Slap glasses would be good at an amusement park, if you're going to ride a roller coaster you can quickly remove your glasses and slap them on your wrist
That's actually a very good point.
Good for the water park and beach too.
I had exactly the same thought.
If they looked and fit better, it's not such a bad idea, I hate wearing sunglasses on my t-shirt
@@SvobodovaEva I still manage to lose my even on the t-shirt!
As a disabled person, I see the umbrella hat as pretty useful. It is hard to hold a traditional umbrella and use a walker or a manual wheelchair. In a place where we tend to see more rain than sunshine I will probably be purchasing this for the future.
Try one of these: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sou'wester
I can see the use in the sun for your situation, but I use a wheelchair also and have never found anything that helps in the rain. This device would simply funnel the rain on to the legs. A friend one devised an umbrella that was attached to the chair (large sized) and it might have worked if the wind had not caught under it and flipped me out of the chair. It was at least entertaining for all of us, but decidedly not useful. Basically, I have just gotten used to being wet since 1983!
@@rollon3530
The umbrella-hat in the video looks like it has air vents close to the top, so that the wind blows through the vents, instead of turning it inside-out. It sounds like the one your friend designed needed air vents. Maybe the umbrella-hat could be improved with some sort of gutter attachment around the bottom, that would siphon the water to the rear, and keep the user drier.
@@rollon3530 could a rain poncho for wheelchair users be an option? Beats getting wet I guess...
@@rollon3530 Don't they make a hood like the kind they have on strollers that can be attached?
www.amazon.co.uk/Quality-Framed-Raincover-Pushchairs-Strollers/dp/B00ARHLP8W
It seems the most logical design though they'd have to work harder to make sure visibility through the plastic isn't compromised.
EDIT: There's a ton of really nice sun/rain canopies for mobility scooters and a couple for powered wheelchairs but the rain covers I see are crappily designed without a frame for some reason. It shouldn't be that hard to have detachable struts from the back of the chair or handles that the canopy attaches to! Even this one www.specialneedspushchairs.co.uk/trotter-accessories/ is a special needs pushchair for children- why the hell can't they make one for adults? I only have to fumble with my walking stick and an umbrella but I'm kind of mad on your behalf.
Two plusses for the self-stirring mug: (1) if your drink is too hot, you can hit the stir button instead of having to blow on it; and (2) if you have chunks of hot chocolate mix that keep sinking to the bottom, again just hit the stir button occasionally to keep from getting a thick layer of chocolate on the bottom.
when you like to use more juice mix than will easily dissolve in cold water lol
You do reviews on the best items! I have multiple disabilities which makes it hard especially in the kitchen and when I watch your videos I find new little gadgets that will help me continue to cook for myself longer. I just want to say I appreciate that so much and thank you for doing these kinds of reviews
“A nearby trombone player thought we were calling him dumb”
That’s gotta be the most random thing I’ve ever seen on your channel 🤣🤣😭😭
I was waiting for a fight to start. Gotta be careful who you call dumb. Was kind of rude too. You see people sitting in the park and you gotta sit by them with your obnoxious tuba? Just rude
I’m a trombone player....they can be odd ducks. I can’t imagine going to a park to practice!
@@mszoomy I agree, it's very rude to walk up on 2 people having a conversation, confront them about that conversation because you assume it's about you, get clarification that they're taking to a camera and then proceed to set up and play right next to them knowing that they're recording! Holy jeez! It's a park, give them some space! 🙄 I don't know, maybe he was hoping for a crowd to get some change thrown in his instrument case? 🤷♀️🤣
@@mszoomy trombone, not tuba but your point still stands. All that space and deciding to set up that close to other people is a dick move.
Its Vegas! Most people who live there, didn't grow up in Nevada. Most likely a California transplant. 😌
Those snap sunglasses would be great for a theme park. Cheap and you won't just immediately lose or break them taking them on and off for rides and stuff. Just slap 'em on your wrist, they look pretty alright wearing them but fashion doesn't matter a whole lot at a theme park anyways.
Exactly what I thought. Roller coaster glasses
Exactly what I came to say. 50 bucks to buy the family disposable glasses that you can't lose on roller coasters sounds like a great idea.
Immediately thought Disney: haven’t been to any other theme parks.
They look better than the glasses he was wearing at the start.
