I got those kizik shoes for my brother in law for Christmas. He’s had a brain tumor for about 15 years and his right side of his body is the most effected by the chemo and surgeries. These shoes are great for him because he can just pop them on and off without having to tie his shoes or ask my sister for help. They give him a sense of independence and I think that justifies the higher price in that instance 😊
I was thinking about getting a pair for my mom! She's elderly and has vertigo issues, so she needs a stable pair of shoes as to not trip. Thank you for your review!!
Chem teacher here: the shirt is most likely not made of a special fabric. It is coated in a substance that is hydrophobic. This means water cannot soak into the surface because it is coated in something like a protective "film". You usually have to get these kids of shirts (as well as wrinkle free dress shirts) dry cleaned for obvious reasons. Edit: also please don't drink out of it again, the stuff is body safe but not...inside of the body safe.
This is what I assumed, especially because I saw something like like it on Shark Tank. Although that may have been for the chemical that you could treat your own clothing with and not shirts themselves. I don't recall.
I actually tried the Nura headphones. They were clearly a very cheap pair of headphones so I cancelled the subscription after like a week. I sent them back but they got lost in the mail or something and Nura hunted me down. They took my family and everything I loved. They took my house, not even bought my house they just took it; I came home one day and it was gone. They took my dog, I didn’t even have a dog. They said they won’t stop until they get the headphones back. I am so so scared.
I think this is justice. Those who stray from the way of the blesseth Nura deserve nothing less of holy punishment raining down upon their mortal flesh.
Imagine you're wearing that shirt in a bar and a woman throws a drink at you and you just stand there unfazed, making intense eye contact as the liquid just runs straight off.
Not if she throws it on your face lol. Plus unless your pants are hydrophobic as well, it’ll also get on your pants. And shoes. You’d need an entire astronaut suit
@@laexdream neverwet is expensive and hard to buy but it does equal water proofing so if he used never wet then it could work…. Unless she spills it on his face lol
dear drew, as someone who works in digital media advertising, it is 100% bc you keep clicking in the ads. that being said, please keep clicking on the ads
Any idea why I keep getting get rich quick scams, funeral scams, scam products, noom, hello fresh? Like what am I doing to make Google think I am a 85 year old trying to lose weight wanting to give money to Greg Secker?
“ what am I doing to make Google think I am a 85 year old trying to lose weight wanting to give money to Greg Secker?” LMAO THAT’S GOING INTO THE QUOTE BOOK
For we must all appear before “the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.” (2 Corinthians 5:10) We will be judged for every deed we do whether is be good or bad. This isn’t something to worry about even if our bad deeds out weigh our good. Because none are good before God, all have sinned against Him and cursed His name, but He in His tender loving mercy hath given us His Son as our ransom. When Jesus was dying all of Gods wrath and judgement was poured out onto Him even though He was sinless. He was sacrificed and tortured on our behalf though we are sinful and carnal. Christ payed our sin debt with His perfect sinless blood so we may escape judgment and have everlasting life. But this great gift is only for those who accept it and accept Him ❤️
The Moon Pod hate is one of my favorite running gags on this channel and the best part is it's 100% genuine that he hates that thing and how disproportionally expensive it was
The earbuds thing is ridiculous. There’s a kinda frightening trend of everything becoming subscription-based, like phones that I have to lease from my carrier. I hate it so much
@Daxrcy But why would someone do that? You just wasted $10 on some earbuds that you can't keep. It doesn't matter if you cancel the subscription they still get $10 out of you. It would be more smart to just buy some earbuds you can actually keep.
Btw multiple car companies have started doing similar tactics. Companies like Tesla, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and even Toyota have tried to make certain features subscription-based and remotely deactivate the feature if you stop paying. They range from small stuff like auto-start on a key fob to bigger features like heated seats or even Autopilot in Tesla's case.
In my viewing experience it froze for like three seconds both before and after the ad like Susan Wojcicki was hacking the video in real-time to undermine Drew
The worst part is that since you have to give them a police report for them to accept that the earbuds were stolen, they could legally press charges against you if the earbuds were stolen and you just weren't able to provide a police report, and you're fully agreeing to that by accepting the TOS. Wow.
What's funny about the gift paper cutting tube is that it's literally at Walmart/Target. Saw them there for 5.99, bought one, and it was actually pretty helpful for cutting thick wrapping paper.
@@awaywithwords9650 It helped cut the line a bit cleaner/straighter. I have somewhat shakey hands, and while it's not life changing, it helped my wrapping paper stay nicer.
Highly recommend reporting the scams to the FTC. You definitely won't get your money back but the people making money off of it will be forced to find a different scam. Not a perfect solution but better than just reporting the maybe hacked Twitter account, idk

