Look real close at the section when they peel the apple in the infomercial. There's a nice obvious edit when she closes her hands and when she opens them after the edit you can see that they clearly peeled it with a knife off screen. The peels are in nice big slices in her hand lol
10:42pm after a bad dirty joke to my wife (which she didn't get), I picked back up the phone and we watched the commercial, which naturally lead to here. Thank you sir, I always wondered if they worked and now I know.

I feel like a lot of people are suddenly afraid of knives, and people want to make money off of idiots, so some big company invents the Potato gloves in hopes to make a couple bucks to pay rent.
Worth noting: even if you have a garbage disposal, it’s generally recommended that you don’t put potato peelings in it. Therefore, this product has the potential to ruin your plumbing
In my country, which has no drought problems of any kind, there's a lot of conflicting mixed messages about how much water can/should be used in households. One one hand they say that it's good to conserve water. On the other hand that exact same water that you are "conserving" is being circulated regardless of whether you use it or not. It's not like they can keep the water in the water towers indefinitely. They _have to_ circulate the water, for pretty obvious reasons. The water that you are not using yourself will flow some other way anyway, completely regardless, so it's not like it matters much. There's in fact a problem caused by using too little water in households: It clogs sewers. Sewers function when there's enough waterflow, and they tend to clog up if there isn't enough waterflow. If tons of households start being extremely conservative in their water usage, it will start clogging up the nearby sewers that act as outlets for those households, which increases maintenance costs. It's not like water is a limited resource. At least not here. It's the whole water cycle thing. Water flows to the sea, it evaporates, it rains on land, around we go.
"re-inventing the wheel" all you need is some black and white footage of how people used to do things add some gullible people and you got a million dollar idea........

Yayyy! An infomercial! I don't care what ANYBODY says Mike. You look GREAT. I love the facial hair! And you always have me laughing my head off! A lovely ray of sunshine in my dark, dejected world.😊💕🙏🌸✌🍀

Some time ago there was an article about these knickknacks sold in informercials on cracked that made kinda sense. It poses the hypothesis that many of these devices that all seem rather underwhelming when compared to conventional ways of doing stuff actually are aimed at handicapped people - for example amputees with only one hand and conditions like that. Like "how do you peel a potato with only one hand?". From THAT point of view a bunch of inventions like this peeler-glove make sense: Yah, you CAN do better if you can use two hands, but for someone with one missing arm who lives alone this might be an actual helper. But of course you don't use handicapped people in TV adverts, they could scare or offend some viewers, so instead they have un-handicapped people act like utter idiots when trying to do stuff the usual way....
Hmm... Potato peeler: $1 USD and your trash can. Tater Mitts: Probably $10 USD + an increased water bill + either a garbage disposal unit or a clogged sink full of peeling and the blue shards that will rub off, which, if you are peeling a lot of potatoes, or are peeling regularly, will cost you over $200 USD to fix.
See, for most of these products I can see an application for disabled people (snuggies are great if you're stuck on the sofa a lot, and so on) but this one has me stumped - I do find peeling potatoes quite hard going, but this looks like MUCH more effort and with all that horrible gunk to clean off the things/out of the sink! I guess *maaaaaybe* for someone who couldn't safely grip a peeler at all???
If someone doesn't want to peel with a knife, and they don't have a peeler, a spoon works just as well. Guess if you need to keep a small child occupied while you make dinner?
I mean, apart from the fact that the apple is OBVIOUSLY peeled by regular means in the infomercial, any time you would've saved - had the gloves worked as intended - you'd spend on cleaning the damn things afterwards, instead of, you know, just rinsing a potato peeler or knife and drying it in ten seconds.
Its like they took the cheapest gloves you'd wear for cleaning, and glued pieces of plastic waste from probably making some other tat onto them and called it a day.
Pity they don't work better, my mom has arthritis and could use them. I like skin on my potatoes but she doesn't so she avoids making anything with whole potatoes
I was just picturing, when you stopped rubbing it against your face, you suddenly being clean shaven in that spot. I'm glad it didn't happen that way. Otherwise, I might've ruptured something laughing!
"So many innuendos."
"This is pretty much pornography."
"Listen to that grind against itself."
"I'm dripping everywhere!"
You can't have this much fun with a regular peeler now can you? :)
It'd be painful
Dirty mind.
You forgot "You'll 'ave to get a bloody plumber 'round."
And "Look at that shit in the sink."
Listen, not my taste, but Rule 36.
Pair these with the Snuggie and the Rejuvinquie Mask and you have a new horror movie slasher.

