What a funky batch of gadgets this time, the apple corer has been used loads already!

While the can opener *worked*, it's still pants compared to any other brand of opener. It struggles way too much and takes too long. I suspect if you used it on a real big can that it wouldn't even be able to open it.
It's the hallmark of a good reviewer. Sometimes a product just performs poorly on the basis of one or two user errors and otherwise works great. Or sometimes a product is just too "fiddly". You really have to put it through its paces and ask yourself if you might be doing something wrong to really figure out if it's the one or the other.
I just wish he would google how to correctly use the products he reviews before he reviews them so he can give them an honest chance. I mean it’s silly to say a basket steamer doesn’t steam veggies well when he has NO idea how to use one properly and it’s been around for decades- makes him look dumb when he is not. There have been other products that have been around for a while he just came across that he wrote off because he hadn’t researched how to use them. SMH
Barry - the cutting board... I don't know exactly how to say that ... the blue thing should be turned 180 degrees... it is seen on the back of the cardboard (and on this video at 7:10
i think the fact that its so easy to destroy it, especially for people who arent familiar with it, shows a fundamental issue if one misuse breaks it it cant be that sturdy to begin with. the concept of it felt good to me as a student but if i could come home hammered and wake up with a broken cutting board theres not much point in getting it
Don't worry Barry we did exactly the same thing with the slush puppy machine. I was so upset when it didn't work, then we read the back. I love my slushy machine now I know how to use it!!
I like that Slush Puppie machine. It's like a more serious version of the motorized toy Slurpee maker I have (which runs off batteries and only makes one serving at a time). I don't know if it's strictly necessary, but I found that mine works better with crushed ice inside the metal chamber as opposed to cubes.
Starting from 1:42 the music was a little overpowering for a bit. Otherwise, loved it. Edit: That vampire garlic thing looked like a different type of grinder.
We had Slush Puppies in Australia growing up! I loved the blue Raspberry one! and well, all of the flavours! Something about that cool blue dog made you want one!
That sticker on your shirt, should be a shirt. Also..damn I loved Slush Puppies in high school, we had a store across the street so we always had 'em in class.
Barry, I love when the whole family come together to do a review , you were all so excited standing round the slush machine, these are the memories your girls will grow up to remember as the fun times with their wacky dad n mum xx
I appreciate how right off the bat you inform viewers to not be judgemental towards the gadgets with a lot of them being helpful with people with disabilities. No other gadget reviewer does that. 👍
Oh, that can opener is quite brilliant. At first i didn't realise why it cuts the tin on the side rather than top, but i think they did that to account for the fact that tins may ave various opening mechanisms on the top that may interfere with cutting. Amazing.
I love how you start the video saying that these gadgets can help people with disabilities even if it's the 46th video of the serie. That's so thoughtful. terre = ground, dirt (as in the brown stuff under the grass that turn into mud when it's wet) and Terre = Earth (as in the beautiful planet we have to cherish )
Fun Fact: J & J Snack Foods which is an American company owns The Icee Company also owns Slush Puppy. I dont know how much of an impact Slush Puppy is here in the US but ICEE is pretty big here.
That slushy maker works the same way an old fashioned ice cream machine does. I imagine if you have one of those ice cream machines, you could do slushies.
Like you I have always been a slush puppie fan, took me right back to the times visiting the shop and seeing those machines with the spinning cup on top.
As an employee of a store that sells Slush puppy machines, you are not the only person to not read the bottle. I have had countless people try to return it and when I ask did you dilute the syrup they say "You have to dilute the syrup?" YES! When I sell them I always tell the customer to DILUTE IT!
I've only been watching your videos for a few months now, but I want to tell you that your videos have a kind of wholesomeness and good natured fun that lift my spirits. Go Barry!
My mum has carpal tunnel and uses both the culinere openers, they work a treat and are a total life saver for her, so I can say they are a must buy for those who need help and those who don't.
LOVE the can opener. Especially how it cuts from the bottom of the lid instead from the top- less dangerous. Will need to get that and the jar opener. Currently I just put a wide rubber band onto the sides or the lid of the jar, gets a better grip and twist.
Standard apple corer: push the core out with the stem of a wooden spoon. If your kitchen drawers aren't on rollers, you can jam said wooden spoon between one of them and the counter top and do it one-handed.
I'm in my 30's.... I've never even thought about Slush Puppies in decades... But even just mentioning those words I was taken back to the old Swimming Pool I would go to as a kid and I would get one afterwards, I can literally smell chlorine just from the memory of those two words !
Slush Puppie! Wow! Back in the 1980s and 90s my local convenience stores always had Slush Puppie machines. Slushy drinks are still a mainstay of convenience stores around here like many other places I'm sure, but Slush Puppie is a brand I haven't seen in probably 25 years!
Oh Barry, not following instructions twice in one gadget. 5 Parts water to 1 part syrup does not make 20% syrup, it makes 16.666%, Instead of filling your jug up top 1 litre for the final mixture, you should of add 1 litre of water to the 200ml of syrup to make 1.2 litres.
because of your gadget videos I got my mom a garlic rocker and pealer and she says they are her favorite gadgets in the kitchen and doesn't know how she dealt with garlic before it just wanted to say thanks for the vids they really do help and show some good products I've been watching since the first episode
I got into the habit of hitting like at the start because, when I'm watching TH-cam on my Fire TV stick, it's an absolute pain to navigate through to Like when the video has ended and I don't want to interrupt proceedings halfway through. Doesn't apply when I'm watching on the computer, of course, but I've just got into the habit.
The knife guide I seen but much better version for kids and adults with disabilities , it is to get them active and having fun cooking and that makes them want to eat food too.
My dad was born with a birth defect that left him with a different looking left hand. He has no fingers/grip. So growing up we always had an electric can opener for him. I never actually learned to use a manual can opener until college and Im embarrassed to say, I really struggled with manual can openers for a long time because I was so used to electric ones.
With that apple cider you could make a chocolate covered caramel apple. With the caramel in the center & coat it in chocolate or another candy coating to keep it in.
Fun fact: the Margarita machine inventor (who comes from my home state of Texas) was inspired by slurpee machines (the American version of slush puppies basically) so you could potentially make margaritas with that machine. 😆 Fun fact #2 : in Texas Margaritas are not a gendered drink. I was shocked when people outside the state called margaritas a girly drink. Tell that to the manly cowboys who drink it. 😆
We have Slush Puppies in the US, too: a lot of cinemas have Slush Puppy brand slushies, and my high school also had a snack stand in the cafeteria on Fridays, and that had a Slush Puppy machine as well. We're just used to thinking of "slushie" as synonymous with "Slurpee," the brand-name for 7-11's slushies.
I am so glad you posted this comment! My first thought was this would get cold enough to make margaritas?!?! Might have to invest in one and give it a try! As a fellow Texan, I 2nd the notion that margaritas are definitely not a girly drink! Especially the purple ones! 😉

BUHREAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
TK Maxx is TJ Maxx in the US because of the confusion with a former shop TJ Hughes here in the UK
The blue swivel on cutting board was backwards. Turning it around prevents knives from pushing it open.
Barry: "If this is just user error"
*It almost certainly is*
Barry: "which of course we know it can be"
*He has become self aware*
he foreshadowed the slushie issue
Hahaha why doesn't he just push it from the top?
@@Jeanineily3 Because it takes effort to push it through and it'll get sticky juice everywhere, way easier to push it out from the bottom
It's the hallmark of a good reviewer. Sometimes a product just performs poorly on the basis of one or two user errors and otherwise works great. Or sometimes a product is just too "fiddly".

Every time Barry says “keep in mind that this might be helpful to people with disabilities” it warms my little disabled heart! Thank you ❤️
Mine too! 🤠🤠
Same! I've actually bought a few gadgets Barry has reviewed (and then my grandmother RUINED my best can opener!)
He has to say that because people are usually very self centred and only care about what applies to or is useful to them.
Mine too❤❤
"Hunger Breaks - All Day Breakfast".
Stuart would be proud.
I've watched Barry so much that my thoughts have an English accent.
Lmaoooooo
Of all the English accents you get stuck with that worzel abortion. Gutted.
😂🤣😂
😂
It's got a hint of mockney about it "at awww" instead of "at all" for example.
I push the core out from the other side. From the handle and towards the spikes.
like a normal person would.
With your pinky!
Berry read "... slowly pour your syrup-mixture in..."
Berry do " .... ok, syrup straight away in ...."
Me 🤯😂🤪🤭
Berry good.
Barry do you have anything planned for a 50th episode special?
Hopefully, time pending
@@mrbarrylewis 50 gadgets.
A reveal of his own line. Depends how far along that project is though.
Or a retest There must be so many by now Barry wanted to give another try.
Or have a special guest? Maybe another TH-camr?

