I teach 3D design to high school students, and these gadgets made me think about redesign for accessibility. Not everyone has manual dexterity or mobility to cut a bagel or separate eggs. Even though the products seem a bit gimmicky they could be helpful. The format of the video is great and I love the redesign idea on butcher paper on the fly.
Even if it's not always the case, designers are often searching for esthetic, then they think about the uses, but they forget to think about disabled people and CLEANING, i work as pastry chef in France and it's hard to find professional tools that are easy to clean while it would be easily doable whith just some improvement, i had a chocolate temper machine and it was a real hell to clean, it takes few hours just because of all the 90° angle corners😒.
Same, a lot of times when I watch videos from this series, that's exactly what I think about too. But if a product is that hard to use for someone without dexterity or mobility trouble, wouldn't it be even harder to use for those with trouble? I'm thinking especially about gadgets like the butter slicer here
Why redesign it at all? It doesn't even work well compared to even the simplest alternative. Those stamped sheet metal ones you put on top of a cup separate the egg faster than you can throw away the empty shell. And they don't look gross while doing so...
Dan, Dan, the gadget man!!! I have Rhumatoid Arthritis and am always looking for things to help me do stuff independently. Sometimes they work, sometimes not. But this is a much needed resource for those who are disabled.
My mum has arthritis in her hands and has like no grip. When I see some of these type of things I can see the helpfulness and others I'm like that is way worse cos it takes more like hand strength then the conventional tools!
The bagel slicer, we had in my college dining hall. There it's a pretty ideal invention, as you don't want sharp knives laying around for anyone to handle. I imagine it'd also be good for parents who have kids that like to be kitchen savvy.
I actually have a bagel cutter like that just a different brand. I have nerve damage and arthritis in my hands so I don't have a steady hand, so cutting is hard and I have trouble doing it evenly, so I like the product
The bagel guillotine seems like it would be good for people with arthritis or tremors since all you need is pressure on top instead of gripping a knife.
it's more about quick of ease. We have one at the hotel i work at and we would rather you use the guillotine to quickly slice your bagel and move on rather then sit there with a plate and knife and take too long cutting your bagel
'I don't know if that offends anyone's aesthetic sensibilities.' Most beautiful sentence I have heard all week, only just in front of 'bananas are waterproof'
yeahh I agree, because the Bagel Guillotine was pretty "useful" but it's really harder to clean it as it would be with a knife, and use a loot of space in the kitchen. Buttt maybe in a restaurant could be more useful because they have to cut a large amount of bagels.
@@camilacuevas7720 exactly! these gadgets are more for restaurant at high volume in short time. I dont need it to cut 1 bagel. Heck even a family of 10, you can easily use a knife.
The fact that just about all of these face competition from one single kitchen utensil, the knife, that pretty much sums up the pointlessness of most of the contraptions reviewed. It's reinventing the wheel but making it rhomboid
It's interesting to see how left-handed people vary in ability to use their non-dominant hand. My left-handed father can use computer mice, can openers, etc. It's pretty cool to see him using a computer mouse while simultaneously writing in a notebook. He can also make simple scissor cuts with his right hand if he has to. He told me my grandmother was profoundly left-handed. She had all the gadgets, including a robust stash of scissors throughout her house.
@@Katharine888 I learned righty scissors because we had too many South Paws and not enough scissors in school. Mice took me a while to get use to. Laddels with spouts and icecream scoops annoy me, I dont hold a pen properly but my writing is neat.
I'm also a Product Designer, I just wanted to add something regarding the bagel slicer. The bagel slicer is also designed for the blind, as it can be dangerous for those with visual problems to use knifes. So a device like the bagel slicer, that is designed for that purpose, is great. But majority of people, unless you're afraid of knives, it's just an option.
It was originally created because of an "epidemic" of occupational hand-slicing injuries in 90s coffee shop employees. Rushing to make Rachel, Ross, Chandler, Monica, and Joey their bagels and *slash* I'm not kidding.
I agree, I saw a similar yolk separator that was in the shape of a bird and the egg white would come out of its beak (single exit), which was far more efficient than Mr. Sneezy
I've actually wanted a bagel guillotine for a while now. Something he neglects to mention is that the knife slides through easily with fresh bagels, but with slightly older bagels that are a lot harder (Once I get them cut I can spray them with a water bottle and put them in the toaster and they're just like new) they are also harder to cut so more danger of cutting yourself.
