The ss soap doesn't clean your hands but it does take away smells, they are used in a lot of restaurants. I have used them before, I didn't believe it would work at first but they do.
Dude… I have to speak up for cats here. I was firmly on the anti-cat squad growing up. Then I ended up stumbling into having two (and then three) as pets. They absolutely miss me when I’m gone, they’ll even be upset if I’m just outside having a cigar and get so happy when I come back in. There’s been so many days that I’ve had a rough time with my depression or anxiety, or just gotten sick, and they will come to me and be ridiculously affectionate to help me feel better. I don’t do anything but give them food, water, a litter box, toys to play with, and some affection. My friend sent me a big tub of cat treats but I keep forgetting it’s there because I don’t give my cats treats usually. No bribes, just give them a comfy home and some love, and they give me so much in return. People think they can ignore cats and they’re fine, then act like it’s the cat’s fault that it isn’t affectionate toward them. Why would it care about you if you never show you care about it?
The simple answer is "because that's what dogs do". Dogs need affection so badly they will do anything for it (because they're pack animals by nature, just like us). Cats, meanwhile, are naturally solitary, so if you don't teach them that receiving affection is nice, they don't miss it. Once they do know, though... There's more than enough videos floating around the internet of cats that come up to their humans to demand pets.
Yep. I'm absolutely a "dog person," including in my profession, but I love cats as lower-energy cuddle buddies, and I've almost always got at least one special-needs foster cat or kitten in the house (I'm a veteran at my shelter, so I get the ferals, bite cases, extremely sick or injured ones, or the bottle babies that are least likely to survive). Also, since I train professional working dogs, all of my personal cats are also trained formally in basic obedience and one of them who is especially clever does quite a few tricks, as well. They're all well-socialized and love it when folks come to the house to visit, and if you ignore them they will absolutely harass the hell out of you until you give in and love on them. Any animal person who doesn't like cats just hasn't spent any time around any half-decent cats.
@@davidpotash7256That i have fantastic judgment?

I see your pet rock and raise you my worms. Yes, I bought 250 worms, put them in a big black box with coconut husk and dirt and they've been eating my kitchen scraps for months and there are now (estimate) 500 of them creating gold standard compost for my flower garden. Love my worms. Best pet ever. Eat the food scraps and produce pesticide-free world-saving poop! Look at me! Queen of sustainability! Priestess of Green! Improving the planet! Have multiple (hundreds of) pets that I feed pure organic food every day and am therefor a guaranteed "good person"! They die every winter but have laid enough eggs to double their population every spring (so, no care for 6 months out of the year).
Ooh, you want to see some of the monsters I've found in my compost heap! One was little finger thick and about 200mm. Scarey! Lokk, I've seen Tremors, OK?
All right, no care for winter. Where do you put worm food in winter??? In not joking, in truly curious. My family had been composting since forever, it's nothing fancy, just a pile of degradable stuff this year, another the next year, and on the third year the first pile is compost. My mom also turns over each pile at the start of the warm season (when the compost heap is no longer frozen). Plus the previous year heap grows magnificent squash and potatoes. I live in a small apartment, I'd have to export my compost to, idk, my mom's summer house. Which I just can't.
So a note on Doggles. I have worked as a technician at an Animal Hospital in America for 11 years and Doggles are actually used as eye protection when we are performing laser therapy for them. Also, using doggles as a form of eye protection for breeds whose eyes protrude from the skull (a lot of toy breeds) isn't a bad idea. The amount of money people have to spend because their dog injured an eye during the regular day to day is mind boggling.
I had a pair for my pup when he was on my motorcycle. I didn’t use them for sun protection, but bug protection. Given the amount of splat I cleaned off them, I’m sure they saved me hundreds if not thousands of dollars and his eyesight.
Some kids that don't get good gifts from "santa" will wonder if they weren't good enough because their friends got xboxs and they just got a stuffy. It's beautiful that Simon does the small thing from Santa. It makes a surprising difference to those who aren't as fortunate ❤
My grandfather used to make handmade wooden toys and say they were from Santa. I took that tradition and carried it on with my kids. Your kid may have gotten a Switch, but mine got a rubber band gun that looks like a Tommy gun and shoots 300 rubber bands on a single reload. 😂 It makes the other parents in my neighborhood a bit miffed to see their kids ditching brand new Nerf guns to play with the arsenal of rubber band guns my kids have. Our cul-de-sac is covered in neon colored rubber bands almost every weekend. 😂
@@SkunkApe407 I'm a 38 (almost 39) year old man the rubberband guns sound awesome. I also have a Nerf revolver easier to use when you only have 1 functional hand.
@@Dragonmaster0118 I need to start making these things en masse. I make one that looks like a 1911, that shoots 9 bands, and can be reloaded with one hand. I've done it. Didn't want to put my beer in the dirt.😅 I make a few different styles, and am constantly trying to figure out new ones. I'm currently trying to figure out a pump shotgun based on a Mossberg that pumps and shoots 3 bands per pump.
I can say from personal experience that the steel soap works surprisingly well. I suspect the spoon test doesn't work because of the high polish finish.
Nickle content in 'soap' is much higher than what is safe for cutlery. Metal 'soap' works through chemistry...a tiny bit of nickle metal dissolves into the gunk on your hands, killing most odors. Spoons can't be allowed to dissolve...the taste of nickle salts is truly horrendous!
There are also multiple alloy combinations that are all stainless steel, so it's possible that stainless steel silverware would not be the same alloy as the soap. We are unlikely to get a definitive peer-reviewed answer as this is not something likely to receive enough independent funding to put to rest.
