Oh my God! I'm sorry, you experienced this kind of worst nightmare. A cookie tin container is supposed to be a sewing kit. If it was a prank that was really not funny! You poor soul. 😔
I had a filipino house keeper. After about 2 years of having her, one day I was going through a cabinet that I never use and found every container I had ever used, cleaned and stacked in this cabinet.
we do some improvised..or sometimes if we have extra viand..we used icecream tub to send adobo to our neighbors..we can reused something that we can be reused..
As a Filipino American, this is actually good for the environment to recycle, and most Asians, not just Filipinos, do this. I think we can safely say that most people from humble backgrounds do this, regardless of race.
Asian and African parents aren’t so different after all. I grew up with “hey there’s a whole tub of ice cream in the freezer” only to find out it’s some pungenty leftovers from last night! Because of this past trauma, I spoil my son with fancy lunchboxes
Holy smokes, EVERYBODY does this here. This is very accurate, to the container. The sewing kit, oil jar, pencil case, teriyaki lunch, all of it, it’s all true! It’s like he just showed me a magic trick!
Honestly speaking, when you adopt this kind of idea will save you money and not just that, you help saving the Mother Nature by reducing the single use of plastics.
When you are an Asian and raised in your own country and witnessed how your elders save plastic bags and containers until you grown up, you may develop a conscience or feel guilt to just throw the plastic bags or containers away without reusing it😅 #LoveFrom🇵🇭
Jo.... I have to tell you... my youngest son, JM, is a Filipino living in Passi, Iloilo. He is 10 years old and serious about being a chef. He ❤️ cooking. Anyhow... he uses what almost looks like real Tupperware. He mostly uses that stuff to keep the ants out. And it is the rural Philippines... so electricity is not reliable enough to use a refrigerator. JM loves to go grocery shopping. Most of the food they buy in Passi City, does not come in reusable containers. Long story short, I unofficially adopted my two sons, at their request, back in January 2018. At that time, JM was 7 years old and his brother Kyle was 11 years old. I have been their Daddy ever since. You might appreciate this ( rice is rice ).... when JM bought his first rice cooker, he hugged it all the way home on the trike. Lol.
I remember the day I found out that those tins really did come with cookies. Lol. When I was little I thought that the images of cookies were just decorative.
me too..it saves a little penny and a little time not going to grocery...i am not shy having this kind of reused containers or tub to bring may lunch in my office..it is penny saving and it is good
Yellow Golden Spread containers were the ones we always used.... ethnicity has nothing to do with it. Memories of always hunting in the refrigerator and freezer...in a sea of yellow containers, lol.
The best part is he's not wrong. He's actually quite accurate 🤣🤣 The only I'd change is it's not exclusively Filipino, I'm sure most Asian families do this.
Korean families do this as well haha isn’t it just economically and environmentally better to do this? Seriously, why would you throw away a perfectly good container?
Especially a nice glass jar! All you have to do is soak the jar in hot soapy water to remove the paper label & wipe off with rubbing alcohol to remove residue!
You got it. That high quality plastic can last a long time. Just don’t heat it up too much, so no Bisphenol leeches out to the food. No microwaving either! Otherwise, go for it. I save every glass jar, so I can make pickles, hard boiled quail eggs in slat brine, etc. last forever. And I DO search for the sauces and things with good quality containers too! ;)
I just got mine in the mail today and it is already impressing everybody. It was a steal and my wife is putting all the containers to use even the one that stores the pencils!!! Thank you, you guys were lifesavers and it was convenient and a cheap price, definitely worth the wait.
Many years ago I worked on Kodak Is., Alaska and I was “adopted “ by a Filipino family and the Tala (mom) would bring me lunch at where we worked everyday in butter container. I laughed out loud watching this1
We're Black and we have always done this so I showed it to my mom and she said, "well, it IS a shame to just throw them away...." The blue can sewing kit nailed it
Ikr. Especially the nice looking packaging stuff. I use literally all of the glass bottles from juices/tea as portable paint water container and as vases.
