I have a lot of sun damage on my left arm from driving with the window open and my arm hanging out for 40 years. The arm covers actually work and keep my arms from getting burnt or torn up when I work in my yard. They actually work well for me. I did buy mine from Amazon though. I can finally work in my garden without long sleeves!
I’ve always had silk (100% real) thermals, socks and gloves for all outdoor activities in the winter. I never knew they could be used to stay cool. I’ve silk nightgowns that I don’t sweat in so it makes sense. The non silk has me sweating like a sinner in church! 😂 Cheers for the reviews from Belfast area 💚🍀
And dont push the tool in, that destroys the grip it gets into the fruit/veg, you push the tip in and then work the spiral part in by twirling the tool.
It's hard to see but I think the line in the cube tray is a latch to help keep the tray together, not a fill line. From other products I've seen like this you fill the tray partially full, close it, then fill the top slightly.
My husband drives a semi and gets a lot of sun on his left arm through the drivers side window causing sensitivity to the sun on that arm, so about a year ago I found these and bought him a few. He loves them. He only needs them for the left arm, so he can switch them out when needed. Also some of the places that he has to pick up or drop off requires long sleeves and this is a good solution to not have to go and change your shirt just to check in.
I have 2 pair of leggings that are absolutely hair/fuzz magnets. They were cheap ones like $3 a pair in black Friday. Lol. We wear them under jeans in winter for warmth lol but they are awful

I would think the steering wheel cover will work better when put on before the wheel is hot, because putting it on when the wheel is already got well... The cover is going to act as more of an insulator. It's doing anything to actively cool things.
I'm an optometrist, and the sunglasses looked like it is a pair of "fit over". They are supposed to fit over your normal pair of glasses. Also, you can check the polarization with another pair of polarized sunglasses. One pair in front of the other and move them like a pair of siccors. That is a much more accurate test. If they are both polarized, they will close out all light when you move them. Hope it make sense. Love your content.
If I’m correct, cheap sunglasses can also be a risk for uv damage to the eyes. The darkness makes your pupils open wider, and if they’re not UV filtered, it’s actually more dangerous than no sunglasses at all.
If you dont have polarized glasses how do you test them in the shop? Curious. Also how to tell tween the ones with polarizing film and the lenses with the polrizing inside them?
I do a lot of weeding jobs for customers, but often end up with poison ivy on my arms without realizing that there is poison ivy in their gardens.

The sleeves are brilliant and were going for 7p last week! Basically, they are stockings for arms, and I find them brilliant in the winter as they make a huge difference under my coat. Love them! x
Don't buy those from Temu.. Amazon has good ones for not much money. I buy some the come with 3 pairs in the bag. The are very thin and very stretchy. I am 6'3" tall and have LONG arms. They stretch enough to fit even my arms. They are very effective as sun protection. I had most of the melanin scraped away from both arms in a bicycle accident years ago. I've worn these sleeves every bike ride since and have never had the slightest sunburn (or even a tan) and I am sometimes out riding 4-6 per day 4 to 7 days in a row.
I have brand name fur zappers and they ONLY work in my dryer, not the washer. I bet those knock offs would work in the dryer instead of the washer. They aren't sticky when wet.

The stretch lids if you look at the circles on the lids that shows how big of a diameter of bowl or whatever you are trying to cover it fits. The smallest one will fit the coke can and soup cans and some smaller bowls. The larger lid will fit many larger bowls. I have a set I love it.

Sometime times I have nails and sometimes not so opening a pop top can be “interesting”! I found that a soup spoon from my regular utensil set works perfectly to open a pop top! Ans it really works well for people with hand issues (like older people, etc.). And it’s not a piece of cheap plastic!
@@anubizz3 Misleading, as the lead is sealed away in the cup behind stainless steel. None of the parts of the cup that come into contact with you or your liquids contain lead.
@@knightwolf3511Do you understand what "shill" means? Because I don't think you do. A shill is someone who promotes and defends a company, like you are doing for Stanley right now.
@@WTM.23 Do you? Y'know, kinda helps to fill in that part, and not just make claims. It was the wrong angle; The ring holder was too high up, so he ended up basically stabbing the fruit. But this is based on the pictures, it could still be very much crap at that price.
@@thorbre577 You hold it the other way around. Think of giving a thumbs up and tilting your thumb back towards you. The blade needs to be pointing towards you. The ring is to help hold it this way. I havent had any issue using mine this way.