I'm a upland bird and waterfowl hunter, so my dog spends a lot of time in the field. Dog goggles are definitely a thing, but its more for eye protection in extremely thick brush or for certain very aggressive birds that go for the eyes. I know a guy that insists on putting them on his dog during hunts for Canadian geese becasue he had one almost take his dog's eye out on a retrieve.
My dog's aunt, (his doggo dads sister) has doggles for rides in her sidecar, yep her owner drives a motorcycle and got a sidecar for the dog, honestly it's the cutest thing
As a Canadian, I’m not surprised that a Canada goose did that. They are incredibly evil fuckers and the vast majority of us know not to mess with them. Even just walking too close to them can set off those winged beasties!
Since buying my stainless steel soap my fingers no longer smell of onions. This is because I can no longer afford them after paying the medical bills for repeated fractured toes and feet. The frequent replacement floor tiles in my shower have also allowed my plumber to buy a fleet of stainless steel cybertrucks. In addition, there were the fines for carrying my soap on a rope to go clubbing.
As someone who actually has bought one, they are HOLLOW & very light weight. So much so that you're far more likely to fracture your toes with actual soap than one of these things. I still use soap for 99% of the time (i.e. at home) but when I'm out on the lash, I always take along my steel soap so I can wash my hands under the tap rather than filling the bowl that countless alcoholics have p!ssed in rather than wait for a urinal to become free.
In Delaware in the USA there was a guy when I was growing up who was 'the' Santa. He literally changed his name and was essentially in character his whole life. Pictures with him were free and he would ride around on the top of a decorated fire truck, tossing candy at people who came out to see. It was delightful.
As an owner of a Belgian Shepard I felt that small story about the ball personally, like they look at you as if to say "if you threw it away why should I go pick it up?" Aye, sweet pup. Too smart.
I went to a cooking class and they had the stainless steel bars, garlic peelers and a bunch of useless crud for sale that would be a complete waste of money. Never went back.
Absolutely agreed on gifts from mom & dad vs gifts from Santa! We filled stockings with smaller or more traditional/weird retro toys. We weren't really well off, but did save up to splurge on the kids at Xmas. However, kids do compare notes when winter break is over and we didn't want to contribute to the wonder of why one household received an iPhone, a hoverboard, and an rc helicopter while just a block away Santa left a bag of marbles and a wooden puppet that gets excited when you pull its crotch string. Apple makes iPhones. Elves make puppets with weird fetishes. If there was a gift of some expensive electronic thing, mom & dad were taking their due credit.
Tbh I never got gifts from Santa. My mom made a day by day tiny gift thing, but it was from a nisse called Nis that was our personal nisse. When I was around 12 she wrote me a letter from Nis, where he explained that a new child needed him now and he had to move on. I knew it was my mom and I think she knew I knew too, but it was still so sweet ❤
@Jameson1776 from wikipedia: A nisse (Danish: [ˈne̝sə], Norwegian: [ˈnɪ̂sːə]), tomte (Swedish: [ˈtɔ̂mːtɛ]), tomtenisse, or tonttu (Finnish: [ˈtontːu]) is a mythological creature from Nordic folklore today typically associated with the winter solstice and the Christmas season. They are generally described as being short, having a long white beard, and wearing a conical or knit cap in gray, red or some other bright colour. They often have an appearance somewhat similar to that of a garden gnome.
@Jameson1776 np Figured I wanted to know, and so would others such as yourself and a simple copy paste step added to what I was already doing was effectively nothing, so I did it. Peas
@@KiwiRanger1 😎I think I lost my Santa Clause innocence when I realized he was coming down a 4” furnace flue pipe and out of the furnace… and he often had to borrow dad’s tools and didn’t put them back…
With regards to Stainless-Steel Soap, Simon reported that "Chromium forms an oxide when it is in contact with air and water..." As a woodworker, I use chromium oxide in a compound to finely sharpen my steel tools as it is a very fine abrasive, fine enough to exfoliate without damaging skin. This knee-jerk-weird-sounding product may actually perform as it says on the tin.
My parents refused to buy us kids a pet rock so my very creative sister started making her own to give to all the kids who didn't get one, for free made to order (color, shape,eyes googly or painted etc) my whole town had them and not one was bought but made. We quickly seen the Stupidity of this product but every kid had one made by my sister on our school desk. My sisters first "Stick it to the man" move.
Yeah this might sound weak of me but that honestly gave me an anxiety attack.. I can't handle sounds like that and I'm just glad it was playing through my speakers and not my headphones
A pet rock IS perfect for those bratty kids who constantly whine about wanting a pet but you know damn well they'd abuse or neglect it. Also, as an aside, if you actually treat your cat well and not eff with it for shits and giggles, they're definitely affectionate, greet you when you get home and miss you when you're gone. My cat Verbal meows at me like she's in pain if I fail to go greet her within the first minute of coming in the door. If you only give attention to your cat when it comes seeking that attention, it will come seeking it a LOT.
Cats are so affectionate. One of the cats I had when I was in college would come running as soon as she heard my voice in my parents' house. She was such a cuddle bug. My roommate's cat greets me and her at the door, and she has a different little dance depending on who's coming in (we have a camera to see the dances, and we assume she hears the difference between our keychains).
@philippal8666 They do that because you hurt their feelings be being away too long, lol. That is literally the ONLY time my cat ignores me is if I was away from home too long, or if she sees me pet another cat. I just apologize with food and extra attention until I win her over again.
@Dragonmaster0118 Either hates them or mistreats them. Seen so many cat owners harass their cats and annoy them for laughs, then act like it's 'just what cats do" when their cat doesn't want anything to do with them.
