5 Cereal Gadgets that Actually Work!

- Today I'm trying out five different cereal gadgets, and they actually worked! I don't know how well the dispenser will keep cereal fresh in humid air, so I'd be curious if anyone has experience in such a climate. Here’s a short update 1 year later: • 10 Previously Reviewed...

Dispenser looks like the ones I've seen in hotels with breakfast bars. Except those seem a bit more sturdy
Exactly my thought
They'll have to suffer use by way more people, so they need to be more sturdy.
@@ohauss that and some people are fucking apes and slap everything
Thank Yes I have
Store 2 boxes of cereal in the space of 6 boxes of cereal... 🤔
Unless you operate a Bed and Breakfast from your house I don't understand why you would need that 🙃
Love the reviews I’m a dairy distributor and the temp test on the 2 cups of milk 74 and 66 technically neither are safe to consume at the temperature when I distribute dairy products my refrigerated truck has to be 45 or under to be considered safe I keep it at 37 because really anything above 40 starts to decrease the milks quality. Just thought I could give some help there for people. Keep doing all the great reviews super fun to watch as always
Thank you! That explains a lot! Always grateful when you learn something that has bugged you for years. I always kept it cold, but not cold enough.
Just numbers were v confusing to me til i realised those were Fahrenheit numbers, not Metric. Phew!
I was manager at a convenience store in South Florida. I always felt so bad for the milk delivery guys. They'd bust their ass going quick as they could to get from the truck to the cooler inside the store.
@@ailinos Yeah, you want that first sip to really burn!
your truck has to be kept that low because the milk has to last another (week? two weeks? not sure the exact numbers but its at LEAST a week) past when you deliver it, its safe to consume, but only for a day or so after.
"Is it a drink or a bite?" I'm not sure why I find that line so funny 😂
Lol
my mind-
It's a gulp...
It's a "drite"
It is a pour.!
Laughed very hard when you said "I have low expectations for a lot of products." You have raised my expectations in many, just by these videos. Thanks.
That Dispenser would be good for dry cat and dog food.
or store some shopkins size toys lol
@@HalibutToast lol
LEGOs ? Lol
:0
ok i tried ur seggestion of dog & cat food... NOT good, especially with milk.
We found the Magic bag sealer sticks several years ago at the Florida State Fair and fell in love with them right away! They actually will keep things sealed and fresh for a long time even liquids won’t run out.
Rhonda B got mine at the Iowa State Fair lol! And love them as well!
Do they last? They look as though they would break easily
Patrick McCabe I’ve had mine for over 10 years. I have had cheap ones from the dollar store that are a lot more flimsy but these are pretty sturdy
You can just cut a straw length wise to get the same effect, waste of money
I've had mine for just over ten years, I don't know why but sometimes they glide on like butter other times I can't get them on lol. You'd think I would have 'em mastered. Sadly nope.
So many years and they still have yet to create cereal bags in a ziplock format !
The big bags have zip locks on them tho.
Probably royalty fees?
They've had zip locks on bagged cereal for atleast thirty years. It's now owned by malt o meal.
Sally’s cereal at Wal-Mart has seal tightening bags & I highly recommend this brand of cereal especially the Cinnamon Twist flavour & the wheat bundles. It tastes exactly like Cinnamon Toast Crunch & Frosted Mini Wheats for a fraction of the cost
you gave me a great idea
The problem with the dispenser is that the cereal will go stale. That is not air-proof and cereal goes stale QUICK!
According to the description of it, it says it keeps it fresh up to 45 days. Maybe if you always put the plugs back after you get your bowl of cereal, it really does. 🤷
@@lizzieturbeville4089 Takes to long time to remove the plugs and i don't see it works for the kids. It's to flimsy. If i look in our cabinets, the 2 that holds plastic, has all kinds of gadgets, i don't use anymore lol
Stay safe all 😷
Yeah I think a better solution would be to buy those cereal box-sized plastic pouring containers with the snap-down spout they sell in the Tupperware aisle at Walmart. We used to use them at my house to hold and pour our cat and dog food!
Using the plug and in a cool n' dry place i dont see the cereal might go bad..
My dad has one and we've kept cereal in it for over a month without issue. It probably depends on the cereal and climate
Your channel is like comfort food. And I mean that with highest respect and appreciation. Thank you for the work you do. All The Best.