Skin cancer researcher here! Those arm sleeves are a good form of sun protection. They're handy for driving because driving is really sneaky and easy time for burning your skin, or at the very least accruing a lot of UV radiation damage. I will say though, they will only slow down/ reduce the amount of UV radiation you are exposed to, so if you're wearing them and are outdoors for an extended period of time, you can still get burnt. So don't forget to wear sunscreen, even under these, and seek shade.
1. Stretch lids - I have a set, and not ashamed of them. Pretty sure I got mine from Temu & I think you just need to not fear the stretch. I think the Smallest lid would have covered the Coke cans and most of the soup cans. The one thing I learned once I got mine is, I have not needed a lid since. They are like reusable Cling wrap. All the rest are pretty much wasted plastic, silicone, or rubber.
That spiralizer reminds me of school 22:15 when you are given a cheap pencil sharpener or those no name cheap pencils and you try to sharpen it, but it breaks, and then the shavings powderize instead of making curls.
I had one that looked somewhat like what he tried, but I never used it like he did. Just drive it around with your index finger in the loop. Maybe there's a quality issue
Covering your arms from sunlight is good. The trick with those sleeves is if you're sweating they multiply your surface area by about 6 on your arms from a cooling standpoint and they keep excessive sweat from just dripping off. Its a very good idea. Down here the lawn guys use cheap hoodies for coverage.
My experience, for what it's worth: about 29 items from temu late last year, returned 7, could have returned a couple more, not because they didn't work, I just didn't have a use. The thing I was most impressed with was their return policy, it was totally seamless, just don't lose the barcode, piece of cake
The glasses, I think it's important to mention, you'd really want to have some certification. Having them widen your pupils due to the shading, but letting through invisible UV light unimpeded makes for a great f-ing up your retina speedrun
You know how they say the glasses are polarized when they are not in fact polarized, because that's cheaper to make? Keep this in mind every time you buy "food-safe" plastic from shady stores like Temu. It's way cheaper to produce plastic that poisons you.
I clicked on Temu once ( never bought anything ) now I get an email or three everyday. I think the wine stopper would work good on a vinegar bottle when slow is a good thing. Gadgets are just that, sometimes they work and sometimes they don't.
For the pancake flipper, I think you're supposed to pinch them together when doing the first flip. Then the second flip, you use them like you did in the video 😁
The can silicone covers are something i use almost every day since im a regular soda/energy drinker and sometimes don't finish my drinks in one sitting. The lid will stay on if you're careful not to shake the can at all when you put em back or use it on soda cans that are only about half full. Also helps if the soda can is still cold when you put the lid on and put it on the fridge (cold soda expels CO2 at a slower rate). I use them in conjunction with a steel vacuum can cooler to keep the can cold.
Put a long spoon handle, spoon end up, through the hole on the egg separator handle. Hange the spoon handle off the edge of the counter. Now you have an anchor to keep the separator on the bowl. I hope that makes sense.
the reason the spiralizer has the SCREW threads is that it supposed to pull itself through the fruit/vegetable and the blade will cut it at same size. i have had a "real one" with my knives and its a plastic screw part with a metal knife part...
The lime green spiral cutter you used on the cucumber give that a redo, cut end off cucumber press in till the threads start touching, screw into cucumber insert finger at the other end start a spinning/screwing till the end. I've had a metal one and plastic over the years. Potatoes cucumbers are easiest. Maybe a zucchini.
I do have some of these items from Temu, I just opened another package I just got while watching this one, I paused at 19:45 at the spiralizer, my wife loves that thing, you put a finger in the circle and just spin it around, she uses it on potatoes and it works amazing. 👋🤠 P.S. it is meant to make the slices thin, you do not have to press hard like he did, with a finger, you turn it and the threads do the work for you.
He pushed it all in at first, so there were no 'threads' to speak of. After that, he just instantly starting pushing it down, so again, he would gouge the inside out the entire time. That being said, I'm not sure I would trust that plastic to have contact with food. The design itself certainly works (he just used it wrong), but the material may not be a good idea to use with things that may contain acids or alkali.
my problem with the silk sleeves is that they may not be UV resistant, they may still let in quite a bit of UV rays so you could still end up getting sunburnt through the sleeves
The can covers are great if you have cats that regularly knock your things over. I even have the bottle covers. I will warn you, though, if it sits too long, it will build up pressure and shoot right off! 😂
I'm glad I'm willing and capable of teaching my cats. They've knocked over 1 drink in their lives. They don't get on surfaces that come in contact with food and drinks either.
