Takes way too long compared to doing it manually but I totally agree with you on it being great for those disabilities, arthritis or even a broken arm/hand.
For some reason, your monotonous voice and honest reviews are so soothing to me. Whether I'm trying to sleep, or am genuinely curious about the products, you get the job done for me. Many thanks, mate!
I have a shirt folding board, my wife thought I was crazy when I bought it (she still does), but I love it. The first time I saw one was on Big Bang Theory being used by Sheldon.
Regarding the shirt-folder.. Personally, I just throw my clothes in the closet like it's a garbage room most of the time. So this device would probably do wonders for me.. But then again, since I'm too lazy to even try to fold my clothes now, chances are I won't even do it with this device. (If I even could get my ass to order it in the first place).
I still have my bag sealer from 30 yrs ago. The only change I see here in design is its more rounded. Mines still works and has a magnet on bottom to stick to fridge.
I absolutely do the same thing! It's brilliant, space-saving, time-saving, less confusing, and I just like the way my towels look all rolled in the Bathroom, and it indeed makes packing for a trip simply genius. You can fit twice, 3X as much when you roll your things! Even sheets, jeans, etc... When you live in a small studio, space saving has GOT to be perfected! 🙏😃
The notebook is really cool. I'd buy it. I'm a writer myself and having kids now it is hard to even decide when is best time to write in a notebook or to type on computer. Now that the actual writings can be uploaded conveniently, I won't have to shy away with anything getting possibly destroyed or a bunch of notebooks piling up taking space. Never knew something like this existed. New subscriber here! Thanks!

The only correct answer is to only own one of them (times the number of beds you own) That way you take it off, wash it, and put it back on the bed, you never need to fold it.
A woman I knew who worked in the bedding department could fold them pretty well but not well enough to be considered "new". I worked in display and always used the patterns I liked so I could buy those "damaged" goods plus my discount. My twin bed was always dressed beautifully.
for the issues you initially had with the floppy straw, I recommend looking at telescoping metal ones. They're reusable, resizable (for smaller cups), and sturdy. I have a few and I LOVE them.
As a office supply junkie I have to say I am most intrigued by the Rocketbook Everlast Journal. I take a lot of meeting notes and then upload them to Evernote, so I definitely can see where this would cut down on me buying pads of paper.
The shirt jigs are useful when you need to fold hundreds of shirts for retail or the like. The shirts are generally pressed from the print shop/factory so wrinkles rarely happen. From experience the easiest way to deal with the sleeves is to repeat the first side flap a second time.

I have a bad back and got a folding board, what a different it made. About 4 or 5 was my limit previously but I was able to fold my entire wardrobe and they are now all the same size so stack well

Actually you can make the folding board with Amazon boxes so easily. I was about to buy a folding board but after all I made it with the boxes and I'm totally satisfied with the quality.
A friend of mine bought me a wine bottle stopper with a beautiful piece of Venetian glass on the top of it. It was designed to re-seal a wine bottle if you didn't drink it all. She said it was meant as a gag gift.
I originally wanted the same kind of straw that you reviewed, but got a 4-pack of some collapsible metal straws for christmas, and I have to say, the metal straws are very easy to control!
I don't know if it's the same for everyone else but if you want a reusable straw, you're probably not the kinda person who will be going into Starbucks and getting disposable cups. I tend to stay away from plastic drink cups.
Yep. Almost no one who wants to live Green will drive(!) to the next XYZ to get a disposebale Cup and get back. It's more for home usage or maybe when you go out, get a cocktail, and would get a disposable Straw in your reusable Glass or something. And after all... if you didn't have a problem with disposable cups, you wouldn't give a single Shit about Straws anyways. The plastic lid is propably more Plastic anyway, plus the Cup itself out of Paper (or even more Plastic...) Plus for Citizens of the EU, including myself, desposable plastic Straws will be forbidden in 2021. So either you won't get a straw at all or you can (propably) only get one reusable in the Bar or whatever that you need to give em Back.