I've seen cereal dispensers everywhere in hotels and stuff, most of the time they're metal I've never seen a plastic one before
The ones in hotels and whatnot are just better quality. We had a bunch of big box shaped ones at my fraternity in college as well.
The ones in college dining halls are usually plastic
They're usually plastic wym lmao
Bag clip junkies are a huge problem in our society today.
Ahhhh we live in a society...
>:(
I just roll it down. Don’t care it it gets stale
@@Thomas_Winters I just roll it down and use its own weight to shut it
@@ordinaryfellow9093 the weight of what? The plastic?
The Obol would be great for chips and dip. lol. I wonder if the cereal will get stale quicker in the dispenser.
Cereal straight from the box does not have the 'optimal' crunch/soft chew ratio. It needs time to sit in the milk before it can reach that. Different cereals take different times to hit that sweet spot. That 2 reservoir cup prevents this from happening, and this is an automatic fail IMO.
2K8Si thought that was just me for my “conditions” I don’t like eating cereal as soon as it hits the milk
"I like a gigantic bowl of cereal." GOSPEL TRUTH, Brother James! 😂 Who eats 1 cup of cereal?
1 cup of toasted muesli is actually extremely filling and also has a lot of calories if it had added nuts and seeds, I’m a big guy (6’2 100kg) and 1 cup of muesli is enough for me. If i was eating fruitloops, no way, but for some Actually nutritionally dense breakfast cereals it’s plenty
The dispenser was great for when we were kids. There are 4 of us, so deciding cereal kinds was tough, so the rule was you're only allowed to have out two kinds (two sides of the dispenser). It was also good because my mom had us limit our portions by saying we were only allowed 3 turns at a time.
I immediately went online and ordered the 'Magic Bag Sealer Sticks'. They should pay you to advertise for them!
Same man as soon as I saw how well that worked I went and bought it. Incredible.
Feck, you bought the wrong kind. The original is gripsticks and they are higher quality, ive had mine for literally years. Then china copied it... sigh.
Jerry Capizzi hope you like stale food. They do not have a air tight seal.
I got em too!
I’ve got mine for my church coffee and it’s not gone stale at all.
Best reviewer on TH-cam even if I'm not interested in the product I'm always excited to see a new video pop up thanks for the content God bless
Jonathan Pendley I was about to like your comment until I saw the last two words 🤦🏽♀️
@@k8lynmae wow, someone's salty. Who hurt you?
@@k8lynmaeyour entitled to your opinion the thing is I didnt ask you for it. #knowyourrole God bless
@@jonathanpendley5430 yesss 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Love his reviews! I never miss a video.
The Crunch Cup is absolutely a not stupid idea, unlike what I thought it was when I saw it! I love cereal but almost always between sessions working at my desk, so milk and cereal in a spillage-free cup I can drink while sitting here without staying in the kitchen actually sounds great.
Take time to relax in the kitchen old school way.... slow down
That dispenser was really cool. Hopefully the plastic holds up!
@Gabriel Gontijo Either Member of the channel, the video gets uploaded to the members earlier.
Time machine, duh. 😅

I have had these exact dispensers for 3 years now. They are pretty cheap but they have held up great and I have a teenager and an 11 year old that eat cereal pretty much every day. It works much better for cereals without fruits. Cheerios work great. Something like special k with strawberries won’t dispense many strawberries. I was shocked that it keeps cereal fresh. Of course my kids empty those things in a hurry.
I think they look great in our kitchen and people always comment on them.
Writing the measurements in metric as well as imperial is such a nice gesture, thank you and keep it up!
It's dumb his tape didn't have cm on it. In UK all our tapes have inches and cm
@@girlsdrinkfeck yeah most American tapes have cm on them too
I absolutely love the way the image looks. Bright, vivid colors, and a nice blur on objects that are near/close. I don't know much about cameras, but whatever lens you're using it really works well. I hope I can get a similar one.
I've never eaten cereal slowly enough that it's gotten too soggy for my liking, so to me all of this just doesn't beat a regular bowl, a regular spoon, and a BIG jar for the dry.