I use those little plastic solo lids on my cans. You know, the ones you get To Go dressings and such in? They don’t grip so they will spill, but if you take the tab off the can, they fit nicely enough that the carbonation stays. It’s perfect for the fridge. Yes, also keeps the bugs out if you’re outdoors.
I used to use a clean Dominos garlic dipping sauce container to seal my pop can while I was fishing to keep out the red ants after one bit my lip. It snaps on like it was made for it
The wine bottle stopper has been on sale since the beginning of the 1960s since plastics became available. Grandma had an assortment of them as well as ones that you could plug into like oranges and lemons to get the juice out of them.
I just saw a documentary on how the army teaches its soldiers how to cook. One of the instructors said some of them don't even know how to turn on a stove. I use to have a spiraling but it was metal and did a nice job on all but the hardest vegetables.
@@hopefletcher7420 I still have the metal one and use it on potatoes to make fried potatoes. It makes thin, even spirals. I love it. The one James used looks cheap and dull.
16:17 I sometimes don't finish a whole can of coke zero but I would end up throwing it as I hate flat fizzy drinks. Recently I tried usi g tape to cover the hole of the can. It stayed more fizzy and was nicely drinkable the next day.
I so appreciate how u seriously go all out for ur reviews to give real world scenarios whenever possible. The way u splashed in the muddy puddle for instance. Love ur channel & hugs to Bailey too❣️❣️❣️
That's interesting! It seems like it should work in theory, but I've never found that they worked. I used my original Fur Zapper until it fell apart, and not once did I think, "Oh it really got all the hair off this time!"
@@FreakinreviewsI had thought that you just use them to dab on the clothes and pick the hair up. I didn’t realise you got them wet and when you said you wash with them, I thought G will that stop the stick in this working. (Stickiness)
I'm the exception that proves the rule with Temu, I guess. I've purchased a sweater, a purse, and a set of tote bags, and all are top quality. No CC issues, either, which I can't say for either PayPal or Amazon. I think ordering online is always going to be a crapshoot.
Hi 👋 I enjoyed your video. Just thought I would tell you about something I learned recently about Temu. I’m in the UK and channel 4 dispatches recently made a programme about some Temu products. They bought a variety of different items from Temu and tested them in a professional lab. They found that many of the products had crazy high levels of dangerous chemicals and heavy metals including in the water bottle and children’s jacket. I don’t have a link to the show unfortunately but I thought you might be interested if you can access it. P.s. the spiralizer you tried might deserve a retest. You put your finger in the whole and spin your wrist while holding the cucumber upright. It turns without putting too much pressure on it. Maybe the Temu one doesn’t work but I do know some of the Amazon ones that look really similar do work pretty well. Thanks for the video
Those sunglasses would be great at the dentist to block their bright light and keep the bits they fling all over off your regular glasses. Rather than wearing heavy shirts with sleeves or using those things, get some hiking shirts from a store like REI, they have super light weight breathable shirts that offer sun protection as well so you have long sleeves but they're made for summer.
The steering wheel cover is pretty useless, when there's already full windshield covers which do pretty much the same job, and keep the interior cooler.
I have one of those round ball ice cube trays. As far as I can tell that marker isn't a "fill line," it's just a thing to help the top half snap into the bottom half. I'm a big fan of the ice that I get out of mine, and I also use a larger tray with smaller spheres. A good way to figure out how much water to put in is to measure how much water goes in to fill the dents, then double it, and then you get a good idea of how much water to add in, but it's easier to just overfill it a little and then pour out the excess (or let the excess freeze on the top half so you also get some crushed ice).
4:53 this seems like it would honestly work best to combine the two pieces and submerge it all underwater to fill it and make sure all the air bubbles are out then freeze. I feel like if you do it this way there won’t be those nasty looking edges on it like there is now.
The steering wheel cover wasn't a valid test since you started out with a hot steering wheel and the cover only trapped the heat in. You needed to start with a cool steering wheel and see if the cover kept it from getting hot. The spatula is for eggs with no broken yolks that you need to flip and not break the yolk. My mother bought one in the 70s which I have now and just used last night. It works great for what it was made for which was flipping eggs with an unbroken yolk.
9:14. American eggs seem different than Scandinavian eggs. Using the same tool on Scandinavian egg works great. The egg yolk separates eysli from the white.
