April is here and it’s Easter Weekend! Before you jump into any festivities, check out the latest Freakin’ Reviews Update video that just dropped this morning. My 64th update takes a look back at 10 products from a year ago to see where they ended up! I also have a new F2 taste test and a flashback to 3 years ago today. Let’s dive in!

My 64th update video has just been published. If you somehow missed any of the first 63 updates, this is where I revisit 10 reviews from a year ago and let you know what happened when the cameras went off: Did I keep using them, donate them, give them away, or toss ‘em in the Boneyard? Some of the highlights include the Ninja Swirl, Klydoclock, two items that ended up on my Worst of 2025 countdown!

Spring is here and it’s time to start looking at warm-weather clothing! These Adidas shorts typically sell for as much as $60 but they’re currently under $30. Keep an eye on the color, as that does affect price. This sale probably won’t last long.

Have you jumped on the pickleball bandwagon yet? If so, this could be a worthy upgrade. This carbon fiber paddle typically runs about $100 but it’s nearly half off in this limited time deal. Note that Amazon lists this as a product customers usually keep.

You may recall my review of this phone mount a few years back. I ended up giving it away and it’s still in use! When you consider the price and the function, this is still a great phone holder for the car. If you want to see it in action, here’s my review or you can read my review here.

If you have charging cables that are constantly falling behind your desk, clip a medium binder clip to the edge of the desk and run the cable through the metal arms. It keeps the cable in place, easy to grab, and prevents that annoying “reach behind and fish it out” routine.

It also works great for headphone cables, USB cords you unplug frequently, or even keeping a phone charger positioned right where you want it

Yesterday I posted my latest Freakin’ 2 vlog, which not only covers the usual daily musings, but three taste tests of new products: Jack in the Box’s Dr. Pepper Strawberries & Cream Shake, Mr. Pibb Thrillin’ Vanilla, and Gluten-Free Cheez-Its. It’s yet another wide variety of topics and flavors to fill a 15-minute vlog.

On this date three years ago I dropped my review of the Blade Blocker, which was an updated version of the As Seen on TV “ID Police” privacy gadget. Even though it was updated, I still found it to be a pretty poor security measure.

Don’t have time to watch the review, you can read my written review here.