These are just overboard, all I use is a bigTupperware bowl. Go big or go home
A man of culture I see
Love the new intro & graphics (with the inclusion of measurement conversions), Freakin Reviews Team! Been watching your videos for ~4 years & it’s cool to see the growth & transition of the channel from strictly as seen on TV to Amazon & more. You’ve opened my eyes to new worlds of products/manufacturers & what to look out for when finding the right one for my needs. Always entertaining & never scripted!
I think Johnny’s friends are gonna laugh at him when they see the embarrassing spoon.
Are you saying Johnny will end up with spoon envy?
The spoon works just fine for kids. We eat cereal with small spoons in my house. It just doesnt feel right with a big spoon. My kid love those cups. He exaggerated on this but I guess its whatever your preference is.
The small spoon is a good emergency spoon for when you forget to pack one but it should attach to the dry compartment lid.
"The smaller the spoon, the smaller the -" oh, never mind!
The new animations and graphics are clean, James. Also, in my household, we use those metal office document clips as bag sealers, cereal bag sealers etc. They work like a charm.
I do, too. They're called binder clips.
same, and for a pack of several for $1, you can afford to let them go if needed.
Never considered those but imma try them. My "household" is just me and my brother and usually I get cereal that already has a closing method but metal clips would be great for those bags of chips we might sometimes buy.
Same idea- we use clothes pegs. Cheap, convenient and has multiple uses.
I am so addicted to freakin' Reviews !
Me too! My husband and I love it and refer it to “Mr. White’s reviews”
Only a minute or 2 in and not gonna lie, LOVE the new intro and segway into the product. Always love your vids. Honest and to the point. Keep up the good work!
"I have low expectations for a lot of products." 😂
"i know i say i'm surprised a lot, but.. i have low expectations for a lot of products", lol
Dude I love your reviews, There is just this good quality to you that makes it really enjoyable to watch, Keep up the good work!
I've been watching your channel for awhile and love all of your video reviews. I just wanted to say thank you for introducing me to the magic bag sticks. Out of all of the products you have reviewed this is the first one that I have ever purchased and it lives up to it's expectations from your review. So thank you for sharing and keep up the good work!
I cut off the clips of store clothes hangers and use them as chip and cereal clips.
C F: great idea. Thanks 👍
Wow genius idea.
I just leave them on and hang the cereal in the closet. Two birds, one stone.
Office binder clips work fabulously as well.
rubber bands are my go to. Plentiful and cheap
The dispenser could be good if you have kids that like different cereals.
@@Nami_Note did anyone ask? None, literally.
PureNERK screw off fool lol go outside bro, take a walk or something
It's great but sadly ours didn't have those end plugs to protect the openings so it immediately got raided by ants
Haha 70 likes
Are you kidding? Looks so flimsy kids would easily break it the first day. LOL
Magic Bag sealer sticks vs. Banooodle. I've never tried either so I'm asking.
I came across this channel and subscribed because I enjoyed your honest takes, and now I find myself buying stuff I never knew I wanted. I don’t know where you get inspiration from to try out specific gadgets but keep ‘em coming. Did I wake up today thinking I was going to buy bag clips? No.
The new graphics:
They're too long. I would cot them in half, just leave the fade in and remove the fade out.
"Cot them in half"
What's that mean?
@@mwilliamshs think they mean the time
@@eddiewhipple cot time? Like time spent laying upon a cot?
love the text transitions but would be nice to have it a bit faster - love your videos though i've been binging on all of them
I'm dyslexic, so they're perfect for me. Any faster and I'd have to pause the video to read it.
Lmao nothing is ever good enough for people these days
Those bag sealers seemed to work surprisingly well. It feels weird to be so impressed by something that seals your cereal bags but well... here we are.
Thanks for the early notice! Great job, as usual... Your reviews are always so thorough!
Hey the smurfs called: they want to know when they are getting all their spoons back
Twitter gang represent! Thanks for the early preview, James.
Edit: Watched the video. A great review, as always. Each of these gadgets are pretty neat, but most seem more luxury or "just because" than useful. However, the bag sealers stand out as an item worth purchasing for its utility. I'd wager they keep things fresher than the ole tuck-and-fold method. Might have to pick some up since they worked so well for you.
I think you're right. They definitely seemed to be the most useful, and had barely been on my radar before I started this video!
Please buy the original brand, gripsticks! They are higher quality and aren't a copy from china.