@@desireeortiz9532 not really, its about saving what you can save even when it gets tacky. Its just plastic containers and jars are the most notorious ones.
my grandpa and grandma have those stuff that i thought theirs cookies inside, 8 yr old me was prank not just ones but hundred times bc all my relatives do have that thing
The cookie tin! Whenever I saw that at an auntie's house, I didn't even bother looking inside. I only ever saw the actual cookies at my white friends' houses
HILARIOUS!!! I cleaned my 80 year old Mother's shed yesterday and today in the 90° heat. What a job! I found 27 gallon jugs, 1 dozen (+) Gatorade bottles, 16 ice cream buckets, 7 laundry detergent buckets, 4 dishwashing detergent buckets and 176 canning jars. The sour cream, butter and Cool Whip bowls are stored in the kitchen cabinets and used on a regular basis for leftovers. My collection isn't quite as significant but I have plenty enough to last a while. Mirror, mirror on the wall, I am my Mother after all. Hmmmm... Perhaps I should sell them online as a little sidekick during these days of uncertainty due to the Pandemic.. Any offers??? ... 😂🤣😂
our elders are very frugal or should i say anything that can be reused saves our little penny..little time to go to grocery..but really most filipinoes do not rely on can goods for lunch..only sardines is a best part of it during rainy days "did u feel the delisciousness of bahaw (cold rice) and a sardines best comfy food
Lived with my grandma for years and she is the absolute spitting image of this, also passing it onto me. Moved in with my momma and started keeping all types of ‘Filipino’ Tupperware thinking she’d appreciate em like grandma did..she caught me one day and yelled at me saying, “boy, you’re the one whose been storing all this trash in my dishwasher?”...😓
@@IM-eq9gx Dishwashers are just drying racks in my house. I don't think I've ever seen it turned on to actually wash dishes. Only to drain the water that ends up collecting at the bottom.
I remember my niece used to eat everything in the fridge but she used to know that ice cream containers always has fish on it. One time, my sister bought an ice cream and it lasted for a week. Mom didn't tell her that they have ice cream😁
Reusing any plastic containers and jars is a learned behavior from my Grandma💓 along with washing and air drying Ziploc bags and she would reuse aluminum foil if it wasn't in bad shape. The thrifty things you learn from someone who lived through the Great Depression.
My mom actually picks the food brand with a better container. "Oh, we should buy this. This container is perfect!" Even before buying she already has an idea of how and where she'll be reusing it 😂
OMJ, at least your darling also entertains you🤪 pointless to buy those fancy storage containers and Tupperware because we end up losing them, what a waste! Might as well recycle them containers.
This is strange because my grandma is italian and she saves all the old containers so did my american grandma seems like the older generations just know how to reuse things. My italian grandma also used the same butter cookie container as a sewing kit too
mother from Italy, father Philipino .. i was almost lost to an avalanche of these miss matched containers every time you opened the "Tupperware" cabinet
My dad and I were watching Jo Koy’s stand up when he talks about losing his keys and how his mom always knows where her keys are because she keeps it on a wooden key holder that says “KEYS”.... i look over in the kitchen and low and behold.. it’s a wooden key holder that says “KEYS”. 😂🤣
I won't say it is a Filipino things, in fact, it is almost an Asian thing. As long as you are an Asian, you'll recycle all kind used plastic containers. That's Asian Tupperware.
It’s basically everyone except white people.. Latinos, Africans, Asians they all do this.. blue tins of cookies are always sewing kits we know how it is 😔
When we were moving after living in our old house about 15 years, my husband was amazed when he saw me packing several LARGE boxes with literally a couple hundred assorted 'recycled' plastic containers and wonderful glass jars ...... I admit it, I have a thing about reusing unique glass bottles and jars ...... Guess I'm just weird.