It's weird, i live in Wyoming and the only bugs that try to get in people's soda cans are bees, wasps, hornets, etc. That is definitely a bit more terrifying to go really a drink of your soda and have no idea a stinging creature is inside it. I think that tab would work great for keeping them out even though it doesn't snap
This randomly popped up my feed, and I did not know that I needed this, but I'm here for it. Your humor is much needed in that nerdy way! I love it. You had a bit of Denzel W. swag in that walk when wearing the sleeves 😂 Subbed 😊
With the ice cube trays and any food-related products, I'd be concerned that the plastic is made with lead and other toxic substances since there's no safety regulations over there.
I uave multiple of these, in various sizes, all the way up to ones that make D20 shaped cubes the size of a billards ball, ALL work the same way, you fill it through the hole to actually make the shape.
Those ones are designed to be filled from the top. These smaller ones aren't. I can only imagine how long it would take to fill this one from the top. We had some when I was a child (25ish years ago) and the written instructions actually said to fill and press. Granted, it also said how much liquid was required so it didn't squirt out the top at force
The Soda Topper thing is only good if you can backhand the soda it covers off the counter, and it doesn't pop off and send coke flying when it hits the floor. That's extreme, though, maybe lightly knock it on its side and leave it like that for 10 minutes. Otherwise, it's not superb for children's parties, much less their rooms... Also, the whole plastic stuff from Temo for humans to fix to the top of their soda cans kind of means the rest of what I said was redundant, because you don't want to have that plastic touch any of your orifices, or swallow part of it. 10/10 I know what I'm doing for Christmas.
As far as the "Grip n Flip". I think it would be good for an omelet, a sandwich which you are toasting in a pan, quesadilla, etc. Something you need to keep together while turning. I would have never thought to use it for an egg or pancake. Hmm. I'd buy it. The others I might try are the stretch lids and, for use in my storm cellar for my cot, the travel pillow. (I like to be prepared to get stuck down there for awhile, or if my house blows away, I'll have things to live down there. 😉
I have a similar pair I use for gardening - the little hairs on squash plants give me a rash, so when I'm harvesting or cutting back I stick them on. Not so much for cooling, though.
@kathykrisko3228 I have 2 thicker arm sleeves that are printed with "do not draw blood or take blood pressure on this arm" from the hospital lol. I had skin grafts and some some bumps removed from one arm they constantly wanted to use it for pressure and blood and the so one nurse grabbed a sleeve. I too them home and use then inside out to keep my arms from getting all scratched while I'm berry picking. I have several spots of wild black raspberries and they have big thorns. My wild blackberries do too. It's cooler than wearing a long sleeved shirt yet still protects my arms. Now if you had old t-shirts you don't wear you could easily make tubes for sleeves
Been using the ice cube tray for over a year, for wine cubes. Works great and can't beat the price. The bowl lids have held up also. You might want try out the counterfeit apple ear buds! They were a big surprise, because they worked. I normally don't use ear buds, unless I'm traveling, so a $3 pair is perfect. Temu isn't known for its high quality, but definitely has a lot of items that do the job. As for 'made in China', well if I went to the local box store, their version would be made there too! BTW If you get something damaged or you want to send back, they are easier and quicker than most stores are!
The stretchy lid covers I use all the time to cover bowls, pots and cans in general. The small one does fit dog food cans and cans in general, why didn't you try it on the other cans. You just put it on the red bull can.
Good luck with those sunglasses in Vegas! Hope you suffer no eye damage!And forget those cooling sleeves. Try Coolibar sleeves (hold your breath at the cost)to protect from sun damage! Great review and video!

Sometime times I have nails and sometimes not so opening a pop top can be “interesting”! I found that a soup spoon from my regular utensil set works perfectly to open a pop top! Ans it really works well for people with hand issues (like older people, etc.). And it’s not a piece of cheap plastic!
Cheap plastic items from Temu that come in contact with your food? You are a braver man than I. 😆
Plenty of American brave enough to drink from Stanley cup that contain lead.
@@anubizz3 look a shill
@@anubizz3 Misleading, as the lead is sealed away in the cup behind stainless steel. None of the parts of the cup that come into contact with you or your liquids contain lead.
@@__aceofspades yeah 1 drop or manufacture defects all it takes to mix that lead with your drink.
@@knightwolf3511Do you understand what "shill" means? Because I don't think you do. A shill is someone who promotes and defends a company, like you are doing for Stanley right now.
