New Video Alert: Testing 3 Drink Gadgets!

Today’s review features three interesting drink gadgets, one of which is literally a straw made of ice. It's a fun, weird mix of products, and I had a good time putting them to the test. I also just posted a new vlog with behind-the-scenes footage from this video, plus some random thoughts on everything from Instagram comments to Blue’s Clues. If you’ve got a few minutes, I think you’ll enjoy both.

NEW VIDEO ALERT 📽️
Three Drink Gadgets!

In this review, I put three drink-related gadgets to the test, starting with one that immediately caught my eye: a mold that makes a straw out of ice. It’s a fun idea for summer, but how long does it actually last before melting into your drink?

I also tried out a bottle opener that claims to help anyone easily twist off caps (including people with arthritis), and finally, I tested Bottle Bright cleaning tablets on some of the grimiest cups I could find at a thrift store.

It was a fun, and at times surprising, review. If you’re looking to level up your drink game, check out today’s video here:

DEALS 🏷️
Panasonic Body Hair Trimmer: 19% Off

With Father’s Day coming up, here’s a gift idea that’s actually useful. Most guys don’t think to buy a body hair trimmer, but they come in handy for everything, from ears to the unmentionables. I’ve used Panasonic’s trimmers for years and always found them solid. This one’s currently marked down into a more reasonable price range.

Meta Ray-Ban Glasses – 20% Off
The AR glasses wave is slowly building, and Meta is among the frontrunners. These are the updated Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses, not the early version I reviewed 4 years ago, and they’ve made some nice improvements. They’re 20% off right now and could make a pretty cool Father’s Day gift if you want to go high-tech.

Coolify Air Neck Fan – 27% Off
I still use my Coolify2 from a couple of years ago, and this newer model (the Coolify Air) looks even better. It offers both cooling and heating, so it’s not just for summer. At 27% off, it’s a solid deal, whether for Dad or yourself.

Try a Damp Coffee Filter for Dust-Free Tables
If you’ve got a wood or glass table that always seems to collect dust, try this: lightly dampen a coffee filter and use it as a dusting cloth. Coffee filters are lint-free, so you won’t leave behind fuzz like paper towels or fabric rags sometimes do. They grab dust surprisingly well, and you can just toss them afterward.

ON THIS DATE 🗓️
Wish vs As Seen on TV (2018)

The last time I posted a video on June 8 was back in 2018, when I compared several items from Wish that were marketed as legit As Seen on TV products. I had the real versions on hand, and as you might expect, most of the Wish versions were cheap knockoffs or outright counterfeits. My channel was still evolving at the time, but it’s fun to look back at that comparison and see how the once-mighty Wish held up (spoiler: not well).

LATEST VLOG
Vlog 16: Instagram & Blue’s Clues?

Yesterday I posted my latest public vlog (#16), which includes some behind-the-scenes moments from today’s drink gadget review, plus a mix of random thoughts on everything from Instagram comments to YouTube success coaches, and even a curious detail about Blue’s Clues. It’s only 8 minutes long, but there’s a lot packed in there. If you’re watching today’s review, make sure to pair it with this one to see what was happening when the cameras weren’t rolling.