I once had "pet socks". Yes, googly eyes. Yes awesome instuctions. As i recall, pet socks prefer a penthouse (i.e.. the top drawer of the dresser), warm baths with gentle soap. They prefered to be worn with the faces towards each other, for company and conversations, but the outer ankle was nice when going on adventures so they could see what was going on.
If you have stainless steel faucet, you can just rub your hands on that to see if works for you. It's not meant to replace soap, just help with the smell.
I'm on my 10th ebike as I have been a fan since trading in my dying moped for a Schwinn I-Ride when they first came out. Since I have every couple or few years gifted my thoroughly used bike to friends and family that I thought would enjoy an ebike and have yet to be totally wrong as many have bought additional units after using the gifted bike for a period of time. The reason I am buying new bikes every other year is because that is roughly the generational changes for the products, not that I'm buying bleeding edge technology, instead I shop from the bottom of the line in full sized adult bikes. You see every couple years the base model products get the latest and greatest, recently made inexpensive, new developments. First models were all lead acid batteries and 24 volt 200-300 watt systems with no cadence control, now the bottom of the line is lithium ion 48v 500-1000 watt with accelerator, pedal force sensors, lights, turn signals, suspension, back rack and a horn with an increased range almost ten times the original offerings at a similar price to what you paid way back when.
I'm looking into one to replace the gas bike I made back in 08..it was great at the time but it is noisy, not street legal where I am and mixing gas is annoying...
Stainless steel "soap" bars for removing the smell of fish from your hands have been around since before the internet, and indeed since before computers. The only thing that is important is to use COLD water. They really DO work too. I came across one in the kitchen of a holiday cottage on the Isle of Wight in about 1975. It was so effective (I caught and cooked a LOT of fish that holiday), I bought one for home. It took me nearly a a year to find one. The only difference was that the originals have a blunt "blade" running around the widest circumference.
When I was little I quickly worked out that if Santa was making these gift in his magical workshop, then the cost of the gift really shouldn't matter and I should be able to ask for really expensive toys which Santa would easily be able to provide. This lead to my parents having to explain that Santa can only give gifts that your family can afford, which struck me as a bit odd.
Doggles are great though. There is an illness common mainly in shepherds called Keratitis superficialis chronica, which makes them very sensitive to UV light. In those cases Doggles, or RexSpecs, are awesome. I used to work at a Vet specialised in ophthalmology, and we recommended them regularly
"Santa" gifts in my family are always from my Dad ❤️ He gets something little for everyone. Just little, inexpensive, but we all treasure that little gift every year
We told our kids that Santa wasn't real from the very beginning. My husband said he hated the "Santa lie" as a kid so we just skipped it. I personally hate Christmas decorating and what not so our Christmases are really chill I guess you could say. Which is so nice.
It's important to give only small gifts from Santa because once the kid goes to school and talk with their friends, a pattern might emerge that Santa loves the rich kids more.
At one point in the 80s you could earn a pet keepers badge in Scouts Canada for keeping a pet rock. It wasn't as stupid as it sounds, though. It was meant for kids who couldn't have pets (apartments, allergies, etc) and there was an entire list of things they had to do to 'take care' of their rock, including bathing it and repainting its' face.
Dogs may not be as affected by uv, but they are suceptible to flying particles, so it is not the worst idea to protect their eyes if they are sticking their heads into a 85mph airstream.
I remember the pet rock from 1975. Some people thought the idea was clever. Most didn't. I'm willing to be that most of them were given as gifts at Christmas in 1975. They were something you could give someone who is impossible to shop for. We all have someone like that in our lives.
Gotta give credit to my mom who basically made Santa an anti-hero in my home. I had an older sister and older cousin, but despite them saying Santa wasn't real, I held on, thinking it was like Peter Pan: as long as you believed, he lived. Not getting credit for all the work she did setting up Santa's surprises probably irked her narcissist side to no end. She was probably grateful when I started asking, "If Santa makes these in his toy shop, why aren't all toys from him made of wood? why is it stuff I see on tv?" and she explained that he got the stuff from the stores. That made me ask, "then why doesn't he get the good stuff on my list? am I not good enough?" and she explained that it was because her and daddy had to give Santa the money to get it. When I asked about how they got all wrapped up, it finally broke down into "Santa gets the list, tells us, we buy everything, get it here, wrap it, and set it up." It was the 70s - nothing was getting delivered anywhere. So, in my mind, Santa was this crazy old guy who manipulated adults into teaching their kids he was magical and to love him and took all the credit for the hard work and sacrifice of parents. Scared me to wonder how he'd manage to control the whole world (as I knew it) into supporting this lie and that he could find anyone anywhere and get into their homes at any time on Christmas Eve/day. Yeah, mom bust that bubble hard!
Nothing beats a hot cocoa made in a pot on the stove. Partly because that pot can do more than just make cocoa for the 50 bucks you pay. Like what does the machine do that the pot doesn't? Stir itself? That's the only thing it can be, right?
@@trishapellis I never tested it out but it was still in the original bix,unopened. I agree with you wholeheartedly. Hot cocoa from the pot is delicious!
The single gift from Santa is what my parents always did. I really liked the way it worked out, it was something special but I got to share the rest with my family.
I was a chef in a previous life. The metal soap bar works. It sops your eyes watering if you leave it next to the chopping board while you chop onions as well.
5:07 Can’t claim to know where the scientific variable lies, but *a quick stainless steel rub DOES remove the scent persists way past soaps on MANY people’s skin after handling garlic/onion juice* - it shouldn’t be shaped like soap it *complements,* tho, but in a way to easily reach under the nails and between fingers. _(I think it was accidentally discovered by someone noticing the absence of post-soap lingering scent on the one finger they’d used to scrub something off their stainless steel sink.)_
Doggles can actually help keep dogs who have eye injuries or who have had surgery from scratching at their eyes. Of course, you can also buy an plastic cone.