My thoughts too.
I used the glasses clip to clip my name tags for nursing, instead off having pins poking through my uniforms.
Carmen S. I would take that over the discomfort of wearing the slap glasses.
I don't like putting pins through some of the nicer blouses I would wear to work.
We had those as name tags too for work, the magnetic ones, but they rusted onto my blouses/dresses from sweat and stained them all. Cheap metal I guess. :-(
By any chance is your name carmen sandiego?
@@lindao7887 Thanks, that’s good to know. Perhaps some clear fingernail polish would protect against rust and staining.
The self-stirring mug is more useful, especially in an office setting, I've always been suspicious of the communal spoon drawer.
That mug has got to be an absolute nightmare to clean though, with fiddly moving parts that get in the way, having to worry about water getting into battery compartments, etc. etc. And unless you _really_ master the cleaning, you're probably going to want to get two... I mean, do you _really_ want to use the same one for your cup~a~soup (oxtail flavour) *and* your banana flavour 'milk shake' drinks..?
Maybe it would work better if it used one of those magnetic beans from the chemistry sets, easier to clean too.
@@richiehoyt8487 u put water and soap and it's clean
@@marosama4425 Looks like it works, I'll give it that, and if your comment is born of acquaintance with the doohickey, well, I can only bow to your experience. Still, if one is to use the mug _as_ a mug, _per se,_ and not merely as a hand held mixer, then I would still be unhappy about using a mug that I couldn't *immerse* in hot soapy water to clean. (Well, at least we see eye to eye on the soap and water!) And I would still be lairy of getting that battery compartment wet. Sure, you could clean _around_ that part, but >`tshh!‘< _Fiddly!!_ But that doesn't make it a bad invention, just means that I'm a persnickety 'S~o~B'! I would be delighted to see the self - cleaning mug 'take off', but me, personally? I won't be ordering any for myself, thanks!
Ah, the communal spoon drawer! At one job, a note went up in the break room saying
"LOST - SEVERAL SPOONS
PLEASE CHECK YOUR DESK
AND RETURN SAME"
So, with my wife's artistic help, I put up a picture of people carrying desks that were marked with
check marks or ####'s into the room.
Use the burrito pop as a pringles can that you can adjust the height. Just open a pringles can and pour it inside. Pringles on the go.
50 bucks for a Pringles can? No thank you.
@@floyd2386 albeit there's no justification for it to be as expensive as it is. The idea could be used in many things, not just pringles.
Yeah, lots of uses beyond wrapped burritos, especially if it turns out to actually be reasonably easy to clean. When you said pringles, I thought, "That's WAY too wide for pringles," but then I realized that it would be fantastic for pushing SO many snacks closer to you as you reached the bottom, like popcorn, cheetos, nuts, trail mix... I would probably use it more often for snacks than for a burrito or sub. This, of course, only if it was more reasonably priced and how to clean it was revealed. :P
It's not airtight so the Pringles will get soft.
@@jasserrano You could pack a snack size. Or as many as you think you would eat in one sitting. Don’t gotta empty the entire thing if you just want a snack on your way to work.
I would certainly say a $12 self stirring mug is more useful than a $40 burrito holder.
$40 burrito holder is when you buy a hooker for an hour to just hold your taco bell.
The burrito holder looked like a plastic holder for baby wipes!
That mug would be great for dairy-free coffee creamer
@@freezingcathedral we can do that
@@lisad359 wum
The reader rest product has a second purpose and are excellent for routing headphone cables when out walk/running and using wired headphones (still the best for quality listening), the wire is usually wrapped once around the product and stops the usual drag so keeping them on or in ears more securely. An excellent product if not for the stated use. Great channel always interesting.
"They showed a person walking down the street swinging their burrito" - impossible to say that without cracking up!
In a world of one armed men, the man with the self stirring cup is king.
So true! And James is always trying to find the right audience for the products!
but you dont have to hold the mug to stir it, also if you have one arm how are you going to out the batteries in it?
@@perry92964 You have a prepping assistant.
@@perry92964 As king, he decrees that everything will be done by two people.
It would also have to be a table-less world.
I'd so wear the umbrella hat for my hikes in the woods w dogs. dogs don't care if it rains and i don't care what i look like out in the woods lol plus my hands have issues w tingling and numbness....I've often wished for an umbrella i didn't have to hang on to
One of those rice paddy hats would be just as useful and half as goofy looking.