I enjoy your reviwes really much, straight to the topic, really thorrow analysis, fun and most importantly you are objectic
Those bag sealers are fantastic! We've had a few sets and have used them for quite a few years. Not as fast as a clip, but the food doesn't go stale nearly as fast!
10:09 "Boom". He's turning into Crazy Russian Hacker.
I love my crunch cup. It’s great for pouring a quick breakfast on the way out the door to eat along my commute or at work. It does take a bit of getting used to to control the ratio, I use my tongue rather than my lip, but, like you mentioned, never soggy and one handed convenience.
Man... I LOVE how every video.. You are getting better. Experimenting with the different styles!.. I guess I've just been a subscriber for that long 😂😂
Good stuff once again. Always watching 🙌🏼
OMG my friend used to sell the Magic Bag Sealers and gave me a ton of them, I love those things!!!
Ur funny I like that you make a face when you don't like something makes me laugh Seriously but your reviews are very good 👍👍 ( I love soggy cereal myself )
The dispensers are great. We used 3 of them in our office of 100 employees for over a year and there was no damage. Easy to clean. The only problem was messy employees not leaving the dial aligned so cereal wouldnt keep falling out when they walked away.
My favorite channel. Keep up the great work, James!
8:38 I think you've been watching to many as seen on TV commercials, because you create a problem nobody has, and make sure to over act by struggling like they do 😂.
Camelotsmoon I know right 😂
I came to this comment for the same reason, it was pathetic that he was acting like it was SO hard to do........
Damn you James now I want cereal an I’m not at home lol. Love the channel keep up the great work.
Me too!
I love your reviews. Keep doing what you do! :)
These litle clips look awesome! I'm getting some. My hubby is awful at box closing. He refuses to use the tabs on boxes. Instead he will push all the flaps completely inward so you literally have a completely open box! Drives me crazy! Yes yes yes!!!
FYI, I love the intro and fades and such! Looks so professional!
I really dig the bag sticks, they look like candles!! I’m definitely ordering some!!
PS: That wasn’t a regular real spoon, it was a giant tablespoon. I have a big mouth, but those are too big of bites for me... A regular spoon size to me for eating is the smaller teaspoon!
I'm one of those people who loves soggy cereal haha 😋 Bran flakes become a lot sweeter when they absorb some milk
You are a monster
Cereal is supposed to be soggy! I wait for my cereal to soak up the milk. If I wanted dry cereal I would eat it out of the box.
Same! 😊
@@ebonimom6964 you are if you like it dry af, what's the point of eating it with milk
@@Armchairwoodworker yeah probably not soggy but just right where they still have a bit or crunch but has absorbed some milk
I really want that dispenser now because I know my kids would love it. Thanks again for the reviews Mr. White! You're the best! Best regards from Finland!
Some cool gadgets. I didn't know I "needed" a cereal gadget, but I just might. :) The bag things def look good, esp if they keep stuff fresh. tyfs!
The kids will luv the dispenser... kinda like serve yourself idea.
Whats wrong with just having the boxes in a line? I see it as a waist of money and time.
TheZombieKing52 waste*
@@baxterforbes2828 thx phone typing is weird
best looking product is the dispenser hands down , looks very cheap of course, but 25$ its a steal can't wait to use this for my oatmeal. or cannib...
Chaos! 😄 made me laugh ....also....Bailey looked like she was considering attacking for a moment....but she's too sweet to do that.
Another great review by you Thank you
The graphics between products need to go for a shorter duration or overlay the graphic on top of the video instead.
Dave C that couple seconds is really killing you isn’t it
I watch on 1.25x speed and it's fine 😁
Great content but I'm really not a fan of the transitions, it feels overused or atleast over produced
I agree. Didn't like them and they took too long
I actually enjoy the transitions, it shows a bit more effort and care were put into the video, to me it does not feel "over produced", instead it makes the video flow smoother and more organized :)
Yeah, the intro one was cool.... But not for each product
@@alanmoralesmex to each their own I suppose. Clearly James likes them, I just found them a little obnoxious by the end of the video, (I think it was more the sfx that accompanied it tbf) everyone is allowed to try new things with their content :)
Hannah Goodwin it seems like there was no effort tbh. Seems like it was a template from an app so yeah, I agree
Such a fun review!!!! Thanks for the through info.
Love the new graphics you're using. Keep up the great work!