Straw would be nice in places like the San Diego Zoo and other places that have banned straws and lids. If you're there with your little kids and they spill a lot when the drink is not covered, so they need a straw and for you to hold the cup. I don't blame the zoo, I blame all the lazy a$$ people that couldn't walk a few extra steps to a trash can to put the straws and lids into, so they don't end up in with the animals.
I actually carry a reusable straw, not because I'm necessarily trying to be green, but because none of my local restaurants offer straws anymore, and the cold bothers my teeth.
The rocket book is great however I did find a flaw, so here in Florida we can get very humid. After a long day of class and note taking in a AC building we all went outside for lunch and the temperature change and outdoor humidity caused all the notes to almost melt and some become unreadable. So now I make sure I capture the images via the app before I leave lolI think they have another version that you put in the microwave to heat up to remove the ink.
Those pens are actually erasable with friction. That's why they have a rubber end. I didn't know water would work I have some write in the rain paper I used for scoring bicycle racing in the rain. I am going to give it a try.
@@Dicyroller It's the heat causes by friction. If you accidentally heat the page too much the writing will disappear. There's one easy trick to revive it though: Just pop it in a freezer for an hour, and EVERYTHING ever written with frixxion pens will reappear.
I had the Eurosealer almost 25 years ago. I'm pretty sure It was free with another purchase. The OG chip bag sealer was much better than that one you got there.
Memories, my bf had a couple shirt folders, he loved to buy as seen on tv. He never used it, but he had it just in case! Lol... RIP MTR 💔 He had the bag sealer too 😁
Great review on the FLEXIT 2.0! Really creative and fair. Bonus points to mentioning the Judas Priest wristbands, ha ha! FYI, we have updated the design! We now have an entirely new battery case, hook, and even stronger magnets!
I have two adult sons, a son-in-law, a step-father, and three brothers I have a hard time finding Christmas gifts for. Unless you outdo yourself between now and when I start my Christmas shopping for 2020, they are all getting a Flex-it 2.0. Thanks!!
I only buy one gift for each of my grandchildren. Adults get checks. I got tired of giving and receiving useless gifts that we would designate to a box somewhere until we finally donated to a thrift shop. We buy too much crap! Christmas shouldn't be a buying spree. It has been so easy to enjoy the holidays now without the commercialism. Every year people feel they have to buy more and go deeper into debt. Time to make new rules for your family. edit: I forgot to mention that 1. only have one grandchild born at this time (one on the way) but still send money for preparation. 2. the one grandchild already born gets a check in with the one for his parents.
I’m glad I watched this video! My partner is very hard to shop for lol. The flexit flashlight would make a perfect gift! He works for UPS and I think the product would make his life a little easier. Wonder if the flashlight will stick to the inside of the truck walls? 🧐
I'm always impressed at how real you are with the reviews - even when you didn't realize that clip came off on the bag sealer. Thanks for being authentic. If I had to choose which product, it would be the sealer.
I got a telescoping straw last spring at an international tournament I worked at. It wasn’t expensive and the organization had the cases printed with their logo. I carry it in my purse and use it when I’m out to eat. Works just fine.
the issue I see with that chip bag resealer is that chips are packaged in Nitrogen Gas to help preserve them. Resealing the bag with oxygen won't keep them very long. They will still lose flavour and become stale, grant it perhaps 1 or 2 days longer than if you hadn't sealed the bag at all.
I have that exact cutter/sealer tool. I love it! My cutter works fine. You have to make sure you are using the slanted edge of the blade, or it doesn’t cut right. So you have to make sure you’re moving it in the right direction.
Ha. I have one of those and literally thought the exact same thing when I got mine. I don’t understand how they came up with the name and the logo on it is a crest with BL. Strange.
@@fightingfaerie Not just that, but you don't have to worry about having the right notebook for what you're doing. You can have a notepad at work and at home. Or one that lives on your desk and one that lives in your bag. Personally, I wind up with tons of notebooks that wind up only being partially used, so this would clear a lot of clutter very quickly.
Chris L personally I think the biggest selling point is that you can search for something and it will find the notes where you had written about that thing. Rather than having to look through possibly hundreds of pictures of notes for the one you want, it will find it for you.
I’m definitely getting that rocket book, that thing is really cool! I’m always grabbing for paper to doodle ideas down and this would be perfect!!! I love it!
