The sticks are remarkably similiar to the inhaler sticks we have in Europe for when we have a cold/congestion. I'm surprised they're being sold as something entirely different...
I use them all the.time, Absolutely love them! Vicks in general lol. But for some.reason I hide them in the cat because I feel it makes me look like I'm huffing something VERY different 😂
The Vick's inhalers are great! If you want a a real 'Boom, Boom' experience, buy a Vicks inhaler made in SE Asia. For some reason, they're stronger (this is more of a cautionary tale; I was crying in pain after using one).
My son is a stroke survivor and I have been buying stretchy shoe laces for years now, mainly from Amazon. What I like about these are that they look exactly like regular laces.... so I will be picking up a few pairs for him to try!
I LOVE paint by numbers. The trick is to get a really nice set of brushes and snip the paints apart so you're only working with one little pot. I always stir my pots with a toothpick. And, I bought a table top easel to make it easier to sit and paint at. I hope you get more!
14:50 Instead of spending money on a new single-purpose gadget, just use an ice cube tray and toothpicks. As a kid, we did this with chocolate milk to make "fudge pops", but it would be the perfect size for the frozen face mask. Then you can have a bunch in the freezer ready to go!
I feel the banana phone was only echoing because you were holding it a meter away from your ear HAHAHA 🤣 I’m so confused as to why you didn’t put it on your ear 🤣🤣 you don’t hold your normal mobile that far from your ear!!
The inhaler stick thing will completely screw with your sinuses and lining of your nostrils. The quote of the video: “Gum gives you a zippy feeling?” 😂 Priceless.
My mom has bought some of the products you proved to be unworthy... And I'm like "Mom, you should ask me before you buy something, Rach tested these already."😂
Hey Rach! I just looked up the boom boom stick and I don’t believe they make the “energy” one anymore. Their claims now tend to be geared to opening nasal passages and “clear focus” and “lift mood”. But as someone else said, Vicks Vapor sticks are my go to, but it’s nice to see something similar!
A couple years ago my son had bought at the gas station something identical to the boom boom stick and he also got the peppermint one and I tell you those are better than the Vicks ones when you are sick so they may not change your mood but they sure are powerful for a stuffed up nose.
I love elastic laces, I have fibromyalgia and they make shoes and boots so much more comfy. And when I got a pair of Vans that rubbed my heel, I swapped to elastic laces and it stopped the rubbing too. My partner slips his shoes on and off like Chris does and after swapping his laces out for elastic ones he finds it easier to get them on and off, plus it stops the heel of the shoes getting ruined as he's not forcing his foot in and squashing the back of the shoe.
I've not had much luck with those inhalers working for congestion (though there are proper medicated ones that are great, but not sold in the US anymore due to idiots using them for other purposes), and zero luck with the "energy" ones, but there are blends of scents to help nausea that are pure gold! I managed 4 flights without getting sick once, which is nothing short of a miracle 😅
I have suggest you try a product that I am obsessed with right now. Marigold Salve is a skin company started by a nurse in Bend, OR. I have tried all of her products and they are all excellent, but there is one is particular that has changed my skin and I can't get enough of. It's called Radiant Face Oil and is made of organic cold pressed oils like Cucumber Seed, Rose Hip, Jojoba, Watermelon Seed, Raspberry Seed, Prickly Pear Seed, & Sea Buckthorn Seed. It smells heavenly and I think you would like it a lot. I would love to see you review it! It can be used alone or added to moisturizer.
I highly recommend stretch laces! I have arthritis and my hands hurt often. Now I just pop my sneakers on! Also great for pregnancy when we can’t reach or see our feet anymore!❤
We (Newfoundland, Canada) had vicks inhalers when we were young... they got banned in schools .... peppermint is good for headaches, so it may be beneficial there maybe
15:15 you really missed an opportunity to insert a clip from friends, where Ross and Chandler are making instant coffee and Chandler reads the directions while stirring the coffee vigorously: “never let it set, keep stirring”
Y did I click the video, and say Out loud, Hey Rach!! 😊😂. I know that she said that her family family call her Chel, but I figured that as a YT family member from way back before Julia was born, I’ll call her Rach…… I guess😂😂😅
Why did I instantly think of Banana Mobile from the movie Single by contract (Für die Deutschen hier: Groupies bleiben nicht zum Frühstück) when seeing this banana phone 🤣
Those Boom Boom sticks are very similar to Vicks sticks that are used as a decongestant. They are AMAZING and I have thm in every room of my house. And they're only $5 each.
