👉 Today’s video on Freakin’ Reviews features three quirky Amazon gadgets put to the test.

NEW VIDEO ALERT 📽️
3 Quirky Amazon Finds!

Strange things I found on Amazon

My latest video is live, and today I’m testing three quirky Amazon finds that range from practical to just plain bizarre!

Here’s what I tested:
🍋 Pasta Lemon Squeezer: A lemon squeezer shaped like pasta! Cute, but does it squeeze?
🖇️ Hand-Crank Paper Shredder: A compact, manual shredder. Is it useful or just a hassle?
 Projection Alarm Clock: Is Amazon’s #1 best seller worth the hype?

Click below to see how these gadgets performed and find out which ones (if any) earned a spot in my rotation, or wound up in the Boneyard!

DEALS 🏷️
🍦 Zeroll Ice Cream Scoop: 22% Off

This isn’t just about the discount (though 22% off is nice), it’s about availability! I regularly track hundreds of products I’ve reviewed, and this one is always going out of stock. It’s back and marked down, so grab it while you can! One tip: Keep it out of the dishwasher to avoid discoloration.

🫙 EZ Off Jar Opener: 11% Off
A staple in my kitchen and one of my mom’s all-time favorite gadgets. This under-cabinet jar opener makes stubborn lids a thing of the past. It’s at the low end of its price range right now, so if you’ve been thinking about picking one up, now’s the time!

UGreen Charger: 35% Off
Here’s a funny one… this fast charger was supposed to be reviewed, but I ended up needing it before I could even film! It’s a sleek, reliable way to level up your charging setup, and right now it’s a steal. Bonus: It even has a bit of a “cute” factor!

Prevent fridge smells!
Place a cotton ball soaked in vanilla extract in the fridge for a subtle fresh scent.

NEW FROM FREAKIN’ 2 🍬
A Sweet Trip Down Memory Lane 🍬

Does it taste like I remember?

The Freakin’ 2 channel is back with my latest food review, and this one’s a sugar-coated blast from the past! I’m traveling back to the 1960s to revisit some of the most popular candies from my childhood, most of which I haven’t tasted in over 50 years.

Do these treats live up to my fond memories, or have they lost their charm? Sit back, relax, and join me as I (probably) overdose on sugar in the name of nostalgia!

COLLABORATION 🎥
Eating Freeze Dried Food & Bugs!

This video took an odd turn!

I teamed up with my friend Gary from Unbox Analysis for a fun collaboration video! Together, we put the Jetboil to the test and sampled several freeze-dried foods. But here’s the twist—Gary didn’t know I had a surprise dish of my own to throw into the mix.

This collaboration was filmed out at beautiful Lake Mead here in Nevada, and it’s packed with great gadgets, food tests, and a little unexpected fun. Don’t miss it!

SMART SHOPPING 🛒
Three Tips for Wiser Shopping

Be Strategic About Free Trials. When signing up for a free trial, set a calendar reminder for the day before it ends. This ensures you don’t get charged unexpectedly. Consider using virtual cards to avoid accidental charges entirely.

Negotiate Large Purchases. Old-school haggling still exists! Don’t be afraid to haggle on big-ticket items like furniture, appliances, or electronics, especially if you're buying multiple items. In-store sales associates often have the flexibility to offer discounts or free add-ons.

Leverage Price Matching Policies. Many retailers offer price-matching guarantees, either with competitors or their own sales. Keep an eye on prices for a few days after your purchase, and request a refund if the price drops. Make sure you know the store's policy timeframe for claiming this benefit.

That’s a Wrap! 🎬

Thanks for joining me for another packed week of reviews, deals, and collaborations! Whether it’s quirky Amazon finds, nostalgic candy, or a lakeside gadget test, I hope you found something fun and interesting. Don’t forget to check out the latest videos and let me know what you think. Until next time—stay curious and keep exploring!

Until next time,
