If the ad reads are to be believed, he only ever cooks with HelloFresh, which I feel safe assuming only sends minced garlic or garlic powder in their boxes. I refuse to send $10/serving on food I have to cook myself so I’ll never know.
I can't tell if he genuinely has never seen a garlic press before or if he's just pretending like he hasn't for the sake of the video and buying this item but either way garlic presses are so normal in the US, a lot of people I know have 2.
@@thehousecat93i used to Get Hello Fresh, and no, none of the ingredients are pre cut except for the spices. It would drag the price up an unnecessary amount to cut every item (and at that point, just get delivery food lol)
@@yesitsmeagain5511 little pouches of minced garlic, like you can get in the grocery store usually in glass jars, wouldn’t be much more expensive than whole. Probably keep better/longer as the jars are shelf-stable until opened. I assume they use the industrial version of the garlic press to mince ungodly amounts of garlic at once. I like cooking and love garlic but can’t stand mincing it; I’ve found those glass jars are as good as fresh if you’re just using the garlic as a base aromatic.
my favorite things about moving to the UK was realizing how much the brits thought we were both very advanced and very behind but we pretty much have the same shit
The most bizarre and funny part of this video wasn't any of the items he bought, it was the fact that he had never heard of a garlic press and was tricked into buying one for twice as much as they usually cost
to be fair I think most garlic press you still have to remove the garlic skin first, so this one has one (1) extra special feature. Which did not work.
@@creepydude94 I guess, but mine works even with the peel. It just wastes a bit of the garlic since it gets stuck behind with the peel so I only do it if I’m in a rush. And you have to remove the peel before the next clove so I guess that’s inconvenient too
I like how there are three categories of products here: - straight-up scams - stuff that's probably meant for disabled people - completely normal items that Drew has somehow never seen before
I’m still stuck on the fact that drew has apparently been mincing garlic by hand chopping it into tiny pieces his entire life, and never once thought that there had to be a better way
any real chef or home cooking enthusiast typically smashes a clove with the flat of the blade ideally, though that part isn't necessary, then dices or minces with a regular ol chef knife. Even in huge restaurant quantities not only do I have much more precision and control over the quality of the final product, I'm typically a good deal faster, work in a kitchen full time for 5, 10+ years and it's almost impossible not to pick up decent nice skills, same with cooking for yourself and/or others at home regularly for years with any real degree of enthusiasm. Rarely are any of those kitchen gadgets efficient in any form unless you just lack basic kitchen skills, which is why among people and places where food is prepared for a living, you're rarely gonna find these beyond fast food level, with a smattering of the extra bullshit corporate joints like Applebee's and Buffalo Wild Wings. But they also use specially designed microwaves where it's nuked from 4 seperate microwave emitters in various interior walls/panels instead of one like most home ones, so they can guarantee it only takes a minute max to ass blast those "premium" dishes into a steaming pile of...culinary delight. soo :p
@@suepposedly8641 Try a rocker garlic press. It requires a bit more strength as you physically have to press the garlic, but cleanup is much nicer. Otherwise IKEA has a pretty neat design ('Vardefull") in which the container hinges open.
I live in Canada and they're pretty common, which is basically the same culture as the US so I'm surprised he'd never seen one of these before lol. They have decent ones at the dollarstore.
@@unoriginal_name4576 yeah idk how hes never seen one? i literally was given an old one to use as a play doh tool when i was a kid like ive always known they existed. maybe his parents didnt cook much?
fun fact: in the TOS for the slushycup, it says something along the lines of "we cannot be held liable for what we say about our product, if you want accurate information, research on a credible site." and i think that sums it up
Had one when I was little. Works like three times, then breaks. Won’t freeze anymore. Remember trying several brands but they all just stopped working.
I'm pretty sure that's illegal. Marketing promises are held to a certain standard, legally speaking, by the FTC, and if you lie enough about your product you can and will be held liable for it. You can't get around the law by just saying random stuff in a TOS.
i can't believe drew has never seen a garlic press or a foldable grocery bag before. they're everywhere here in germany. they're day to day products. seeing them advertised as this super cool totally new genius lifehack product is... really strange xD
im pretty sure he’s seen those things before 🙄 like he was just trying these particular products that seemed to advertise themselves as special in someway.
The garlic press is pretty common I thought here too tho 😂 The small bag thing isn’t as common everywhere but I have like two them so, and they were way cheaper and one has flowers and words.
unsure how this man has not encountered an standard collapsible bag or garlic press before, but I was happy to go on this journey of discovery with him
Throughout this video I kept asking myself "Has Drew never used garlic press before?" and "Has Drew never seen these folding fruit bags before?" and judging by comments I wasn't the only one
The fact that Drew never ran across the slushy cup ads where they imply that people have used them as a different kind of *toy* is both hilarious and mind-boggling because I see them ALL THE TIME
@@ember9361 I think they meant TH-camrs complain and act like we’re forcing them to do the thing when they could just not. If they do it because they know they get a ton of likes and views (ergo money), they shouldn’t make the fans feel Shitty for enjoying the content they’re actively choosing to make, ya know?
@@digitalharmony26 Yeah they choose to do it but that choice might be financially necessary and if they don’t do it they’ll probably get comments demanding it which, combined with the worse performance of their other videos, could be really creatively demotivating. It also can be helpful for the audience to know how a creator feels about their own work so they can understand what is reasonable to except.
The nano bag is crazy to me bc here in England they’re commonplace, everybody I’ve ever met has at least one and most shops sell them. I work in a discount store and they are 99p, and they’re slightly bigger and can have cute patterns. I personally have a Spider-Man one
since you have to peel it anyways, the Garject is LITERALLY just a garlic press. a machine that has been around forever and a tool a lot of home chefs use. but you can buy a nice garlic press for like $20-30 if you want it to be a stainless enamel. instead you got... that
ngl Drew's "click an ad but don't buy anything" advice is something I've been doing for years. I like the idea that they have to pay for my click but I'll never buy their product. If I keep it up, it should reach the point where it gets too expensive to advertise to me and I'll never have to see a commercial ever again
I wish that were how it worked, but the corporations would probably just eventually realize that increasing advertising of those products isn't producing any actual results and just move to other product lines.
@@DialecticRed Also only about 1-5% of clicks lead to sales anyway Companies know that ads don't automatically mean sales; combined with an average clickthrough rate of 2%, they're already expecting only around one sale for every 1000-5000 impressions.
What I do....I learned in marketing. I go to a site I actually do like shopping at. I either hover for a long time or put things in my cart and leave them there. They will come back and offer me % off bc they "noticed items in my cart". I'll then buy when they've offered me enough off. Not foolproof, but it works about 80% of the time
That "garlic ejector" being presented as a brand new invention is hilarious to me. In Brazil, it's in every house. It simply manifests in your kitchen utensil drawer, whether you bought one or not. Every grandma uses it, daily, when they're making rice and beans. Wild. Edit: After reading the comments I think it's safe to say that they're common everywhere and Drew was the only one that fell for that pricey "novelty".
what really baffled me was that they tried to pass it off like this cool new crazy invention like i was thinking to myself "my mom taught me how to use one of these when i was like five what am i missing here"
@@dead_ones same. And mine is heavy duty enough you don’t have to peel the garlic. (Pampered chef. Say what you want about mlms but that garlic press is bomb.)
A hillarious thing about the "PowerSave" scam is that some of these scenes in the ad are from videos by an electrician called "Big Clive" using one of these products... Demonstrating why it's a scam. Genius.
Has he never heard of garlic crushers before? I can't believe he paid upwards of 30 bucks for that plastic pos when you can get a good metal one at IKEA for literally 5 dollars
see I thought it was supposed to be like... an even better garlic crusher; one that peels it for you somehow magically without any inside the crushed garlic LMAO, I have learned im special
COZY BAND REVIEW so i actually use this every night as a severely mentally ill person who physically cannot fall asleep to silence haha. it’s a significant step up from my previous sleep headband, which was basically one thin strip of fabric that stopped working so quickly, this one i’ve had for at least several months, and it works very well, the only annoyance is the earbuds slipping around so that it’s hard to match them to my ears, and like drew said you can’t exactly adjust the size, but for my purposes it’s vital to my daily survival.
I love the direction Drew is taking honestly, i dont care what he posts he always has a way of adding his own flare to make it entertaining. The arcade video was a completely different thing from the usual content we get. Whatever Drew wants to do is exactly what im subscribed for
So fun fact about those power bill devices. my mom bought those, and come to find out; not only do they not actually do anything, but they are literally just empty plastic shells with two led lights and two wires connected to a small metal box, which I’m 99% percent sure was filled with crayola wax.
It has a mains capacitor inside it. It's supposed to help with Power Factor Correction, which doesn't even matter on resedential energy bills. The thing is, to improve your power factor, you would need to take a look at your current power factor and choose a specific value of capacitor to balance it out.
when drew turned around and said in the most patronizing, condescending voice my ears have ever been blessed with, "oh, i'm sorry, diD yOu thiNk i wAs tALkiNg aBoUt yoU?" i KNEW it was going to be the moon pod and when the shot of the moon pod slumped sadly against the wall came on the screen i fucking howled
You reading the slushie-thingy box instructions was my favorite part of this wholesome video. Thank you so much for being scammed and compulsive shopping to provide entertainment for us, Drew. 🎉
as someone whose favourite pastime as a kid was pretending inanimate objects had feelings, seeing the moonpod folded up in a corner like that as it got berated by drew really struck a chord.