The boom boom sticks might be good for pregnancy nausea/migrains! I used to have to carry a bottle of peppermint oil in my purse to dab some below my nose throughout the day, but it was so nerve-wracking to worry about oil leaking in my nice bags all the time! 😅 the solid stick would be nice
James from Freakin’ Reviews did the banana phone in his banana gadgets video a few weeks ago. He said the same thing. As for the laces, the idea is good, but the heel crushing to put your shoes on without untying remains the same. However, being able to snugly tie your shoes and still have give when your feet swell is nice.
The sticks that you sick up your nose, my grandma always had one of those things on her at all times. It was really minty, and reminded me of Vicks. She loved it, and it always seemed to clear her sinuses.
I don't know if its the same company but my sister in law loves those paint by numbers. She has done multiple of the personalized one with various photos and they all look so good!!
I have the Boom Boom stick. Had no idea it was a Shark Tank thing. I bought it at Walgreens because I had a cold and I thought it was one of those sticks for helping with nasal congestion. 🤷🏻♀
Could you possibly start linking your nail polish in the description? Or leaving the name of the color and brand? J always love your nails in your vids
Michaels in the States has a paint by numbers kit as well but they have huge canvases and the paint quality is really really good they're only like 10 bucks and it also comes with wood framing so that you can hang the painting.
For the Boom Boom a warning I have is look at the ingredients if you have pets around. Be careful because mint in some forms are poisonous to cats. I’m unsure about dogs.
I don't get how the "Paint by numbers" thing was on Shark Tank? I'm 51 and those kits already existed when I was little. Same with the inhaler... Vicks has had one for as long as I remember so nothing new there either.
I have the same issue with my hands shaking, especially when I try to do anything detailed. My mom did some beautiful paint by numbers many years ago and I always look longingly at them, but I have regretfully accepted that this isn't something I can do.
I literally just introduced my three year old nephew to “Bananaphone,” and now I am going to OFFICIALLY win the “Coolest Aunt Ever” award! Bless you, dear woman! 🍌
The sticks remind me of the vapor rub inhalation sticks that have been around since gosh. Idk.. but i had a creepy teacher in the 80s that constantly used one.
06:02 We have something similar where I'm from, and I can't live without it during allergy season. Saved me so many times, especially at night. Edit: doesn't give me energy, let's me breath though 😅
Christopher: “Are you filming my feet? Are we making a change in channel direction?” 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I died.
The sticks are remarkably similiar to the inhaler sticks we have in Europe for when we have a cold/congestion. I'm surprised they're being sold as something entirely different...
This. They are just like the vicks vapor sticks or the olbas ones (both UK ones)
I’ll stick to the price of the Vicks vapour one also haha
And they have existed for decades.
👏🏻 Yes - I was about the write exactly the same thing.
OMG i just checked the price. 45$ for 3?!!!!!! I can buy one for under 2€ here (Slovakia).
GUYS! Chris could smell the Boom Boom stick! He could smell it!
hahaha
We were all dying to know the moment we know it was sniffy
"Are we making a change in channel direction?" 😂😂😂 I love how you two bring out the funny in each other ❤❤
Vicks vapor rub has had those nasal sticks for forever now. My go to! And very cheap
I use them all the.time, Absolutely love them! Vicks in general lol. But for some.reason I hide them in the cat because I feel it makes me look like I'm huffing something VERY different 😂
The Vick's inhalers are great! If you want a a real 'Boom, Boom' experience, buy a Vicks inhaler made in SE Asia. For some reason, they're stronger (this is more of a cautionary tale; I was crying in pain after using one).
I literally love everytime you randomly approach Chris to try stuff seemingly out of the blue haahah hes just so chill its such a vibe
Holding that banana so far from your face could account for some of the echo situation. I enjoyed that product 😂
"Lowercase smelling salts" had me rolling
"It doesnt affect my emotions" best Chris line ever. I need a shirt that says this.
In a way, it would make more sense for the kids' canvases to be on the larger end for the exact reason they came across with the leaves.
Christopher “it doesn’t effect my emotions” 😂😂
My son is a stroke survivor and I have been buying stretchy shoe laces for years now, mainly from Amazon. What I like about these are that they look exactly like regular laces.... so I will be picking up a few pairs for him to try!
I LOVE paint by numbers. The trick is to get a really nice set of brushes and snip the paints apart so you're only working with one little pot. I always stir my pots with a toothpick. And, I bought a table top easel to make it easier to sit and paint at. I hope you get more!
Try the banana again and hold it to your face. Phone receivers have to be held up to face. I'm curious to know if it'd work better.
That made we weirdly mad that she didn’t use it properly 😂
Same, lol.
14:50 Instead of spending money on a new single-purpose gadget, just use an ice cube tray and toothpicks. As a kid, we did this with chocolate milk to make "fudge pops", but it would be the perfect size for the frozen face mask. Then you can have a bunch in the freezer ready to go!