I just get an ad that I should beware of shingles with my increasing age. For two years I've had this shoved in my face and I'm in my twenties, so it's a bit insulting. Especially because the only other recurring ads I get are 1) about whooping cough and its dangers for the elderly and 2) about forgetfulnes when you get older.
My cousin has cerebral palsy. He wears those types of shoes because it is easier for him to slip on over his leg braces and don't require tying laces. My aunt has been having a harder time finding shoes that fit the older he gets. I'm glad that you gave them a good review. I have seen a lot of people talk down about them because people are just "too lazy to tie their shoes."
@@beangobernador I don’t know about the details of the shoe, but it looks like the heel is smoother or something so it can slide on your heel/socks. Some shoes I have do that, but it definitely stretches the heel out for me. I don’t know if those shoes do the same though.
Someone else mentioned in the comments that their brother in law got them this year for christmas and loves them. he's paralyzed on his right side. not a shill or anything for the company, honestly i'm looking at getting a pair just bc i'm lazy.

As someone who works in a high end restaurant who’s uniform is a button up dress shirt, thank you for that review. I’ve needed something stain resistant for a while ! Plus dress shirts for women are impossible to find
The price is high, but I could see the shoes being good for people with a limited mobility. It’s sad that a lot of these products get pushed off due to seeming “lazy”, but it’s nice to see that they actually seem like decent shoes.
It's the same with 'as seen on tv' stuff It's like "lmao this shit's so goofy"; but a lot of it was originally made for people with disabilities. For example, Snuggies were originally made for people in wheelchairs. It's just that they have to advertise it like something kooky and fun in order to sell it and make money off the general population :y
So true! Like pre-chopped veggies - game changers for people with poor dexterity, but able people just think it’s about being lazy. Unfortunately these things are priced higher than their counterparts, it’s like insult added to injury ☹️
a lot of disability aids are presented as ~just a silly helpful little item~ to avoid all the extra costs and taxes put on actual medical items. on the other hand this might mean they're not as regulated. fortunately most of the items i've seen don't seem actively harmful anyway

