Dude I really think you should do a little more research on the stuff that you review like the the Snack & drink cup at least 80% of people out there know that the lil permanent ring at the end of the straw isn't a stop for the rubber tube that slips on to the staw! It's meant to go down into the bottom of the cup so the straw won't accidentally pull out and make a mess and or possibly lose it. In short it is a "straw stop". I to live here in Sin city and have watched many of your reviews and I have noticed that you are wrong or just don't know what some things are for, that can't be that hard to know what you are reviewing. Just do some research on the products first then tell us about it that way people won't be mislead on whatever you're reviewing just saying. Now that's all I have to say about that. ✌🏻😎

I explained how expensive they were... He just thought they were easily replaceable. Unfortunately he thought that often, and I learned to do my own seperate walk-through ANY time we moved.

I'm on the fence about the paper towel holder. There is always a bottle of spray cleaner on my counter right next to the paper towel holder, for the obvious reason, so having that integrated would make things so much nicer looking. But I did notice how you had to pull it out from under the cabinet to get the spray bottle out, and that's inconvenient, plus the price point IMO is about double what it should be. Still, I like the aesthetic.

Surely if you hadn't put the McD's cup inside the other cup, the straw would've gone down further to prevent crumbs getting through, right? I would expect the straw to be the exact right length to reach the bottom and the little ring thing to fit snug in the bottom of the snack bowl portion. If not, that's horrible design.

I remember buying battery adapters years ago. Have no idea where they are now though. $70 for a paper towel holder with a spray thingy is too rich for my blood.

I've had a couple of phone holders very similar to the phone wristband, though I've never used them on my wrist. I put the phone on my upper arm while I'm running. The thing I really like about this style of phone holder is that it works with any phone, with or without a case. Even if you have two different phones, you can just use the same holder. It also doesn't cover the screen so there aren't any issues using the phone while it's in the holder. I'm on my second one now after using the first one for over 4 years before it finally broke. I agree that it feels like you're about to tear apart the rubber, but it holds up a lot better than you think it will. There are several Amazon listings for the same type of product and I can't guarantee that they're all the same quality, but they do seem to be basically identical.

The ridge on the straw in the drink/snack cup should be on the bottom (in the drink, not sticking out of the top). The idea is to keep the straw from being pulled out. Slide the silicone part of the straw down to to seal the gap, that way no crumbs will end up in the drink.

The bonus of those battery is that if the battery goes bad it's not going to corrode the rest of the inside of your electronic.

I have the paper towel dispenser. Minus the pump spray. Bought it at Costco about 5 years ago for about $30. The compression arm hasn't been present for a few years now and the base started to rust. If it had been built to a higher quality I could definitely recommend it.

I have the Simple Human paper towel thingie, but not the cleaner insert version. I received it from my son who’d gotten it for his own home, but because they use Viva paper towels, it was useless (the towel just tears). We’re a Bounty household, so it’s awesome!

I've had ideas for wrist/arm-mounting a phone for like a decade now, and I wonder if it would work a bit better having the phone on the inside of your arm instead of the outside. That's always been my mental vision of it. It would be a lot easier to answer a phone call that way as well if you needed too. Then again if you have headphones or bluetooth earbuds with a mic I guess you don't really need to hold it to your head anyway. You also wouldn't need to reach over and rotate it as often since it's easier to just do that with your arm if it's on the inside compared to the outside.

Yup my first thought as well was trying to see if anyone else had this idea. Only thing I’m not sure of is how easy it would be to strap it on that way. I’m not picturing in my mind but hopefully he can update video and try it.

That wrist strap for your phone is something I wish I could give to everyone who tells me "I don't need a watch, I have a phone." The difference is, I don't have to turn my watch "on". Love the content, as always. Keep up the great work!
@Gamer3427 2 ай бұрын
In fairness, generally when people say that it's more along the lines of "why buy a second product just to tell time, when you're probably always carrying your phone anyhow with a built in clock". Checking your wrist watch is only marginally quicker than getting your phone out of your pocket, and it is a second thing to carry around/put on every day. I say this who specifically got a nice watch several years ago and did use it for quite a while. It's just that unless you just "want to", there's not much benefit of getting one over just checking your phone outside of certain specific niches such as if your work place doesn't allow you to have your phone out and doesn't have a clock nearby.

@@BrunodeSouzaLino I think you need a new watch! Heck, most of mine don't use batteries! Then again, left on a table they would only run for about 2 days...an untouched fully charged phone would certainly be fine for more than 2 days, but then is it even a phone?

The good news when you get stuck in the waiting area of a fast food joint is that you’ll be getting something freshly made, rather than something that’s been sitting under the heat lamp for Lord knows how long. I’m always REALLY happy when I have to wait for fries because they come out hot and crispy rather than sad and saggy. LOL.

With this kind of paper towel holder it's easier if you tear towards the arm than away from it, you did that with the last vertical paper towel holder too. (And that one didn't have a springy arm, so it was worse.)

the battery adapters are great! you won't get as much play time from a device, but for things that only take a couple batteries a year (like remotes) it sure beats buying a set of AA's JUST for the ONE remote, y'know?