When the world got polluted because of plastic bags, don't ever blame the asians. All of our plastic bags were under the sink edit: Woaaw this blew up pretty big, definitely agreed on y'all! recycling was never limited to any region of the earth, Glad that we have socially responsible upbringing wherever we are! I hope the penguins are doing it too XD :)
when you visit a relatives feast and there's a lot of leftover and you wanna bring home some of it..those containers are useful as they don't need to send it back..bring it for keeps..🤣
ice cream container is also used for the picnic, even if it disappears, it doesn't hurt anymore, but it's fun when you come home, mom's first question is did you take home the Tupperware referring to the ice cream containers haha
The most devastating thing that could happen with this is finding your favorite ice cream in the freezer and opening it just to find out there's "Tilapia" inside!
Same here! I’d have to go through 3 tubs to find the actual butter 😅 irony though, I have 2 half sisters who Filipino so I see it in their family too! For the longest time I thought everyone did that lolol
I'm Filipino and, yes, we do re-use ziplock bags (we wash it like we wash dishes). And even in Filipino family parties, we don't just throw away disposable spoons and forks and plastic cups. We wash it because it's considered wasteful to throw them away while in perfect condition. 😆
Hahahaha that is sooo true, my Greek mother re uses zip lock bags and she uses them for EVERYTHING! Food, scarfs, old cell phones, toiletries, books... I feel like all immigrants do things like re using jars, the cookie tin etc. Hey, if it works, no need to change it hahaha 😂
Asian here. Seen all those containers in my parents fridge when i was a child, with different leftovers in it lol. Im going to pass the tradition and do it to my kids 😂
This is my grandma right here, saves every container, because when she sends you home with left overs she doesn’t want to send you home with her good tuber wear. 😆
My mom does this and we’re Mexican. Need to take some pozole home after a birthday party, wedding or quinceanera but have no Tupperware ??? Just grab a Neapolitan tub and you’re set with breakfast and dinner for the next day.
Culture wise, Mexican and Filipinos has a lot in common. Not a surprise because we trade a lot during the Spanish era for almost 400 years under Spanish colony (trade of Acapulco) and guess what Spanish tongue has been totally eradicated during US Colony. That's us here in the Philippines and we are brothers.
Reminds me of that Mr Iglesias episode where he says Filipinos and Mexicans think alike, that's right Jo Koy, this was my childhood growing up where pickle jars were used for salsa
Boston Irish here, our food sucks, boiled potatoes.Not a lot of need for storage of exotic things like "sauce"... I used to try to eat at the Italian kids' house, because they had good food.
The best shit I’ve seen in a long while... FACTS, RELATABLE AND HYSTERICAL. All a kid wanted was a dang cookie, instead you find a boat load of thread and good luck locating that needle. All I wanted was a cookie.
I remember opening my Lola’s fridge. I’m looking for butter to put on pandesal, but the container I opened had old adobo. Second one had old sinigeng, finally the third container had butter.
LOL. This was great! My mom is the "Tupperware Queen". She saves containers from all places. I think it's funny BUT she is always able to find one when she needs it.
Honey this isn't just a Filipino or Asian thing I don't know who started this but even Dominicans do this. me a fifteen-year-old does this because of my grandma.
It's not just Filipinos who reuse old containers; a lot of other people do it, too. My friend from Hungary said that they would use Pringle containers as piggy banks or where they would put their pens/pencils. Not everyone in the world is as rich as the US. Reusing containers is better for the environment, too.
You're amazing! I really want to attend a show of yours someday !! Your jokes make my grandma laugh all the time .even if we are Spanish it's so relatable.
One time i opened the sewing tin at my white friends house and it actually had cookies in it. Still haunts me till this day
Lol!!
🤭😄
Oh my God! I'm sorry, you experienced this kind of worst nightmare. A cookie tin container is supposed to be a sewing kit. If it was a prank that was really not funny! You poor soul. 😔
Why did I laugh so hard at this?? 😆😆

This is amazing. The only thing missing from the sewing kit is the tomato-shaped pin cushion with pins and needles sticking out of it.
Yeah..