You could just get a water resistant, wide brimmed hat
You need one of these: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sou'wester Very common in Norway! (Especially amongst children, but they are for all ages)
@@slektektiv That's going to get water on his body because its so small, I think it only protects the head.
I like how you really try to see how other people may find things useful and are thoughtful before leaving a review. Often people that need these things are niche and it is nice for you to support people making products who may need these products,
I actually think that umbrella hat would work perfectly for walking my dog in the rain, especially at night, it's so hard to hold a flashlight, umbrella, and pick up poop at the same time
Thankyou for actually cleaning up after your dog! Ppl 4get that poop spreads disease & leaving it lay is a public health hazard (not fertilizer).
My dog refuses to go out in the rain. Lol
Someone bought me the self stirring mug as a gift once. But it had Darth Vader and a "use the force" on it. And I would stir my coffee with it prior to drinking each time. It is great for older people/kids that would get it all over or people with only one hand or that had a stroke and don't have good control of their hand. Warning: clean IMMEDIATELY with warm water after each use especially if using something sweet or the propeller will gum up!
thats actually a fantastic point
My mom (who passed away in November) has had one of those magnetic glasses holders for her shirt for about 5 years, and she LOVED it. Bought several replacements as she either lost ones or gave them away to others who liked them. She wouldn't have lived without it!
My condolences to you and your family of the loss of your mother. She must have been pretty cool having those glasses
And of course you can use them anywhere; on a window or shower curtain, for example, anything that's thin enough for the magnets to catch.
the self stiring mug would be good for coffee bought at our MacDonald's , cause they never stir the sugar in so you end up drinking a mouth full of sugar at the bottom of the cup
I mena it works great if you don't want to look for a spoon. Also it did mix that protein powder very good. Wich is something that it's annoying to do and
The self stirring mug isn’t as dumb for those that have motor limitations!!!!
Agreed
😁
Not to mention the fact that you don’t need to have a spoon & can remix your drink
I could see kids having fun with this cup!
My father lost an arm due to cancer. This would be helpful.
Hey James,
Here is an idea for the glasses clip, you could clip your mic to it so it does not cause feedback when wearing high neck tops
That's a really clever way to use that product! I wonder if the magnets would interfere with the mic in any way. It doesn't seem like they should, but I'm not particularly well-versed in either magnets or microphone technology haha
I use it everyday at work. I use is to hang my id badge on it. I also use it to hold my iphone headphones cord when my phone is on my hip.
@@whiskeytangofoxtrot6 Great idea using it for badge clip!!
The glasses clip is the perfect product to hold a poppy. In the UK we wear poppies every 11 November to remember the war dead. Poppies are a nightmare to clip on to your clothes
Just don't wear it on the side you have a pacemaker, if you have one.
Ok the self stirring mug is a winner, the others not so much.
If they have a replaceable sleeve on the outside to customize what it says, it'd be a real winner.
I heard they stop working after a while but I guess we will see in an update video!
The steering mug would be a fun thing for kids to play with.
It's like something the Jetsons would have
Id buy it. Almost everything i drink is something you stir/mix. It would be nice to use with hot chocolate because i end up shaking the cup around to get the bottom remixed.
The mug as a travel mug makes sense and no spoon cleaning needed at home. So pretty useful in my opinion, especially if you make a lot of powder based drinks.
Those wrist glasses are dope AF. I think they’re overthinking how embarrassing they are. Imagine caring that much about what others think.
He's clearly matching Kathy for... Reasons...
The glasses looks a little like a bracelet
I think there's definitely some uses for them. I'd rather snap it to my wrist than have glasses that have a cord behind it so you wear them as a necklace. Sunglasses on the head also looked stupid as hell to me so it's a lose lose
While I'd never want you to have a permanent co host for every episode, I LOVE when you have guests on James.
Thanks, and yeah it's nice to break things up once in a while.
I'm really not a fan of hers. I'm sure she's a wonderful lady, but I felt she wasn't a good match for your personality. I much prefer your family.