I love Simon's approach to Christmas gifts with his kids. While I'm not a parent, I was a child once. While I certainly got all sorts of lovely toys and coats around Christmastime, I remember seeing all of the kids around me getting electronics and stuff and wondering why Santa hated me lol All that to say, I think it was a really wonderful idea to have most things come from mom and/or dad and, if Santa is celebrated in your family, having something small come from Santa!
In my country, we have Sinterklaas (the OG Santa - that's not a joke, Santa is an amalgam of Sinterklaas and Father Christmas made in the USA) on december 6 and Christmas on the 24th. So the 6th is for toys, candy and stuff the kids like, and the 24th is primarily for stuff the parents think the kids need - what I have received most for Christmas is new clothes and shoes. 😅
Stainless steel works to remove the smells, but you’re supposed to use it after washing your hands. Most people just run their hands on a stainless steel kitchen appliance after washing their hands to cut the smell. It’s like using a lemon based hand soap to cut the smell of shellfish from your hands
Wait, was I the only person who put a pillow case next to my bed as a kid on Christmas morning, to awake to it jam full of fun stuff before I even got to opening presents. That was one of the best bits. The wrapped presents were from mum and dad, but Santa filled the pillow case and just happened to know everything I liked.
There was JD in that sippy cup (not catman vance). You were wasted. And your shirt is dirty. IT WAS HILARIOUS!!!!! More drunk Simon! We need a drunk Simon channel!! 3 thumbs up from our house!! (it's all we have)
There are child psychologists who don't recommend having "Santa" being an especially prominent aspect of gifts for children since it can lead to some children from families with less disposable income becoming convinced that Santa doesn't care about them or that they were "bad", a consequence of such a bombastic narrative blended with materialism.
When my father was 7. He saved up his allowance for a month to buy a Fart in a Jar. Once he opened the jar, there was a small brown piece of paper that's said "Oops you let it out" Gotta love the early 1970s. 😂😂😂
When I was a small child, I asked my mom if Santa is real. She said no, but it's fun to pretend that he is. I said, "Oh, okay" and that was that. No fuss, no sense of betrayal when I learned that I had been lied to, none of that nonsense. People, there's no reason to lie to your kids. Telling them the truth won't ruin their childhoods and won't ruin the "magic" of Christmas. Just give them fun toys and let them get sick on candy, and they will be just fine.
The stainless soap absolutely works. But you don't need to buy a stainless thing if you've got a stainless sink. Try rubbing your hands on the stainless sink next time you chop garlic or onions because it's basically magic and gets rid of the smell immediately.
When my oldest son came home with a letter from school, offering calls from Santa, it gave me a much better idea. After my brother agreed, I went into my contacts and changed his name to Santa Claus, then I waited . One evening about a week before Christmas, when the kids were being particularly resistant to bedtime, I decided to implement the plan. I texted my brother, and walked into their bedroom, with my phone in my pocket. When it rang, I answered and told the kids it was for them. We did this for years, leaving no doubt that 🎶"He knows if you've been bad or good, so be good for goodness sake."🎶
I grew up without Santa. Why do mum and dad buy birthday presents and some random fat white man in snow brings us Christmas presents in the middle of the tropics? 😂😂

I grew up in a large old (1870's) house that had 4 fireplaces, (living room, dining room and two of the largest of the 5 bedrooms.) Santa picking the wrong flue could have landed him in me and my brothers room as we shared one of the bedrooms with a fireplace!
I've been considering getting some Doggles for my 15-year-old terrier. I've noticed that lately, when he comes inside out of the bright, desert sun, he's as blind as a bat for 20 minutes. I think sunnies would help him out.
So one thing about the Doggles, my wife's dog actually got her cornea lacerated by grit when sticking her head out of the window which lead to an expensive surgery; dog goggles likely would have been a more cost effective option (IF they work)
Learn to love the rock. Pet it . Embrace it. If you love something, set it ftee ! If it comes back ? It's yours forever. If it doesn't ? It never really was.
Ok. I know this is an old video, but I have two comments nonetheless 1) My children know that Santa Claus isn't a real person, but as I explained it to them; Santa is not a physical person, no, but it's an idea. You go to bed with nothing (or very little) under the tree and (like magic) when you wake up Christmas morning the room is filled with gifts for you as if someone left them there overnight. The idea of Santa is what makes it so much fun for kids 2) At 15:09 that is a CHICKEN wish bone and not one from a turkey. I know from years of experience of breaking down both roasted chickens and turkeys Thank you for listening to my Ted Talk
Vets will tell you not to let dog stick their heads out the windows of a moving vehicle. They actually get conjunctivitis from the extra dust going into there eyes.
Food for thought about that "soap": When it comes to looking at what part of washing actually does the most to clean your hands, that action is shown to be the scrubbing action you make with some type of aid like a brush or whatnot. Soap just makes that do a better job. With that in mind, perhaps using this "soap" would result in people scrubbing with it under running water for a longer time then if they just used the water itself. Which would probably be a benefit... Though not one big enough to actually replace soap and a brush. Note, I'm talking about results from actual published experiments when it comes to what part of washing produces the biggest results.

The amount of money people have to spend because their dog injured an eye during the regular day to day is mind boggling.
I would imagine they help dogs that like to hang their heads out the windows during June bug season, too.
I had a pair for my pup when he was on my motorcycle. I didn’t use them for sun protection, but bug protection. Given the amount of splat I cleaned off them, I’m sure they saved me hundreds if not thousands of dollars and his eyesight.