Real talk - I've never met another person who did this 😭 any time I told people that i sometimes feel bad for inanimate objects i would only get weird looks for the past 28 years of my life. you just changed my whole world with one comment
If the moonpod died no one would cry. It's an awful, shameful thing that should be humiliated it existed. It can go jump off a couch. The big white beanbag is so much better, softer, and cooler than that disgusting little excuse for a beanbag called the moonpod.
What i like about these vids is he buys things i am curious about but know could probably be a scam, and then he gives an honest review. It eliminates my desire to buy the things hahaha
@@kingdomheartsfangrl6 true. I'm not on instagram bc of the constant ads like this but I can tell it would be compelling. But everything is over 50 dollars so that's an automatic no.
Now that I think about it, Drew is possibly the only creator who hasn't been caught in the most recent wave of burnout. I'm fully fascinated now. This is so smart and admirable. Also supply and demand, when he posts, we're all ears. Reminds me of Dan Howell pre-hiatus.
Fun fact, if you fill a ziplock bag with ice and put another ziplock that’s filled with a different liquid in the first bag and squeeze it around you’ll be able to have just as impressive results as that cup
@@kimberly.zIt lowers the freezing point of the ice and helps it so it doesn’t all melt before the ice cream is fully solid or something like that, there’s better answers online lol
that idea about getting companies to waste their ad budget by scrolling through their ads and not buying anything is the most petty thing ive ever heard and I absolutely love it lmao
Drew's brain is so broken from doing this he thought 40 dollars for the cozy band was kind of cheap. I literally bought one for 7 bucks at a store near me (and it's actually a pretty good product).
I made my own thing like this out of a pair of Koss Portapros and a regular cloth headband, and it's great. I took the earpads off the Portapro foldable metal headband, drilled tiny holes in the mounting nubs, and attached the earpads to the cloth headband in the right positions using safety pins. A bit janky, but works very well, and the process was super easy. (I guess this is my 5 minute craft lol.) I use it almost every day, and since theyre just Portapros, they sound very good (even better with some EQ). By far the most comfortable headphones I've had. (Sorry for the essay I just love my set so much.)
@@thesugareater8607 I got some pretty good ones on Amazon for like $20, lasted me over a year and still going. Only thing is the charger port bent (probably from me though) but I have one of those pad chargers that it sits and charges on
The whole time during this video i was just thinking "wait are garlic presses actually uncommon in the US?". As i think its weird that drew made not one mention of regular garlic presses.
This garlic thing is sold at every store of Home goods in my country, solid aluminum, 15 bucks, so common I was surprised people didnd't know about it. It's too important as a flavour to not have shelfs full of gadgets just for it
Yeah it's a very basic item that's been around since the nineteenth century so part of me wonders whether he's just pretending he's never heard of one for the vid
"Alan Jackson" is Iman Gadzhi btw There's footage of him cause he dropped out of high school and became a millionaire after creating his own marketing agency company. And no, he had nothing to do with the power bill thing.
"Alan Jackson" is actually Iman Gadzhi. I don't recommend looking him up, because you'll start getting ads for his sketchy courses, but he's been on TH-cam for several years.
Dreamfarm is a weird as hell company, but exactly one of their products is the best thing I've ever used and it's the spatula spoon thing. My flatmate tried to steal it from me when she moved out once four years ago and it started an argument so devistating we still aren't on speaking terms.
i have a spoon shaped spatula i got for christmas when i was literally 10 (i was rly into baking and finally old enough to be allowed to use the oven lmao) and it is my fav spatula in the whole kitchen. the best ever.
Hey Drew, I laughed my ass off when the PowerScam ad was shown. They used old footage of Iman Gadzhi who has 350k subscribers on youtube and the funny thing is he ows a marketing agency! This will make me anxious to shop online for at least one week :D
I can confirm what he said about clicking ads to waste the companies money. The business I work for runs ads online and on social media and we have to pay a set fee to whoever runs our ads every single time someone clicks on one of those ads. The only bad thing about this is that while yes, you are wasting the money of the company the ad is for, you are also giving huge companies like Google money because they are the ones running those ads.
The Nanobag is probably the lamest one because my mother had a collapsible grocery bag just like that one over 10 years ago. The bag folded itself into a strawberry, too, quite cute. It's not a new concept.
Every shop in the uk has had some version of this at some point especially when the plasic bag price went up, and tourist spots always have one.Often like you said the have cute designs that fit the shop theyre in or if you're in a museum there'll be the logo
Right, like I know so many people who have some version of it. My grandma alone has 3 strawberries and strawberries one just randomly colored. I‘m 20 and have several. They‘re literally in every market
yeah yeah, exactly what I thought xD this is an old product that just hasn't had such an ad campaign to it before...? Also the one Drew bought looks strangely like a swimsuit's top half :D especially when he's holding it and the camera cuts the bottom half at 19:24
Drew’s fake ad is one of the single funniest things I’ve seen all year. I died at that so hard that I broke all my bones before my father threatened to kill me.
I know I’m super late but the Pivo camera thing is actually pretty sought-after in the equestrian community. You can film your rides and critique yourself later without making a friend or trainer sit there and film you every time.
your casual mention of IQ tests being meaningless was very appreciated. the inventor of the IQ test even stated it should never be used to measure intelligence because it wouldn't do it accurately.
@@fortysevensfortysevens1744 I think it was originally invented to determine how much help students needs in a school setting. I has been used by racists """race realists"" to back up their untrue arguments with poor data. Shaun did a great video on 'the Bell Curve" if you would like to learn more :)
Couldn't have put it better! They're basically just a way to assess how someone's thinking in a specific set of circumstances works; high and low scores mean very little. Way too often the test is used to throw a vague label on kids rather than diagnosing them with ADHD, autism, and other kinds of neurodivergences that the parents would not like to hear, it's a mess
I have those little bags in my purse and they are amazing lol. I live dead center of Chicago and sometimes I make random grocery stops on the way home. I've stuffed them like crazy, boxes and sharp corners, and they are still going strong with regular use 6 months later.
I think this series started as “how bad are the products from these terrible Instagram ads” and has warped into us all enabling Drew’s impulse purchases
I had a version of the cosy band (different brand name) and honestly they were brilliant while I was in hospital for 5 days a couple years ago when I was recovering from- ironically- spinal fusion surgery for my scoliosis. It hurt to move any part of my body except my hands, so the fact they didn't fall off and I could lay down in them was really great. I will say tho, the nurse was probably pretty confused when she saw a 14 year old crying into a family bag of Doritos with a sweatband on. I wish I was joking
As an electrical engineer, that "power saving" device is a super common scam, and it is loosely rooted in something real (but it 100% doesn't work in this implementation). Basically some of AC electricity is consumed as "reactive power", this is useless power that isn't doing anything, wasted due to either capacitive or inductive elements in all the circuits. Reactive power can be reduced to 0 by equalizing the number of inductive and capacitive components in the circuit, wasting less power. So these devices pretend to achieve that by whacking a capacitor into the circuit and calling it a day. Nevermind that you have equal chance of making the reactive power worse since you don't know if it's inductive or capacitive. The real kicker? Domestic energy suppliers don't charge for reactive power. At all. This only matters for industrial hookups.
@@ettaz Probably, if it did even slightly reduce reactive power it would be miniscule so even that little 1w LED would end up using more. It's also funny that they pretend this is some crazy new invention made by a boy genius that power companies tried to make disappear, when it's literally just AC power 101 and basically every industrial building does this (though correctly).
Interesting. I see how it would increase the power factor if the circuit has high inductance, but wouldn’t adding a capacitor possibly also cause unexpected resonance? (Only if the circuit is at one of the harmonic frequencies)
@@WNolan-cp8yo To some extent, but mind you plenty of other things you plug into the wall also add capacitance and would have the same effect. Compared the impedance of all your house wiring and all the devices within it, in effect, this simply ends up doing nothing. One wonders why they even bother putting the capacitor in since it's not like that will fool anyone any better than just a box with an LED lol.
The slushie cup was advertised in infomercials in the late 2000s/early 2010s. I remember thinking it was cool, but probably not as advertised. All of them showed them making it instantly.
That slushy cup thing actually used to be a pretty popular “As Seen On TV” product! I actually got one in my kitchen somewhere that I bought in like 2014. I used it like twice though because I don’t have space to permanently store it in my freezer and when I realise I want a slushy I want it then and not in 8 hours when it’s had time to freeze. It was a pretty cool concept though.
Really popular in Australia in the 2010s. I swear every kid begged for one, came in super useful in summer! Weird to see them as a "tik tok trend" like 8 years later...
That “bag in a bag” / little bag thing exists and are sold at various stores both as novelties but some as actual products that have space and durability. And they’re, like, $5 at most plus they come in fun shapes and themes. I’ve seen a strawberry, a rainbow, a sleeping bag, all sorts of ones.
Fun fact: the majority of products being sold on tiktok can be found at a fraction of their price on aliexpress. Most of TikTok’s small businesses are just drop shippers
Even more fun, those "genius made thing" adverts usually change the name to fit the region. I live in Japan and there was one ad boasting that a Japanese scientist made a fancy new air conditioner that changed everything. Except it was just a cheap swamp cooler which don't work in humid environments.... like Japan.
@@BlendyStick here in Mexico I have gotten an ad for the same product you are talking about (cheap small swamp cooler), except that it was even more sketchy, the price for it was 60$, however, the currency you were going to pay in wasn't mentioned, then I went back to TH-cam and clicked on the video for the ad, there were hundreds of comments from people who had wasted as much as 5,000 Mexican pesos ordering these; it turned out the currency was either USD or euros, 60 USD/euros here is like 1,200 MXN$, and that is no small amount of money wasted here.