You should give a rating system to all these gadgets.
"I give this Gracula garlic press 5 pugs!"
Don't worry Barry we did exactly the same thing with the slush puppy machine. I was so upset when it didn't work, then we read the back. I love my slushy machine now I know how to use it!!
Chris Thomson maybe those people didn’t read the directions either.
@@NoDontLikeIt "Doesn't work. Tried everything. One star"
Stonking.
Apple corer.....push through the other side, so push from the handle side towards the end
That requires Herculean level of strength to accomplish
@@NekoiNemo but this is the mighty Barry Lewis remember
Been watching your videos so long I've watched the girls grow up on TH-cam lol they are such great kids, you got an awesome family barry!!!
Blue raspberry is the best flavor of anything
And cola , tbh it is one of the best flavours on anything
The word ‘syrup’ should ring a bell. But nope. Barry: I’ll pour all of this into the container to make a slushie. 😆
Barry your child like wonder makes my day happier thanks 🤗🤗
Have you ever tried a micro plane grater? They are perfect for easily pureeing garlic and for finely zesting citrus.
Mr. Bean has been replaced by Senorita Queen Lizzy 😂
I had the reef flip flops with the hollow air bubbles you could fill them with vodka. 😂
I like that Slush Puppie machine. It's like a more serious version of the motorized toy Slurpee maker I have (which runs off batteries and only makes one serving at a time).
I don't know if it's strictly necessary, but I found that mine works better with crushed ice inside the metal chamber as opposed to cubes.
Haven't you done that exact automatic can opener before? In fact in episode #17, isn't that the exact same?
Don't think so?! But, you may have a better memory than me!
*update* Yes! what the heck lol, I don't remember that at all!
Starting from 1:42 the music was a little overpowering for a bit. Otherwise, loved it.
Edit: That vampire garlic thing looked like a different type of grinder.
Gracula looks easy enough for kids to use.
We had Slush Puppies in Australia growing up! I loved the blue Raspberry one! and well, all of the flavours! Something about that cool blue dog made you want one!
That sticker on your shirt, should be a shirt. Also..damn I loved Slush Puppies in high school, we had a store across the street so we always had 'em in class.
My mom used to call me her little slush puppy... Thank you for the nostalgia!
I love your gadget videos. Being disabled I appreciate that you put that at the start of all your gadget videos.
Barry, I love when the whole family come together to do a review , you were all so excited standing round the slush machine, these are the memories your girls will grow up to remember as the fun times with their wacky dad n mum xx
It was not a good day for me .. but saw the notification you posted a new video .. I was feeling better 😌
Hope your day gets better
Scott Randall Thank you 🙏 I felt a lot better
Good to hear :)
Mrs. Barry, I totally understand with the apple 🤣
I appreciate how right off the bat you inform viewers to not be judgemental towards the gadgets with a lot of them being helpful with people with disabilities. No other gadget reviewer does that. 👍
The girls have grown up so much 😭 watching your videos for years. Love and cheers!
It's called T.J.Maxx in the U.S.
Oh, that can opener is quite brilliant. At first i didn't realise why it cuts the tin on the side rather than top, but i think they did that to account for the fact that tins may ave various opening mechanisms on the top that may interfere with cutting. Amazing.
Its actually not cutting at all, it unrolls the sealed edge.
There are tons of manual can openers that do the same. They are brilliant.
No need to buy a fancy automatic one for that :p
I usually use a wooden spoon to take out a core of an apple
The apple corer, you push the core from the other side... LOL!
OMG, Barry, you just reminded me of The Simpson’s where Bart and Millhouse ordered an all-syrup Squishee from the Kwik-E-Mart.
I love how you start the video saying that these gadgets can help people with disabilities even if it's the 46th video of the serie. That's so thoughtful.
terre = ground, dirt (as in the brown stuff under the grass that turn into mud when it's wet) and Terre = Earth (as in the beautiful planet we have to cherish )

Fun Fact: J & J Snack Foods which is an American company owns The Icee Company also owns Slush Puppy.
I dont know how much of an impact Slush Puppy is here in the US but ICEE is pretty big here.
Omg slush puppies were the best!!! Blue one! 🙌🏻🙌🏻
It was very enjoyable watching Barry try to freeze sugar for like 10 minutes 😂
Just what I need with being stuck home ill, love your videos Barry
Courtnie Elaine get well soon
Hope you feel better soon,x
That garlic grinder looks very...suspicious.
Loved the Ashens crossover at the start!
My mum has had the same one touch can opener for over 10 years now!I didn't realise how long she'd had it until I saw this video.
That slushy maker works the same way an old fashioned ice cream machine does. I imagine if you have one of those ice cream machines, you could do slushies.
Like you I have always been a slush puppie fan, took me right back to the times visiting the shop and seeing those machines with the spinning cup on top.