Love doggles

Some kids that don't get good gifts from "santa" will wonder if they weren't good enough because their friends got xboxs and they just got a stuffy. It's beautiful that Simon does the small thing from Santa. It makes a surprising difference to those who aren't as fortunate ❤
Never told my kids that Santa BS.
My grandfather used to make handmade wooden toys and say they were from Santa. I took that tradition and carried it on with my kids. Your kid may have gotten a Switch, but mine got a rubber band gun that looks like a Tommy gun and shoots 300 rubber bands on a single reload. 😂 It makes the other parents in my neighborhood a bit miffed to see their kids ditching brand new Nerf guns to play with the arsenal of rubber band guns my kids have. Our cul-de-sac is covered in neon colored rubber bands almost every weekend. 😂
@@SkunkApe407 I'm a 38 (almost 39) year old man the rubberband guns sound awesome. I also have a Nerf revolver easier to use when you only have 1 functional hand.
@@Dragonmaster0118 I need to start making these things en masse. I make one that looks like a 1911, that shoots 9 bands, and can be reloaded with one hand. I've done it. Didn't want to put my beer in the dirt.😅
I make a few different styles, and am constantly trying to figure out new ones. I'm currently trying to figure out a pump shotgun based on a Mossberg that pumps and shoots 3 bands per pump.
@@SkunkApe407 that is awesome.
I can say from personal experience that the steel soap works surprisingly well. I suspect the spoon test doesn't work because of the high polish finish.
^ this, plus it doesn’t REPLACE soap - it just gets rid of the scent that it left behind
Nickle content in 'soap' is much higher than what is safe for cutlery.
Metal 'soap' works through chemistry...a tiny bit of nickle metal dissolves into the gunk on your hands, killing most odors.
Spoons can't be allowed to dissolve...the taste of nickle salts is truly horrendous!
I find rubbing my fingers on the tap works too.
i use my stainless steel sink and was surprised that it worked as intended. makes a huge difference
There are also multiple alloy combinations that are all stainless steel, so it's possible that stainless steel silverware would not be the same alloy as the soap. We are unlikely to get a definitive peer-reviewed answer as this is not something likely to receive enough independent funding to put to rest.
I'm a upland bird and waterfowl hunter, so my dog spends a lot of time in the field. Dog goggles are definitely a thing, but its more for eye protection in extremely thick brush or for certain very aggressive birds that go for the eyes. I know a guy that insists on putting them on his dog during hunts for Canadian geese becasue he had one almost take his dog's eye out on a retrieve.
My dog's aunt, (his doggo dads sister) has doggles for rides in her sidecar, yep her owner drives a motorcycle and got a sidecar for the dog, honestly it's the cutest thing
I've seen it be used with flat-faced dogs (I.e. pugs, frenchies, etc) for eye protection too, mostly at beaches.
Everybody here has tried to put sunglasses and a hat on their dog when drunk...it doesn't work, they don't find it funny
As a Canadian, I’m not surprised that a Canada goose did that. They are incredibly evil fuckers and the vast majority of us know not to mess with them. Even just walking too close to them can set off those winged beasties!
Since buying my stainless steel soap my fingers no longer smell of onions. This is because I can no longer afford them after paying the medical bills for repeated fractured toes and feet. The frequent replacement floor tiles in my shower have also allowed my plumber to buy a fleet of stainless steel cybertrucks. In addition, there were the fines for carrying my soap on a rope to go clubbing.
You'd think this perfect for clubbing... or was this the problem...
@@damenwhelan3236depends who you are clubbing I suppose.
As someone who actually has bought one, they are HOLLOW & very light weight. So much so that you're far more likely to fracture your toes with actual soap than one of these things. I still use soap for 99% of the time (i.e. at home) but when I'm out on the lash, I always take along my steel soap so I can wash my hands under the tap rather than filling the bowl that countless alcoholics have p!ssed in rather than wait for a urinal to become free.
@@Jameson1776 it's always "who ya know" 🙄

Dave is just suddenly gonna turn into John Wick the day Simon starts his canine genocide 😂
Or like Donnie Yen's character 'Caine' in John Wick: Chapter 4.
In Delaware in the USA there was a guy when I was growing up who was 'the' Santa. He literally changed his name and was essentially in character his whole life. Pictures with him were free and he would ride around on the top of a decorated fire truck, tossing candy at people who came out to see. It was delightful.
The stainless soap really does help! Soap sometimes isn't enough but this always took the smell off
I'm so glad he's finally mentioned the cup it's been driving me crazy
is that a sippy cup?
That's what I thought.
The secret to the pet rock was the googly eyes. Anything with googly eyes can be anthropomorphized.

@@joelananna1116that would be awesome. I sometimes wear my Vessi’s to work but it’s not the best idea, id buy steel toes in a heartbeat.
I went to a cooking class and they had the stainless steel bars, garlic peelers and a bunch of useless crud for sale that would be a complete waste of money. Never went back.
Not a bad shout. With the dick, balls and ass in separate compartments, the dyma-tex divider prevents any seepage. 😅
Absolutely agreed on gifts from mom & dad vs gifts from Santa! We filled stockings with smaller or more traditional/weird retro toys.
We weren't really well off, but did save up to splurge on the kids at Xmas. However, kids do compare notes when winter break is over and we didn't want to contribute to the wonder of why one household received an iPhone, a hoverboard, and an rc helicopter while just a block away Santa left a bag of marbles and a wooden puppet that gets excited when you pull its crotch string. Apple makes iPhones. Elves make puppets with weird fetishes. If there was a gift of some expensive electronic thing, mom & dad were taking their due credit.