Okay, for better results folding shirts with the first gadget, grab the hem of the shirt at the two sides and shake it before you put it down. That should eliminate the bunched up front.
@@tommytoms5445 Lay the shirt flat. Look at the hem of the shirt, this is the lowest edge. Notice the middle portion of the hemmed area, do not clasp this portion. Notice the shirt has side seams, take hold of the hem at these 2 side seams. Use google translate in future.
One question has been in the back of my mind with every review video I’ve watched on your channel, where do you store all the items you’ve reviewed? You must have phenomenal storage!
Really??? I'm tempted. I've seen those or something similar before on these kind of vids, in my OCD makes folding shirts an impossible way to win. Saves time too? Idk, that's like, super life changing LOL I'm not good with change. Joke (the only one that I can remember by the way): Q) why did the lady walk outside with her purse open? ~your turn to answer~ 🦗🦗🦗 A) she expected some change in the weather 🥴🍅🥁
I got the biggest laugh watching you seal the bags of chips. My dogs heard the sound and ACCOSTED ME!!!! Needless to say...I then had to go give them said chips!!!
That’s what I was go I g to say. Department and clothing stores have those on rolling carts for folding clothes on displays. As someone commented above, if you had a shoulder or arm injury and are operating in “handicapped” mode, it’s pretty helpful. Also might get your kids more inclined to properly fold their shirts.
I adore silicone straws! My favorites are the slightly wider straws than you've shown but I also have those exact straws and they work well. Due to my health, I am in bed often. The "bendiness" helps me sip from a laying position and the silicone does not hurt my teeth (I sometimes have muscle spasms and metal against teeth is quite awful). They are easy to clean with any straw brush and don't mold easily. If you often eat out, you can buy silicone straws with metal bottoms that will easily poke through disposable lids.
@@mjc0961 I don't eat out at all (health) and so I never use disposable containers. But I'm not going to judge someone that eats out as most fast food eateries (and most restaurants in general) won't allow you to bring in outside containers.
@zerotoeleven I freaking adore my bed so I'm happy to answer. I needed the most comfortable, soft bed to absorb my body and, after a dozens of mattress shops, I found the Serta iComfort Wellbeing Refined. I've made everyone who stays with us try it and they cannot believe how soft it is. It is like sleeping on the most pressure relieving cloud mixed with the gravity free feeling of a hammock. It isn't for everyone but I adore it. After almost 5 years of owning it, I'm still so thankful on a regular basis that I own this mattress. That all sounds dramatic but it has made a huge difference. (A trick for shopping for soft mattresses is to go to a local mattress store and ask to see their most soft mattress. I was in a reclining wheelchair full-time and so my husband did this with stores by himself. And then he narrowed it down to a few and I made the trip to see "the winners". It wasn't any competition; this bed won easily and immediately.)
I have several of those bag sealers and they work perfectly. I was skeptical too but pleasantly surprised and how well it works. Also, classic Lay's, not baked.. 🤢
Allyson Phillip i could see it being used for stores, disabled people, or those who are lazy. Personally I worked retail for a few years and currently have to do lots of laundry at work so I’m fast and good at folding so this thing would slow me down but for people who can’t fully move their arms to fold a shirt this might be good
That rocket book seems pretty cool... I was waiting for you to test it out as a lefty. I wonder if it would smudge too much when writing with the left hand. ✍️
•Try the environmental straw with an icee. •The big red flashlight looks like an old school hot water bottle😂 •You should of tested the ink on the 16 minute mark to test if it's really smudge proof.
The higher quality the stainless steel is, the less magnetic it is. I can't even hang any magnets on the front of my fridge, only the side. No fridge photos for me. =(
Love the Rocket book for kids to take notes and save for later. The shirt folder has great uses for those like me with lots of t-shirts and sweat shirts to fold weekly.
"It's like when you'e a kid eating your cereal in the morning and you had the bendy straw". Dude, it must've been tough growing up in your house. My Mom would usually put a spoon on the table.
Stores have had the clothes folder for ages! When I worked at Target, we had those to use, but it took too long, so I always folded the clothes manually. Not quite as pretty, but way faster.