Putting frozen stuff on your face can be irritating, but if you want to try it any ice cube tray definitely works.
I feel the banana phone was only echoing because you were holding it a meter away from your ear HAHAHA 🤣 I’m so confused as to why you didn’t put it on your ear 🤣🤣 you don’t hold your normal mobile that far from your ear!!
The inhaler stick thing will completely screw with your sinuses and lining of your nostrils. The quote of the video: “Gum gives you a zippy feeling?” 😂 Priceless.
Please try the Long Table pancakes from shark tank! They’re apparently popcorn flour pancakes and I’m so curious if it’s decent
My mom has bought some of the products you proved to be unworthy... And I'm like "Mom, you should ask me before you buy something, Rach tested these already."😂
I'd love you see what your garage sale would look like. You are the best!
Are we at the age where paint by number is new to people?
I always laugh how stuff from my childhood in 1960s is suddenly new 😆
This one is supposed to be more detailed and intricate with the gradients and stuff.
Hey Rach! I just looked up the boom boom stick and I don’t believe they make the “energy” one anymore. Their claims now tend to be geared to opening nasal passages and “clear focus” and “lift mood”. But as someone else said, Vicks Vapor sticks are my go to, but it’s nice to see something similar!
A couple years ago my son had bought at the gas station something identical to the boom boom stick and he also got the peppermint one and I tell you those are better than the Vicks ones when you are sick so they may not change your mood but they sure are powerful for a stuffed up nose.
Chris cracks me up 😂 "It doesn't affect my emotions" with the straightest face 😅
Did he say “lower case smelling salts”???
Hello from Estonia! Just found you a couple of days ago and have really enjoyed your content ❤
I love elastic laces, I have fibromyalgia and they make shoes and boots so much more comfy. And when I got a pair of Vans that rubbed my heel, I swapped to elastic laces and it stopped the rubbing too. My partner slips his shoes on and off like Chris does and after swapping his laces out for elastic ones he finds it easier to get them on and off, plus it stops the heel of the shoes getting ruined as he's not forcing his foot in and squashing the back of the shoe.

I managed 4 flights without getting sick once, which is nothing short of a miracle 😅
Chris’ deadpan personality is such a contrast to Rach. I’m glad she understands him because he would make me cry lol
Go from singing “na, na, na banana phone!” To “na, na, na banana mask!”
"I can smell it," lol. "It doesn't affect my emotions" Chris is the best! I love his reactions to things 😂 hilarious!!
I love how unbelievably honest Chris is; and hilarious.
The candle warmer in the background is so cozy! 😊
I have inflammatory arthritis and elastic shoe laces/stretchy laces have been so amazing for me.
Can you please take more shots from a top camera because we can’t see when you open the products or when you do stuff on the desk .. thanks
Chris’s commentary makes your already amazing videos somehow even better. Also his t shirt collection is hilarious 😂
I have the banana phone! I'm listening to Rachel on my banana right now!!
lol, worlds are colliding-I know one of the Banana Phone guys 😝
These were definitely some interesting products. Thank you for this video
Banana phone really missed an oportunity with the ring tone..
I have suggest you try a product that I am obsessed with right now. Marigold Salve is a skin company started by a nurse in Bend, OR.

I would love to watch you review Sistaco nails!
Yes would like to see her review on those as I’m curious to see what they actually like as would like to know are they worth it.
I highly recommend stretch laces! I have arthritis and my hands hurt often. Now I just pop my sneakers on! Also great for pregnancy when we can’t reach or see our feet anymore!❤
We (Newfoundland, Canada) had vicks inhalers when we were young... they got banned in schools .... peppermint is good for headaches, so it may be beneficial there maybe
I have a running list of recommendations from you! Can’t wait to see what I can add 😂
I found a type of the banana phone in the $5 bin at Target around Christmas. I bought one for my son and he loves it.
You should buy some of the cheapy 1$ craft acrylics to use , just number them with the number on the little paint pots
15:15 you really missed an opportunity to insert a clip from friends, where Ross and Chandler are making instant coffee and Chandler reads the directions while stirring the coffee vigorously: “never let it set, keep stirring”
I fell asleep while watching this video and had a dream about the banana phone😂rewatching this now❤
Y did I click the video, and say Out loud, Hey Rach!! 😊😂. I know that she said that her family family call her Chel, but I figured that as a YT family member from way back before Julia was born, I’ll call her Rach…… I guess😂😂😅
My 3 year old daughter has been pretending bananas are phones for a couple of months. It cracked me up to see an actual banana phone!