I will say, here in Phoenix the sandstorms can sometimes be bad enough to warrant doggles for my GSD
Tbh I never got gifts from Santa. My mom made a day by day tiny gift thing, but it was from a nisse called Nis that was our personal nisse. When I was around 12 she wrote me a letter from Nis, where he explained that a new child needed him now and he had to move on. I knew it was my mom and I think she knew I knew too, but it was still so sweet ❤
Nisse/nis? I'm not familiar with this
@@Prosper_Deansame here is it a cultural practice or a family practice?I’d like to hear more.
@Jameson1776 from wikipedia:
A nisse (Danish: [ˈne̝sə], Norwegian: [ˈnɪ̂sːə]), tomte (Swedish: [ˈtɔ̂mːtɛ]), tomtenisse, or tonttu (Finnish: [ˈtontːu]) is a mythological creature from Nordic folklore today typically associated with the winter solstice and the Christmas season. They are generally described as being short, having a long white beard, and wearing a conical or knit cap in gray, red or some other bright colour. They often have an appearance somewhat similar to that of a garden gnome.
@@BadGamer- nice thank you for the research I should have just done it myself. But greatly appreciated.

With regards to Stainless-Steel Soap, Simon reported that "Chromium forms an oxide when it is in contact with air and water..." As a woodworker, I use chromium oxide in a compound to finely sharpen my steel tools as it is a very fine abrasive, fine enough to exfoliate without damaging skin. This knee-jerk-weird-sounding product may actually perform as it says on the tin.
My parents refused to buy us kids a pet rock so my very creative sister started making her own to give to all the kids who didn't get one, for free made to order (color, shape,eyes googly or painted etc) my whole town had them and not one was bought but made. We quickly seen the Stupidity of this product but every kid had one made by my sister on our school desk. My sisters first "Stick it to the man" move.
One person's "stick it to the man" is another person's blatant copyright infringement (the sincerest form of flattery).

I'm a chef and have been one for 20 years. The stainless thing works. Facet handles and spouts work the same if they are stainless 🤷♂️👌
A pet rock IS perfect for those bratty kids who constantly whine about wanting a pet but you know damn well they'd abuse or neglect it.
Also, as an aside, if you actually treat your cat well and not eff with it for shits and giggles, they're definitely affectionate, greet you when you get home and miss you when you're gone. My cat Verbal meows at me like she's in pain if I fail to go greet her within the first minute of coming in the door. If you only give attention to your cat when it comes seeking that attention, it will come seeking it a LOT.
Cats are so affectionate. One of the cats I had when I was in college would come running as soon as she heard my voice in my parents' house. She was such a cuddle bug. My roommate's cat greets me and her at the door, and she has a different little dance depending on who's coming in (we have a camera to see the dances, and we assume she hears the difference between our keychains).
Until they decide to ignore you for a week because you went away for the weekend. Guilt trip much.
I have 2 cats both boys they love me a ton and are very affectionate. Anyone who thinks cats aren't is a person who just htes cats.
@philippal8666 They do that because you hurt their feelings be being away too long, lol. That is literally the ONLY time my cat ignores me is if I was away from home too long, or if she sees me pet another cat. I just apologize with food and extra attention until I win her over again.
@Dragonmaster0118 Either hates them or mistreats them. Seen so many cat owners harass their cats and annoy them for laughs, then act like it's 'just what cats do" when their cat doesn't want anything to do with them.
I once had "pet socks". Yes, googly eyes. Yes awesome instuctions. As i recall, pet socks prefer a penthouse (i.e.. the top drawer of the dresser), warm baths with gentle soap. They prefered to be worn with the faces towards each other, for company and conversations, but the outer ankle was nice when going on adventures so they could see what was going on.
If you have stainless steel faucet, you can just rub your hands on that to see if works for you. It's not meant to replace soap, just help with the smell.
I bought an E-bike about 6 months ago, and I've already put 600 miles on it. I love it.
Love mine, i'm at around 35-40000 km it's absolutely amazing!
I'm on my 10th ebike as I have been a fan since trading in my dying moped for a Schwinn I-Ride when they first came out. Since I have every couple or few years gifted my thoroughly used bike to friends and family that I thought would enjoy an ebike and have yet to be totally wrong as many have bought additional units after using the gifted bike for a period of time. The reason I am buying new bikes every other year is because that is roughly the generational changes for the products, not that I'm buying bleeding edge technology, instead I shop from the bottom of the line in full sized adult bikes. You see every couple years the base model products get the latest and greatest, recently made inexpensive, new developments. First models were all lead acid batteries and 24 volt 200-300 watt systems with no cadence control, now the bottom of the line is lithium ion 48v 500-1000 watt with accelerator, pedal force sensors, lights, turn signals, suspension, back rack and a horn with an increased range almost ten times the original offerings at a similar price to what you paid way back when.
I'm looking into one to replace the gas bike I made back in 08..it was great at the time but it is noisy, not street legal where I am and mixing gas is annoying...
Stainless steel "soap" bars for removing the smell of fish from your hands have been around since before the internet, and indeed since before computers. The only thing that is important is to use COLD water. They really DO work too. I came across one in the kitchen of a holiday cottage on the Isle of Wight in about 1975. It was so effective (I caught and cooked a LOT of fish that holiday), I bought one for home. It took me nearly a a year to find one. The only difference was that the originals have a blunt "blade" running around the widest circumference.
Lmao the separate pockets for all your bits on the sheath underwear are hilarious
When I saw a bidet for dogs, that's when I realized people who have learned to market their dumbass inventions to pet owners are brilliant
The pet rocks were inspiration for the naming of the Commodore PET computer.
