM CAKE TO MAKE?" TAKE A TICKET AND GO IN LINE!"
There are usually very nice premade cakes, at least in the bakery I go to. The bakery’s been in business for over a hundred years. Almost any birthday party or anniversary would be nicer for having one. If you want a special one, plan.
@@professorbutters those aren't custom. they're premade
She didn't say "custom". For that, you need two-weeks, and perhaps some politeness would be appreciated too.@@bloodknyte
As a former cake decorator… I felt that last one personally. I made ice cream cakes but they still take a while to make, especially because they have be 100% frozen before they can be removed from the cake pan and decorated, which usually takes quite a few hours. Then decorating can take a while. Where I worked, custom cakes could only be placed a week in advance because there were almost always about ten cake orders that were needing to be made. One days I left work with 20 custom cakes in the freezers waiting for pick up. And at least that same amount that would need to be done in the next several days
Some people think the entire world revolves around them.
Now I know why I wasn't a baker. I'll have temper tantrum if I have to hear this on a regular basis 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was today years old when I learnes why bakers take orders far in advance.....
I seeiouslu did not know why before today 💀 But it makes so much more sense now
"I can tell you eat all the cakes." So freaking funny!
The idea that boys don't play with Barbies is so ridiculous. My older brother played Barbies with me, sometimes. And, I played with his Matchbox cars! I also played with Legos and Lincoln Logs.
😂😂😂 special brownies sold here 😂😂😂
"Oh. Then I know why it sold so well."
I wanna hear the skit when they come in to complain they didn’t get high from the “special brownies” 😂
I wish I could visit the bakery in real life. 😂💗
You were snarkier in these ones, which I love
I've just found this channel, it's just so gorgeous.
Yessss I love your content 😂❤ please keep posting!!
I just wanted to let you know that I just came across this channel and I've been bingeing your videos like mad each one is better than the last and your voice is so calming and you're beautiful and I always have a craving for baked goods afterwards.
That Lego set is really cool! It proves why girls aren't allowed to like racing cars, because they can accomplish something like that and be proud of it! 😂
That last one hit soo close to home. If it's really that easy, just make it yourself. It CAN be that easy, sure, but you chose to get someone else to make it at pretty much last minute. At that point, you better make it yourself or go back in time to put in the order beforehand.
Awwww... These remind me of when I worked on the Meat & Fish counter at a supermarket.
I could do these skits all day 😂
One of my favourites.. a woman came in asking why Tuna was so expensive. I told her its because its a "heavy" fish, it eats a lot of mercury.
Oh.. and a woman who came in to try and tell me that farmed salmon was inpossible because of the "logistics of selenity".. she really thought using long words would trip me up and she wantes a fight.
I said, by "logisitics" you mean "how" and by "selenity" you mean "salt".. They put salt, in the water and then put the fish in..
She stormed off really angry!
Most young people working in supermarkets are at school or going to university, they're not idiots looking for a fight with strange people.
Can I get two "special" brownies please? Wink wink
Alice grew an attitude... I like it even better now 😊
You handled this beautifully ❤❤❤❤
Honestly I usually watch your videos thinking "I would say this," this is the first video I've not done that on 🤭
"i think I'm going to a different bakery"
"Yes please"
If only she said "Ugh...how did you get here?" at the end because the chances are very high that woman did not walk to the bakery, she drove a car. Shouldn't she know she can't drive the car with her cooch? It's far too manly for her, she might start growing hair in unsightly places if she does it too much.
You have such a soothing voice
As a girl, I had no interest in Barbies when I was young. Not in cars, too, but I definitely LOVED Legos, Kaplas, and Playmobils, and globally, every game that implies building things and creating stories ! I started to love reading as far as I learned it around my 6th anniversary... These are very sweet memories 🥰
I dont get why so many people think Celiac is an allergy. Someone can build up a tolerance to an allergy or just outgrow one
Allergy or “only” an intolerance or a diabetic who needs sugar free food, you take it seriously. (Of course, if you have a nut allergy, a bakery probably can’t guarantee a totally nut-free environment and has a sign up saying that).
"Thanks for leaving and never come back :D"
Can we talk about how sweet and nice is mom of the boy who loves Barbie? Because it seems like she's very supportive and polite, we need more people like that ❤
If they made a toy t-rex big enough to eat a barbie doll, Mattel would make a killing.
Really love this channel ❤ I wish I could visit your bakery. I used to be a barista so I can empathise with some of the nonsense you have to put up with.
After the Karen says what little girls and boys should be growing up with I would’ve replied with something like “well I think you should’ve grown up with some manners!”
I was a girl who played with Hot Wheels (and still collect them as an adult). I was always annoyed by the idea of “boys toys” and “girls toys”. Why does it matter what toys kids play with as long as they’re not dangerous? I also played with Barbies and got many boys to play with them, too, when they realized Barbie is just an action figure with a better wardrobe. The bent armed ones can hold a GI Joe machine gun or bazooka just fine.
Your Hair is so fluffy its amazing XD
I played with dinosaurs and Barbie’s growing up. I re-enacted Jurassic Park with my toys. And I just realized the missed opportunity of having Barbie being mauled by a T-Rex on my fifth birthday cake. Damn.
That look of surprise, at the Special Brownies..😅
1:33 it's even better now that Lando won a race hehe
Mom who lets her son have his Barbie cake is awesome 😎
Love what you do
NOT THE SPECIAL BROWNIE😭😭😭😭
my roommate made brownies for me to take to work, and the first thing EVERYONE asked was if they had weed in them
Weirdly, I feel like the mother trying to build up her daughter's celiac tolerance is coming from a well intentioned place. A misinformed, ignorant, and dangerous place too, but with well meaning intent compared to most similar types of stories. She knows celiac is a real thing and is trying to help. She's just doing it in a terrible way. Bless her heart.