I know this is an extra step, but a quick 15 seconds in the microwave would make all the difference. The one thing I do like about the bagel slicer is that it does cut the bagel evenly, whereas when I cut a bagel, I couldn't cut it evenly if my life depended on it lol.
@@coryCuc Will this work on English muffins too I wonder? I just had some this morning and lord I am annoyed with their interpretation of "pre-sliced" --- yeah, like a raccoon was trying to shred it!!!!
That’s to hide his full sleeve of prison gang tattoos. Today he reviews Mr. Sneezy, but in a past life he was part of a dark New York underworld bringing pain to all who dare oppress his local bagelry.
I would love to see a section that caters to those with disabilities. Some gadgets are created with disabilities in mind. For example, the bagel cutter. Although it seems useless to the man in the video, it is very helpful for someone with arthritis or tremors. Cutting normally can be a difficult task, so being able to just put it in a gadget and cut it helps a whole lot
@@shuruktigarajeswaran9852 yeah I know, but that doesn't like specifically cater to it ya know. I don't know how to explain it, but there could be a better test for it. Also, it should add to the buy rating. Like how I mentioned in my comment, the bagel cutter would be very helpful for those with disabilities like tremors or arthritis, but he totally wrote those things off
My bf and his dad both leave crumbs in the butter when it’s left out in a butter dish to be served with a knife. I think the butter dispenser could have a use-case here, as it would prevent them from putting a knife in the butter and getting crumbs in it. Basically, I can see this being useful as a butter protector
additionally, you don't have to peel off the packaging everytine you get butter. Just grab the dispenser, slice a bit, then store it back. So damn convenient
@@harveyknguyen well I've never heard of such method. 😂 I think that way the cereal will stay crispy for sure, but i dont think it would be enjoyable. Ill stand by putting the milk first and adding cereal a bit at a time. Its the best experience. You gotta try it! 🤷🏼♀️😂
I haven't eaten cereal in over a year, but when I'm inclined to again, I'll grab that fancy cereal bowl. Would prefer ceramic, though. Not a fan of plastic bowls.
Bagel related hand injuries (cutting through the bagel into your hand) cause about 2,000 ER visits per year . A bagel cutter is a wise investment for the office break room.

In defense of the butter stick thing losing the time test, the part where it saves time is not getting the first one slice of butter, but the consecutive slices, where you can take out the thing with the stick already loaded, yeet the lever, and put it back for when you next need it. Although it is a pretty useless gadget you might aswell just take out a knife and cut it every time.
@@Kiki.Datter.Af.Lothbrok the comment said “he’s gotta get his own video channel” which means he doesn’t have a channel and the commenter wants him to have one
It's useful for diners and restaurants and the likes where you maybe have a breakfast buffet. You wanna portion the butter ahead of time because you don't want one table to hog all of the butter for themselves or guests to mangle the butter with a knife and make a mess. Granted, you can also buy butter in small pre-portioned packages, but slicing butter like this saves waste.
It is admittedly not well-designed tho. There's ones that can portion an entire stick with just one application and they'd typically use some form of cutting wire instead.
I love that you always have suggestions yo make the product better. It makes it way more enjoyable plus you help the creatures come up with great ideas to improve their products keep it up!!
Reason for the manual juicer over the electric- The electric one he uses is $100. The manual one is $20. The manual one also advertises itself as being for camping or travel when you would not have electricity.
Yes but when you are camping, will you have a flat surface to lock the device to? Also, knowing how much effort it takes, would you just decide to not have juices/smoothies whilst camping or perhaps just buy them pre made. Lastly, this is a clear case where the expensive electric version is worth way more than x5 the manual version, so is much better value for money.
@@ouzoloves Definitely not backpacking, but would work fine for casual camping at the type of park where you park near your tent or any other travel situations where you don't have access to a juicer. Not all places have that type of pre-made juice, especially if you make unique blends. Many of the reviews on Amazon for the juicer actually mention preferring it to more expensive electric juicers because of the ease in cleaning it. Very few parts and easy to disassemble.
No outdoorsman in their right mind would haul a damned juicer with them camping. They'll just eat the fruit instead of juicing it. It's better for you anyways.
I found this video by accident and fell in love with Mr. Sneezy at first sight. I'm disabled on my right side so I cannot seperate eggs and a lot of recipes call for that which I cannot make. A one handed seperator like Mr. Sneezy would be a godsend and he's so deliciously disgusting! Love it!