I really like his approach to Santa and who the presents came from.
When I was little I quickly worked out that if Santa was making these gift in his magical workshop, then the cost of the gift really shouldn't matter and I should be able to ask for really expensive toys which Santa would easily be able to provide.
This lead to my parents having to explain that Santa can only give gifts that your family can afford, which struck me as a bit odd.
Actually a spoon rubbed on hands will remove remove onion and other stone orders. The steel bar does work😊
Speaking of the 70 s one product that comes to my mind is the mood ring.
8:47 - My name has been utilized countless times on the internet, yet this is the first time someone has called me a dog...
Every Christmas I made sure all of my kids got one gift from " uncle Ted Kaczynski "
I could see the most viewed and most controversial Decoding The Unknown episode being Is Santa real and where does he get all the presents.
Doggles are great though. There is an illness common mainly in shepherds called Keratitis superficialis chronica, which makes them very sensitive to UV light. In those cases Doggles, or RexSpecs, are awesome. I used to work at a Vet specialised in ophthalmology, and we recommended them regularly
"Santa" gifts in my family are always from my Dad ❤️
He gets something little for everyone. Just little, inexpensive, but we all treasure that little gift every year
Yooo, the Oblivion clip! Stop making me appreciate y'all even more! I didn't know I could! 🤣
It’s actually great to make Santa gifts smaller because their friends’ parents might not have as much money :)
I'm 44 years old and still get presents from Santa! So long as I believe, my Mom keeps doing it! :D
We told our kids that Santa wasn't real from the very beginning. My husband said he hated the "Santa lie" as a kid so we just skipped it. I personally hate Christmas decorating and what not so our Christmases are really chill I guess you could say. Which is so nice.
It's important to give only small gifts from Santa because once the kid goes to school and talk with their friends, a pattern might emerge that Santa loves the rich kids more.
At one point in the 80s you could earn a pet keepers badge in Scouts Canada for keeping a pet rock. It wasn't as stupid as it sounds, though. It was meant for kids who couldn't have pets (apartments, allergies, etc) and there was an entire list of things they had to do to 'take care' of their rock, including bathing it and repainting its' face.
Dogs may not be as affected by uv, but they are suceptible to flying particles, so it is not the worst idea to protect their eyes if they are sticking their heads into a 85mph airstream.
I remember the pet rock from 1975. Some people thought the idea was clever. Most didn't. I'm willing to be that most of them were given as gifts at Christmas in 1975. They were something you could give someone who is impossible to shop for. We all have someone like that in our lives.
Oh no Simon, Green bean casserole is one of the only things that makes Thanksgiving tolerable for the non-drinker. It's wonderful.
13:00 i never liked the idea of starting my kids' lives with a massive annual lie
Same.
Gotta give credit to my mom who basically made Santa an anti-hero in my home. I had an older sister and older cousin, but despite them saying Santa wasn't real, I held on, thinking it was like Peter Pan: as long as you believed, he lived. Not getting credit for all the work she did setting up Santa's surprises probably irked her narcissist side to no end. She was probably grateful when I started asking, "If Santa makes these in his toy shop, why aren't all toys from him made of wood? why is it stuff I see on tv?" and she explained that he got the stuff from the stores. That made me ask, "then why doesn't he get the good stuff on my list? am I not good enough?" and she explained that it was because her and daddy had to give Santa the money to get it. When I asked about how they got all wrapped up, it finally broke down into "Santa gets the list, tells us, we buy everything, get it here, wrap it, and set it up." It was the 70s - nothing was getting delivered anywhere. So, in my mind, Santa was this crazy old guy who manipulated adults into teaching their kids he was magical and to love him and took all the credit for the hard work and sacrifice of parents. Scared me to wonder how he'd manage to control the whole world (as I knew it) into supporting this lie and that he could find anyone anywhere and get into their homes at any time on Christmas Eve/day. Yeah, mom bust that bubble hard!
While my mother-in-law was alive we called her the queen of ASOTV (as seen on TV), she had a machine for everything, even for making hot cocoa.
Nothing beats a hot cocoa made in a pot on the stove.
Partly because that pot can do more than just make cocoa for the 50 bucks you pay. Like what does the machine do that the pot doesn't? Stir itself? That's the only thing it can be, right?

The single gift from Santa is what my parents always did. I really liked the way it worked out, it was something special but I got to share the rest with my family.
When I was a kid, the stockings were "from Santa" but the actual presents under the tree were from Mum and Dad.
Coming back after 4 years and Dave is still held in the basement, Great!!
Now he is in diapers
I was a chef in a previous life. The metal soap bar works. It sops your eyes watering if you leave it next to the chopping board while you chop onions as well.
Riiiigghhhht. Kitchen full of stainless everything, but a little bar does so much more.
The whole dog situation...
I'm voting for Simon on that one!
5:07 Can’t claim to know where the scientific variable lies, but *a quick stainless steel rub DOES remove the scent persists way past soaps on MANY people’s skin after handling garlic/onion juice* - it shouldn’t be shaped like soap it *complements,* tho, but in a way to easily reach under the nails and between fingers.
_(I think it was accidentally discovered by someone noticing the absence of post-soap lingering scent on the one finger they’d used to scrub something off their stainless steel sink.)_
Doggles can actually help keep dogs who have eye injuries or who have had surgery from scratching at their eyes. Of course, you can also buy an plastic cone.