I'm surprised that you are reviewing the rocketbook. I have to say that it's amazing and I have been using one since last September. I'm very happy with it. The reviews recommend getting a second cloth for wiping it-- and I did end up getting that. Also, lately, I've been using a soft sponge on it to wipe it down (and using the cloth to dry it off) since I usually end up with a lot of pages that I need to scan and then wipe down at one time.
To be honest, the lights I use the most are those cheap $4 things you can get at Harbor Freight. www.harborfreight.com/ultra-bright-led-portable-worklightflashlight-64005.html?cid=paid_google|||64005&mkwid=s|pcrid|385445407385|pkw||pmt||pdv|c|slid||product|64005|&pgrid=78980064419&ptaid=pla-850218376724&pcid=6551308223&intent=&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIw6K2nY6p5wIVtR-tBh2iZgGIEAQYAyABEgLzR_D_BwE They come with batteries, but those are just cheap zinc-carbons. Upgrade to some decent alkaline types and these are actually kinda bad-ass.
I play world of warcraft and some quests are just too confusing and I was trying to screen shot but in Raids or such not fun, this would be useful too.
I actually use my Rocketbook for notes in the campaign I'm in and it's great! I've been using a Rocketbook for for almost 3 years now (only in the last year have I started using it for D&D) and I heavily recommend it. The Frixion pen that comes with it is the best type of Frixion pen and I purchase a pack from Amazon when I start to run low.
Oh, man, we used to use those flip folds back when worked at Steve & Barry's. Didn't last long, as it was just a little seasonal job, but, I love those things to bits!
but a fiddly bag sealer that requires you to have the sides nice and flat and even speed down the entire bag so the heat can fuse the sides correctly is going to be right up her alley.. that thing is going to go straight to the trash after a week.
I'm just now remembering that my mom did away with bags and boxes when we were growing up and we kept our cereal in a plastic canister on the counter. It was of course a set so it fit in alongside the flour, sugar, cornmeal, etc. Bless kids hearts but remembering to put things away and doing them *properly* is an uphill battle.
Shirt folder came in handy in framing shirts for our retail store. I'm with you, good enough of a fold for me. Shameless plug for the Golden Knights...all I can say is GO CAPS GO!
All I kept thinking was of the Big Bang Theory episode where Sheldon was using one of those folding boards to fold his shirts. LOL Great video, I am happy I found your channel and have a lot of videos to catch up on!!
The shirt folding board is great for people with disabilities who may only have one arm or not be able to use both arms in tandem.
speaking as a stroke survivor, yes it would, however my shirts are larger and not sure it would help fold mine any better
Robert Mcdonald they come in larger sizes to fit an array of tshirt sizes. You can also have someone make a custom one for you out if cardboard.

And you can also just do that technique by hand without a folder. It's pretty easy actually.
Board folding was a great way to not interact with customers
Seriously, I mastered this technique at Old Navy, no board needed!
Cool?
I did too and I still use one at home years later. 👍🏻
The shirt jigs are useful when you need to fold hundreds of shirts for retail or the like. The shirts are generally pressed from the print shop/factory so wrinkles rarely happen.

I don't know if it's the same for everyone else but if you want a reusable straw, you're probably not the kinda person who will be going into Starbucks and getting disposable cups. I tend to stay away from plastic drink cups.
I also take my own reusable cup to Starbucks.
I'm trying to do that but I tend to forget cups, but my straw is in a clip on case so I never forget it lol
Yep. Almost no one who wants to live Green will drive(!) to the next XYZ to get a disposebale Cup and get back. It's more for home usage or maybe when you go out, get a cocktail, and would get a disposable Straw in your reusable Glass or something.
And after all... if you didn't have a problem with disposable cups, you wouldn't give a single Shit about Straws anyways. The plastic lid is propably more Plastic anyway, plus the Cup itself out of Paper (or even more Plastic...)
Plus for Citizens of the EU, including myself, desposable plastic Straws will be forbidden in 2021. So either you won't get a straw at all or you can (propably) only get one reusable in the Bar or whatever that you need to give em Back.