A peeler that doesn’t peel. How unapeeling.
He just doent know how to use it properly
@@WTM.23 Do you? Y'know, kinda helps to fill in that part, and not just make claims.
It was the wrong angle; The ring holder was too high up, so he ended up basically stabbing the fruit. But this is based on the pictures, it could still be very much crap at that price.
@@WTM.23yes! He was just pushing it into the fruit. When you peel things normally you pull the peeler toward you and the angle is totally different.
@@thorbre577 You hold it the other way around. Think of giving a thumbs up and tilting your thumb back towards you. The blade needs to be pointing towards you. The ring is to help hold it this way. I havent had any issue using mine this way.
@@HedgieEirulf Aaaah, I see what you mean. That makes perfect sense.
EGG SEPERATER....A SLOTTED SPOON that is already in your kitchen for cooking.
Or, ya know, just use your hands or the shell itself.
Skin cancer researcher here! Those arm sleeves are a good form of sun protection. They're handy for driving because driving is really sneaky and easy time for burning your skin, or at the very least accruing a lot of UV radiation damage.
I will say though, they will only slow down/ reduce the amount of UV radiation you are exposed to, so if you're wearing them and are outdoors for an extended period of time, you can still get burnt. So don't forget to wear sunscreen, even under these, and seek shade.
1. Stretch lids - I have a set, and not ashamed of them. Pretty sure I got mine from Temu & I think you just need to not fear the stretch. I think the Smallest lid would have covered the Coke cans and most of the soup cans. The one thing I learned once I got mine is, I have not needed a lid since. They are like reusable Cling wrap.
All the rest are pretty much wasted plastic, silicone, or rubber.
Usually you can always find a package of these at the Dollar Tree as well
That spiralizer reminds me of school 22:15 when you are given a cheap pencil sharpener or those no name cheap pencils and you try to sharpen it, but it breaks, and then the shavings powderize instead of making curls.
I had one that looked somewhat like what he tried, but I never used it like he did. Just drive it around with your index finger in the loop. Maybe there's a quality issue
Ironically that ice cube tray was better than most you have reviewed.
The same model came with the fridge.
Covering your arms from sunlight is good. The trick with those sleeves is if you're sweating they multiply your surface area by about 6 on your arms from a cooling standpoint and they keep excessive sweat from just dripping off. Its a very good idea. Down here the lawn guys use cheap hoodies for coverage.
"It can't be this bad!" Yes, it can, lol. Thanks for the entertaining content, man.
My experience, for what it's worth: about 29 items from temu late last year, returned 7, could have returned a couple more, not because they didn't work, I just didn't have a use. The thing I was most impressed with was their return policy, it was totally seamless, just don't lose the barcode, piece of cake
The glasses, I think it's important to mention, you'd really want to have some certification. Having them widen your pupils due to the shading, but letting through invisible UV light unimpeded makes for a great f-ing up your retina speedrun
Egg separators I will never lose. They are called fingers.
You know how they say the glasses are polarized when they are not in fact polarized, because that's cheaper to make?
Keep this in mind every time you buy "food-safe" plastic from shady stores like Temu. It's way cheaper to produce plastic that poisons you.
I hadn't thought of that. 😮
I LOVE the long video format. I know it’s not something you can do often though. I fully understand the extreme level of work that went into this.
I clicked on Temu once ( never bought anything ) now I get an email or three everyday. I think the wine stopper would work good on a vinegar bottle when slow is a good thing. Gadgets are just that, sometimes they work and sometimes they don't.
For the pancake flipper, I think you're supposed to pinch them together when doing the first flip. Then the second flip, you use them like you did in the video 😁
Check those items for lead especially the ones in food contact
The can silicone covers are something i use almost every day since im a regular soda/energy drinker and sometimes don't finish my drinks in one sitting. The lid will stay on if you're careful not to shake the can at all when you put em back or use it on soda cans that are only about half full. Also helps if the soda can is still cold when you put the lid on and put it on the fridge (cold soda expels CO2 at a slower rate). I use them in conjunction with a steel vacuum can cooler to keep the can cold.
Put a long spoon handle, spoon end up, through the hole on the egg separator handle. Hange the spoon handle off the edge of the counter. Now you have an anchor to keep the separator on the bowl. I hope that makes sense.