*Cone of shame
I love Simon's approach to Christmas gifts with his kids. While I'm not a parent, I was a child once. While I certainly got all sorts of lovely toys and coats around Christmastime, I remember seeing all of the kids around me getting electronics and stuff and wondering why Santa hated me lol
All that to say, I think it was a really wonderful idea to have most things come from mom and/or dad and, if Santa is celebrated in your family, having something small come from Santa!
In my country, we have Sinterklaas (the OG Santa - that's not a joke, Santa is an amalgam of Sinterklaas and Father Christmas made in the USA) on december 6 and Christmas on the 24th. So the 6th is for toys, candy and stuff the kids like, and the 24th is primarily for stuff the parents think the kids need - what I have received most for Christmas is new clothes and shoes. 😅
@trishapellis that sounds awesome! It's seperate and also kids must love double presents lol
Can I ask which country this is?
Stainless steel works to remove the smells, but you’re supposed to use it after washing your hands. Most people just run their hands on a stainless steel kitchen appliance after washing their hands to cut the smell. It’s like using a lemon based hand soap to cut the smell of shellfish from your hands
I have a blind Akita and would love a pair of doggels for him, I’m always worried about bushes etc. and he still loves to explore! Fun episode.❤🇨🇦
the cuts to unhinged Simon are why i keep coming back
Wait, was I the only person who put a pillow case next to my bed as a kid on Christmas morning, to awake to it jam full of fun stuff before I even got to opening presents.
That was one of the best bits. The wrapped presents were from mum and dad, but Santa filled the pillow case and just happened to know everything I liked.
Came for the tangents with a script by Dave, stayed for the pet rock.
There was JD in that sippy cup (not catman vance). You were wasted. And your shirt is dirty. IT WAS HILARIOUS!!!!! More drunk Simon! We need a drunk Simon channel!! 3 thumbs up from our house!! (it's all we have)
8:40 "you don't get much love back from a rock." Simon, as a geologist, I can tell you this is false.
There are child psychologists who don't recommend having "Santa" being an especially prominent aspect of gifts for children since it can lead to some children from families with less disposable income becoming convinced that Santa doesn't care about them or that they were "bad", a consequence of such a bombastic narrative blended with materialism.
When my father was 7. He saved up his allowance for a month to buy a Fart in a Jar. Once he opened the jar, there was a small brown piece of paper that's said "Oops you let it out" Gotta love the early 1970s. 😂😂😂
When I was a small child, I asked my mom if Santa is real. She said no, but it's fun to pretend that he is. I said, "Oh, okay" and that was that. No fuss, no sense of betrayal when I learned that I had been lied to, none of that nonsense. People, there's no reason to lie to your kids. Telling them the truth won't ruin their childhoods and won't ruin the "magic" of Christmas. Just give them fun toys and let them get sick on candy, and they will be just fine.
Anybody else love the irony of a British person telling Americans that their food is bad?
The stainless soap absolutely works. But you don't need to buy a stainless thing if you've got a stainless sink. Try rubbing your hands on the stainless sink next time you chop garlic or onions because it's basically magic and gets rid of the smell immediately.
When my oldest son came home with a letter from school, offering calls from Santa, it gave me a much better idea.
After my brother agreed, I went into my contacts and changed his name to Santa Claus, then I waited .
One evening about a week before Christmas, when the kids were being particularly resistant to bedtime, I decided to implement the plan. I texted my brother, and walked into their bedroom, with my phone in my pocket.
When it rang, I answered and told the kids it was for them. We did this for years, leaving no doubt that 🎶"He knows if you've been bad or good, so be good for goodness sake."🎶
I grew up without Santa. Why do mum and dad buy birthday presents and some random fat white man in snow brings us Christmas presents in the middle of the tropics? 😂😂
Simon, how much caffeine is in that drink?? You're visibly vibrating in parts of the video, hahahahahaha

6:18 brain blaze is now an ASMR channel of Simon mukbanging different beverages.
I grew up in a large old (1870's) house that had 4 fireplaces, (living room, dining room and two of the largest of the 5 bedrooms.) Santa picking the wrong flue could have landed him in me and my brothers room as we shared one of the bedrooms with a fireplace!
Trust Simon to not want to attribute any presents to Santa because he doesn't like giving anyone else the credit 😂
I've been considering getting some Doggles for my 15-year-old terrier.
I've noticed that lately, when he comes inside out of the bright, desert
sun, he's as blind as a bat for 20 minutes. I think sunnies would help
him out.
So one thing about the Doggles, my wife's dog actually got her cornea lacerated by grit when sticking her head out of the window which lead to an expensive surgery; dog goggles likely would have been a more cost effective option (IF they work)
Learn to love the rock. Pet it . Embrace it. If you love something, set it ftee ! If it comes back ? It's yours forever. If it doesn't ? It never really was.
Ok. I know this is an old video, but I have two comments nonetheless
1) My children know that Santa Claus isn't a real person, but as I explained it to them; Santa is not a physical person, no, but it's an idea. You go to bed with nothing (or very little) under the tree and (like magic) when you wake up Christmas morning the room is filled with gifts for you as if someone left them there overnight. The idea of Santa is what makes it so much fun for kids
2) At 15:09 that is a CHICKEN wish bone and not one from a turkey. I know from years of experience of breaking down both roasted chickens and turkeys

Food for thought about that "soap": When it comes to looking at what part of washing actually does the most to clean your hands, that action is shown to be the scrubbing action you make with some type of aid like a brush or whatnot. Soap just makes that do a better job. With that in mind, perhaps using this "soap" would result in people scrubbing with it under running water for a longer time then if they just used the water itself. Which would probably be a benefit... Though not one big enough to actually replace soap and a brush.
Note, I'm talking about results from actual published experiments when it comes to what part of washing produces the biggest results.