Straw would be nice in places like the San Diego Zoo and other places that have banned straws and lids. If you're there with your little kids and they spill a lot when the drink is not covered, so they need a straw and for you to hold the cup. I don't blame the zoo, I blame all the lazy a$$ people that couldn't walk a few extra steps to a trash can to put the straws and lids into, so they don't end up in with the animals.
I actually carry a reusable straw, not because I'm necessarily trying to be green, but because none of my local restaurants offer straws anymore, and the cold bothers my teeth.
The rocket book is great however I did find a flaw, so here in Florida we can get very humid. After a long day of class and note taking in a AC building we all went outside for lunch and the temperature change and outdoor humidity caused all the notes to almost melt and some become unreadable. So now I make sure I capture the images via the app before I leave lolI think they have another version that you put in the microwave to heat up to remove the ink.
I believe that was the original version, I'm not sure if it's still available.
I'm in florida too, freaking humidity will kill anything!
Those pens are actually erasable with friction. That's why they have a rubber end. I didn't know water would work I have some write in the rain paper I used for scoring bicycle racing in the rain. I am going to give it a try.
The ink in the pens turns to a milky gray mess if it gets too hot. Such as leaving them in your vehicle on a hot day.
@@Dicyroller It's the heat causes by friction.
If you accidentally heat the page too much the writing will disappear.
There's one easy trick to revive it though: Just pop it in a freezer for an hour, and EVERYTHING ever written with frixxion pens will reappear.
I had the Eurosealer almost 25 years ago. I'm pretty sure It was free with another purchase. The OG chip bag sealer was much better than that one you got there.
4 real I STILL have mine🙋
Memories, my bf had a couple shirt folders, he loved to buy as seen on tv. He never used it, but he had it just in case! Lol... RIP MTR 💔
He had the bag sealer too 😁
I've seen those folding boards being used in stores by the clerks. Lay's Classic!
Great review on the FLEXIT 2.0! Really creative and fair. Bonus points to mentioning the Judas Priest wristbands, ha ha! FYI, we have updated the design! We now have an entirely new battery case, hook, and even stronger magnets!
Good job upgrading based on user feedback!
The reason it didn't stick so well on the fridge is the metal on a fridge door is very thin.
Yea, when it's floppy it doesn't really want to go in. How life-like.
😢
Can't do the one finger technique
darkholyPL damn!
😂
😂😂 i laughed harder at this than I should’ve
I have two adult sons, a son-in-law, a step-father, and three brothers I have a hard time finding Christmas gifts for. Unless you outdo yourself between now and when I start my Christmas shopping for 2020, they are all getting a Flex-it 2.0. Thanks!!
Lol
I only buy one gift for each of my grandchildren. Adults get checks. I got tired of giving and receiving useless gifts that we would designate to a box somewhere until we finally donated to a thrift shop. We buy too much crap! Christmas shouldn't be a buying spree. It has been so easy to enjoy the holidays now without the commercialism. Every year people feel they have to buy more and go deeper into debt. Time to make new rules for your family.
edit: I forgot to mention that 1. only have one grandchild born at this time (one on the way) but still send money for preparation. 2. the one grandchild already born gets a check in with the one for his parents.
I was thinking about picking one up for my dad, as he’s a long distance truck driver :)
@@marg4229 id hate to be your grandson or granddaughter.
@@marg4229 never said I feel bad lmaoooo
I’m glad I watched this video! My partner is very hard to shop for lol. The flexit flashlight would make a perfect gift! He works for UPS and I think the product would make his life a little easier. Wonder if the flashlight will stick to the inside of the truck walls? 🧐
Stop playing that straw. 😂🤣😂🤣
I'm always impressed at how real you are with the reviews - even when you didn't realize that clip came off on the bag sealer. Thanks for being authentic.
If I had to choose which product, it would be the sealer.
For the reusable straws you should review the metal telescopic straws.
@ZaC kWinz thanks. I've been curious.
We've switched at home to stainless but I was eyeing the telescopic for when I'm away from the house.
I got a telescoping straw last spring at an international tournament I worked at. It wasn’t expensive and the organization had the cases printed with their logo. I carry it in my purse and use it when I’m out to eat. Works just fine.