Brilliant!
100% the spud in that advert had been boiled prior to being man-handled by the devils wank glove.
LMAO WHY my lord....
Fucking LOL. Hahahaha. That tickled me.
If you’re going to boil the potato, might as well dip it into ice water right after. That’ll take the peel right off.
AWESOME! You finally got around to reviewing the mitts I sent you. Hope you and Grace are doing well.
My grandmother actually ordered those when they first came out. She was so pissed they didn't tell you you had to boil them first LMAO
The gloves or the potatoes?
lets be fair theirs a more pressing matter such as keeping carrots away from your gran when she has those gloves on
They expect unto boil an apple???
@Body By Bacon Depends whether she is a sexy gran or not!
But does it grate cheese?
And can he put his "carrot" in them
Put your willy in it LOL!
@Arrow Head just continuing a running joke on this channel
No but Mr Frosty does.

Dude you look great, well done for turning it around, im in my early 30s now and struggling
watching mike polish his king edward in the kitchen sink was the highlight of my quarantine

This just BEGGS to be an episode of SOUTHPARK... Involving Stan Marsh
The instruction manual when she got them said to boil them for five minutes and let cool before peeling.
Might reduce shedding of blue bits. Might not. Cleaning them after use seems as if it could be the biggest problem
@@markiangooley the potatoes not the gloves lolz
"Its like someone is taking alot of shards of glass and glued them to some gloves"
Just like Van Damme did in that movie!
"New! It's the sink plunger!" "Ever got a clog in your sing because of potato peels?"
Nice one Mike, lol at the cleaning of the carrot!!!😂😂😂😂
I didn't expect it to work
Does anyone else get anxiety about a tap being left on for too long? 😅
Yes!! 😯😯😯
I was born and raised in California, prime drought country. HELL YES I DO! 😮

"Simply rub and with a few quick strokes"
I see what you did there.
The look on his face when the carrot appears said it all. It's all looks rude lol brilliant 😂 and good to see these again.
WARNING - not intended for use as a marital aid or masturbatory device!
"Phallic Carrot" is my favourite character from Veggie Tales...Also; Bonus points for resisting multiple times the "Hassleback Potato" pun
Thank you for this review. I haven't laughed that hard in a while.
"The possibilities are endless!" The possibilities would be endless regardless of how the potatoes are peeled, they're potatoes.
4:00 when your father enters your room
Thank you so much for everything you do! We love you, Mr. Jeavons! :)
Peeling that carrot definitely resembles a, “spanking the monkey” motion. %-/
How else would it be done
About half way through your book, Viral. Would recommend to anyone reading this, it's so funny!
Mike’s face at the carrot 😂😂😂😂
Excuse me while i peel my carrot

It's like someone was cleaning a litter box with rubber gloves on and came up with this.
“Two by two, hands of blue!”
I remember owning these monstrosities. I’ll stick with my knife. These things were just awful to use.
Somehow the sound of those gloves suddenly makes me understand SMR.
can you do a video on Basil's history, age, story etc...? i'd love it if you could do that.
tanya vanwagner Basil could review treatsa and toy simultaneously while Mike gives us the low down...
I love the bloody cat almost as much as Mike and Grace 🤣
He's a fucking cat lol. What kind of history and back story do you think he has?
You got that carrot down to a fine art dude 😂😂😂😜
Amazing! Nailed it Mike, just the chuckle needed at moment :-)
Put your willy in it!
On second thought, don't put your willy in it. There won't be much left, and Grace won't like that.
"What's tater mitts, precious?"
Could you use them for cleaning. They look like they’d do a good job with Garden tools, outdoor furniture, grout, and maybe removing wallpaper?
I use these in my garden when i plant roses.
Judging by this, their claim of a 100% peeled potato in 8 seconds is absolutely ludicrous.
Some of the infomercials are just far too hilarious for me to take .
I swear I read the title as Taser mitts. i got excited, then I saw potatoes.. I was wondering who tasers potatoes. But Mike never fails.
Ah fuck, I dropped my adhesive-riddled gloves on the gravel driveway again. Oh well, better use 'em for my goddamn potatoes again.
You shaved the shit out of that carrot