The slow juicer is actually a wheatgrass juicer-hence the small teeth. I have one like that and the suction cup has a wrenchlike tool to turn it. It also has a separate clamp to hold onto a table. Lots of parts but it works-for wheatgrass
The Never Soggy Cereal Bowl is a Life-Changing solution for those of us who need to carry around our cereal and multi-task while attempting to eat breakfast: sort out the kids, finish getting dressed, sort out the kids, check work email, sort out the kids, feed the dog, login to the Morning Team Zoom meeting, sort out the kids, etc. When we finally have a moment to resurface, our bowl of cereal is now WAY past soggy. (Although it is the perfect consistency for a paper mâché craft project, handy for sorting out the kids later). Whereas, with the Never Soggy Cereal Bowl, we could just take a breath, sit back, and spend 90 whole seconds of relative peace and quiet, finishing our nice crispy breakfast. Priceless.
i think a lot of these are so helpful for those with disabilities, and even chronic illnesses. some of these sound SO much easier for me or my mom instead of just doing it the 'simple' way
not him calling the butter cutter useless when that’s the one i wanted to get 💀 i’m imagining it would be super convenient once loaded to just grab it out of the fridge for quick butter when cooking
"Now the question is do the bananas go in the cereal part or do they go in the milk part ?" No i think the question is WHY DO YOU EAT CEREAL WITH BANANAS ?
For the banana slices, two things: 1) Fry them in butter over low heat. The salt from the butter is the perfect amount to season the bananas, and the way frying them turns them into cloud-like pillows encased in a delicate caramel shell is just the chef's kiss. 2) Put the fried bananas in the milk. Oddly enough, the mix of butter and fried banana flavors the milk in a way that is sublime.
I remember there was an attempt to make a cereal bowl to stop soggy cereal on Pitchmen with Billy Mays and Anthony Sullivan. The one issue they kept running into is trying not to make the bowl look like a dog bowl
I love bagel guillotines! Never bought one for myself, bc I never buy bagels often enough to justify but I used to go to this organization that served bagels often and I could never cut it myself as well as the cutter
I've had one of those bagel guillotined for about 20 years. I've sliced my hand pretty good when cutting bagels in the past and use this one all the time. The bagels here in CO certainly aren't as big as they were back in NY.

@@dhelor That too! If you can't disassemble that bagel cutter, how do you clean and even sharpen that blade?
@@Someonedood the blade comes out so you can wash it. The crumbs at the bottom you just shake out or rinse under water and air dry

But if a product is that hard to use for someone without dexterity or mobility trouble, wouldn't it be even harder to use for those with trouble? I'm thinking especially about gadgets like the butter slicer here
Designing Mr. Sneezy to have a slight tilt back would be an improvement for his dribbling, and also would make him look up at you from the counter.
Or, you could just separate one egg at a time. It doesn't dribble if you don't overload it
I think an even simpler way to redesign it would be to include a plug for the nostril that can be easily removed
Why redesign it at all? It doesn't even work well compared to even the simplest alternative. Those stamped sheet metal ones you put on top of a cup separate the egg faster than you can throw away the empty shell. And they don't look gross while doing so...

10:00 I was not expecting that Rick and Morty reference. I sure hope he dresses as Rick for Halloween, lol
Dan is the man! He's gotta get his own video channel, he's hilarious and informative!
I didn’t know that. What’s his channel?
@@Kiki.Datter.Af.Lothbrok the comment said “he’s gotta get his own video channel” which means he doesn’t have a channel and the commenter wants him to have one
@@vivaciousmyosotis Oh! I see that now! Thank you!
@@Kiki.Datter.Af.Lothbrok You’re welcome :D
who the hell invented a device to cut sticks of butter into slices lmao??
It's useful for diners and restaurants and the likes where you maybe have a breakfast buffet. You wanna portion the butter ahead of time because you don't want one table to hog all of the butter for themselves or guests to mangle the butter with a knife and make a mess.
Granted, you can also buy butter in small pre-portioned packages, but slicing butter like this saves waste.
It is admittedly not well-designed tho. There's ones that can portion an entire stick with just one application and they'd typically use some form of cutting wire instead.
Maybe it is for disabled people (even tho it’s not v good..)
Its useful for eldery people i guess
The most cursed creation
I love that you always have suggestions yo make the product better. It makes it way more enjoyable plus you help the creatures come up with great ideas to improve their products keep it up!!