It doesn’t change my emotions 😂😂 best quote by Chris to this day
Never heard of a boom boom stick. It looks like a knock off of the vicks inhaler which works really well for those with congestion/stuffy noses
Why did I instantly think of Banana Mobile from the movie Single by contract (Für die Deutschen hier: Groupies bleiben nicht zum Frühstück) when seeing this banana phone 🤣
those elastic shoelaces have been around for a long time
Yeah so weird that they went on shark tank I don’t get it
Girl your ponytail was out of control in this video. Hahahaha😂
Those Boom Boom sticks are very similar to Vicks sticks that are used as a decongestant. They are AMAZING and I have thm in every room of my house. And they're only $5 each.
The paint by numbers are so cute!
does North America not have Vicks Vapour sticks??? that sounds exactly like the boomboom sticks
I live in Canada and we’ve had the Vicks sticks for as long as I can remember. I remember them in the 70’s.
Thank you christopher! I could not remember the name smelling salts! It was driving me crazy! Hi from Tn ❤
The boom boom sticks might be good for pregnancy nausea/migrains! I used to have to carry a bottle of peppermint oil in my purse to dab some below my nose throughout the day, but it was so nerve-wracking to worry about oil leaking in my nice bags all the time! 😅 the solid stick would be nice
I love the Vicks sticks I just used it last night lol 😂
Vicks vapour has had one for years , same design just with Vicks on it .
The second item reminds me of the Vics version of that.
Lower case smelling salts 😂
Vicks has been making those nose inhalers for decades and decades
Sam thing as Vicks Call stick. For sinus congestion!
I need to know where this sweater is from!!! You wore it an another video and I am obsessed.
James from Freakin’ Reviews did the banana phone in his banana gadgets video a few weeks ago. He said the same thing.
As for the laces, the idea is good, but the heel crushing to put your shoes on without untying remains the same. However, being able to snugly tie your shoes and still have give when your feet swell is nice.
Me, a ✨Queeeer✨ : “boom boom stick”… you mean, a Popper?? 😂
I think those paint by numbers look best when the design is a bit more abstract
The sticks that you sick up your nose, my grandma always had one of those things on her at all times. It was really minty, and reminded me of Vicks. She loved it, and it always seemed to clear her sinuses.
For the really tiny numbers you can use a toothpick
I don't know if its the same company but my sister in law loves those paint by numbers. She has done multiple of the personalized one with various photos and they all look so good!!
I have the Boom Boom stick. Had no idea it was a Shark Tank thing. I bought it at Walgreens because I had a cold and I thought it was one of those sticks for helping with nasal congestion. 🤷🏻♀

Pop some aloe in those face Popsicles for sunburn that will feel sooooooo good
For the Boom Boom a warning I have is look at the ingredients if you have pets around. Be careful because mint in some forms are poisonous to cats. I’m unsure about dogs.
Strange how the first products are already used in Belgium some even for years like the painting (and done better)
You look very pretty in the light pink look. Makeup and shirt.
Inhaler sticks are exist since i was a child like 30 years+ in switzerland. For if your being sick😅
Soooo boom boom stick is like an altoid lol
Hi Rach, where is your hoodie from in what color is it? Very pretty on you
I’ve been waiting to see what the mask was about (last video) not disappointed 😂
Anyone else watch these videos in 1.5 speed…? Just me?😂
I don't get how the "Paint by numbers" thing was on Shark Tank? I'm 51 and those kits already existed when I was little.
Same with the inhaler... Vicks has had one for as long as I remember so nothing new there either.
I would need a huge nose inhaler to give me energy! Your husband is hilarious!!!!
The laces are not a new idea. I’ve been using them for years bc I like to slip my sneakers on. Tons of options on Amazon.
I have the same issue with my hands shaking, especially when I try to do anything detailed. My mom did some beautiful paint by numbers many years ago and I always look longingly at them, but I have regretfully accepted that this isn't something I can do.
I literally just introduced my three year old nephew to “Bananaphone,” and now I am going to OFFICIALLY win the “Coolest Aunt Ever” award! Bless you, dear woman! 🍌
I’m curious if those Boom Boom sticks are safe for pregnancy because peppermint is a great natural attempted remedy for nausea.
The sticks are great for fatigue on long drives to wake you up
Lowercase smelling salts 😂
Hee hee I seen you with this on trying to remove the mascarra…lol
Where is your sweater from? It’s gorgeous!
The sticks remind me of the vapor rub inhalation sticks that have been around since gosh. Idk.. but i had a creepy teacher in the 80s that constantly used one.
Those boom boom sticks are just vick vapor inhalers
I’m 27 now but I vividly remember kids in highschool using the boom booms. It was their version of the vape in highschool 😂
06:02
We have something similar where I'm from, and I can't live without it during allergy season. Saved me so many times, especially at night.
Edit: doesn't give me energy, let's me breath though 😅
