New Video Alert: Strange Foods, Fresh Deals, and a 5-Year Flashback!
Weird foods, smart buys, and a flashback to my whiskey ice wedge review. It’s all packed into today’s quick update.

Just a quick check-in today with a few fun updates! I’ve got a brand-new Freakin' 2 video full of weird and wild food, a few deals I didn’t want you to miss, and a look back at a video I posted exactly five years ago. Let’s jump in!
FREAKIN’ 2 📽️
My Strangest Buffet Yet!
In my latest Freakin’ 2 video, I went a little overboard... I put together a bizarre buffet featuring Butterfinger Salted Caramel, Sprite Chill, Totino’s Cheese Pizza Ramen, glow-in-the-dark Capri Sun, fried chicken candy, Starbucks Energy Drinks, and yes an edible scorpion. 🦂
I didn’t just taste these, I blended them, stacked them, compared them, and even subjected my taste buds to flavors I wish I could forget. (Looking at you, fried chicken candy and scorpion...)
Come join me as I try new drinks, strange snacks, and questionable choices in what might be my weirdest taste test yet!
DEALS 🏷️
Ninja Crispi Liners: 31% Off

If you’re using the Ninja Crispi, this may be a product for you. These liners allow you to keep the interior in pristine condition while crisping up your favorite meals. It’s a relatively new accessory for us Crispi owners, but the early reviews look promising. At only about $9, I will be picking up some for myself.
Puppy Bubbles: 30% Off
You may recall my review of these bubbles last summer (see here), and Bailey was quite fond of them. If your pooch is bored, these are a great option to have a bit of fun in between activities. At 30% off, they are priced to sell.
Supvan Label Maker: 43% Off
This is one of my most-used products over the past year and it’s once again on the lowest end of its range. This limited time deal knocks 43% off the normal price, and from what I can tell it ping pongs back and forth between its high and low every couple months. Get it while it’s on the cheap before it goes back up.
ON THIS DATE 🗓️
Ice Wedge Glass (2020)
Exactly five years ago today, I reviewed the Whiskey Wedge Glass, a sleek little gadget that forms a diagonal wedge of ice in your glass for a classy look and a slower melt. It worked pretty well, but I also found that a simple DIY hack came surprisingly close.
This was back in early 2020, when we were all stuck inside, hoarding toilet paper, baking bread... and apparently, perfecting our whiskey presentation. Let’s raise a glass to the start of the decade, when even our ice had to look cool.
📺 There’s still time to enter my April Giveaway! This month I’m giving away an updated model of the Cuisinart coffee maker that I use every day. It typically runs about $100, so this is no cheap-o prize! The giveaway ends late on April 30, so jump in now if you haven’t already.
That’s it for this quick edition: short but packed with some good stuff. Let me know if you end up trying any of the deals (or any strange foods... preferably not scorpions).
Thanks for reading and for being part of the Freakin’ community! I’ll be back soon with more.
Until next time,
James