that shirt is actually really impressive, the fact that they made the shirt actually hydrophobic and didn't overprice it to the moon and back is amazing
That and also: a lot of medical devices like seizure detectors are slowly being put behind subscriptions and paywalls. Lifesaving medical devices are being put behind a paywall and if you can’t afford it you are shit out of luck. So it’s a risk in more ways than one
It's so weird, Nura is sold here at Hi-Fi stores. No strings attached. Idk why they'd bother with this shit. (I mean I do in terms of it paying off for them, but they're also ruining their reputation)
@@definitelynotashark1799 I haven't heard of em. I'm assuming they don't have enough of a reputation to ruin. Or so many other companies have bad reputations, that they assume it doesn't matter.
The hope that they forget their subscription could be a reason for why the company has such a long subscription for you to sign up for right out the gate. I've heard of companies/services operating on this model. Also, if these companies already have a card to charge, they can sneakily up the charge whenever they feel like without notifying you as shown by what some telecomm companies already do
My disability makes bending down to tie my shoes pretty difficult, so I can see why those slip on ones could be pretty useful. It does bother me that the price is pretty high though, because it makes them a lot less accessible
There are similar products around. I bought shoes that do the same thing from just a regular store for 30 bucks. They've lasted me for a year already without any signs of damage.
U can get these rubber elastic things that replace laces on shoes. They use them in triathlons to put on running shows faster and might help you but I’ve never used them.
There's a few devices to get socks on easier without bending. As for shoes, you could buy shoes that have a little loop on the back heel, then using something long with a hook you can pull back on that while putting on the shoe. You could also get a long shoehorn. My father had one and I still use it. Having hurt my back several times I know how difficult that can be for a person. Hope this helps. ❤️
The shirt is coated with hydrophobic coating. You can basically do this with any of your shirts with some hydrophobic spray which is often used to make boots waterproof because that's actually something that makes sense to have waterproof. The coating eventually comes off after a while.
Plus the shoes do the same thing that literally any pair of shoes can do, I haven’t tied my shoes in months because I just slip them on and off and they’re just random shoes from Walmart that cost a lot less than his special shoes lol
My dad swears by those shoes. Having a bad back these have been his go to pair since he got them. Insignificant for young and healthy, game changer for older folks.
@@dajnova1148 they're just good for disabled people with shoe difficulties in general. I know plenty of old people who are more able than young people I know. Drew using these shoes is evident of products for disabled people being shown in mainstream advertising. Happens all the time.
I love how the Bean Bed website claims to have trademarked the word "Bean". Heinz and probably every other brand selling actual fucking beans has something to say about that.
Paying 5 dollars forever for a pair of headphones is INSANE. I feel like monthly payments or subscriptions are usually for products or services that continuously give you new content like Hulu or Amazon prime or an Xbox subscription. Why subscribe for one single product and that's it? That's so bizarre and your reaction was spot on lol I hope that doesn't catch on and more companies don't use that idea because that's actually so unfair on so many levels.
I just read an article saying that car manufacturers want to start experimenting with "subscribable" features in new cars. Like if you want your phone to use bluetooth to pair with the car when you get in it? $5.00/mo. Want a lane sensor? $20.00/mo. I'm imagining them asking you to subscribe to features like air conditioning and heat. Apparently now with everything in cars becoming so computerized it's really easy for them to add or subtract features just through software updates. They've finally figured out how to continue getting your money if you are the type of person who buys a car outright and keeps it forever (like me).
I did the Nura subscription last year - I wanted a pair of earbuds for running, and on the surface these seemed to fit the bill. They had a sound-thru mode that let the world in and wrapped around your ears for a sturdy fit. Sadly, they sucked. There were a bunch of annoying problems but mainly, the sound wasn't that impressive, it just sort of sounded like scooped mids and pumped bass, kinda like the stereotypical Beats profile. The sound-thru mode while running just resulted in constant wind rush and pop noise. So I went to return them (as Drew said, at my own expense) and wound up being out like, $30 rather than a couple hundred for a product I didn't like.
@@incidentshappen I guess that that could be one plus. I bought a pair of Sony earbuds a year or two ago and they absolutely suck (they sound worse than my $10 JBL wired buds) but they were $150 and I'm basically stuck with them until they die.
Okay, unironically, you're the first person I've ever seen who isn't currently in the midwest who's thought to donate to help with the disaster relief effort here, and for that I love you much
I saw a RUclipsr from the UK do the same (every year he donates the ad revenue from the first 24 hours on his Christmas video to a charity). I am also from Europe and I thought it was very thoughtful of him to choose that cause.
“Not everything is an…” *RUclips midroll advertisement* “… an ad.” Drew is the only RUclipsr I watch that consistently gets the midroll placement joke to actually work. Half the time they get the timing completely wrong.
@@tragicboi depends though. If you already watched one of the midrolls and then scroll around, RUclips will sometimes change the placement of manually placed midrolls based on watch time. It’s a confusing system, probably why so few people get the timing to work