A friend bought the metal straw. Broke a tooth using it. His wife is disabled, unable to speak, and banged something for his attention....oops.
Leslie Fischer, I’m going to guess that your friend didn’t have the one that has a soft silicone tip. Ouch.
It’s best to hold the shirt upside down by the seams to help realign the shirt. It will help reduce wrinkles.
I was thinking that too.
Yeah, you have to properly align and shake out your clothing before folding, hanging, etc.
the issue I see with that chip bag resealer is that chips are packaged in Nitrogen Gas to help preserve them. Resealing the bag with oxygen won't keep them very long. They will still lose flavour and become stale, grant it perhaps 1 or 2 days longer than if you hadn't sealed the bag at all.
I have that exact cutter/sealer tool. I love it! My cutter works fine. You have to make sure you are using the slanted edge of the blade, or it doesn’t cut right. So you have to make sure you’re moving it in the right direction.
What do you use it for? Most of the food I buy in bags is a single serving for me. As in I eat the entire bag.
Box Legend, John's less musically-talented brother.
You have my sense of humor.
🤣🤣🤣
Ha. I have one of those and literally thought the exact same thing when I got mine. I don’t understand how they came up with the name and the logo on it is a crest with BL. Strange.
After watching this, I ordered the Rocketbook. My boss likes constant meetings and I never remember where my notes are.
Just take a picture of your notes after taking them. It's virtually the same thing.
@@jnrs9512 You don't get a reusable notebook. This is saving the trees
@@fightingfaerie Not just that, but you don't have to worry about having the right notebook for what you're doing. You can have a notepad at work and at home. Or one that lives on your desk and one that lives in your bag.
Personally, I wind up with tons of notebooks that wind up only being partially used, so this would clear a lot of clutter very quickly.
Chris L personally I think the biggest selling point is that you can search for something and it will find the notes where you had written about that thing. Rather than having to look through possibly hundreds of pictures of notes for the one you want, it will find it for you.
I would buy one too, but I'd like something a little sturdier, and maybe a form factor that fits the inside jacket pocket of my suit.
So many... "That's What She Said" moments!! Lol
I’m definitely getting that rocket book, that thing is really cool! I’m always grabbing for paper to doodle ideas down and this would be perfect!!! I love it!
LOL. I'm dying. That's how my husband "folds" shirts. First time I saw it I was like "Dude what are you doing!?!"
Okay, for better results folding shirts with the first gadget, grab the hem of the shirt at the two sides and shake it before you put it down. That should eliminate the bunched up front.
Grab it where? What's a two side?
@@tommytoms5445 Lay the shirt flat. Look at the hem of the shirt, this is the lowest edge. Notice the middle portion of the hemmed area, do not clasp this portion. Notice the shirt has side seams, take hold of the hem at these 2 side seams.
Use google translate in future.
One question has been in the back of my mind with every review video I’ve watched on your channel, where do you store all the items you’ve reviewed? You must have phenomenal storage!
The bone yard in his garage... just a bunch of old shelves.
Tru Neilson Ah, never underestimate the value of good shelving! 😁
He could just return them
Puts them in his nabors house
@@bigbomb5904 humm... and where are the neighbors and how long since they were last seen?
Am I the only person that rolls my t-shirts so they aren't wrinkled?
Nah, I do that to save space.
Life hack for suitcases on holidays
Roll all into that one roll. Socks and boxers too.
@@juangonzalez9848 Got carried away and added my condoms to the mix. Not recommended 😖
I'm super lazy and hang them up.
I use that shirt folder ALL the time. Its such a time saver
Really??? I'm tempted. I've seen those or something similar before on these kind of vids, in my OCD makes folding shirts an impossible way to win.
Saves time too? Idk, that's like, super life changing LOL I'm not good with change.
Joke (the only one that I can remember by the way):
Q) why did the lady walk outside with her purse open?
~your turn to answer~
🦗🦗🦗
A) she expected some change in the weather
🥴🍅🥁
I got the biggest laugh watching you seal the bags of chips. My dogs heard the sound and ACCOSTED ME!!!! Needless to say...I then had to go give them said chips!!!
the only time i have ever seen tees folded like 3:02 is when i was working retail.