I sensed a little chemistry there 👩❤️💋👨
@@Wutevs4 Haha. Well... It just wasn't for me. I'm just one guy, so... If everyone else liked her, I guess my opinion is meaningless. Lol
I prefer just you in the videos. Yeah, she seems nice, but her opinion doesn’t really add much to your videos.
If you are gifted the burrito pop just turn it into a pet food holder for when you take your pet on a trip or out walking your dog you can stop and give them some food.
Or use it for a damn burrito! What's wrong with people??? 😡
@@johnbarber7952 it's useless for burritos 🤣 and way to expensive for no reason
How does Cathy think the sunglasses are more embarrassing than the umbrella hat 😂
There was an outdoor concert I went to a couple years back that that umbrella hat would’ve been fantastic to use.
I like the idea, but I doubt the folks behind you would appreciate it, so maybe not.
I had snap sunglasses as a kid in the early 90s when they were new. They were made entirely from sunglass tinted plastic. They were terrible, and we used them to death! Perfect for field trips, the park, amusement parks, etc. Pretty sure I still have a pair.
Personally, I would be really embarrassed walking down the street swingin' my burrito.
My brother got arrested for that.
I bet you would 😂🤣😂🤣
If you lived in LA you'd be king.
Especially if you are wearing your umbrella hat at the same time.
@@RogaineForEwoks 🤣🤣🤣🤣
if that self-stirring mug is stainless steel, you can prolly take that writing off with some lacquer thinner or xylene
The self stir cup would be very useful for iced coffee, or any other cold beverage you want to add sugar too cause usually stirring sugar into a cold drink takes a couple minutes, and theres always still grains of sugar at the bottom.
I think the umbrella hat would be good for people working in their garden
I wish I had a garden that was up high enough for me to stand up and work in it!
I STILL wouldn't use the hat. I have a raincoat lol
I would have definitely bought one when I was delivering mail, I hated having to walk a route in the rain
Why would you work on a garden in the rain why not a bucket hat or boonie
@@coreymusick2924 ----I was thinking that when I delivered newsletters to 106 houses, the hat umbrella would keep me protected plus keep my hands clear but even dog walking, would keep my hands clear for the leash & bags. The discomfort level might be an issue, headaches would be a total turn off.
I would honestly get one for when me and my mom go out boating in a sunny day, since I'm starting to get tired of holding an actual umbrella to block off the sun. I might have to 2nd guess it though since the practicality of it doesn't seem too great tbh
The glass clip could be useful for somone in a suit that has to have an ID. Just hang the I'd from it instead of the suit collar.
I wouldn’t want such strong magnets close to my body.
@@soupsgord these definitely aren’t strong enough to cause any problems unless you have metal/magnetic implants of some kind
I have 3 self stirring mugs because of this, had them like a month and they all work, I find it 10/10 for the usefulness
Been using the self stir mug for Many many years. My first one prolly 15yrs ago when I was active duty military. We drink lots of coffee. I really like it. They keep your coffee hot longer and I like not having to find a stir device. They dont last forever..... But it's only $5 here. I just bought a new one a few weeks ago. My last one had a wire come loose. Could solder it..... But wasn't worth the hassle for five bucks. I like it. Using it right now as I watch your channel.
For my exercise I walk. But I don’t have good balance so I use a walker. The umbrella would be perfect to go out on a rainy day. Two hands on the walker nothing on the umbrella.
How would wind factor in on that situation? I could honestly see that being a problem.
@@floyd2386 then they become mary poppins!!!
The umbrella thing works on street vendors. Specially when they need both hands in transaction.
The looks though isn't that weird to me cuz it is kinda norm here. If I work on street, I'd probably wear this without feeling weird.
Ensei Mada For comfort I would choose a sun hat, made of canvas with a ventilation panel, wide brim, and chin strap, that can be sprayed for bugs on the top and underside--which is what I have.
sombreros: Allow us to introduce ourselves
What state is this in where people wear umbrellas on their heads?
@@lazytongue8405 States? Lol.
Right? I was about to comment the same thing. I'm pretty sure I owned one when I was in elementary school. It's pretty neat, tbh
Always so entertaining to watch you. I so enjoyed Kathy
Have used the self stirring mug for years and love it.