The callback to "is that instagrams" at 18:27 was pure, sparkling, solid GOLD. This truly is the guy who brought us "road work ahead". Bravo! Thanks, Drew.
Yeah that was the weird one to me, I bought several that were just hanging around the check out lane and they are fine for what they are. Like, they fall apart after a while but I always forget my good grocery bags and these little guys I can just keep attached to my purse. Pretty normal product.
I remember that slushie maker advertised as a kid on Nickedlodeon. I wanted it so badly back then but didn't want to have to work to make the slushies.
I once saw a very similar style ad to the Alan Jackson one claiming a teacher had invented the best air conditioner ever that Big Air Conditioner didn't want you know about. Problem is, I instantly recognized the teacher in the ad as a TH-camr I regularly watch who is a teacher but did not invent anything. I sent him screenshots and he replied thanking me because the ad maker had straight up stolen clips from his videos! I've since seen other similarly styled ads and wondered how legit they are.
@@bronwyn2380 I am Canadian, this is only true regionally. In most places that aren't the Maritimes, they use cartons, and in the Maritimes it's fairly uncommon nowadays.
I couldn't accept in my mind that Drew didn't know what a garlic press was, so I thought he was just impressed by the scoop part. If it actually could peel the garlic, that would be impressive.
On a real note, Drew has some of the best transitions I've ever seen on TH-cam. Like genuinely delightful punchlines in themselves, so I never end up skipping around
The garlic musher thing is a VERY common kitchen utensil here and it's like $10, not $100. The slushie maker is ALSO a resold, overadvertised product at an extra price. ...I'm starting to see a pattern here xD