I strongly suspect them potatoes where already pealed before the gloves where used
Hmm...

When you wash your hands from Coronavirus.
"Peeling" doesn't seem like the right word for what these are doing. "Abrading" feels more accurate, or possibly "ablating."
Almost as scary as the "Two by two, hands of blue..."
They peeled the people in my basement just fine.
You could give yourself the most exfoliating of scrubs with those gloves!
I read “tater mints” and was really confused by the thumbnail
Holy shit, you got the right product this time!
"You are seducing no one"
You dont know what my sex life is like - was thinking they would be fun!
Can't imagine that being quicker than just using a potato peeler

Waste of water to me
Yes I’m gonna be that guy ... girl 😂
Great vid Mike... what’s next the no food in Tesco challenge? Haha
No toilet roll anywhere challenge 🤔😬
Zoë W haha yessss!
Keep rubbing your carrot,Mike!! I mean the vegetable...It sounds wrong whatever way you say it!!😄
But can you grate cheese with them?
Hi Mike I Hope you stay safe during that stupid virus 🦠
This show does not get the respect it deserves
I agreed with you on that one.
Those gloves are 100% used for feeding an industrial drain snake down the sewer. Roto-Router guys around the U.S. will know exactly what those are.
You wouldn't want to accidently swallow one of those bits
Just watch a grown man wash his carrot. On UA-cam. I haven’t clicked off. You win, Mike.
I mean, apart from the fact that the apple is OBVIOUSLY peeled by regular means in the infomercial, any time you would've saved - had the gloves worked as intended - you'd spend on cleaning the damn things afterwards, instead of, you know, just rinsing a potato peeler or knife and drying it in ten seconds.
I bet they blanched the potatoes in the commercial
Never since the Shake-weight has an infomercial been so suggestive
If you need to peel some potatoes and don't know how to kill the time, this product would be amazing!
Tater Mitts taking self-gratification to a new level
My mother had these when I was a kid...
They were fun to destroy fruit I didn't want to eat (they didn't stay in the house long after that).
Garbage disposals aren't really a thing in the UK, are they?
are you still peel-peel-peeling potatoes?
*S T A H P*
I constantly forget europe doesn't have disposals in their sinks.
a week on pizza pleaseeeee mike. we need it so bad
I saw richard ayoade try these and i dont like the thought of tossing off a carrot before i consume it via mouth and not bum
I have to admit, I misread the title of this video and thought this was goingbto be a review of "Taser mitts".
Its like they took the cheapest gloves you'd wear for cleaning, and glued pieces of plastic waste from probably making some other tat onto them and called it a day.
But can it remove Cheese rind? Also. What a waste of Water to peel a few Potatoes
Pity they don't work better, my mom has arthritis and could use them.
I like skin on my potatoes but she doesn't so she avoids making anything with whole potatoes
Brilliant 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You may as well just take a cheese grater to your produce if you're going to use these gloves lol
The constantly running tab freaked me out.
Whats the point in peeling potatoes and carrots? I never peel them.
Fun fact. They boil the potatoes for 10 min before they used the gloves.
why would you need to peel a carrot?
You can literally see the potatos are already peeled with a knife as its not remotely smooth....
I was just picturing, when you stopped rubbing it against your face, you suddenly being clean shaven in that spot. I'm glad it didn't happen that way. Otherwise, I might've ruptured something laughing!