I don't think she is. I think it's purely malicious and oppositional. There are just so many steps failed, that it can't be anything other than malice.
@@anne-vc7bg Remember, this is either a recreation or possibly purely fictional. Within the context of that, I am saying that it appears to me that the depiction portrays the mother as more ignorant than malicious. Much beyond that is outside the scope of a skit intended to be a brief moment of amusement.
@@EvanEdwards I know more than one person like that in real life. This is very realistic to me. Both the CA (adult children included), as well as people lying about illness and allergies.
@@anne-vc7bg And I know many parents of children with medical issues achingly desperate to help their loved one, turning to quackery, folklore, and their best efforts that are horrible from a medical standpoint. Both happen.
My wife died a year and 16 days ago. While she was dying of cancer, I would have seized on anything, so while I had to make decisions as I sat in the ICU, I picked two doctors (her oncologist and nephrologist) and trusted them. I had to will myself to not overthink, trust the experts, and accept reality. It is seductive to make medical decisions from your own knowledge, like the idea that you could build up an immunity to gluten in your suffering child and help their life become unencumbered by suffering and instead thrive.
That is ignorance--and dangerous ignorance--but it is also love. Unlike the malice in your experience and in so many third hand stories I have heard. None of the people I know who have celiac have run into that from family; I am good friends with a couple whose child just moved out who has celiac, and they carefully crafted a safe home for her. All the stories I have heard have been on the internet, and I am sure it happens.
I'm guessing people thought the special brownies were weed brownies
Nah, … they just thought the special brownies were dope.
Srsly 'Oh my god don't cry' is purely vibes
Oh.. Let´s just throw my Bruder Toys collection away, because im almost 20 in one month.
An hour after eating my brownie - "that was just a normal brownie :c"
the appropriate answer to "you are 20 and you have that?" is "I am 20 and have a job, so I can buy things I like instead of what others want me to grow up with"
Fun fact: The term "action figure" was first used by Hasbro to sell G. I. Joe's because they were afraid if they called them "boy's dolls" no one would buy them. So technically boys do play with dolls.
Thank you so much for not serving the people who mess with their celiac kids safty!
Dang. I sure wish we had a Alice bakery in my town.
I DID NOT EXPECT YOU TO PULL UP THAT LEGO MCLAREN. LOVE THAT
omg these videos are great! also hi, i’m early
People who think it’s childish to do fun things as an adult are usually pretty miserable people who are most likely doing “childish” things in secret and they are projecting their insecurities onto other people. Reference my 90 year old grandmother who is secretly obsessed with Snoopy.
I love cream cheese, but I hate it as an icing because it always leaves a sour aftertaste in my mouth. This is also true with some (but not all) cheesecakes.
So I can totally understand the baker’s look at that. The customer who hates sour things and then picks out the three sour things sold. 😂
Ha ha ha!!!
I wish i could take you out for coffee and talk with you.
Lol!!
"you look like you eat all the cakes" thanks kid i try.
Alice, do you have a brick and mortar store? My friends are going to Ireland soon and was going to direct them to you! Love your videos
Oh thank god when you said i will not be serving you. I habe celiac and that is a total nightmare. Fortunately my mother also has it and the rest of my family has always been really good about it... but yikes lady
Build up her celiac tolerance lol!! God I WISH it worked like that!!
My Barbies got to date GI Joe, Knight Rider and He-man, etc. She had to drive, because the action figures could never see over the dash of her pink Corvette.😂😂😂 I grew up with a younger brother. We mixed our toys up often. (My daughter was raised with Barbie dolls, a kitchen, hot wheels, and whatever really.)
Happy birthday!
The only way this would be better, would be if she has a tiny T-Rex sitting inside the Lego F1 car
❤❤❤ I am big fan as a head cake person this happens to me every weekend and I would have loved to said that thanks for this❤❤❤😅😅😅
1:28 Anyone remember race car driver Barbie? Man, as a kid I never realized how feminist the "I can be anything" series was
i hope she uploads a recipe video soon
Two reasons why I love your videos:
* You obviously love your job.
* You are beautiful. ⚘️
That's absurd!!! Every kid should get a funfetti cake with a car race between a Barbie and a Dinosaur on a rainbow sprinkles racetrack
EVERY child should grow up with dinosaurs.
I think I am going to go to a different bakery....

Alright everyone, we have a boogey inbound with information choclax 7.
That’s some fine Lego right there🏎️vroom
Me when I become a full grown woman with Godzilla figures in my room 😂
Shin Godzilla definitely isn't for kids
If writing the words: “Special Brownies” helps create a massive boom in sales, keep on doing it.
I have all Barbie movies on VHS Love dinosaurs and racing cars lol
Bruh i got the second hand anger😢
I’m almost certain the child in question didn’t mean you’re fat, just meant you seem happy
Proof that it's not just men who are sexist. My mother can be extremely sexist at times without even realizing it.
Baking is simple anyone can make a lump of charcoal, baking well is not so easy, baking to a professional standard is really hard.
My mum and Grandma taught me a baked, and I love it but it's a lot of effort that I couldn't be arsed to do if it's just me😅
1:19 this is like when people saw that Godzilla turn pink in GxK the new empire 😂lmao