I didn't realize those fold-out bags weren't common. I have one and use it all the time, it's pretty sturdy and also attaches to my purse on a keychain
those grocery bags are really common in Europe, at least where I'm from (the Netherlands, but I've also seen them in Germany). Because plastic bags aren't being sold here anymore and paper bags never really were a thing, it became kind of an alternative and you can get them in so many stores now. they're so incredibly handy!
Same in Sweden! They've been around for many years, but obviously are getting way more popular now since they introduced the plastic tax. You can still buy plastic bags here if you really want, but they're really expensive (almost €1 for one).
You can use a microplane (fine grater/zester) to grate garlic with the skin on. You don't have to touch it much, it's easy to clean, and pretty quick. I can't imagine trying to clean all the nooks and crannys of a garlic press.

any real chef or home cooking enthusiast typically smashes a clove with the flat of the blade ideally, though that part isn't necessary, then dices or minces with a regular ol chef knife. Even in huge restaurant quantities not only do I have much more precision and control over the quality of the final product, I'm typically a good deal faster, work in a kitchen full time for 5, 10+ years and it's almost impossible not to pick up decent nice skills, same with cooking for yourself and/or others at home regularly for years with any real degree of enthusiasm. Rarely are any of those kitchen gadgets efficient in any form unless you just lack basic kitchen skills, which is why among people and places where food is prepared for a living, you're rarely gonna find these beyond fast food level, with a smattering of the extra bullshit corporate joints like Applebee's and Buffalo Wild Wings. But they also use specially designed microwaves where it's nuked from 4 seperate microwave emitters in various interior walls/panels instead of one like most home ones, so they can guarantee it only takes a minute max to ass blast those "premium" dishes into a steaming pile of...culinary delight. soo :p
@@suepposedly8641 Try a rocker garlic press. It requires a bit more strength as you physically have to press the garlic, but cleanup is much nicer. Otherwise IKEA has a pretty neat design ('Vardefull") in which the container hinges open.
@@DrkStrSkt that's a really long way to say you don't think garlic presses are that useful. love the little microwave tangent at the end there :')
I do genuinely appreciate drew having real captions on his videos. The auto captions work sometimes but having real captions definitely helps more
YES as someone with hearing issues, I’ve always appreciated how he either takes the time to do that or he pays someone to transcribe every video.
To not see captions start with the word “foreign” is a miracle lmao
Agree, I hope he doesn’t stop. A lot of TH-camrs will do captions but then stop \:
I love the fact that they even incorporate subtle additional humor to the video.
I think he follows his script verbatim, so I imagine it makes captioning a little easier
the moonpod making an appearance just to be constantly attacked in this whole series is so comforting