Great tip
the reason the spiralizer has the SCREW threads is that it supposed to pull itself through the fruit/vegetable and the blade will cut it at same size. i have had a "real one" with my knives and its a plastic screw part with a metal knife part...
James “that doesn’t mean it won’t work though” White
James "we shall see" white
James "I digress" white
James "Come on, now" White.
The lime green spiral cutter you used on the cucumber give that a redo, cut end off cucumber press in till the threads start touching, screw into cucumber insert finger at the other end start a spinning/screwing till the end. I've had a metal one and plastic over the years. Potatoes cucumbers are easiest. Maybe a zucchini.
I do have some of these items from Temu, I just opened another package I just got while watching this one, I paused at 19:45 at the spiralizer, my wife loves that thing, you put a finger in the circle and just spin it around, she uses it on potatoes and it works amazing. 👋🤠 P.S. it is meant to make the slices thin, you do not have to press hard like he did, with a finger, you turn it and the threads do the work for you.
He pushed it all in at first, so there were no 'threads' to speak of. After that, he just instantly starting pushing it down, so again, he would gouge the inside out the entire time.
That being said, I'm not sure I would trust that plastic to have contact with food. The design itself certainly works (he just used it wrong), but the material may not be a good idea to use with things that may contain acids or alkali.
For the Arm Sleeves, another thing I would do is dip them in ice cold water before using, that way it can cool for a while until it dries eventually
The term "ice silk" refers to a thin, silky, polyester. It has nothing to do with cooling qualities.
my problem with the silk sleeves is that they may not be UV resistant, they may still let in quite a bit of UV rays so you could still end up getting sunburnt through the sleeves
The can covers are great if you have cats that regularly knock your things over. I even have the bottle covers. I will warn you, though, if it sits too long, it will build up pressure and shoot right off! 😂
At home entertainment!
I'm glad I'm willing and capable of teaching my cats. They've knocked over 1 drink in their lives. They don't get on surfaces that come in contact with food and drinks either.
I use those little plastic solo lids on my cans. You know, the ones you get To Go dressings and such in? They don’t grip so they will spill, but if you take the tab off the can, they fit nicely enough that the carbonation stays. It’s perfect for the fridge. Yes, also keeps the bugs out if you’re outdoors.
Your neuroticism is what I love the most. Super consistent awesome content
“It can’t be this bad. It is that bad!”🙈🙀 Reminds me of that clothing store called Hit or Miss. 😉 Thanks for testing!
I used to use a clean Dominos garlic dipping sauce container to seal my pop can while I was fishing to keep out the red ants after one bit my lip. It snaps on like it was made for it
The wine bottle stopper has been on sale since the beginning of the 1960s since plastics became available. Grandma had an assortment of them as well as ones that you could plug into like oranges and lemons to get the juice out of them.
The way he is using the spiralizer :))
Use the loop and hold the fruit
I just saw a documentary on how the army teaches its soldiers how to cook. One of the instructors said some of them don't even know how to turn on a stove. I use to have a spiraling but it was metal and did a nice job on all but the hardest vegetables.
@@hopefletcher7420
I still have the metal one and use it on potatoes to make fried potatoes. It makes thin, even spirals. I love it. The one James used looks cheap and dull.
I'm sure many people were yelling at their screen at that moment.
I don't think he could use it correctly. I think it's made so bad it only cuts if a lot of pressure is on it.
The shoe covers would be very handy for home health care workers. Many people don't want you to step into their house with your shoes on.
Weatherproof shoe covers?!?! Kids in school when I was growing up just turned up with Walmart bags on them. 😂
16:17 I sometimes don't finish a whole can of coke zero but I would end up throwing it as I hate flat fizzy drinks. Recently I tried usi g tape to cover the hole of the can. It stayed more fizzy and was nicely drinkable the next day.
I so appreciate how u seriously go all out for ur reviews to give real world scenarios whenever possible. The way u splashed in the muddy puddle for instance. Love ur channel & hugs to Bailey too❣️❣️❣️
FYI, there are probes to measure carbonation levels. Typically for brewers, but they should work well for your tests.
These longer videos are awesome especially on a weekend!!! Keep it up!!!
use to make the original furzappers at the factory I work at, I never really thought they were the best working product either
That's interesting! It seems like it should work in theory, but I've never found that they worked. I used my original Fur Zapper until it fell apart, and not once did I think, "Oh it really got all the hair off this time!"
