My favorite from my own life was the ice shot glass party set. You could make about ten shot glasses of ice. They worked well, got your shots cold and if one got dropped by someone who had too much, it just melted.
My 30oz Zak from Target was about $8 a few years ago. No handle, but I got a neoprene carrier that’s got strap long enough to be carried as a crossbody. I think that was $8 or so too. So together they were 1/3 the price of a Stanley cup. And it does keep my drinks cold for hours.
16 ounces of water turned into ice, put into 40 ounce tumbler, 24 ounces of space remaining. Math checks out. If anything I would have expected less capacity by 1-2 ounces because ice expands.
@@bahamutbbob Sure but he didn't fill it to capacity. I was only stating that if the container was filled to max line (40 oz) AND the ice was floating, the total volume available would be 40 oz. This is inescapable if the two components are water and water ice.
Ordering especially on Amazon is really annoying lately. So many products make claims they don't produce on. I feel like a lot of these "companies" are only in the business of selling items and hoping the majority don't ask for refunds.
Yes, I read lots of reviews both on Amazon, and online, before I order anything on Amazon. I also try to have a real purpose for my purchases, and I want things to last, so I tend to buy better quality, more expensive items. I use things until they no longer function... I'm that person who refuses to buy bigger and better tech because it's available, or replace mugs or dishes that I already have usable ones at home... Perhaps I'm cheap? Or behind the trends ?
The Ice mold do look pretty neat, but I expectfor many the issue will be how much space it takes up in the freezer, also you'd need multiple if you have more than one family member using it.
The ice mo.d would be the only thing I’d consider buying. I can think of other uses for those ice tubes that just the tumbler. Would be useful if you would try these accessories on other brands, as well.
If you have no problem drinking out of restaurant glasses and putting restaurant forks in your mouth, why would you care if someone drank out of a cup that you're about to steal?
The pink bag looks like a cheap version of a molle bag. If it had a little curve to it then it might be slightly better but looks like something from temu
Funnily enough, I just ordered one of those ice makers for the metal tumblers the other day (No, its not a Stanley, Im not stupid to overpay ). There is a sling bag to hold your water cup, so you could accessorize both up chain and down chain with its fanny pack :D
@@MustachioFurioso9134 Indeed, there's plenty of better or equally effective cups at a lower price point, but they haven't caught the public eye. Why would Stanley bother making the product better when people will buy it just to say they've got one?
I get the plastic storage containers for food from the Dollar store, fill them with water and put them in my freezer. When frozen I pop the ice out into a large freezer bag and hit it a few times with a hammer until it's the size I want ,put it in my insulated cup, put what's left in the freezer. In the Florida heat my cold to go drink stays icy cold for hours .
i wonder if being in the heat the silicone expanded a bit to make it more spill proof maybe? i imagine the first test was done in the cold. Great vid as always!
The leak stuff is good for stopping bugs getting into your cup. I left my cup with a bit of soda in it and it ended up with tiny flies in it over night. I installed one and have never had that problem again.
I bought a 40 oz Hydraflo from Amazon before the Stanley Cup craze. Love it. I like it better than the Stanley Cup. Bought the ice cube tray recently and it works great. The lid is a little wonkey.
I bought my tumbler from Temu. The leak-proof straw part is cross cut and a round straw still leaks. I have a sleeve type 'coat' that fits totally around my 40 oz with a pouch and shoulder strap and I like it.
The ice mold seems like a cool idea (no pun intended). However, watching you remove the ice makes me wonder how long it will last before the silicone mold rips? Yes, you could wait a bit longer before removing the ice but, how many people will actually wait for the ice to melt even slightly just so it will extend the life of the mold?
The anti leak fittings were probably softer plastic that 1) deformed to fit the cup better throughout the day after being installed and 2) became slightly more snug when the metal cooled down and improved the friction fit around the bits,
The ice mold is cool. Think I’ll stick to my Tervis tumbler (because designs are fun) and the cheap tumblers (that are actually incredible quality) I find at TJMaxx.
Rubber grip on the bottom of the cup is a bad idea… I know from experience.. it will try to flip everytime you put it down and won’t slide at all if bumped. We slide cups more than we think.
I think it is supposed to be rose gold. But I don't think it works very well it the material that is supposed to be rose gold isn't either plastic or metallic.
So when someone see's that purse thing attached to your tumbler, it will be easier for them to walk off with the tumbler and your valuables. It must have been designed by thieves.
I honestly wonder why people,pay a ridiculous price for a Stanley cup other than it’s a big deal on TikTok! I have a collection of 24oz. Cups thst keep whatever I’m drinking nice and cool - the handle o the Stanley does look handy though!
@angelashortall9778 Little bit of Lead never hurt anyone. Lol. Just adds another layer of flavor. There's retrace amounts of lead in pretty much everything in daily life. As long as it doesn't break recommended levels then not much to worry about.
Hi James... I like your contents concept. Good job showing honest reviews of everyday products & gadgets. Here is my comment. Instead of verbally saying the item names & prices, perhaps you should add some captions or graphics of said items. It might take some of your time in post editing, but it's more pleasing for the viewers to watch.😊
Might not be the issue. But i think the straw has to be put through the lid the other way. Based on the video you pushed the gasket out with the straw. Not pushing it in This could still be a defective product but thats my thought process.
Yeah, just slap your phone, your ID, and your debit/credit cards onto an object that, sooner or later, you're going to set down and leave unattended. Nothing bad could ever possibly happen. Nope. Not a chance.
people will do anything and spend anything to have a leakproof cup EXCEPT for buying an ACTUAL leakproof cup. there are so many stanley cup lookalikes that are leakproof (and lead-proof)
You rocking the ice back and forth, wasn't annoying. I was just waiting for you to break them, and have to start over. I would have gotten a good laugh.
I think the ice is pretty good. Don’t have to fight ice cubes to get the straw in the cup! The dusty rose bag isn’t too bad, but definitely way too short.
I was a Rocky Mountain tumbler poster child LONG before Stanley got so popular, and I can tell you the best ice to use is solid core. Either cubes or ice balls, bigger the better. I can make ice water and let it sit overnight and still have ice the next day...or at the very least, really cold water if I start pushing 24 hours.
That color is called "dusty rose," in some applications it's considered an elegant and sophisticated color, although perhaps a bit old fashioned by today's standards.
My daughter put on some Dusty Rose fingernail polish today. I wasn't familiar with the color. First time I've seen or heard about it. It looks okay, sort of a toned down pink, not a Barbie Pink.
Only a pink pouch, unless they're going for some 80s vibe or something you would think they would have another color available. Well I suppose this would work for drinking in public in a pinch, better than brown bagging I guess
The leak proof bit is a throw in with the pouch i'd never expect it to be good, As for the pouch i'd have no use for it and i would not want to leave my valuable attached to a cup, an object that would easy for someone to grab and walk off with and draw no notice from any one. The molds work but that is way more ice than i typical use with a cold drink as i hate my drinks getting watered down as the ice melts, i likely would not buy this mold but even if i did i would only use it when i was drinking water.
the things companies do to sell products 😂plus the tumbler is the size of my head whatever happened to a good old cup or water fountain love your outfit
The reason the straw probably quit leaking is because you push the straw through from the top instead of from the bottom which made a better seal around the straw
The pouch color is ridiculous! The anti-leak parts are ok, but I think they are pretty much unnecessary. I really like the ice mold. I am going to buy one of those. I use a Costco knockoff Stanley Cup and hopefully the ice will fit my tumbler. Worth a try. I currently use sphere ice molds. I like them because they melt slowly. It will be interesting to see how the new mold will work.
Please review this Umbrella. 3 In 1 Umbrella With Fan And Mister, 2024 New Misting Umbrella With Fan, Fan Umbrella With Mister, Umbrella Misting Fan.