@@unoriginal_name4576 yeah idk how hes never seen one? i literally was given an old one to use as a play doh tool when i was a kid like ive always known they existed. maybe his parents didnt cook much?
Exactly like I thought everyone had one
fun fact: in the TOS for the slushycup, it says something along the lines of "we cannot be held liable for what we say about our product, if you want accurate information, research on a credible site." and i think that sums it up
I don't know what dipshit lawyer came up with that exculpatory clause because that would NOT hold up in court lmao. Free lawsuit money??
*WARNING* we will CERTAINLY LIE about our stuff, we will lie here and EVERYWHERE, suck it and never ask about our products.

@@vildeaadnevik1446 Am I the only one that had one as a kid that I loved? Like it worked really well. Am I the minority?
I'm pretty sure that's illegal. Marketing promises are held to a certain standard, legally speaking, by the FTC, and if you lie enough about your product you can and will be held liable for it. You can't get around the law by just saying random stuff in a TOS.
i can't believe drew has never seen a garlic press or a foldable grocery bag before. they're everywhere here in germany. they're day to day products. seeing them advertised as this super cool totally new genius lifehack product is... really strange xD
they're common in america too. he just lives under a rock i guess?
I'm a full time murican and the bag is very normal. Not from florida though 💪
Both these items are common in the US too 😭

The nano bag is crazy to me bc here in England they’re commonplace, everybody I’ve ever met has at least one and most shops sell them. I work in a discount store and they are 99p, and they’re slightly bigger and can have cute patterns. I personally have a Spider-Man one

since you have to peel it anyways, the Garject is LITERALLY just a garlic press. a machine that has been around forever and a tool a lot of home chefs use. but you can buy a nice garlic press for like $20-30 if you want it to be a stainless enamel. instead you got... that

ngl Drew's "click an ad but don't buy anything" advice is something I've been doing for years. I like the idea that they have to pay for my click but I'll never buy their product. If I keep it up, it should reach the point where it gets too expensive to advertise to me and I'll never have to see a commercial ever again
I wish that were how it worked, but the corporations would probably just eventually realize that increasing advertising of those products isn't producing any actual results and just move to other product lines.
@@DialecticRed Also only about 1-5% of clicks lead to sales anyway
Companies know that ads don't automatically mean sales; combined with an average clickthrough rate of 2%, they're already expecting only around one sale for every 1000-5000 impressions.
On Facebook and instagram advertisement is paid per 1000 impressions. So if you don’t click, they still pay.
What I do....I learned in marketing. I go to a site I actually do like shopping at. I either hover for a long time or put things in my cart and leave them there. They will come back and offer me % off bc they "noticed items in my cart". I'll then buy when they've offered me enough off. Not foolproof, but it works about 80% of the time
Yeah but the money goes to Facebook

That "garlic ejector" being presented as a brand new invention is hilarious to me. In Brazil, it's in every house. It simply manifests in your kitchen utensil drawer, whether you bought one or not. Every grandma uses it, daily, when they're making rice and beans. Wild.