The burrito pop could be used for my artist colored pencils, I could see dialing them up and being able to see all of them, then dialing them down and having them secured with a lid, but no way is it very useful for a burrito. I like the self stirring mug because when I drink hot chocolate there’s always lumps, but the mug could be made in pretty colors and designs not the dumb advertising of the mug!! Thanks for the cool video!! 😎
I would actually use the self stirring mug. Our break room at work NEVER has spoons available and stir straws suck for stirring coffee.
Dumb - 3
Useful - 9
Agreed it definitely was my favorite of the bunch and seemed the most useful
Yeah, same here. People end up using 3 plastic spoons a day with their coffee. We go through something like 500 plastic spoons per year.
I had 2 of them. I used them at work for coffee because the stir works better than those cheap stir straws. Both broke on me, the first time was my fault because I left it out on my desk over night and the coffee and creamer gunked it up. The second one I would clean it by putting dish soap and hot water. But the problem is the liquid in the cups gets to the motor and kills it. If they made a high dollar version that didn't break by gunking up or by liquid getting into the motor I would buy it.
In short, works great until it breaks
@@Zenkai76 I got my dad one that had a metal interior and instead of the blade it had a magnetic capsule that stuck to the bottom & spun around. It worked great & he actually used less sugar since it mixed his coffee with cocoa better than a spoon. He used it daily for almost a year and liked it enough that he got another one when it died from accidently putting it in the microwave.
@@typemee3757 Thanks for the Tip! I will look for that one
The sunnies, the glasses holder, the umbrella hat and the burrito vault could be useful at music festivals- keep the sun off you, wrap the sunnies on your arm while dancing wearing the hat. keep snacks in the vault like grapes or chips- turn it to raise them closer to the opening. lol
😂😂😂 the burrito holder is just the greatest invention on Earth! 😂😂😂
The umbrella hat can be used to cover food on a picnic table lol 😂👍🤩🧐
Matching nails and snap glasses!
I noticed that too.
And the thing for burritos
c
@@lorenclarke7815 111
Dude, I went to say that, and you were already the top comment.
I walk to work. At times I wish I had an umbrella hat. Haha. The mug is a kid favorite!!
Burrito pop inventor had to be high as hell when they came up with that
"We could go for takeouts at Roberto's, but I left my burrito holder at home!"
I have to thicken my liquids , will love the cup !!!! The thickener needs stirred multi times , can't wait to order this product
Cool Shrute Farms shirt Cathy!! Awesome reviews and I'm now sold on the self stirring mug👍
Thanks! 😀
I have to say, my wife and I have used the self stirring mug for about a year, using hot milk and hot chocolate powder it makes it really light, frothy and well mixed. If you don't drink fast, it keeps it warm and you can give it a fresh mix to prevent the build up of powder you get after a while, don't underestimate it!😁 Great video as always, looking stylish with that umbrella hat n snap glasses 🤣
Just playing devils advocate a bit here in defense of the burrito pop up. To me it’s clearly designed for the major, and most popular, burrito chains like Chipotle, or Pancheros. Whose burritos are very short, fat, and filled to the brim with ingredients and sauces. It doesn’t matter how much tin foil they wrap it in if you’re driving it WILL get on you. So having the tin foil to keep it warm and a container to store it, make it easier to eat while driving, and hopefully improving the cleanliness I’m 100% on board. Maybe at a lower price like $20ish would be a more fair price but I’d definitely consider the purchase. Thank you for showing this to me, love the content as always man!
It might also work for subs/heroes.
Have to agree since I prefer Moe's burritos here, but I get mine very custom... double ground beef, double rice, and pico de gallo. Useful in that regard.
I was also thinking this. The burritos I normally buy/make at home are Not like that but I have eaten Chipotle and I was like what in the world is this....lol
the driving thing is my take away. never even thought of chipotle or moes because their burritos suck compared to a proper mexican joint like Robertos, roybertos, albertos, ... bertos. lol
@@vaguedreams Just on a personal side note... Chipotle sucks compared to Moe's and in my humble opinion Moe's is actually decent...but totally get where you're coming from. We have more authentic places here, but not gonna get a 5 second burrito out of them, they're more sit-down restaurants than a Chipotle or Moe's... in which case you wouldn't need this. Bet it ironically works well with breakfast burritos, though.
This review has taught me that looks are more important than comfort.
Ikr
I would would rather have the comfort.
I thought I was dumb for feeling that way
For me it's all about functionality. Looks and comfort tie for second.
