Even though the initial idea was for children to enjoy these mini collectibles, the Checkers bite-sized replicas of grocery items have created a frenzy among adult shoppers who are intrigued by the collector’s case and its items.
A TikToker by the name of Maryka (Maryka_Metdiesterkopini) has an impressive collection but is missing two Checkers minis: the shopping trolley and the Yoco card payment machine.
She is determined to complete her collection and is willing to either exchange from her many duplicates or pay.
"I only need the trolley and the Yoco machine. Here's the deal: I'm willing to pay for those two, and I have a lot of extras.
“So, if you want to swap, I'm offering four minis for one of those two items or I’ll pay if you have them," she says.

Her recyclable collector's case is filled with miniature pieces, including Tastic Rice, Jacobs Coffee, Nola Mayonnaise, All Gold Tomato Sauce, and Black Cat Peanut Butter, just to name a few.
The Checkers Little Shop mini items were introduced back in 2013 but gained popularity in 2020, and this year they have returned with a bang, featuring an even larger collection of 44 items made from 100% recycled plastic, captivating consumers once again.
They now come with interactive features, such as rubbing the air fryer to see the displayed cooking temperature and rubbing the orange box for a citrus aroma.
These miniature pieces are not just thrilling for the little ones, but are also captivating their parents. As social media continues to fuel this trend, the thrill of hunting for the complete set only grows.
