Japanese toymaker Takara Tomy unveils its new Ice Da Yo-Yo toy, which is made in collaboration with the adorable franchise Sanrio. The toy looks like a yo-yo with two layers of the toy that enables a rapid cooling process to create ice cream.
In one of the containers, kids are to place the ice cream ingredients inside including strawberries and condensed milk, for example. On the other container is where water, salt, and ice are inserted to turn into ice-cold water that is able to ultimately freeze the contents that rest on the other layer when it is all shaken together. Some of the characters of the new toy include Hello Kitty, My Melody, Cinnamoroll, and Kuromi.