Love that Drew has never seen a garlic press and is now paying $25+ for something he could get from Target for $12

so i actually use this every night as a severely mentally ill person who physically cannot fall asleep to silence haha. it’s a significant step up from my previous sleep headband, which was basically one thin strip of fabric that stopped working so quickly, this one i’ve had for at least several months, and it works very well, the only annoyance is the earbuds slipping around so that it’s hard to match them to my ears, and like drew said you can’t exactly adjust the size, but for my purposes it’s vital to my daily survival.
I love the direction Drew is taking honestly, i dont care what he posts he always has a way of adding his own flare to make it entertaining. The arcade video was a completely different thing from the usual content we get. Whatever Drew wants to do is exactly what im subscribed for

my mom bought those, and come to find out; not only do they not actually do anything, but they are literally just empty plastic shells with two led lights and two wires connected to a small metal box, which I’m 99% percent sure was filled with crayola wax.
I've seen them have a capacitor before, might not even have that.
It has a mains capacitor inside it. It's supposed to help with Power Factor Correction, which doesn't even matter on resedential energy bills. The thing is, to improve your power factor, you would need to take a look at your current power factor and choose a specific value of capacitor to balance it out.
BUt why would the power company offer him a very serious and adult offer of $1M to buy his invention?!> hmmm
why only 99%?
You think they sprang for Crayola? Nah, that was Rose Art.
when drew turned around and said in the most patronizing, condescending voice my ears have ever been blessed with, "oh, i'm sorry, diD yOu thiNk i wAs tALkiNg aBoUt yoU?" i KNEW it was going to be the moon pod and when the shot of the moon pod slumped sadly against the wall came on the screen i fucking howled
I am ALL FOR moonpod slander around here
Thats right. Once you saw that part of the video, you looked at the moon and started screaming.
You reading the slushie-thingy box instructions was my favorite part of this wholesome video. Thank you so much for being scammed and compulsive shopping to provide entertainment for us, Drew. 🎉
as someone whose favourite pastime as a kid was pretending inanimate objects had feelings, seeing the moonpod folded up in a corner like that as it got berated by drew really struck a chord.

It looked SO SAD and humiliated, brb I’m gonna go cry 😭 hahaha
Real talk - I've never met another person who did this 😭 any time I told people that i sometimes feel bad for inanimate objects i would only get weird looks for the past 28 years of my life. you just changed my whole world with one comment
If the moonpod died no one would cry. It's an awful, shameful thing that should be humiliated it existed. It can go jump off a couch. The big white beanbag is so much better, softer, and cooler than that disgusting little excuse for a beanbag called the moonpod.

Drew's brain is so broken from doing this he thought 40 dollars for the cozy band was kind of cheap. I literally bought one for 7 bucks at a store near me (and it's actually a pretty good product).
I made my own thing like this out of a pair of Koss Portapros and a regular cloth headband, and it's great. I took the earpads off the Portapro foldable metal headband, drilled tiny holes in the mounting nubs, and attached the earpads to the cloth headband in the right positions using safety pins. A bit janky, but works very well, and the process was super easy. (I guess this is my 5 minute craft lol.)
I use it almost every day, and since theyre just Portapros, they sound very good (even better with some EQ). By far the most comfortable headphones I've had.