@@dolly5791 bruh this vid has 924k views as of writing, and he got scammed for 70 dollars. If he has a CPM of 0,45 cents per 1000 views, he made 415 dollars in this video ( more or less because not everyone gets ads). Plus big RUclipsrs like Drew usually have higher CPMs than that. PLUS he got a sponsor for the video. So I’m sure he is fine with getting scammed. If he wasn’t, he wouldn’t have tried buying a useless 70 dollar product in the first place.
Alot of these products are for disabled people, they're actually really helpful -I have a connective tissue disorder and ues tape like that -the "sleep pod" is just a sensory sack, they're for people with autism -the shirt is very useful for many people; mobility issues, strength issues, shaky hands, old age ect. - shoes also for alot of people; troubles bending down, troubles tieing, old age ect. - the paper cutter is great for grip issues, shaky hands, old age ect.
True but the products on Instagram ads are quite commonly overpriced or like knock offs lol, not with disabled people's wellbeing in mind at all tbh :( but the shoes seem really cool
As someone who also got scammed by a shop made in shopify, the company needs to do a better job of preventing this, once they're taken down the scammer just makes a new one with a new name. I'll be smarter next time but believe me I was pretty careful it was just very convincing.
I bought a posable figure (the ones artists use as reference to draw) and it was supposed to be super high quality and with a ton of accessories and when I got it I couldn't even be mad. It was so shit like it was dollar store level plastic, I made sure to keep it to myself lol
@@m1gu3l_r Scam sites take images from other sources and use them on their shops, best way to know if they are stealing images is to reverse image search their pics.
Yall know if yall get scammed u can dispute charges with your bank and say "yeah i aint never get no product bc the shit aint real and they scammin ass bitch" and u'll get ur money back....right?
i assume that drew did this but psa, if you ever buy something that never shows up and the company doesn't refund/replace, call your bank. they'll have you fill out some info about the transaction and you'll likely be refunded in a couple days (tho it can take around a week or two; they'll give you an estimate)
yup happened to my sister from WIsh ordered a shirt that never showed up and they insisted it was delivered so we had to call the credit card and they gave us our money back
Do you have this kind of scam when they call you pretending to be a bank worker and ask for your card info to buy things or transfer money? Does your advice also work in this case? Because it doesn’t in my country, so I was wondering.
drew said it could only be paid for with real money (peep that google pay payment option), he can’t call his bank for help if the transaction wasn’t made through the bank. This is how scammers make sure you can’t get a refund, it’s the same method telemarketing scammers use to rob old confused people of their life’s savings, a lot of them make them buy gift cards, others have them send the money in cash hidden between a book’s pages, etc. It’s very VERY difficult to get your money back in these situations.
@@ariariaris The scams you're talking about are real, but that's not how Google Pay works. It's just Google facilitating your use of actual payment options (like a credit card or your bank's debit card) without you needing to remember those payment details, so he definitely could have gone to his bank/credit card provider to get his money back from the scam.
@@quasimofo6811 have you ever had to try to get a refund for a purchase made with either google pay or paypal from smaller and/or international retailers when an order is missing, even if it’s technically not a scam? it’s a fucking pain. If you’re not dealing with bigger retailers like amazon it can take weeks of back and forth emails and you still might not get anything. I didn’t say it was impossible, just very difficult.
There's this classification on Facebook ads called "engaged buyers". These are people with a tendency to click on ads and shop from them, and a lot of companies direct their ads to those people (since they have a higher chance of actually purchasing). You're definitely in that category.
One thing I find interesting about products like those scissors is that although they're marketed as an easier alternative to things, they're usually meant for disabled people. Someone with two hands has no use for a weird scissor tube thing, but if you only have one hand, or none, it's 10 times easier than a normal scissors.
Yeah it sucks that they don't just... Market them to disabled people lol. Like instead they make those stupid infomercials where an abled person just dramatically does something wrong. Just?? Maybe market to disabled people? And cast disabled people for your ads? Disabled actors are already so much less likely to get roles and they can't even get them for products that are made for them. Also, the kiziks are awesome, but I wish they were more affordable, because a lot of people, especially disabled people who aren't able to work, don't have 100 bucks to spend on shoes. I hope in the future they can be more affordable!
I think actually the paper cutter is supposed to be very helpful to everyone, but yeah things like the shaky spoon are for disabilities and it would be nice if we could produce them without pretense
@@Crabby-Abby I totally agree! The way they market these things drives me crazy. And it leads to people making fun of products because the infomercials make it look so ridiculous, when in reality the products are legitimately helpful.
@@Crabby-Abby this is actually a form of advertising that's supposed to make it overall a cheaper device so it's more accessible to disabled people (by more people buying them)(but I agree on casting disabled people, also some disabilities are invisible so they could already be casted without anyone knowing, there's just nuance to all of it)
Why is no one talking about how his video went? He went through the 4 stages of getting scammed. Buy, Cry, Try, and Bye. Drew I hope you will get through this!
The shirt is covered in a hydrophobic spray (think how fat and oil floats on liquid) which repels all liquid. Generally, with hydrophobic garments, you can clean them with a cloth. Kind of like how waterproof or leather shoes are never really dirty or stained, they just have dirt sat on the surface
Pretty sure whatever material the fabric is made out of is what's hydrophobic, not some application later in the process. The type of hydrophobic coating you're thinking of often deteriorates pretty quickly upon physical contact, making it temporary.
I actually, and I actually mean actually, almost died when he opened the hair products box. I laughed so hard that I couldn't breathe. I couldn't force myself to take a breathe. Literally little spots were showing up in my vision.
On 2 separate occasions, Amazon (or more accurately, UPS) has completely swapped entirely unrelated products. My family ordered a mattress and got a cheap piano keyboard instead. Safe to say that was returned and the correct item was sent after, but it's not like those are even similar sizes, let alone similar products. At least the box size matched up enough for the comedic reveal.
the hug sleep pod thing reminds me of staying the night at someone else's place and they forgot to give you a blanket so you end up using a pillowcase as a source of warmth
Umm... I think you are not the target audience. I would think, with my expierience with my autistic daughter, it would be helpful for SPD-Sensory Processing Disorder. I would try it out before shelling $80. The same thing is with weighted blankets, which my daughter will sometimes use. It isn't made for the general population.