@@Mandalore06 mines functionality and comfort
I just bought some snap glasses because we're going to Disney world in May...and I'll use the hell out of those!
Yeah, super useful on rides. Don’t have to store them in a locker, OR wear a “Fanny pack” that might interfere with the safety harness. The snap glasses are definitely a product with a VERY specific usage. I can imagine them making a killing by selling them AT amusement parks, branded with the theme park logos. Especially good for people who lost their sunglasses on the previous ride! LOL Also smaller to store after the outing than the giant mug/fan combos. 😂
I'm actually curious if the reader rest would cause issues with a pacemaker.
Yes, it would. Even not as strong magnetic name tags are to be carefully considered by pacemaker wearers.
My Dad had to give up his and hated it because he loved it when he got his pacemaker.
I could see using the self stirring mug. When having hot coco some settles on the bottom as I'm drinking it. A little stir before sips would solve that problem.
This guy has so many pairs of glasses 😂😂
Way too many...
@@Freakinreviews we need a total count please
@backwoods life has he recently done a count? Cause I haven’t seen
I died laughing over the umbrella hat but love the stirring mug! I’d give the burrito gadget a 3 in useful though! Excellent reviews you are the best!
I've got the self stirring mug as a gift a while ago and found it very useful.
It's like a tiny blender so it mixes way better than the spoon, making little bit of foam in the top.
The problem is the construction quality, the batttery holder it's not well sealed, so water will infiltrate everytime you try to clean it.
This causes rust and will damage the components inside. My product stopped to work two months later, I openned up, and it was totally rusted.
Lol! He said he took off the wrist glasses because he saw himself wearing them... Then he puts on those weird hipster glasses 😂😂😂
Came here to say that. I'd be mortified to wear those steampunk glasses in public. To each his own ...
Those are MiB 3 sunglasses.
id much rather wear the slap glasses, especially if they were all black instead of the green he had
@@JaredConnell they can be found. They're great for outdoors sports.
Glad I am not the only one thinking that. 😄🙈
You can see Kathy's face of jealousy when james was eating the burrito
Should have gotten 2 burritos to test the Burrito Pop against the old fashioned way!
There was a lot of puns in that part. I mean, the object itself is ridiculous in its own way. You can tell they were cracking up about it while making the segment.
20:15 I have the exact one, from personal experience it is really good. You can use it for coffee and such, plus those instant soups that need stirring to get fully made, this is perfect.
The umbrella hat would be great for someone who is working in their yard or garden - it would be a good sun shade.
Readerest is handy for clip-on ID badges, too.
The burrito thing was $50?! THAT got funded, & they want FIFTY dollars?! Yikes. :/
Yeah that seems kind of crazy to me.
They have to pay vig to the sharks
Seems like most kickstarted products are overpriced in my experience.
I got two burrito holders...they're called hands? Lol
At first I thought the burrito holder was to keep your burrito warm while on the go.
The magnetic eyeglass holder is a definite Must Have for me!!
8:53 when you were talking about the unbrella hat i thought it was starting to thunder too! i thought wow good timing then realized it was just a loud airplane or something LOL
Can't have those magnets near a pacemaker.
As someone who owns a self stirring mug, it's definitely fun to have
both of mine broke after a couple of weeks :( the liquid leaks into the motor, wasn't for that I would love it.
Glasses: Great match to her nail polish color. Love her nails.
Clip: Would definitely use them, not only for glasses.
Umbrella hat: Just a foldable version of the Mexican charro hat, without the colorful decoration.
Sandwich holder: The only thing I liked is the color... 😁
Self stirring mug: Awesome curiosity for winter holidays. I actually want a set for the family.
That really hard about the burrito pop might be very nice to use on the beach keep the sand out of your burrito maybe also out on the boat where you have to worry about water.
Snap glasses seem good for surfing. Glasses on when waiting for a wave, waterproof, snap on the wrist when the wave action is poppin
Not to mention only like $10 so if they fall off it’s not like you’re out some expensive named branded shades.
The sunglasses can actually be useful at like a theme park when you're on a ride just snap them to ur wrist instead of them flying off ur head or pocket
You have a point
You do have a "Cedar" Point.
I am a person a go often to the beach and a cheap sunglasses like that are useful too
I’ve had something to the self stirring mug in the past and I actually liked it. Especially making powdered drinks.
