š Tiny Products Tested: Big Fun or Big Fail?
New reviews, weird snacks, and a Q&A you donāt want to miss!

Itās been a busy week, and Iāve got some fun new videos, weird taste tests, and even a fresh Q&A to share with you! From testing tiny products (some cool, some... not so much) to trying new Peeps flavors and questionable coffee experiments, thereās plenty to check out. Plus, I dug up a few Amazon deals that might be worth a look.

NEW VIDEO ALERT š½ļø
Testing Tiny Gadgets!
My latest video is live, and this time Iām diving into three tiny novelties to see if they deliver big fun or just big frustration!
Here's what I tested:
š¹ļø Tiny Arcade (Atari 2600): Retro gaming in miniature form. Nostalgic joy or annoyingly small?
š¦ Tiny Ice Cream Maker: Adorable idea, but is it sweet fun or just 30 minutes of torture for one tiny scoop?
šļø Magnatab: A low-tech sensory toy that clicks and satisfies. Surprisingly addictive or quickly forgettable?
Click below to find out which tiny treasures delivered and which left me wishing I'd skipped the miniature trend!
If you donāt have time to watch, you can always read the written version here.
DEALS š·ļø
š ļøGrip N Flip Set: 50% Off

Iāve been using these hybrid spatula-tongs (originally marketed as āGrip N Flipā) for a while now. While theyāre not quite as magical as the infomercials made them seem, I do find myself reaching for them with certain dishes, especially items like hamburgers. Right now, this set of two Grip N Flips plus a utensil rest is half off for just $7. Thatās a price worth flipping over!
š„Ø Frito-Lay Snack Mix ā 24% Off
With all the snack taste tests happening over on Freakinā 2, Iāve been keeping an eye out for good snack deals. This 50-pack features a mix of favorites like Sun Chips, Fritos, and Grandmaās Cookies, and itās currently 24% off. With over 100,000 ratings and a #1 Best Seller badge in Snack Food Gifts, this oneās a solid pantry stock-up!
š¾ Pet Ramp ā 6% Off
Iāve purchased this pet ramp three times for a loved one, and Iād do it again. A 6% discount might not sound huge, but according to my trackers, this is the lowest price itās been in months. If you have small dogs or cats that need a safe way up and down from furniture, this oneās worth a look!
Stop Doors from Slamming!
Stick a few felt pads (the kind used for chair legs) along the door frame to soften the impact and prevent loud slams.
NEW FREAKINā 2 šļø
A Peak at New Peeps in 2025!
Over on Freakin' 2, things got sugary and slightly weird as I tackled all the new Peeps flavors for 2025. Are any of them better than the original? Plus, I tested Cinnamon Toast Crunch Iced Coffee alongside an actual bowl of cereal with coffee poured right in. Did I discover something delicious or just ruin breakfast forever?

MONTHLY Q&A šļø
MARCH 2025 Q&A!
In case you missed it, I just released my latest Q&A video earlier this week! I tackled nearly 30 viewer-submitted questions, including which celebrity I went to high school with, my choice of "As Seen on TV" gadget to fend off an alien invasion (yes, really), and even responded (lightheartedly, of course!) to a brutal attack on my beloved sunglasses.

šŗ Tiny Deep Dive! If todayās video has you hankering for more tiny product reviews, look no further than the Freakinā Reviews archive! Back in 2020 I tested out six tiny flashlights, and more recently I checked out a one INCH TV!
SMART SHOPPING š
Three Tips for Wiser Shopping
Join Local āBuy Nothingā Groups: Many communities have groups where people give away unwanted items for free. You might find household goods, clothes, and even electronics.
Be Wary of āAmazonās Choiceā: This badge doesnāt always mean itās the best product. Itās often based on an algorithm favoring sponsored products or high sales. Read reviews carefully.
Look at the Bottom Shelf: Stores often place the most expensive products at eye level. Scan lower shelves for generic or store-brand versions at a fraction of the cost.
Thatās it for this update! Whether youāre here for the product reviews, the wild food experiments, or just hanging out for the deals, I appreciate you checking in. Let me know what you think of the latest videos, and if you come across any weird (or awesome) products I should try next, feel free to send them my way.
Until next time, stay curious, stay skeptical, and Iāll see you next time!