@@ramihearts I wouldn't know, jeff bezos, because I don't own the toilet myself, but I imagine much like a normal egg you're expected to crack it open when you need to use it and try not to cut yourself on the broken porcelain
My family works in nursing homes, and the slip on shoes actually would have a great purpose. The majority of slip-on shoes you can find at Walmart would be too loose for residents and could fall off feet. If they fell off that resident or another person could trip on them, which can cause broken bones that will never heal properly, especially if unnoticed. When my sister was buying shoes for a resident, out of the entirety of Walmart, she had about 3 options, and one was out of stock. The bad thing about the shoes Drew bought is the price point is too high for most residents, especially when the resident/family is paying, a healthcare worker is out of pocket.
Lot's of "lifehack" products people make fun off online are actually accessibly tools that are marketed to a broader audience. I think it's usually done so the price will be lower (and also so people who don't consider themselves disabled will be able to use it), but the downside is that people make fun of it because "who would use something like that when you can just easily do it without?!?" Examples might be all kinds of dedicated cutters (bagel, grapes, etcetera), a straw holder, a snuggie and an automatic tin opener. All tools that, as far as I know, were originally intended to help disabled people.
@TheKitKatLizard as someone else said babies can choke on grapes and there are disabilities that cause issues with swallowing that might make it necessary to cut even grapes into smaller pieces so that the person doesnt choke on them.
Just popping in to say thank you for trying the Kizik shoes for this video, because of your enthusiastic approval I asked for them for Christmas this year and they are legit my fave 2023 Xmas present. They make taking my dog out super quick, easy, and comfortable. XD
the stain proof shirt is made of hydrophobic material. basically it just hates water, and liquid contains water so it doesn't get stained by liquids. there are actually some really cool videos on youtube about hydrophobic technology
I'm curious to know how well the fabric breaths. I assume it won't soak up sweat (good for pit stains, bad for not being a soaked sweaty mess underneath)
@SillySanta well that’s a bit mean I normally don’t call people stupid so that why I thought it came off as mean but I don’t know could just me who see that.
I bought a sticker from an Instagram ad that makes my credit card look like a Charmander Pokemon card. Came from Australia. I've received several compliments. I feel like I've done exceptionally well with my Instagram ad purchases.
My dad is obsessed with the kizik shoes. He has limited mobility due to a stroke (left part of the body is not completely able). I'm sure there's other cheaper brands out there but they were able to target and trap my dad into buying them lol.
Well, at least they have a use and he's not totally scammed, right? If I ever become a millionaire I'll make sure to make shoes for ur dad that are more affordable ❤️ Take care.
Those shoes are probably made more for disabled people who struggle to put on regular shoes or struggle to tie shoes so it sucks that they're over priced but it's awesome that they exist!
I'm glad they exist, my mum has been wearing sketchers with the back folded in for years after her chemo, but pricing for "specialised" products like that is always crazy :-(
@@pluutonius you could always buy a shoe horn! If you’re not worried about lacing, that is. They’re so much easier to use, and you can get the really long ones so you don’t have to bend down.
@pluuto I’ve seen stretchy laces that you can buy for like $10 and put in any shoes that are supposed to make putting on shoes easier. Not sure if it fully solves the problem though cause of the back of the shoe, but it may be worth a try?
For anyone who is in this predicament- I've been scammed before lol never received products, super shady. Report/dispute the purchase to your bank or credit card company asap (within 3 mo of purchase) and usually they will cover you!!!
I paused the video to read the earbud reviews and one guy has apparently been paying £14.99 a month for like 3 years because he lost the order email to prove his purchase. Surely your bank can cancel that recurring payment
@@mollymcdade4031 oh my God that's crazy!!! These companies out here doing the most. But you're right, they should be able to investigate and get the money back if it's reported quick enough. It's worth a shot!!!
@@raed8905 oh really? I'm with fifth third & luckily they did, probably varies bank to bank. To be safe, if they don't allow credit cards and only take debit, may be a red flag
psa to anyone who may accidentally order something that turns out to be a scam: CALL YOUR BANK! contest the charges, they’ll likely refund you at the expense of the person/company you ordered from.
The buds themselves don't sound half bad, but the pricing scheme is wild to me. To me, it seems that the product isn't the buds themselves, but the renting service. It seems like they're relying on people not wanting to go through the hassle of returning them (I presume) by mail and being stuck with the subscription service.
From what I recall I think this company originally had like super expensive over the ear (with little buds in them that also go in your ear????) headphones as the product and were laughed off in their owns comments not a single positive reception. From what I can tell you're really paying for the software side of things.
@@PeterWhittam well renting a house is at an exponentially lower percentage of what it’s worth in one payment than these headphones. a house being maybe 200k you pay somewhere between 500-1500 a month. so you’d have to live there for like a hundred years to pay off the value of the house through renting.
I actually really like the shoes because it could be useful to someone who has trouble bending over to put their shoes on/tie the laces, so it isn't insignificant at all! If it's as comfy and easy to put on as you told us, then someone old/disabled can actually use it with no problem at all and I love that
@@awaywithwords9650 Yes Im aware, I meant it in terms of Drew’s comment saying it’s an insignificant detail. Because easy slip on shoes aren’t insignificant for those who do need it ☺️
@@awaywithwords9650 you can but they get loose and they have to be slightly loose to slip them on. So actually doesn't work unless you invest in elastic laces
every time i watch this video i look up what a brown recluse looks like and ever time i forget that i had already done that previously until i find myself looking at a screen of horrible horrible spiders. im commenting this only as a reminder to myself. DONT LOOK UP THE SPIDERS. YOU HAVE SEEN THEM.
This feels like those Silence creatures from Doctor Who, but instead of it being aliens, you just immediately forget what brown recluses are the moment you look away.
I like the way that the blanket that hugs you back is literally just a weighted blanket with extra steps, but instead of the idea of gravity gently constricting you to help with anxiety, restlessness and other sleep deterrents, it instead uses elastic to constrict you into a ball and wake up feeling worse. Just buy a weighted blanket if you want something that acts in a similar way to the hug blanket, it’s far more comfortable and worth it :).
To be fair I own both a weighted blanket and the sleep pod and the way to blanket is too hot in the summer and so the sweet pod is what I use when it's hot. And I actually really love it 🙈