That’s what I was go I g to say. Department and clothing stores have those on rolling carts for folding clothes on displays. As someone commented above, if you had a shoulder or arm injury and are operating in “handicapped” mode, it’s pretty helpful. Also might get your kids more inclined to properly fold their shirts.
the last time i was this early the products were two rocks banged together.
Lol
That sounds interesting, did they work? :)
I adore silicone straws! My favorites are the slightly wider straws than you've shown but I also have those exact straws and they work well.
Due to my health, I am in bed often. The "bendiness" helps me sip from a laying position and the silicone does not hurt my teeth (I sometimes have muscle spasms and metal against teeth is quite awful). They are easy to clean with any straw brush and don't mold easily.
If you often eat out, you can buy silicone straws with metal bottoms that will easily poke through disposable lids.
Buying silicone straws to use with disposable cups and lids 🤦🏼♂️
@@mjc0961 I don't eat out at all (health) and so I never use disposable containers. But I'm not going to judge someone that eats out as most fast food eateries (and most restaurants in general) won't allow you to bring in outside containers.
@zerotoeleven I freaking adore my bed so I'm happy to answer. I needed the most comfortable, soft bed to absorb my body and, after a dozens of mattress shops, I found the Serta iComfort Wellbeing Refined. I've made everyone who stays with us try it and they cannot believe how soft it is. It is like sleeping on the most pressure relieving cloud mixed with the gravity free feeling of a hammock. It isn't for everyone but I adore it. After almost 5 years of owning it, I'm still so thankful on a regular basis that I own this mattress. That all sounds dramatic but it has made a huge difference. (A trick for shopping for soft mattresses is to go to a local mattress store and ask to see their most soft mattress. I was in a reclining wheelchair full-time and so my husband did this with stores by himself. And then he narrowed it down to a few and I made the trip to see "the winners". It wasn't any competition; this bed won easily and immediately.)
14:32 I believe you have to cut it in the other direction... right to left.
I have several of those bag sealers and they work perfectly. I was skeptical too but pleasantly surprised and how well it works. Also, classic Lay's, not baked.. 🤢
I’d like that Flexit! Looks like a great item to have in the car or garage!
The time it takes to fiddle with a shirt u can just manually fold it
Allyson Phillip i could see it being used for stores, disabled people, or those who are lazy. Personally I worked retail for a few years and currently have to do lots of laundry at work so I’m fast and good at folding so this thing would slow me down but for people who can’t fully move their arms to fold a shirt this might be good
Probably most people BUT being old I've been trying to fold a shirt for 60 years with that board I just MIGHT be able to do a fair to middlin' job!!👍👍
Sarah D oh their a mainstay in clothing stores for sure
Better, make one out of tape and cardboard.
@@sarahd1250 maybe it would speed you up if you were used to doing it WITH the device???
the fridge steel has more Stainless Steel in it which is not magnetic enough. I'll take the rocket book
That rocket book seems pretty cool... I was waiting for you to test it out as a lefty. I wonder if it would smudge too much when writing with the left hand. ✍️
When I used to work retail I used them. They work well! Good job!
•Try the environmental straw with an icee.
•The big red flashlight looks like an old school hot water bottle😂
•You should of tested the ink on the 16 minute mark to test if it's really smudge proof.
When your plastic cup has more plastic then your straw would’ve had 🤦♂️
The higher quality the stainless steel is, the less magnetic it is. I can't even hang any magnets on the front of my fridge, only the side. No fridge photos for me. =(
Not necessarily, it's just dependant on iron content, and alignment of the domains
Suffering from success
Regarding that gadget for folding shirts, you could make something similar out of an old cardboard box.
Love the Rocket book for kids to take notes and save for later. The shirt folder has great uses for those like me with lots of t-shirts and sweat shirts to fold weekly.
"It's like when you'e a kid eating your cereal in the morning and you had the bendy straw". Dude, it must've been tough growing up in your house. My Mom would usually put a spoon on the table.