At 4.40 Barry reviewed basically a grinder hahaha
PLEASE keep doing the intro with the funny bits. I live for that. Hilarious!
Man I miss slush puppies! Used to get them at the pizza shop by my house. So many good memories
I love that you love puns, Barry!
I've only been watching your videos for a few months now, but I want to tell you that your videos have a kind of wholesomeness and good natured fun that lift my spirits. Go Barry!
First I though that TK Maxx was a kind of dump clothing store, until I saw your vids. Quite a kitchen gadget heaven indeed.
My favourite videos ever! So proud of how far you’ve come Barry😊
My mum has carpal tunnel and uses both the culinere openers, they work a treat and are a total life saver for her, so I can say they are a must buy for those who need help and those who don't.
Just watching you makes me smile!
LOVE the can opener. Especially how it cuts from the bottom of the lid instead from the top- less dangerous.
Will need to get that and the jar opener.
Currently I just put a wide rubber band onto the sides or the lid of the jar, gets a better grip and twist.
"What I do at home. What am I talking about I am at home" made me laugh so hard 😂😂
When Ashens saw that can of all day breakfast. He started recalling some bad memories.
Someone needs to make a supercut of all of Barry's puns!

A fine addition to my 'stonking' videos collection

that gracula could probably be a weedcula 🍁
Is it just me who gets genuine enjoyment from peeling off garlic skins with my fingers?
For the apple core remover you just push it back out the way it came in
Oh Barry, not following instructions twice in one gadget. 5 Parts water to 1 part syrup does not make 20% syrup, it makes 16.666%, Instead of filling your jug up top 1 litre for the final mixture, you should of add 1 litre of water to the 200ml of syrup to make 1.2 litres.
Barry when you turn off the can opener it goes in reverse to release the lid...this is one of my favorite gadgets and i use it everyday
The problem with most automatic can opener is that they leave a razor sharp edge on the can.
The Gracula is a weed grinder on Halloween
I bought that very apple corer for my mom one year. It's amazing
Slush puppie machine instabuy. I need my kids to grow up with this!!
Can you do a video on all Joseph Joseph gadgets?? I think this be fun to test one brand at a time
because of your gadget videos I got my mom a garlic rocker and pealer and she says they are her favorite gadgets in the kitchen and doesn't know how she dealt with garlic before it just wanted to say thanks for the vids they really do help and show some good products I've been watching since the first episode
Your gadget videos bring a smile to my face every time Thanks Barry
My day is so much better thanks to you.
i like that little ashens reference at the beginning there.
I own one of the slush puppie machines watching you put just the syrup had me in stitches
Am I the only one who likes the video before watching? 😊
Love you Barry!
Wow, it could be rubbish lol
Barry Lewis It’s entertaining 🤣
Not really something to be proud of...

Even the worst video on this channel, on a scale of 1 to 10, is a 37 :D
Looks like it's time for another barathon amazing stuff
Man that cheesy vampire pun really sucked the battery dry.
My daughter and I love watching your videos cause she loves your pugs

The whole time I was thinking "you need to add water to that"
You have the cutest personality I’ve ever seen!!!!!
We have reef flip flops in Australia, come in real handy at parties haha. I love mine 👌🏻
slush puppies from my local spar as a kid was the best
For pushing out the core stuck in the apple corer I use a port wine cork, the kind with a plastic top hat stuck to it.
For garlic I use a Garlic Twist, it is ace!
With that apple cider you could make a chocolate covered caramel apple. With the caramel in the center & coat it in chocolate or another candy coating to keep it in.
LOL MRS BARRY AT 23:56!!! THE KOOLAID MAN!!!
Bought the slush machine a while back. Works fantastically. Uses a HUGE amount of ice though.
Your videos make my day better and I get a smile when I feel sad thank you so much
Loved that Stuart ashens Easter egg at the start 😂

I don't live in Texas, but I've never heard of a margarita being a gendered drink, either. When in the world did that start, lol?
BooDotBoo I’m not sure, I’ve just heard a few people call it a girly drink, and was really confused by it. 🤷🏻♀️😆
Any cocktail with sugar syrup added is considered a "girly drink" because it tastes sweeter.