@@FreakinreviewsI had thought that you just use them to dab on the clothes and pick the hair up. I didn’t realise you got them wet and when you said you wash with them, I thought G will that stop the stick in this working. (Stickiness)
They work quite well when you use them on dry clothes to dab off the hair

A saying comes to mind. You get what you pay for.
Yeah sadly most of them work as advertise.
That's a lie. Many "luxury" brands make cheap products that they charge out the ass for.
I'm the exception that proves the rule with Temu, I guess. I've purchased a sweater, a purse, and a set of tote bags, and all are top quality. No CC issues, either, which I can't say for either PayPal or Amazon. I think ordering online is always going to be a crapshoot.
try the shoe covers on wet tile! little portable slip and slides in an instant! hahahah
Hi 👋 I enjoyed your video. Just thought I would tell you about something I learned recently about Temu. I’m in the UK and channel 4 dispatches recently made a programme about some Temu products. They bought a variety of different items from Temu and tested them in a professional lab. They found that many of the products had crazy high levels of dangerous chemicals and heavy metals including in the water bottle and children’s jacket. I don’t have a link to the show unfortunately but I thought you might be interested if you can access it.
P.s. the spiralizer you tried might deserve a retest. You put your finger in the whole and spin your wrist while holding the cucumber upright. It turns without putting too much pressure on it. Maybe the Temu one doesn’t work but I do know some of the Amazon ones that look really similar do work pretty well.
Thanks for the video
I didn't even realise it was a 40 mins bideo until the end. Easy to watch. Love your videos.
Those sunglasses would be great at the dentist to block their bright light and keep the bits they fling all over off your regular glasses.
Rather than wearing heavy shirts with sleeves or using those things, get some hiking shirts from a store like REI, they have super light weight breathable shirts that offer sun protection as well so you have long sleeves but they're made for summer.
Not sure if you have a Daiso near you. But you should check out their kitchen tools and test them out. I heard they are decent. 😊
Well you cannot get it for a dollar for sure.
The steering wheel cover is pretty useless, when there's already full windshield covers which do pretty much the same job, and keep the interior cooler.
he bought all these items to re-fill his bone yard
I’d love to see the bone yard
I have one of those round ball ice cube trays. As far as I can tell that marker isn't a "fill line," it's just a thing to help the top half snap into the bottom half. I'm a big fan of the ice that I get out of mine, and I also use a larger tray with smaller spheres. A good way to figure out how much water to put in is to measure how much water goes in to fill the dents, then double it, and then you get a good idea of how much water to add in, but it's easier to just overfill it a little and then pour out the excess (or let the excess freeze on the top half so you also get some crushed ice).
4:53 this seems like it would honestly work best to combine the two pieces and submerge it all underwater to fill it and make sure all the air bubbles are out then freeze. I feel like if you do it this way there won’t be those nasty looking edges on it like there is now.
The steering wheel cover wasn't a valid test since you started out with a hot steering wheel and the cover only trapped the heat in. You needed to start with a cool steering wheel and see if the cover kept it from getting hot.
The spatula is for eggs with no broken yolks that you need to flip and not break the yolk. My mother bought one in the 70s which I have now and just used last night. It works great for what it was made for which was flipping eggs with an unbroken yolk.
9:14.
American eggs seem different than Scandinavian eggs.
Using the same tool on Scandinavian egg works great. The egg yolk separates eysli from the white.
@@petercrenfield We have both in Norway. Mostly white, but also light brown ones too.
It's weird, i live in Wyoming and the only bugs that try to get in people's soda cans are bees, wasps, hornets, etc. That is definitely a bit more terrifying to go really a drink of your soda and have no idea a stinging creature is inside it. I think that tab would work great for keeping them out even though it doesn't snap
The wine stoppers from Amazon pour well also, unlike the Temu knockoffs.
I would like to get the sleeves to wear while driving. But it might not work with large arms.
Companies make a fortune with junk like this because it costs so little that no one bothers to return the item or ask for a refund.
Is that a Black Sabbath Heaven And Hell vinyl I see in the background? One of the greatest Albums of all time
You have excellent taste.
Thank you and yes I do have great taste in music 😉
That Grip n Flip knock off would be great for grilled cheese.
I’ve never had a hard time cooking grilled cheese.
Lol the logic, and mostly the commentary, is all over the place in the best way with this one 😂.
Well..Your Old Enough To Know Eggs Come With Their Own Separator😂
My old enough to know eggs come with their own separator, what? You used the correct "their" but the wrong "you're*." 😛
This randomly popped up my feed, and I did not know that I needed this, but I'm here for it. Your humor is much needed in that nerdy way! I love it.
