      Dude I really think you should do a little more research on the stuff that you review like the the Snack & drink cup at least 80% of people out there know that the lil permanent ring at the end of the straw isn't a stop for the rubber tube that slips on to the staw! It's meant to go down into the bottom of the cup so the straw won't accidentally pull out and make a mess and or possibly lose it. In short it is a "straw stop". I to live here in Sin city and have watched many of your reviews and I have noticed that you are wrong or just don't know what some things are for, that can't be that hard to know what you are reviewing. Just do some research on the products first then tell us about it that way people won't be mislead on whatever you're reviewing just saying. Now that's all I have to say about that. ✌🏻😎

    I'm on the fence about the paper towel holder. There is always a bottle of spray cleaner on my counter right next to the paper towel holder, for the obvious reason, so having that integrated would make things so much nicer looking. But I did notice how you had to pull it out from under the cabinet to get the spray bottle out, and that's inconvenient, plus the price point IMO is about double what it should be. Still, I like the aesthetic.

    Just as a PSA:
    While AAA batteries are 1.5 volt cells like AA batteries, they have much less capacity (mah) than a AA does.
    If you use the conversion sleeves do not expect equivalent battery life. If you use them in a AA device that eats batteries, expect it to eat them much faster.

    I have basically that same phone holder wrist band and I use it religiously for when I go on my runs. I love it, and I use it with my wired headphones. It's perfect for when you're exercising. It's not meant to be an everywhere every day use object. It has a specific purpose, and I find it works excellently for that purpose.

    Those AAA to AA converters are popular in the gaming mouse community. They like to use lithium AAA batteries in that adapter for a light AA power source.
    You can save quite a few grams doing this! And mice don't have really high power consumption.

      Heat rises, cold sinks, and there's enough of an air gap in between that I doubt the food would get cold any faster than it would just on its own. There are also plenty of other things you could put there that wouldn't matter so much, like nuts, pretzels, potato chips, etc.

    I have the paper towel dispenser. Minus the pump spray. Bought it at Costco about 5 years ago for about $30. The compression arm hasn't been present for a few years now and the base started to rust.
    If it had been built to a higher quality I could definitely recommend it.

    I've had a couple of phone holders very similar to the phone wristband, though I've never used them on my wrist. I put the phone on my upper arm while I'm running. The thing I really like about this style of phone holder is that it works with any phone, with or without a case. Even if you have two different phones, you can just use the same holder. It also doesn't cover the screen so there aren't any issues using the phone while it's in the holder. I'm on my second one now after using the first one for over 4 years before it finally broke. I agree that it feels like you're about to tear apart the rubber, but it holds up a lot better than you think it will. There are several Amazon listings for the same type of product and I can't guarantee that they're all the same quality, but they do seem to be basically identical.

    The wrist phone holders is extremely common amongst streamers because they have chat on it at all times while streaming IRL. Rave girls who wear no clothing also use it to carry their phone I've seen. Makes it hard to lose your phone or get it stolen.

  • @SquishySenpai

    Just a guess, but I think the flexible part of the straw goes in the cup and where the two parts meet, that will squeeze into the hole and block it.

    I have those AAA adapters and my biggest problem is that they are not quite the right shape so depending upon what you're using them in they won't fit.
    I still think they're worth acquiring because in the cases where you can use them it's nice to have them if you need them. Just remember AAA batteries have less energy so they will die quicker.
    Like I would only ever use them for example in an Xbox One controller where the batteries are just sitting there pretty much but I wouldn't stick them inside the holder of an Xbox 360 controller.
    Also every once in a while the pointy bit is too long on the end at least of the ones I have.

    I've had ideas for wrist/arm-mounting a phone for like a decade now, and I wonder if it would work a bit better having the phone on the inside of your arm instead of the outside. That's always been my mental vision of it. It would be a lot easier to answer a phone call that way as well if you needed too. Then again if you have headphones or bluetooth earbuds with a mic I guess you don't really need to hold it to your head anyway. You also wouldn't need to reach over and rotate it as often since it's easier to just do that with your arm if it's on the inside compared to the outside.

    • @Gotnoscents

    I think the wrist strap for your phone is unnecessary when you're walking and don't have your hands full.
    On a bike, it seems really helpful. And because your hands are full, you don't have much choice but to put it away. Also, the weight doesn't matter because your hands are on the handlebars.

    The ridge on the straw in the drink/snack cup should be on the bottom (in the drink, not sticking out of the top). The idea is to keep the straw from being pulled out. Slide the silicone part of the straw down to to seal the gap, that way no crumbs will end up in the drink.

    initially, I thought the paper towel holder might have been over the top, but the cleaner tablets are 'low p[rofile' so good for eco shipping. I tend to use paper towels and a spray bottle, but this looks pretty neat. (Cardiff, UK - I wonder if it's available...?)
    it occurs to me - why not leave the spray unit in place, and just squirt some onto a towel for small jobs..?

    If I had to use something like that phone holder, I'd put it above the elbow. Still accessible for basic operations, but much less intrusive. It's not meant for long dedicated phone stuff (like gaming or significant texting) anyway. I think one of those 'premium' water flask brands had a thing similar to that snack bowl, but it was meant for their bottle specifically. This one seems like a cheap 'inspired by'. It can be tweaked by adding some silicon anti-crumbs element either to the straw or to the bottom of the bowl, but it seems to be working as intended.
