- Wow, Maya, I can't believe we're really
on the set of the Mini Brands
Cooking Competition Show.
- Not only are we on the set,
but we're actual contestants on the show.
- This should be so much fun.
- Watch out, girls, lights coming through.
- Maybe he's a director.
- Maybe so.
But I'm a little bit worried, Maya,
because we don't really know how to cook.
- Shh, we can't tell anyone that.
We're only here
because we wanna open as many as possible
of these 5 Surprise Mini Brands.
- I know, series two looks so amazing.
I love all the glittery, gold packaging.
- And look over there, you
can get some sneak peaks
on what's really inside.
- [Addy] Muffins, Bagel Bites, Babybel.
- There's so many real shopping brands.
- The host has arrived
and it's almost time to go live.
How does my hair look, girls.
- Oh lovely.
We're big fans of you
and your show, Minnie.
- Oh, thank you, I hear
that all the time though.
Hey, we go live in 10 seconds
and you aren't even in your coats.
Chop, chop, girls.
Come on.
(upbeat music)
Make sure you're smiling, girls.
- [Man] We're live in
three, two, one, action.
- Welcome to the Mini
Brands Cooking Competition.
I'm your lovely host, Minnie Charming,
and I have two mini
contestants here with me today.
What are your names, girls?
- My name's Addy.
- Nice to meet you.
And you, cutie pie?
- My name is Maya.
- Wonderful.
In just a few minutes, Addy and Maya
will each unwrap three series two,
5 Surprise Mini Brands capsules.
They'll pop open each capsule,
peel away the seal, and
reveal five miniatures
of some of your favorite brands.
That's right, they might
uncover and collect
some lovable brands such
as, Jell-O, Kool-Aid,
and even Lunchables.
Then from each of their three capsules,
each contestant will be required
to select one food item
that they will incorporate
into their tasty concoction.
They will have 30 minutes
to use these three items
to create a deliciously
satisfying culinary creation,
which will then be judged by
an expert food critic, me.
The winner will leave with
100 5 Surprise Mini Brands.
- Oh, this is all so amazing.
- Are you girls ready to
unwrap, peel, and reveal?
- Absolutely.
- You girls may each begin
with your first 5 Surprise Mini Brands.
(upbeat music)
(wrapper crinkling)
- Oh, I can't wait to see what's inside.
- It's time to peel.
Wow!
- What is your first Mini Brand, Addy?
- [Addy] Maxwell House coffee.
- Mm.
- And I got ground cinnamon.
- As the girls continue to
reveal their miniatures,
I have a few quick
reminders for our viewers.
For each rare, metallic, or
glow-in-the-dark miniature found
five minutes will be added
to their cooking time.
And if either is lucky enough
to find a super rare gold mini
10 minutes will be added
to their cooking time.
Let's see what the girls
have uncovered so far.
We'll start with Addy.
- I have Country Time pink lemonade,
and zesty Italian dressing.
- And I see Maya has an extra surprise
of finding a shopping accessory.
- [Maya] Yes, I'm putting together
a Mini Brands cash register.
- Okay, two more miniatures to reveal.
(wrapper crinkling)
- It looks like Addy has
added vanilla extract
to her collection.
Let's see how Maya is coming along.
- What do you have, Maya?
- Now I have pickles, feta
cheese, Crystal Light lemonade.
- Wonderful options.
And now it looks Addy is moving
to her final Mini Brands.
- [Addy] It's Cool Whip!
- Mm, delicious.
Well, it's time for the first decision.
Girls, what is the first ingredient
you're going to use in
our cooking competition?
We'll start with Addy.
- Well, I think I'm gonna go
with good old Italian dressing.
- Interesting choice.
Maya, what are you choosing?
- It was a tough decision,
but I'm gonna go with pickles.
- Another interesting decision.
I'm sure these mini cooks will wow us
with these first ingredients.
(upbeat music)
- Oh my, I can't believe
I've already missed
the first few minutes
of the Mini Brands Cooking Competition.
Wait a minute, is that Addy and Maya?
It can't be.
- Well, it's time for Addy and Maya
to now unwrap, peel, and reveal
their second 5 Surprise Mini Brands.
- Yep, that's definitely them.
How could I not know about this?
And the girls can't even cook.
Oh my, this could be disastrous.
(light music)
(wrappers crinkling)
- Whoa, it's chocolate Almond Breeze.
- And I got Blue Diamond
smokehouse almonds.
- [Addy] Crinkle fries, my favorite.
- And I got strawberry Jell-O.
That's my favorite.
