I'm back with another batch of gadgets, this time tackling drink-related gear that's supposed to make life easier (and cleaner). Plus, Freakin’ 2 dropped a new video earlier this week. We'll also take a nostalgic look back at a quirky review from four years ago, and I've rounded up a few of today's best Amazon deals you won't want to miss. Grab a coffee or juice (carefully!) and let's dive in!

NEW VIDEO ALERT 📽️
Testing Unique Drink Gadgets!

Let’s try some unique drink gadgets for coffee, juice, and spills!

My latest video is live, and this time I'm testing three popular kitchen gadgets, each promising convenience, but do they really deliver?

Here's what's on tap:

☕ Mini Q Coffee Maker: Compact and quick, promising fresh coffee in under two minutes. But is speed worth the quirks?

🍊 Elite Gourmet Citrus Juicer: Electric juicing sounds effortless, but is it really easier than doing it manually?

💦 Amazing Lid: Supposedly spill-proof silicone lids for mugs and cups. A clever solution or a messy mistake?

Click below to watch and see which gadgets stood out, and which ones spilled the beans!

DEALS 🏷️
🪒Fusion5 Refills: 19% Off

I've been using the Gillette Fusion5 razor since my initial review back in 2017, and it's still my go-to razor today (although I’ve gone through a couple of different handles over the years). Sure, the blades might seem pricey at first glance, but each cartridge easily lasts me several weeks, outperforming cheaper blades significantly. Fun fact: my last Amazon order for these was exactly one year ago today, meaning one refill set lasted me a full year! Naturally, I just stocked up again at today's 19% discount.

🍳 Breville Smart Oven: 20% OFF
Breville products rarely disappoint me, and their Smart Oven is no exception. Right now, it's the cheapest I've seen in at least three months, 20% off translates to around $70 in savings. If you've been considering upgrading your countertop oven, this deal is worth checking out.

👕 6-Tier Hanging Closet Organizer: 25% OFF
I'm serious when I say every closet in my home has at least one of these, and some closets even have two. They're perfect for maximizing vertical space, organizing clothing, or tidying up supplies. At 25% off, they're just over $10 each, which is a solid buy for anyone looking to declutter.

FREAKIN’ 2
KFC Mashed Potato Poppers

Would Col. Sanders like these?

Earlier this week I dropped my latest Freakin’ 2 video, taking a closer look at the new KFC Mashed Potato Poppers. I gave them a taste, pondered if Col. Sanders would actually like them, and made a similar crispy mashed potato recipe of my own.

ON THIS DATE 🗓️
Tasty Tabs (2021)

Scratch & Sniff Brain Tricks?

Four years ago today, I reviewed Tasty Tabs, those quirky little stickers that promised to boost your drink's flavor through scent alone. Did they actually trick my brain into tasting something better? Not quite. But surprisingly, Tasty Tabs are still around, so maybe some noses out there are easier to fool than mine!

SMART SHOPPING 🛒
Three Tips for Wiser Shopping

Check Loyalty Programs for Free Shipping Perks. Some memberships, like Walmart+ or Target Circle, waive shipping costs for frequent shoppers.

Search for “Hidden Deals” Using Google. Sometimes using search terms like “promo codes,” “clearance,” or “last chance sale” + the store name will uncover discounts.

Ask About Store Closeout Sales. When stores close or relocate, they often liquidate inventory at steep discounts.

SHORT SPOTLIGHT 🎥
Temu Blinking Glasses

This week’s Short Spotlight is for the bizarre Temu blinking glasses I tried out recently. While I can’t say I was a fan, and they never even worked properly (one eye kept sticking), the goofy product did admittedly work well in a humorous short-form content.

If you haven’t seen that short, you can check it out here.

If you never caught the full video, you can check that out here.

That's a wrap for today! Whether you're brewing, juicing, or just looking to snag a solid deal, I hope you found something useful in today's roundup. As always, thanks so much for following along. If you have suggestions, comments, or ideas for future reviews, hit reply and let me know.

Until next time,