I had a version of the cosy band (different brand name) and honestly they were brilliant while I was in hospital for 5 days a couple years ago when I was recovering from- ironically- spinal fusion surgery for my scoliosis. It hurt to move any part of my body except my hands, so the fact they didn't fall off and I could lay down in them was really great. I will say tho, the nurse was probably pretty confused when she saw a 14 year old crying into a family bag of Doritos with a sweatband on. I wish I was joking
As an electrical engineer, that "power saving" device is a super common scam, and it is loosely rooted in something real (but it 100% doesn't work in this implementation). Basically some of AC electricity is consumed as "reactive power", this is useless power that isn't doing anything, wasted due to either capacitive or inductive elements in all the circuits. Reactive power can be reduced to 0 by equalizing the number of inductive and capacitive components in the circuit, wasting less power. So these devices pretend to achieve that by whacking a capacitor into the circuit and calling it a day. Nevermind that you have equal chance of making the reactive power worse since you don't know if it's inductive or capacitive. The real kicker? Domestic energy suppliers don't charge for reactive power. At all. This only matters for industrial hookups.
That was very informative, thank you! Also, wouldn't the miniscule power savings (if there are any) go to powering the stupid green LED on it?
@@ettaz Probably, if it did even slightly reduce reactive power it would be miniscule so even that little 1w LED would end up using more.
It's also funny that they pretend this is some crazy new invention made by a boy genius that power companies tried to make disappear, when it's literally just AC power 101 and basically every industrial building does this (though correctly).
Interesting. I see how it would increase the power factor if the circuit has high inductance, but wouldn’t adding a capacitor possibly also cause unexpected resonance? (Only if the circuit is at one of the harmonic frequencies)
@@WNolan-cp8yo To some extent, but mind you plenty of other things you plug into the wall also add capacitance and would have the same effect. Compared the impedance of all your house wiring and all the devices within it, in effect, this simply ends up doing nothing. One wonders why they even bother putting the capacitor in since it's not like that will fool anyone any better than just a box with an LED lol.
I was looking for this answer! ty! I knew it was a scam but not how😼
The slushie cup was advertised in infomercials in the late 2000s/early 2010s. I remember thinking it was cool, but probably not as advertised. All of them showed them making it instantly.
@xrrxy vvoi this doesnt pertain to the original comment but thanks for the tip
I still have mine since I bought it in 2015 and it still works! Literally just an ice pack in a cylinder shape.
Is it weird that I actually kinda want one now tho?
@@reemthememe mine literally never worked but maybe I was doing it wrong lol
@xrrxy vvoi Palm heel strike!
That slushy cup thing actually used to be a pretty popular “As Seen On TV” product! I actually got one in my kitchen somewhere that I bought in like 2014. I used it like twice though because I don’t have space to permanently store it in my freezer and when I realise I want a slushy I want it then and not in 8 hours when it’s had time to freeze. It was a pretty cool concept though.
Yeah I had as a college sticking-stuffer gift. Freezer space to keep it ready to go and washing it out outweighed the novelty a few weeks in.
I also had it. My gripe was that it only made less than a litre so it was never really enough slushy
Really popular in Australia in the 2010s. I swear every kid begged for one, came in super useful in summer! Weird to see them as a "tik tok trend" like 8 years later...
it was so big here in spain, i remember i wanted it so bad but never asked my parents for it for some reason
@@maceysajowitz7923 even if you hadn't said you were Australian with the name Macey I'd never believe otherwise.
That “bag in a bag” / little bag thing exists and are sold at various stores both as novelties but some as actual products that have space and durability. And they’re, like, $5 at most plus they come in fun shapes and themes. I’ve seen a strawberry, a rainbow, a sleeping bag, all sorts of ones.
I want a strawberry one 😭
I have one that's a lady bug
Fun fact: the majority of products being sold on tiktok can be found at a fraction of their price on aliexpress. Most of TikTok’s small businesses are just drop shippers
I noticed that lol, they think they have everyone fooled