- As a quick remind to our viewers,
there are over 70 miniatures
that you can collect
in this newest series.
As well as six miniature
shopping accessories
that include carts, baskets, shelves,
cash registers, and paper bags.
- Time for my last reveal.
Whoa, I love Lunchables.
- Well, it is once again decision time
and Addy and Maya will be
selecting their second ingredient
for their concoction.
Let's take a look at the items
that Addy has to choose from.
She has french fries, cheese dippers,
chocolate milk, shredded
cheese, and Lunchables.
Addy, what are you going to select?
- Definitely the Lunchables
pizza with pepperoni.
- Interesting choice.
And now, let's review Maya's choices
for her second selection.
Maya has Nut-Thins,
smokehouse almonds, Jell-O,
spaghetti sauce, and Kool-Aid.
Maya, what are you choosing?
- [Maya] I'm gonna go with Jell-O.
- Oh my, so Maya's first two ingredients
are pickles and Jell-O.
And Addy's first two ingredients
are Lunchables pizza and salad dressing?
What in the world were they thinking?
Well, they each have one
more ingredient to choose.
Hopefully, they can make all
this come together somehow.
- Well, the girls are now
opening their final Mini Brands
from their third capsule.
(wrapper crinkling)
- Whoa, I got zesty Italian dressing too.
- And now for Addy's final Mini Brands.
(wrapper crinkling)
- Wow, Stove Top chicken stuffing.
- That means it's time for the girls
to select the final ingredient
they'll be using in the
cooking competition.
Let's review their options.
Since the girls each
opened a shopping accessory
in their final 5 Surprise,
that means they have four food ingredients
to choose from.
Addy's choices are A1 steak
sauce, chicken stuffing,
bacon, and Zatarain's red beans and rice.
What are you going with, Addy?
I think I'm gonna go with
the red beans and rice.
- Very interesting.
Let's move on to Maya now.
Maya, your selections are chicken stock,
Miracle Whip, Italian dressing,
and Frank's Red Hot sauce.
What are you going with?
- I'm gonna go with Frank's Red Hot sauce.
- Well, okay.
The girls have made
their final selections.
Now my assistant will be entering
to give each of the girls
the life-size versions of the ingredients
that they have chosen.
And in a moment, they will have 30 minutes
to create their dish.
Addy's dish must include Italian dressing,
Lunchables pepperoni pizza,
and red beans and rice.
While Maya's dish must
include, Frank's Red Hot sauce,
strawberry Jell-O, and dill pickles.
As usual, the girls will have access
to other ingredients stocked
in our refrigerator and pantry,
as well as all of our kitchen appliances.
Are you girls ready?
- As ready as we'll ever be.
- Then I'll get out of the way,
and their time begins now.
(timer ticking)
- Oh, this is terrible.
I don't think either girls
could have chosen an odder
combination of foods.
Sure, on their own, Jell-O's delicious.
Pickles, quite delectable.
Hot sauce gives a nice taste in meals.
But together?
There's just no way
they can pull this off.
What are they gonna do?
- Mm, mm, you can never
have too many pickle bites.
Hmm, maybe I can use the
leftover pickle juice
for my recipe too.
- Okay, I think this just
needs to simmer for a bit.
I'll put the lid on and
let it do its magic.
- That actually smells pretty good, Addy.
- Thanks, Maya.
How's your food coming?
- Um, it's coming along,
but I really have no idea
what I'm doing.
- Yep, I'm in the same boat, girl.
- Maybe our cooking skills
will surprise us though.
- Well, it seems as though Addy and Maya
are off to a good start,
however, those 30 minutes
are going by quickly.
I think Addy and Maya will appreciate
an opportunity to earn
an extra five minutes
of cooking time.
Girls, it's time for a
rapid mini food challenge.
- Yay, this is my
favorite part of the show.
- Today's rapid mini challenge
is brought to us by the 5 Surprise
Mini Heinz Sweet Relish.
- Yum, you can never have too much relish.
- Addy and Maya, you will have 30 seconds
to empty an entire container of relish
into your bowl.
If you complete the challenge,
we will add five minutes
to your cooking time.
- Oh, I could use an extra five minutes.
- Girls, get into position.
And their time begins now.
(upbeat music)
(timer ticking)
They're moving quickly,
but so is the time.
- I'm getting there, I'm getting there.
- That last little bit
is going to prove tough to get out.
- Come on, come on!
(thumping bottles)
- Three, two, one!
- Done!
- Done!
- Congratulations, they both earned
an additional five minutes.
(girls cheer)
Now get back to work.