Relate much man..
Sewing kit from elementary school..hahahah..! 😆💕

Very true
We Mexicans also do this all the time 😬

This is how we got scammed as a kid. We see an ice cream tub in the freezer, but guess what, it's freaking fish!!!!!
LMAO OMG SO TRUE!!!X

Omg the worst is when you open the freezer and there’s a carton of ice cream, you get hella excited, and you open it and find dried fish. 🤣🤣🤣

Usually frozen fish and meats for those one 1.2L ice cream containers. Sauces in the pints. Then you save the little ice cream cups for condiments.
Add Hispanic parents to it. You know what I found in my butter containers? Sofrito or beans!

I won't say it is a Filipino things, in fact, it is almost an Asian thing. As long as you are an Asian, you'll recycle all kind used plastic containers. That's Asian Tupperware.
It’s a Mexican thing too
An African thing too
It’s basically everyone except white people.. Latinos, Africans, Asians they all do this.. blue tins of cookies are always sewing kits we know how it is 😔
@@calypsovaldez This is a white thing too, all my leftovers came out of cool whip and butter containers as a kid
definitely a white kid thing too - by the way, pro tip - the cool whip containers make GREAT salad bowls.
I tried calling the number but couldn’t get anyone on the line. I really want the Filipino Tupperware.
LoL!
😂
🤣😜😜🤣😂 he is just kidding
I like that Jo had salsa in the sour cream container but the salsa jar was right next to the salsa.
Because the salsa jar is glass so that's for oil. Lol 🤣 I don't know why that makes so much sense to me but it does.
RS7JR cuz oil is hot 😂 cant put in plastic
I Was like “shots fired!” Lol
I am happy about all of this. Haha 😁😀😋🤗❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hahahah..!
Hilarious..😆💕
When we were moving after living in our old house about 15 years, my husband was amazed when he saw me packing several LARGE boxes with literally a couple hundred assorted 'recycled' plastic containers and wonderful glass jars ...... I admit it, I have a thing about reusing unique glass bottles and jars ...... Guess I'm just weird.
Not weird....resourceful n economical. Your husband should thank you
@Nia. I agree, you're not weird-just organized. You can see the contents which takes away the guess what's in here game. smile
When the world got polluted because of plastic bags, don't ever blame the asians. All of our plastic bags were under the sink
edit: Woaaw this blew up pretty big, definitely agreed on y'all! recycling was never limited to any region of the earth, Glad that we have socially responsible upbringing wherever we are! I hope the penguins are doing it too XD :)
Did you have a bag of bags?
@@artcargirl well yes, the thickest plastic bag is considered to be the bag of bags lol
Hahaha so true. My Lolo and Lola kept their plastic bags in a big old glass cookie jar 😂
Hispanics can relate to this post 😂
👍👍😂😂😂
Filipino’s can only relate.
**opens fridge**
**sees ice cream box**
**gets excited**
**opens it and realizes it’s fish**:👁👄👁
Tilapia: surprise, mothertrucker
@@chloe-kh3oe don't even get your hopes up. Haha
Latinos too
Jon Irwin yesss
Trailer park trash too. Cool whip bowls were my cereal bowls.
used to laugh at my Inay back in the days until i become a mom and hoard those kind of containers and jars..you are brilliant, Jokoy!!!
when you visit a relatives feast and there's a lot of leftover and you wanna bring home some of it..those containers are useful as they don't need to send it back..bring it for keeps..🤣
Legit AF
This is not isolated to Filipinos. This was essentially every Asian kid’s mom recycling containers for re-use.
Not even I’m from the Caribbeans and I currently have bean sauce in my old yogurt container
Deborah Auguste I’m half white and Mexican both sides do it, mostly my white side, it’s just practical lol
Mexicanos tambien jajaja😂
Africans use these for leftovers😂
Javier Toquinto right! “Mija if your hungry the fideo is in the manteca container!”