I actually tried the Nura headphones. They were clearly a very cheap pair of headphones so I cancelled the subscription after like a week. I sent them back but they got lost in the mail or something and Nura hunted me down. They took my family and everything I loved. They took my house, not even bought my house they just took it; I came home one day and it was gone. They took my dog, I didn’t even have a dog. They said they won’t stop until they get the headphones back. I am so so scared.
I think this is justice. Those who stray from the way of the blesseth Nura deserve nothing less of holy punishment raining down upon their mortal flesh.

For we must all appear before “the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.” (2 Corinthians 5:10)
We will be judged for every deed we do whether is be good or bad. This isn’t something to worry about even if our bad deeds out weigh our good. Because none are good before God, all have sinned against Him and cursed His name, but He in His tender loving mercy hath given us His Son as our ransom. When Jesus was dying all of Gods wrath and judgement was poured out onto Him even though He was sinless. He was sacrificed and tortured on our behalf though we are sinful and carnal. Christ payed our sin debt with His perfect sinless blood so we may escape judgment and have everlasting life. But this great gift is only for those who accept it and accept Him ❤️

The earbuds thing is ridiculous. There’s a kinda frightening trend of everything becoming subscription-based, like phones that I have to lease from my carrier. I hate it so much
Yep, because they know that paying less over a long period is still more enticing than a one-and-done fee. Then you get roped in; it’s so dystopian.
@Daxrcy Did you watch the video? The earbud company will deactivate them when you stop paying and “may pursue legal action” 😂
@Daxrcy But why would someone do that? You just wasted $10 on some earbuds that you can't keep. It doesn't matter if you cancel the subscription they still get $10 out of you. It would be more smart to just buy some earbuds you can actually keep.
Btw multiple car companies have started doing similar tactics. Companies like Tesla, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and even Toyota have tried to make certain features subscription-based and remotely deactivate the feature if you stop paying. They range from small stuff like auto-start on a key fob to bigger features like heated seats or even Autopilot in Tesla's case.

They had a sound-thru mode that let the world in and wrapped around your ears for a sturdy fit. Sadly, they sucked. There were a bunch of annoying problems but mainly, the sound wasn't that impressive, it just sort of sounded like scooped mids and pumped bass, kinda like the stereotypical Beats profile.