Never Soggy Cereal Bowl: Perfect for any cereal!
Weetabix: Am I a joke to you?
“At this point I’m wondering, if the people who designed this, ever tried using it” lmaooooooooooooooo
That bagel guillotine was great when I had to slice 30 bagels at 5:00am to open up at Starbucks
Damn I bet. It would be good for slicing multiple bagels
oh definitely doing that by hand sounds like a nightmare.
Reason for the manual juicer over the electric- The electric one he uses is $100. The manual one is $20. The manual one also advertises itself as being for camping or travel when you would not have electricity.
the real question is why would you bring a juicer to the beach ? I mean buy caprisun like everybody else.
Yes but when you are camping, will you have a flat surface to lock the device to? Also, knowing how much effort it takes, would you just decide to not have juices/smoothies whilst camping or perhaps just buy them pre made. Lastly, this is a clear case where the expensive electric version is worth way more than x5 the manual version, so is much better value for money.
@@ouzoloves
Definitely not backpacking, but would work fine for casual camping at the type of park where you park near your tent or any other travel situations where you don't have access to a juicer. Not all places have that type of pre-made juice, especially if you make unique blends.
Many of the reviews on Amazon for the juicer actually mention preferring it to more expensive electric juicers because of the ease in cleaning it. Very few parts and easy to disassemble.
No outdoorsman in their right mind would haul a damned juicer with them camping. They'll just eat the fruit instead of juicing it. It's better for you anyways.
@@mokko759
Not backpacking, but the more casual camping. Campground in a tent, but your car is parked on your camping allotment.
I found this video by accident and fell in love with Mr. Sneezy at first sight. I'm disabled on my right side so I cannot seperate eggs and a lot of recipes call for that which I cannot make. A one handed seperator like Mr. Sneezy would be a godsend and he's so deliciously disgusting! Love it!
These particular videos bring me endless joy. 5/5
"Disgusting but effective"
I see my exes mentioned me
Surprisingly he didn’t add a rubber bottom on the bagel cutter to keep it stable. Would’ve been my first improvement.
I have a silicone place mat at my work station. There are lots of things it helps with. So for $2 you have a nonslip grip for all your kitchen items.
The slow juicer is actually a wheatgrass juicer-hence the small teeth. I have one like that and the suction cup has a wrenchlike tool to turn it. It also has a separate clamp to hold onto a table. Lots of parts but it works-for wheatgrass

Someone" Why did you bought that bread cutter? "
Someone:"Because I'm from NY 🙂"

Dan is precious and down to Earth. I love him and hope he comes back often.
2:46 I’m going to lose my mind 😂😂😂😂😂 when the imposter is sus 😳😳😳😂😂😂
The Never Soggy Cereal Bowl is a Life-Changing solution for those of us who need to carry around our cereal and multi-task while attempting to eat breakfast: sort out the kids, finish getting dressed, sort out the kids, check work email, sort out the kids, feed the dog, login to the Morning Team Zoom meeting, sort out the kids, etc. When we finally have a moment to resurface, our bowl of cereal is now WAY past soggy. (Although it is the perfect consistency for a paper mâché craft project, handy for sorting out the kids later). Whereas, with the Never Soggy Cereal Bowl, we could just take a breath, sit back, and spend 90 whole seconds of relative peace and quiet, finishing our nice crispy breakfast. Priceless.
Have you tried the crunch cup? It's the same aim but easier to use and more transportable imo.
I feel like it is well-designed for if you need to spoon-feed another person who may need a lot of time between bites
Love these videos. Also love Rick and Morty reference.
dfgh
What time?
@@elliehenry9011 10:00
@Julian Sanchez you aren't either
Oh. my. god.
i think a lot of these are so helpful for those with disabilities, and even chronic illnesses. some of these sound SO much easier for me or my mom instead of just doing it the 'simple' way
not him calling the butter cutter useless when that’s the one i wanted to get 💀 i’m imagining it would be super convenient once loaded to just grab it out of the fridge for quick butter when cooking
Alternative Video title: New York man salty over bagel slicer.
😂💀
I was missing one of these videos, I have a very good soap holder and was thinking what he would think of it, its like a leaf shaped funnel.
So the butter dispenser redisgn is basically a stapler!
...two things I'd never thought would be in the same sentence...
Directions unclear. Buttered toast sliced my tongue in half after using stapler to dispense stapled butter onto bread.