Expectation: Ice cream
Reality: Tilapia
Filipino?🤣🤣🤣
ice cream container is also used for the picnic, even if it disappears, it doesn't hurt anymore, but it's fun when you come home, mom's first question is did you take home the Tupperware referring to the ice cream containers haha
Relatable XD
Galong gong😂
Mine had curry goat inside 🤣
The sewing bizkit I'll never get over, it's the oldest recycling kit I've ever known.
My mom does this and we're Mexican... she won't let me throw them out lol.
Wow we same culture about that..
Same with my mom... she’s Colombian
As Jokoy had said on one of his skits, Filipinos are Asia's Mexicans 😅😂
Because she is smart. Why waste money on buying containers when you have one got free?
@@t_n_rasberry8387 so true 😅😅
The most devastating thing that could happen with this is finding your favorite ice cream in the freezer and opening it just to find out there's "Tilapia" inside!
Or galunggong hahahaha
@@markkillofflomram3591 or liempo covered in soy sauce
OH YES
Hahaha because it’s deep enough to hold the marinade
This poor white ppl too. My whole life is leftovers in the country crok butter Tupperware 😂😂 Filipinos we got a lot in common love y’all
Gospel. I’m paper white and same.
Same here! I’d have to go through 3 tubs to find the actual butter 😅 irony though, I have 2 half sisters who Filipino so I see it in their family too! For the longest time I thought everyone did that lolol
We do this in Norway too, ice cream containers in the freezer filled with... plums lol
this is poor people/immigrant tupperware 😭
I literally just said on somebody else’s comment, “That Country Crock container ruined my life with it’s lies”
OMG this is totally my mom when she comes over to my house to help us out... she re-uses all the jars and guess what, even the zip lock bags!!
My ex-husband did the same thing with zip lock bags. He'd have them lying or propped up all over the kitchen to air dry and reuse. 😂😂😂😂
I'm Filipino and, yes, we do re-use ziplock bags (we wash it like we wash dishes). And even in Filipino family parties, we don't just throw away disposable spoons and forks and plastic cups. We wash it because it's considered wasteful to throw them away while in perfect condition. 😆
Hahahaha that is sooo true, my Greek mother re uses zip lock bags and she uses them for EVERYTHING! Food, scarfs, old cell phones, toiletries, books... I feel like all immigrants do things like re using jars, the cookie tin etc. Hey, if it works, no need to change it hahaha 😂
only rich people dont reuse a perfectly reusable zip lock bags.
This set is awesome. I originally got my first set 30 years ago when living on a small farm in Maine. I rate it: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
That's exactly how our family's sewing kit looks like. (Royal dansk cookie tin can) A bit rusty through all these years.. Proud pinoy here.
Asian here. Seen all those containers in my parents fridge when i was a child, with different leftovers in it lol. Im going to pass the tradition and do it to my kids 😂
Jokoy next product ro promote is “Tabo” 😂
he did already
😂😂😂
yes indeed, mini buckets thatre better to hold and can wash your ass with
Tabo for you know what lol
I might just buy the whole thing of how he say's "pens and pencils".
I always said that Phillipeanos are the black Asisns. I swear they are so Carribean. That's why we get along so well. :)
Filipinos dancing to carribean music

Best thing i've read all day. Thank you! 😂
That's what Paul Mooney says!
Yeahh..

I guess my Nana and Aunties had the "African-American" Tupperware version.
Those brands should pay Jo Koy for advertising ..That cookie tin can, that's the exact can where mom keeps her sewing notions too ... 😂😆
Mine too
This is my grandma right here, saves every container, because when she sends you home with left overs she doesn’t want to send you home with her good tuber wear. 😆
When he busted out the cookie tin 😂 everyone in my family had the cookie tin sewing kit
✋
my mom had the EXACT SAME cookie tin sewing box!
My mom does this and we’re Mexican. Need to take some pozole home after a birthday party, wedding or quinceanera but have no Tupperware ??? Just grab a Neapolitan tub and you’re set with breakfast and dinner for the next day.