You had a bit of Denzel W. swag in that walk when wearing the sleeves 😂
Subbed 😊
on the peeler, did you try going the other way - pull it instead of pushing it?
It's going to take a bit of practice too before you get uniform-width spirals too. As someone who had one back in the day.
makes you wonder how toxic the plastic or metal is as the product is so cheap,mass produced another great video
With the ice cube trays and any food-related products, I'd be concerned that the plastic is made with lead and other toxic substances since there's no safety regulations over there.
Where do you think the ones sold in lower cost stores are made? Not likely US.
Your Popeye impression is going to be my new ring tone. Just saying. Thank you!
The lid to the ice cube tray has holes for a reason, you fill it, AFTER putting the lid on, THATS how you get spheres.
Scrolled way too far down to find this comment. Thank you! That was driving me nuts 😂
🤣🤣🤣👍
No, the lid is to go on after filling the bottom tray. The lid also needs to be pushed right down in order to get the spheres, with no "edges" though
I uave multiple of these, in various sizes, all the way up to ones that make D20 shaped cubes the size of a billards ball, ALL work the same way, you fill it through the hole to actually make the shape.
Those ones are designed to be filled from the top. These smaller ones aren't. I can only imagine how long it would take to fill this one from the top. We had some when I was a child (25ish years ago) and the written instructions actually said to fill and press. Granted, it also said how much liquid was required so it didn't squirt out the top at force
The Soda Topper thing is only good if you can backhand the soda it covers off the counter, and it doesn't pop off and send coke flying when it hits the floor. That's extreme, though, maybe lightly knock it on its side and leave it like that for 10 minutes. Otherwise, it's not superb for children's parties, much less their rooms... Also, the whole plastic stuff from Temo for humans to fix to the top of their soda cans kind of means the rest of what I said was redundant, because you don't want to have that plastic touch any of your orifices, or swallow part of it.
10/10 I know what I'm doing for Christmas.
What a great idea have a crazy gadgets Christmas party to exchange....sounds fun😂
For egg separation i have always cracked my egg snd use a half of the shell to get it in😂
As far as the "Grip n Flip". I think it would be good for an omelet, a sandwich which you are toasting in a pan, quesadilla, etc. Something you need to keep together while turning. I would have never thought to use it for an egg or pancake. Hmm. I'd buy it. The others I might try are the stretch lids and, for use in my storm cellar for my cot, the travel pillow. (I like to be prepared to get stuck down there for awhile, or if my house blows away, I'll have things to live down there. 😉
Temu selling the long gloves people wear with thigh high socks as arm coolers is kinda hilarious
I have a similar pair I use for gardening - the little hairs on squash plants give me a rash, so when I'm harvesting or cutting back I stick them on. Not so much for cooling, though.
I was thinking repurposed pantyhose...
I also use it when I'm gardening. I use to protect from UV rays. Not to help to keep me cooler
Warehouse workers are optionally provided those at amazon, to protect your arms.
@kathykrisko3228 I have 2 thicker arm sleeves that are printed with "do not draw blood or take blood pressure on this arm" from the hospital lol.
I had skin grafts and some some bumps removed from one arm they constantly wanted to use it for pressure and blood and the so one nurse grabbed a sleeve.
I too them home and use then inside out to keep my arms from getting all scratched while I'm berry picking. I have several spots of wild black raspberries and they have big thorns. My wild blackberries do too. It's cooler than wearing a long sleeved shirt yet still protects my arms. Now if you had old t-shirts you don't wear you could easily make tubes for sleeves
Been using the ice cube tray for over a year, for wine cubes. Works great and can't beat the price. The bowl lids have held up also. You might want try out the counterfeit apple ear buds! They were a big surprise, because they worked. I normally don't use ear buds, unless I'm traveling, so a $3 pair is perfect. Temu isn't known for its high quality, but definitely has a lot of items that do the job. As for 'made in China', well if I went to the local box store, their version would be made there too! BTW If you get something damaged or you want to send back, they are easier and quicker than most stores are!
wow, you agravated me so much on how you used that spiralizer.
The stretchy lid covers I use all the time to cover bowls, pots and cans in general. The small one does fit dog food cans and cans in general, why didn't you try it on the other cans. You just put it on the red bull can.
“Feels cheap”
Well that’s because it is.