The anti soggy ceral bowl looks useful for painting as well
The bagel was the perfect size. What the hell are you talking about. It fit perfectly with no wobble inside the device.
What if they did an episode where he redesigns famous kitchen gadgets like as seen on tv products. Slap chop
He's done the slap chop! Check out their video on 7 slicing kitchen gadgets 😁
Alton Brown taught me never to buy a single-purpose tool for the kitchen, and these are no exception.
Dang, not even a garlic mincer? Those can be pretty magical. Especially if you're as obsessed with garlic as I am
@@aelie242 I mince garlic in a food processor, similar to how i do onion
@@aelie242 yall.. knives. Smash and slice
@@aelie242 far too messy for my taste. I agree with Vita, a knife gets the job done.
Low key this is how I feel about toaster. We have pan guys.
Remember when he said "ive been designing gagets for 38 years"😔
What's sad about it?
@@lisbethdc idk
@@lisbethdc Maybe that it was two years ago
4:51 the way the egg while from one hole drains egg white from second hole is hilarious :D
My mom has had a Mr Sneezy for as long as I can remember. Thing was hilarious as a kid, and if I’m honest it still kinda is
i gotta say that cereal bowl is something i’d never use since i like soggy and crunchy cereal together.
Sounds perfect for you, then!
The milk-cereal separator is some real lesson on good design. They even thought about how to hold the bowl while standing, that's really cool.
I feel like the bagel slicer is something that’s great for young kids and people with a seeing disability
or me who can't cut in a straight line.
Bagels are just kind of annoying to cut
i love for the clip of him walking around with the bowl, crunching on the cornflakes
"Now the question is do the bananas go in the cereal part or do they go in the milk part ?"
No i think the question is WHY DO YOU EAT CEREAL WITH BANANAS ?
Because plain grain cereal with milk is bland, and fruits are delicious and healthy.
You haven't lived until you've had cereal with fruit.
If he keeps using his “less dominant hand” he’ll soon be ambidextrous! 👀
im so glad we're getting videos about product design, it's a field i want to break into in the future and seeing him vibing is very inspiring
I live in NYC and i forgot that our bagels are on steroids compared to others.
My brain while he is slicing the bagel:
*"EXECUTION, BURN IT BURN IT, BURN THE WITCH, THAT WITCH WILL SURVI-"*
For the banana slices, two things:
1) Fry them in butter over low heat. The salt from the butter is the perfect amount to season the bananas, and the way frying them turns them into cloud-like pillows encased in a delicate caramel shell is just the chef's kiss.
2) Put the fried bananas in the milk. Oddly enough, the mix of butter and fried banana flavors the milk in a way that is sublime.
@E.T. Phone Home I honestly haven't tried cinnamon with it. I personally think nutmeg would work better, but you do you.
I want to try how effective Mr. Sneezy is with a single nostril vs two. I think having two nostrils, makes the whites comes out of both holes.
I remember there was an attempt to make a cereal bowl to stop soggy cereal on Pitchmen with Billy Mays and Anthony Sullivan. The one issue they kept running into is trying not to make the bowl look like a dog bowl
I immediately click these videos when I see them in my feed. LOVE this series and Dan!!
The fact that Dan did a perfectly placed joke about the butter stick and the video editors didn’t get it makes me mad and happy at the same time
The fact that Dan made a Rick and Morty reference makes him all the more awesome. Honestly love watching this man, he gives me sarcastic dad vibes ✨✨
6:52 "bananas are water proof"
Thats my biggest take-away from this
Only thing I would redesign on that bowl is making the cereal side deeper but that's cuz I like to eat alot of cereal
"Your purpose in life is to pass the butter"- Rick Sanchez 👏👏👏 Love a casual Rick and Morty reference.
The bagel cutter works pretty well for hotel breakfast type places.
I love bagel guillotines! Never bought one for myself, bc I never buy bagels often enough to justify but I used to go to this organization that served bagels often and I could never cut it myself as well as the cutter
Long time user of the bagel 🥯 guillotine and I stand by that product. It’s awesome for a one purpose product
I've had one of those bagel guillotined for about 20 years. I've sliced my hand pretty good when cutting bagels in the past and use this one all the time. The bagels here in CO certainly aren't as big as they were back in NY.
I have that bagel slicer, and honestly it’s one of the most useful tools I’ve ever had.
I love this series, it makes me think about design, I find myself looking at gadgets more critically when I go shopping
Wow that cereal bowl is great !