Lou Standards my life was rough, I had to get my own spoon.
lmao I thought the same thing
Woah, Harsh
Reusable straws may be worth it for disabled people who actually need straws if their preferred drinking-place goes for the Green option.
Paper straws suck (pardon the pun)
@ihatescreennames89 yes they do have them! I have a few, just look up "smoothie reusable straws" .
Straws are not going away. Only the shitty cities takeaways straws.
Stores have had the clothes folder for ages! When I worked at Target, we had those to use, but it took too long, so I always folded the clothes manually. Not quite as pretty, but way faster.
Same with H&M. It was just a single flat board though. We never used it
I needed one when I'd have to organize the art isle at Walmart when I worked there. I hated folding the damn shirts.
I'm surprised that you are reviewing the rocketbook. I have to say that it's amazing and I have been using one since last September. I'm very happy with it. The reviews recommend getting a second cloth for wiping it-- and I did end up getting that. Also, lately, I've been using a soft sponge on it to wipe it down (and using the cloth to dry it off) since I usually end up with a lot of pages that I need to scan and then wipe down at one time.
that shirt folder looks like it's begging to be hacked together with cardboard squares and tape
That Rocketbook would be amazing for artwork!!! I'm tempted, man.
That flashlight is really cool I would put it in my jeep so I could do repairs on the trails night and stuff like that
To be honest, the lights I use the most are those cheap $4 things you can get at Harbor Freight.

They come with batteries, but those are just cheap zinc-carbons. Upgrade to some decent alkaline types and these are actually kinda bad-ass.
I use mine all the time....most of the time as a BBQ light.
I doubt you opened three bags of chips and didn't have at least one. The magic of video editing. 👌🏽
It's floppy probably because of the ppl that have tripped while holding their cups and "deleted themselves accidentally"
The shirt folder would be good for packing luggage.
You forgot to try the reusable straws with milk shakes from BK and MacDonald. I have the stainless steel and I'm looking for the silicone ones.
As a Dungeons and Dragons player, who's looked at the RocketBook for note keep for games.. Seeing it in action makes me really want it now.
I play world of warcraft and some quests are just too confusing and I was trying to screen shot but in Raids or such not fun, this would be useful too.
I actually use my Rocketbook for notes in the campaign I'm in and it's great! I've been using a Rocketbook for for almost 3 years now (only in the last year have I started using it for D&D) and I heavily recommend it. The Frixion pen that comes with it is the best type of Frixion pen and I purchase a pack from Amazon when I start to run low.
I absolutely love my rocket book! I have assignments to upload online, easy! Also, I used to use a lot of paper
I'm even more old school and love taco flavored Doritios.
Oh, man, we used to use those flip folds back when worked at Steve & Barry's. Didn't last long, as it was just a little seasonal job, but, I love those things to bits!
Oh my God I am so happy when you seal up the chip bags it was so funny I haven't laughed that hard and so long thank you very much yippee
The sealer was just like the "as seen on tv" product from many years ago called the Eurosealer. I can definitely use the flexit light for emergencies.
Did anyone say "Nice hiss!" when James opened the notebook package?! LOL.
Lol aaah mre's
let's get this out onto a tray
Nice!
That bag sealer is perfect for my kid who can’t clip chips or cereal closed to save her life
but a fiddly bag sealer that requires you to have the sides nice and flat and even speed down the entire bag so the heat can fuse the sides correctly is going to be right up her alley.. that thing is going to go straight to the trash after a week.
I'm just now remembering that my mom did away with bags and boxes when we were growing up and we kept our cereal in a plastic canister on the counter. It was of course a set so it fit in alongside the flour, sugar, cornmeal, etc. Bless kids hearts but remembering to put things away and doing them *properly* is an uphill battle.
If your kid can't use a simple clip then there is no way she could use this device.
Just roll and rubber band.
Shirt folder came in handy in framing shirts for our retail store. I'm with you, good enough of a fold for me.
Shameless plug for the Golden Knights...all I can say is GO CAPS GO!
All I kept thinking was of the Big Bang Theory episode where Sheldon was using one of those folding boards to fold his shirts. LOL
Great video, I am happy I found your channel and have a lot of videos to catch up on!!