Culture wise, Mexican and Filipinos has a lot in common. Not a surprise because we trade a lot during the Spanish era for almost 400 years under Spanish colony (trade of Acapulco) and guess what Spanish tongue has been totally eradicated during US Colony. That's us here in the Philippines and we are brothers.
And you have to bring it back where it came from. 😉 Mom wants it back.
Im sold! 🤣Who’s mom uses pork blood container? 🙋🏻♀️
@Reyan Monasterio for cooking probably lol
We use empty hazardous needles containers obviously we wash them first
Lmaooo where is the lieeeee
Wash it and reused it.
Liver container is my dad’s favourite😂
Am I the only one who's waiting for his mom to come in asking where are her tupperwares?
🤣🤣👌🏽
🤣🤣🤣
Me too. Lol
Reminds me of that Mr Iglesias episode where he says Filipinos and Mexicans think alike, that's right Jo Koy, this was my childhood growing up where pickle jars were used for salsa
Mexican Tupperware as well. We put beans, salsa, left overs, tomato sauce. The possibilities are endless.😂😂
Yesss! I don't know why more people don't do it. Endless possibilities!!
Boston Irish here, our food sucks, boiled potatoes.Not a lot of need for storage of exotic things like "sauce"... I used to try to eat at the Italian kids' house, because they had good food.
When he broke out the oil jar, I felt personally attacked.
Bacon grease!
JoyfulMD my house has a dedicated shelf, the left half filled with those same size TOSTITOS jars🙄
I came back to rewatch for entertainment. I love this. So, relateable in my household. Nothing ever gets thrown out.
The best shit I’ve seen in a long while... FACTS, RELATABLE AND HYSTERICAL. All a kid wanted was a dang cookie, instead you find a boat load of thread and good luck locating that needle. All I wanted was a cookie.
I remember opening my Lola’s fridge. I’m looking for butter to put on pandesal, but the container I opened had old adobo. Second one had old sinigeng, finally the third container had butter.
Me: Wow! Danish cookies!
Cookie Container that has sewing materials inside: Hah! It's a prank! 😂
That becomes a sewing culture
😂😂😂 this is so true
I have one and it is a coin container 😂
My mom used one of those cookie tins to hold sewing notions too, back from in the 60s at least. It's worldwide sewing culture thing!
Same here!!!!
LOL. This was great! My mom is the "Tupperware Queen". She saves containers from all places. I think it's funny BUT she is always able to find one when she needs it.
*My mom is a filipino and every time when she pack my lunch for school, she is using ice cream Tupper ware with a logo on it.* 😁
And the daughter was amazing kind and so beautiful can have a kiss for that
My mother’s habits have carried over into my adult hood. Im dyinggg 😂
Lol same😓🤣
jo koy's part filipino and that's why he called it a "filipino" tupperware thing. can we not gatekeep reusing plastic containers lol
Mabuhay JOKOY! We love you... from Philippines...
Honey this isn't just a Filipino or Asian thing I don't know who started this but even Dominicans do this. me a fifteen-year-old does this because of my grandma.
He even had a "satisfied customer" call in!!! 😂🤣😂🤣😂 i love this guy!!!!!
The danish cookies sewing kit is a staple all over the world i would imagine xD
It's not just Filipinos who reuse old containers; a lot of other people do it, too. My friend from Hungary said that they would use Pringle containers as piggy banks or where they would put their pens/pencils. Not everyone in the world is as rich as the US. Reusing containers is better for the environment, too.
OMG I thought he was talking about a Mexican home lmfao that's the story of my life and a tradition I carried on to my kids lol
You're amazing! I really want to attend a show of yours someday !! Your jokes make my grandma laugh all the time .even if we are Spanish it's so relatable.
You ain't a "real" filipino if you don't have at least one of these wonderful tupperware pieces at home. Get yours now while supplies last
Hey, this is actually a brilliant idea! We should recycle stuff like this and Mother Earth will thank us for it.