This is how scammers make sure you can’t get a refund, it’s the same method telemarketing scammers use to rob old confused people of their life’s savings, a lot of them make them buy gift cards, others have them send the money in cash hidden between a book’s pages, etc. It’s very VERY difficult to get your money back in these situations.
@@ariariaris The scams you're talking about are real, but that's not how Google Pay works. It's just Google facilitating your use of actual payment options (like a credit card or your bank's debit card) without you needing to remember those payment details, so he definitely could have gone to his bank/credit card provider to get his money back from the scam.
@@quasimofo6811 have you ever had to try to get a refund for a purchase made with either google pay or paypal from smaller and/or international retailers when an order is missing, even if it’s technically not a scam? it’s a fucking pain. If you’re not dealing with bigger retailers like amazon it can take weeks of back and forth emails and you still might not get anything. I didn’t say it was impossible, just very difficult.
There's this classification on Facebook ads called "engaged buyers". These are people with a tendency to click on ads and shop from them, and a lot of companies direct their ads to those people (since they have a higher chance of actually purchasing). You're definitely in that category.
People actually do rent TVs, and couches, and fridges, and microwaves. Its actually an insane business, we need to stop the subsciption addiction
One thing I find interesting about products like those scissors is that although they're marketed as an easier alternative to things, they're usually meant for disabled people. Someone with two hands has no use for a weird scissor tube thing, but if you only have one hand, or none, it's 10 times easier than a normal scissors.
Exactly! And same with those sneakers.
Yeah it sucks that they don't just... Market them to disabled people lol. Like instead they make those stupid infomercials where an abled person just dramatically does something wrong. Just?? Maybe market to disabled people? And cast disabled people for your ads? Disabled actors are already so much less likely to get roles and they can't even get them for products that are made for them.
Also, the kiziks are awesome, but I wish they were more affordable, because a lot of people, especially disabled people who aren't able to work, don't have 100 bucks to spend on shoes. I hope in the future they can be more affordable!
I think actually the paper cutter is supposed to be very helpful to everyone, but yeah things like the shaky spoon are for disabilities and it would be nice if we could produce them without pretense
@@Crabby-Abby I totally agree! The way they market these things drives me crazy. And it leads to people making fun of products because the infomercials make it look so ridiculous, when in reality the products are legitimately helpful.
@@Crabby-Abby this is actually a form of advertising that's supposed to make it overall a cheaper device so it's more accessible to disabled people (by more people buying them)(but I agree on casting disabled people, also some disabilities are invisible so they could already be casted without anyone knowing, there's just nuance to all of it)

The shirt is covered in a hydrophobic spray (think how fat and oil floats on liquid) which repels all liquid. Generally, with hydrophobic garments, you can clean them with a cloth. Kind of like how waterproof or leather shoes are never really dirty or stained, they just have dirt sat on the surface

Pretty sure whatever material the fabric is made out of is what's hydrophobic, not some application later in the process. The type of hydrophobic coating you're thinking of often deteriorates pretty quickly upon physical contact, making it temporary.
I actually, and I actually mean actually, almost died when he opened the hair products box. I laughed so hard that I couldn't breathe. I couldn't force myself to take a breathe. Literally little spots were showing up in my vision.
Also, since it was probably some mix up at a factory or something like that, imagine the confusion for whoever got the two things of cbd tape.
On 2 separate occasions, Amazon (or more accurately, UPS) has completely swapped entirely unrelated products. My family ordered a mattress and got a cheap piano keyboard instead. Safe to say that was returned and the correct item was sent after, but it's not like those are even similar sizes, let alone similar products. At least the box size matched up enough for the comedic reveal.

Umm... I think you are not the target audience. I would think, with my expierience with my autistic daughter, it would be helpful for SPD-Sensory Processing Disorder. I would try it out before shelling $80. The same thing is with weighted blankets, which my daughter will sometimes use. It isn't made for the general population.

He knows that it’s going to happen though, he’s going in fully skeptical, so it’s not as bad.
They are literally ear buds for people who are into financial domination. There's no other explanation.
Yeah, I thought oh, that's great, they must replace them when they get broken. But no, you have to pay for replacements. Terrible.
So technically that makes them BDSM accessories? They should have gone for that marketing angle.

My family works in nursing homes, and the slip on shoes actually would have a great purpose. The majority of slip-on shoes you can find at Walmart would be too loose for residents and could fall off feet. If they fell off that resident or another person could trip on them, which can cause broken bones that will never heal properly, especially if unnoticed. When my sister was buying shoes for a resident, out of the entirety of Walmart, she had about 3 options, and one was out of stock. The bad thing about the shoes Drew bought is the price point is too high for most residents, especially when the resident/family is paying, a healthcare worker is out of pocket.
I was thinking something similar it’d be great for people with disabilities
Idk why they never include people like that in the ads
I bought a pair of Skechers from TJ Maxx. I never tie them. I just loosely tied them and I slip them on ever day
Lot's of "lifehack" products people make fun off online are actually accessibly tools that are marketed to a broader audience. I think it's usually done so the price will be lower (and also so people who don't consider themselves disabled will be able to use it), but the downside is that people make fun of it because "who would use something like that when you can just easily do it without?!?"
Examples might be all kinds of dedicated cutters (bagel, grapes, etcetera), a straw holder, a snuggie and an automatic tin opener. All tools that, as far as I know, were originally intended to help disabled people.
@TheKitKatLizard babies choke on grapes
@TheKitKatLizard as someone else said babies can choke on grapes and there are disabilities that cause issues with swallowing that might make it necessary to cut even grapes into smaller pieces so that the person doesnt choke on them.