86 dislikes are from people who add milk before their cereal
Those people make me sick
Or people who put in the milk before the tea
I do that and did not dislike the video. Thumbs down me all you want.
Hey hey whats wrong with that?
Peace was an option, just put milk and cereal at the same time
@@princesidon why
His face is like he likes nothing... He says he likes it with a sad face
Good stuff as always James. I love cereal.
Great video! I'm amused by all of these solutions to combat the epic problem of soggy cereal!
Do you want ants in your cereal? Because those dispensers is how you get them
"people who like soggy cereal"
oh, you mean psychopaths?
Or old people who have trouble chewing
@@jrpueyo7531 Or people who just like flavored milk and soft cereal.
Definitely ordering the magic bag sticks and I am thinking about the crunch cup, looked really interesting! Thanks for always keeping it real!
New editing style and effects look awesome!
That's fine and all but, when are we going to see more EGG GADGETS reviews ?!!
Because he just doesnt have enough of them on his channel
I love your reviews 😍
Another great and useful video.
Thanks 👍
Those sealer sticks would be great for so many things, including my dog’s treat bags. They all have that little notch to rip the bag open, and then a self-seal strip, like zip-lock bags. But, I never rip that notch correctly; either that, or the self-seal strip is too close to the tear. So, the self-seal feature frequently doesn’t seal, and treats get stale. I end up pouring the treats into a zip-lock bag. Gotta get these! Thanks for the reviews, James!
I buy those magic bag sealers every year at the Iowa State Fair.... Absolutely love them!! Highly recommend!
Do they break easily? They look great, but not sure how sturdy they are.
love how it's just straight to the point.
Definitely getting some of the bag sealers. This video made me so hungry. I love cereal so much!
Crunch cup:
Is it a drink? Is it a bite? Drite? Bink?
The Obol comes in a larger double serving size for only $4 more. Since I'm just starting to eat cereal as a breakfast option, I think I'll get the smaller size. Amazon shows another divided bowl option for $8.99.
Bag clips are cool as hell.
The rest...are great ways to make eating cereal complicated.
Hi James, thanks for another interesting review.
Are you able to try out a few ‘bag sealers’ next, please?
If possible, keeping in mind those with lower dexterity capabilities?
Cheers! 👍
Awesome video! I really liked the intro and transitions! They're small details, but they really show a bit more effort and care; the video flows smoother and feels more organized. Good thinking! :)
We've had the magic bag sealer sticks for at least five years here in the UK. I remember buying a pack of five for £1 from a poundstore back then, and I still use them mainly on frozen veg.
Really good light setup! Looks great
5:22 "But as I am learning to adjust my lip over that h- opening It seems like" haha! Keep up the good work.
Hi James! I actually have some canoe bags that work just like the bag clips on a much larger scale. If you put water into the clip and pour it out before installing, the clip slides on easier. Water won’t get into the bag because it’s folded over. Also, try the milk temperature test again. This time keep the cup level to keep the coolant even. Fill the cup with cereal as the air pockets will act as an insulator slowing the transfer of heat. Most people would eat their breakfast as soon as they got to work or school. I think 1 hour might more closely represent the time/temperature that most would eat it. Thanks for your time and these great videos!
I've had those bag sealer sticks for a few years and they really do a great job of sealing stuff so it doesn't go stale.
Man I’m not sure if anyone has mentioned your Dali. The “Swans Reflecting Elephants”. I had that piece in my room when I still lived at home, and my mother hated it. Lol. Much love man. Love your channel. Keep it up.
Great breakfast gadget reviews, & ur xtra notes about cracking boiled eggs.
Yesss I’ve been waiting for the crunch cup
This was a great review thanks. I had to pause and eat cereal while watching this 😂
The last one would be GREAT for hiking, but with yoghurt and granola instead of cereal
Thanks for the early tweety bird acess for us! Great vid as always. Those bagclips definitely seem like a must. I use those regular red chip clips and they work but do get annoying in certain situations and boxes, etc. Never seem to fully seal party-size bags either. Like the dispenser, but it looks too short for my bowls. Cups seem meh since I'm more of just a dry cereal person usually, but I like the OBOL, neat design.
I bought those cereal dispensers for my sister in laws bird food. She has two love birds, it works like a charm! Have had it for 3 years now.