- Yes!
Oh boy, I was on pins and
needles watching that.
They cut that so close.
But boy, those girls are gonna need
those extra five minutes.
I gotta sit down and calm down.
(upbeat music)
- Now for the pepperoni.
And a touch of cheese.
- Okay, the Jell-O's dissolved,
now time to add the cold water.
Stir, stir, stir.
Now I better add the pickles
before the Jell-O settles too much.
- Are you really putting
pickles in your Jell-O?
- Sure am.
I think it'll add a nice
crunch, don't you think?
- Sure, why not?
- I just need to stir it a bit
and I'll put it in the
fridge for a few minutes.
- You better hope that
Jell-O settles fast.
Time is ticking.
- I know, don't remind me.
- Looking good, looking good,
just needs a few more minutes.
- Okay, refrigerator for four hours?
- There's only 12 minutes
remaining in the competition
and both Addy and Maya
appear to be a little nervous
about finishing.
Now's a perfect time to introduce
our final rapid mini challenge.
Girls, it's time for
another mini challenge.
- Oh, good, I need some extra time.
- Our next rapid mini challenge
is brought to us by
the 5 Surprise Mini Blue Diamond Almonds.
- Yum, do we get to eat them?
- I'm afraid not.
Addy and Maya will each have 30 seconds
to transfer eight lightly salted almonds
from one plate to another plate.
However, there is a catch.
Only a straw may come in
contact with the almond.
No hands are allowed.
- Oh boy, this is gonna be tough.
- Get into position girls,
because your time begins now.
(upbeat music)
(timer ticking)
Addy has one.
Oh, Addy's moving quickly.
Maya's quickly catching up.
Addy finished and Maya has one remaining
with four seconds to go.
(buzzer buzzes)
(girls cheers)
And she did it.
Both girls have completed
the challenge successfully
and will have an additional five minutes
of cooking time.
Girls, get to work.
- Time to get this baby open.
- Oh, another close one.
Okay, so Addy still hasn't
used her salad dressing
and Maya still hasn't
incorporated the hot sauce
into her dish.
I sure hope they can make this
all come together somehow.
- Well, there are two minutes remaining
in the competition
and Addy and Maya sure are scrambling.
Let's see if they can pull this off.
- Oh no, my Jell-O didn't settle at all.
(spoon banging)
- All right, a couple
slices of pepperoni pizza.
- This hot sauce should
give it a nice kick,
- And now for the Italian dressing.
A little bit more.
- Okay, that should
just about do the trick.
- Lid is going down.
Time to blend.
(blender whirring)
- I must not have seen that correctly.
Addy didn't really blend all three
of those ingredients together, did she?
No, she couldn't have.
Oh, I don't think I can watch the judging.
Oh!
- Well, it's time for the judging.
Each dish will be scored
on a scale of one to 10 with
10 being the most delicious.
The mini contestant with the higher score
will leave with 100 series
two 5 Surprise Mini Brands.
- So exciting.
- Now I see you two switched places on me.
Addy, I'll begin with you.
What dish did you prepare?
- I prepared this specialty smoothie.
- I like to call it zesty
Lunchables bean and rice delight.
- Interesting name.
Well, it's time for the taste test.
(Minnie exclaims)
Horrible!
I need a water!
Crew, somebody, get me a water!
Go to commercial break.
- Oh wow, that was even worse
than I imagined it would be.
Oh, I can't bear to
see what she has to say
about Maya's dish now.
- I do apologize for the abrupt transition
to a commercial break.
We are back now and it's
time to judge Maya's dish.
Which absolutely has to be
better than the last one.
Now Maya, tell me about your creation.
- Well, I call it, hot
pickle Jell-O surprise.
Hope you enjoy it.
- Yes, so do I.
Let's take a test.
Oh, quite liquid-y.
A little crunch.
Hot!
Hot!
I need water.
Water again!
My mouth is on fire.
You both get zero,
no one's leaving with the 5 Surprise.
(Minnie exclaims)
- Well, that did not go the way
we hoped it would.
- Definitely not.
- That was such a bummer, Maya.
- You can say that again.
What's that over there?
- They're 5 Surprise Mini Brands.
And they're even series two.
- Who do you suppose they're from?
- It looks like there's a card.
Dear Addy and Maya,
you two are such amazing daughters.
I wanted to brighten your
day with a little surprise.
Love, Mom.
- Do you think she knew about
our cooking competition?
- Nah, I doubt it.
- Well, should we start opening them?
- Absolutely.
As long as there's no
cooking involved this time.