My dad is obsessed with the kizik shoes. He has limited mobility due to a stroke (left part of the body is not completely able). I'm sure there's other cheaper brands out there but they were able to target and trap my dad into buying them lol.

Those shoes are probably made more for disabled people who struggle to put on regular shoes or struggle to tie shoes so it sucks that they're over priced but it's awesome that they exist!
I'm glad they exist, my mum has been wearing sketchers with the back folded in for years after her chemo, but pricing for "specialised" products like that is always crazy :-(
@@pluutonius I hope your mom is doing okay, sending you and your family love
and honestly, they’re not even so crazy expensive, probably on the high end for an average pair of shoes
@@pluutonius you could always buy a shoe horn! If you’re not worried about lacing, that is. They’re so much easier to use, and you can get the really long ones so you don’t have to bend down.
@pluuto I’ve seen stretchy laces that you can buy for like $10 and put in any shoes that are supposed to make putting on shoes easier. Not sure if it fully solves the problem though cause of the back of the shoe, but it may be worth a try?

For anyone who is in this predicament- I've been scammed before lol never received products, super shady. Report/dispute the purchase to your bank or credit card company asap (within 3 mo of purchase) and usually they will cover you!!!
Great idea! That worked for me last time that happened too
I paused the video to read the earbud reviews and one guy has apparently been paying £14.99 a month for like 3 years because he lost the order email to prove his purchase. Surely your bank can cancel that recurring payment
@@mollymcdade4031 oh my God that's crazy!!! These companies out here doing the most. But you're right, they should be able to investigate and get the money back if it's reported quick enough. It's worth a shot!!!
Credit cards will, but banks generally won’t unfortunately. My mom is prone to stupid purchases
@@raed8905 oh really? I'm with fifth third & luckily they did, probably varies bank to bank. To be safe, if they don't allow credit cards and only take debit, may be a red flag
psa to anyone who may accidentally order something that turns out to be a scam: CALL YOUR BANK! contest the charges, they’ll likely refund you at the expense of the person/company you ordered from.
I wonder if you bought a fire escape, if it would be delivered already built, or they leave you to constructed it yourself.
I have to imagine it comes in parts, i dont think fedex carries 2 story boxes
or it might actually be a toy model XD
It comes in one piece and is delivered by helicopter
They include a fire, but you gotta pay $5 per month for it.
The expert timing of that ad right after you said "not everything has to be an ad". Classic
The nura buds thing was astounding. I need to meet the person who actually thought these would be a great purchase.
The buds themselves don't sound half bad, but the pricing scheme is wild to me. To me, it seems that the product isn't the buds themselves, but the renting service. It seems like they're relying on people not wanting to go through the hassle of returning them (I presume) by mail and being stuck with the subscription service.
From what I recall I think this company originally had like super expensive over the ear (with little buds in them that also go in your ear????) headphones as the product and were laughed off in their owns comments not a single positive reception. From what I can tell you're really paying for the software side of things.
Holy shit those earbuds actually scare me
Subscriptions for physical things are actually quite terrifying
Black mirror shit
Welcome to renting a house.
@@PeterWhittam well renting a house is at an exponentially lower percentage of what it’s worth in one payment than these headphones. a house being maybe 200k you pay somewhere between 500-1500 a month. so you’d have to live there for like a hundred years to pay off the value of the house through renting.
You will own nothing, and you will be happy damnit

just now watching this video and had to check the comments to be sure other people caught this 😂
I actually really like the shoes because it could be useful to someone who has trouble bending over to put their shoes on/tie the laces, so it isn't insignificant at all! If it's as comfy and easy to put on as you told us, then someone old/disabled can actually use it with no problem at all and I love that
I think there's an option without faux-laces
You can pre-tie and slip on regular shoes hands free.
@@awaywithwords9650 Yes Im aware, I meant it in terms of Drew’s comment saying it’s an insignificant detail. Because easy slip on shoes aren’t insignificant for those who do need it ☺️

I like the way that the blanket that hugs you back is literally just a weighted blanket with extra steps, but instead of the idea of gravity gently constricting you to help with anxiety, restlessness and other sleep deterrents, it instead uses elastic to constrict you into a ball and wake up feeling worse. Just buy a weighted blanket if you want something that acts in a similar way to the hug blanket, it’s far more comfortable and worth it :).
To be fair I own both a weighted blanket and the sleep pod and the way to blanket is too hot in the summer and so the sweet pod is what I use when it's hot. And I actually really love it 🙈
