March is here and we can now set our sights on St. Patrick’s Day, Easter, and the arrival of Spring. But before we get ahead of ourselves, I have some gadgets to check out first! I’m back online with my latest video testing out gadgets that promise to solve longtime problems. I’ve also got fresh Amazon deals, my latest F2 vlog, and more. Let’s dive in!

In today’s video, I test three products that supposedly solve everyday annoyances: a peanut butter spreader that attaches to the lid of the jar, a multi-use kitchen gadget that holds pot lids and works as a trivet, and a glow bar that never needs batteries.

The big question is if any of these actually solve problems that haven’t already been solved?

One of them worked surprisingly well. One kind of worked… but felt more trouble than it was worth. And one was oddly satisfying even if it didn’t really replace anything.

Don’t have time to watch? Read my full written review here.

I’ve revived mattresses that felt like planks by simply adding a decent mattress topper. This deal is for a popular topper (132k ratings!) that is at the low end of its typical price range. The savings varies by size, but most sizes are currently marked down.

I’m a fan of Shark vacuums and this model is currently on sale from its usual price of around $300. It’s especially of interest to pet owners, as it features a no hair wrap feature, along with several attachments.

You may recall my review of this speaker from mid-2025. It’s still something I use on occasion when I want to hear my surroundings but keep my music close by. I paid $100 for it, but it’s currently marked down to $60.

If you have a bag of chips that has gone limp, you may be able to bring them back to life in 30–60 seconds using your microwave.

Spread the chips out on a paper towel or plate and microwave them for about 30 seconds. If they still feel a little soft, give them another 10–15 seconds. The heat drives out the moisture that made them stale, which restores their crunch.

Let them cool for a minute before eating, as they will crisp up even more as they cool.

This trick works well with potato chips, tortilla chips, crackers, and cheese puffs.

It won’t save chips that are really old, but for those that just went soft overnight, it can make them edible again!

Exactly three years ago today I tested out the Dash Mini Donut maker, a clever little appliance that created somewhat convincing donuts using cake mix and heat. Although it may not give Krispy Kreme a run for its money, it wasn’t completely without merit. If you never caught the original review, check it out at the link below.

My latest vlog over on Freakin’ 2 includes the usual stream of random thoughts, dog time, and my latest taste test: putting Vegemite on an In N Out burger. Admittedly, I’m a huge fan of both, but how well do they pair? Check out the video at the link below to find out.