The “Alan Jackson” kid used to be “Nathan Gilroy” in the original iteration of the ad. They swapped him out when people started calling it a fraud.
Even more fun, those "genius made thing" adverts usually change the name to fit the region. I live in Japan and there was one ad boasting that a Japanese scientist made a fancy new air conditioner that changed everything. Except it was just a cheap swamp cooler which don't work in humid environments.... like Japan.
@@BlendyStick here in Mexico I have gotten an ad for the same product you are talking about (cheap small swamp cooler), except that it was even more sketchy, the price for it was 60$, however, the currency you were going to pay in wasn't mentioned, then I went back to TH-cam and clicked on the video for the ad, there were hundreds of comments from people who had wasted as much as 5,000 Mexican pesos ordering these; it turned out the currency was either USD or euros, 60 USD/euros here is like 1,200 MXN$, and that is no small amount of money wasted here.
His real name is Iman gadzhi
@@isaacfox5148 oh god...his twitter page is such joke. He started his own Alpha male club lol I can't believe so many people fall for those dumb schemes
I’m just extremely confused how Drew has never used a garlic press before…
not only has he not used it...he appears to have not even heard of it. very strange
he was kept in a basement as a child
I thought the same!
Even the way he peeled it
I’ve never heard of one either 😭
I have an amazon version of ghoae bluetooth headband things for sleeping, theyre really good and i struggled with insomnia during junior/senior years of undergrad and it REALLY helped
I just put on an audiobook that ive already listened to and play something with a sleep timer so it turns off by itself in 30 minutes, and it knocks me out completely
Drew is single-handedly lowering the “susceptible to scans” age range by 10 years
Kids are susceptible to scams
every age group is actually equally susceptible to different types of scams.
Yeah I hate self checkout scans too
Wow I saw this comment thread in a dream last month. Wild lol
That is so fucking funny
The callback to "is that instagrams" at 18:27 was pure, sparkling, solid GOLD. This truly is the guy who brought us "road work ahead".
Bravo!
Thanks, Drew.
we could also say he's................................................... streets ahead
uh, yeah, i sure hope it does...
More like liquid gold
this is the guy who introduced us to “it ony a movie”
nodsnjo OH MY GOSH, I didn't even catch that as a reference 'till now!
Has Drew really never seen those bags that fold up into tiny pouches? I have probably 10 of those. They've been around for decades.
Yeah that was the weird one to me, I bought several that were just hanging around the check out lane and they are fine for what they are. Like, they fall apart after a while but I always forget my good grocery bags and these little guys I can just keep attached to my purse. Pretty normal product.
Fr, my grandma used to use them constantly when I was little and still has tons of them today
I remember that slushie maker advertised as a kid on Nickedlodeon. I wanted it so badly back then but didn't want to have to work to make the slushies.
I once saw a very similar style ad to the Alan Jackson one claiming a teacher had invented the best air conditioner ever that Big Air Conditioner didn't want you know about. Problem is, I instantly recognized the teacher in the ad as a TH-camr I regularly watch who is a teacher but did not invent anything. I sent him screenshots and he replied thanking me because the ad maker had straight up stolen clips from his videos! I've since seen other similarly styled ads and wondered how legit they are.
Who was the TH-camr and what was the name of the product/ad?
who was the youtuber?
“big air conditioner” 😭😭😭
@@twinkle7389 real rap with Reynolds and the company was called BreezeMaxxDirect
Thanks for sharing! Good to know so I can be aware of possible scammers.
Never thought the concept of “loose milk” could strike such fear into me
in canada they sell milk in bags. it haunts me every day.
@@bronwyn2380 I smell a pitch for A24's next movie.....
it implies the existence of tight milk
@@bronwyn2380 I am Canadian, this is only true regionally. In most places that aren't the Maritimes, they use cartons, and in the Maritimes it's fairly uncommon nowadays.
I live in Toronto and our milk comes in clear plastic bags... I thought that was the norm for everyone lol.
Drew’s speaking tone is so naturally sarcastic that I never know if he’s being genuine or not
Boop!
30:39 it looks like they are seasoning him
I couldn't accept in my mind that Drew didn't know what a garlic press was, so I thought he was just impressed by the scoop part. If it actually could peel the garlic, that would be impressive.
"Alan Jackson" is actually Iman Ghadzi, he's an internet multimillionaire guru
THANK YOU I’ve been wondering this since this video was uploaded
Yeah now he’s a pedophile Or something-
@@clownbeetles really wtf
He one of the Andrew tate type guys
THANK YOU. I’ve been wondering for so freaking longggddhsidsjsakns
On a real note, Drew has some of the best transitions I've ever seen on TH-cam. Like genuinely delightful punchlines in themselves, so I never end up skipping around
Such a great comment! I hadn’t been able to put into words some of the things he does that I like so much and this was awesome!
My thoughts exactly
yes even with the sponsors!!
PSA TO ANYONE WHO PEELS GARLIC. If you lightly smush the garlic with the side of the knife first, the peel comes off wayyyy easier.
Like that harry potter potion
right i was getting so mad that he wasn’t doing this
I like to smash the garlic with the knife for extra effect
Ty My 11yr old knows this
Palm heel strike?
Love how falling asleep lying on his back wasn't even an option. This is representation
I just can't. I may end up on my back come morning, but I'll be damned if I'm getting to sleep that way.
im always scared that somehow i'll like hallucinate and see like sleep paralysis demons LMAO
@@ZoeRebecca the ONE TIME i fell asleep on my back i had sleep paralysis and ive slept on my side or front ever since
@@tinyelephant2104 YEAH EXACTLY that’s why i’m scared 😭😭
I mean it really isn't an option. Back sleepers clearly skipped sleeping class since they're doing it wrong
The garlic musher thing is a VERY common kitchen utensil here and it's like $10, not $100.
The slushie maker is ALSO a resold, overadvertised product at an extra price.
...I'm starting to see a pattern here xD
It's like 2 to 4€ in Ikea 😂😭😂
@@tercazajo ok, 10 for a good quality, metal one XD
Better than what Drew bought xD
well the drop shipper needs to take his 80% cut. Those instagram ads don't pay for themselves ya know
Yeah, and everyone has the same Ikea one. It's so cheap and full stainless steel. How can he live without a garlic press? Garlic + garlic press = happiness
d
That David tinkle thing had me dying especially the 100 iq thing being a perfect score it would honestly probably work on instagram

End of the month advertiser forced upload time.
I didn't realize those fold-out bags weren't common. I have one and use it all the time, it's pretty sturdy and also attaches to my purse on a keychain
Also, it folds so it's not hard to put back at all
Drew was also unfamiliar with a garlic press which I think is pretty common lol.

At least all these items are tax deductible, I'd say that's good reason to keep buying.
People keep watching the videos... which makes way more money than a $50 deduction in taxes

Hi damien
He should definitely utilize his entire life savings on a bean bag chair made entirely of expired beans
For tax evasion purposes, of course
at 17:27, my volume suddenly shot up to the max as soon as drew said "50 pushups" and it was one of the scariest experiences of my life
those grocery bags are really common in Europe, at least where I'm from (the Netherlands, but I've also seen them in Germany). Because plastic bags aren't being sold here anymore and paper bags never really were a thing, it became kind of an alternative and you can get them in so many stores now. they're so incredibly handy!
Same in Sweden! They've been around for many years, but obviously are getting way more popular now since they introduced the plastic tax. You can still buy plastic bags here if you really want, but they're really expensive (almost €1 for one).
Same in the UK every grandma has one 😂
I see them all the time here in the US too! Like I’m honestly so confused how those bags are like some incredible invention like in the ad
Ja toch!? Ik zag die blauwe ik dacht meteen aan die tasjes van Zeeman!
They’re super common here in Germany
The guy from the fake commercial is actually called "Iman Gadzhi" and he is a youtuber that uploads lots of money based videos
The way drew named these "chapters" of the video lol. Hi, buy, lie?, try, fly, pie, bye
I've seen two other comments exactly like this Iol
You can use a microplane (fine grater/zester) to grate garlic with the skin on. You don't have to touch it much, it's easy to clean, and pretty quick. I can't imagine trying to clean all the nooks and crannys of a garlic press.
It's honestly not too bad. I just soak mine in hot soapy water.