Slap glasses would work wonders for a camp supervisor like I was, the fact that they are so portable and I can put them somewhere quick on my arms would be amazing
Re: Burrito pop: It's clearly to sneak burritos into movie theaters.
Good thinking, you sly one!
Sneak? Its basically a big coffee thermos, unless you gonna put it in a backpack it won't work and if you gonna use a backpack you can sneak anything
I just put snacks in my handbag, why would anyone need a $45 tupperware that highkey screams food inside? 😃
I just pour the beans directly into my purse and eat them with a ladle.

I have been using the reader rest for years and love it. Glasses will not fall off and convenient for those with readers. Great gadget.
I am here to defend the snap glasses. I want a pair. You could use them at Disneyland or somewhere like that if you didn’t want to carry a bunch of stuff around.
I have used these umbrella hats for over 20 years. They work great when you are walking to your car with two bags of shopping. I always take one when I am overseas in places like Thailand, prefect for heavy rain. Only disadvantage is when a stiff wind is blowing.
'The inventor obviously had a reason for inventing this'' Yeah, MONEY
The magnet would be perfect for inside a purse.
Another use for the Readerest that I've seen through Amazon reviews: ID holder.
As a travel mug the self stirring mug is extremely useful. No need to clean a spoon or throw away utensil trash.
I can see me using the burrito pop for my 6" Subway sandwiches.
I have to say the umbrella hat is very useful & not dumb at all. I personally love them.
I gotta say, I wear a big ol' ranger hat when it rains. The umbrella hat is not too far off for me. It looks like it would be easy to keep in the car and work great when I'm caught in the rain.
10 too umbrella and 10 too the glasses clips. Awesome video!! Thank You.

I had an umbrella rainbow hat all thru the 70’s and 80’s. Just loved it!! Great for gardening or walking in the sun! I have the magnet for glasses but I’m a quilter and hang my scissors from it!
I had the same original rainbow umbrella hat as a kid and I loved it!
Umbrella hat keeps you hands free (talk on the phone, walking the dog, pushing the stroller, carrying groceries, briefcases)
I used to have one of the self stirring mugs but it was clear That was like 20yrs ago and used to love it
Cathy’s nails matched the bracelet perfectly. 🤣
But she would not wear those snap on shades in public because of the color. Ironic.
I love your solo shows best, but every once in a while a partner is a nice change of pace. (Your kids are my fave). We get to see a different aspect of your personality with others!
The snap glasses are appealing for an amusement park day considering that’s the only place I usually lose them! Whether walking around or securing them during rides. I can also see me snapping it to the the armstrap of my backpack as I’m wearing my backpack. I always wear my sunglasses on my shirt but the neckline of my shirt isn’t so accommodating so that would be another reason id go for the snap!
For the burrito pop - definitely not at that price point but if it were cheaper there’s definitely a use here in NY. I stopped ordering burritos because the are so messy. Even in tin foil.... I take one bite and juice is dripping everywhere. Our burritos are really fat and super messy. So I guess it depends on where you get your burrito from!
Thank you James for demonstrating “dumb” products!!
As a wheelchair user, that umbrella hat is genius!
I would really like the slap glasses for river trips actually. they would probably survive pretty well in water and I bet they'd stay slapped on my wrist while swimming.
It sure is useful when you are doing an activity where you can't simply tuck your glasses away on your shirt or put it somewhere safe
Yeah and not to mention you can find them for like $10 online so if they do fall off while you’re on the rivers it’s not like you’re out a $100+ pair of Ray Bans either.
Can't wait for the long term review on the self stirring mug. Would love to see it taken apart to see how leaky it is
I like these reviews... I personally see some extra uses with both the self mixing mug and magnetic sunglasses holder. Since the sunglasses holder is magnetic I can see use for it to hang other ings with in my garage and on my fridge, and the mug I think is best when thinking about being on the move, while yes with a spoon you can mix just as well my thought is when I come back to the drink minutes later and it has already settled again and I do not have the benefit of physically stirring in the moment either because maybe I'm in traffic or simply not someone a spoon could possibly stay clean in travel and for this I think the self stir mug is probably most useful.
The unbrella hat segment was the funniest bits of your vids yet!