9:33.... so you used 16oz of water to make the ice cubes, put them in a 40oz. cup, and were shocked that it would only hold 24oz of liquid after? That's basic math. 40 - 16 = 24 😁😂 Sorry... I couldn't help it. I HAD to. Not sure if it would be that useful though unless you were re-filling your cup often. I probably wouldn't spend my money on either. Enjoyed the reviews though! 👍👍

It’s also not supposed to have lead in it, but here we are. Lol.
@@angelashortall9778 Wasn't that debunked?
@iambear.6526 it does have lead in the bottom of the cup on the outside. It is in the bottom of the insulated wall of the cup.
@@iambear.6526 considering the company came out and said they had lead, I would think not.
Ice cube makers are a staple on Freakin' Reviews. It is always interesting to see what kind of weird ice cubes are being made this time.

@@soogymoogi Yup.

The ice mold is cool. The pouch to attach to the cup might be one of the silliest products I've seen you review.
That silicone ice mold is honestly a great design!
I kinda like it, and it's oddly satisfying the way it perfectly fits in there.
the smallest silicone ice mold would be cool to have in a glass with a coctail
@@Freakinreviews will you be trying the ronco food dehydrator and other food dehydrator's?
@@shawnrodgers2180Only problem with that is the wall of ice sliding and slamming into your teeth, even in a cocktail glass.

I'd personally just fill the mug with regular ice cubes and water...no need for fancy looking ice...

The pouch is just a pouch, it probably didn’t sell well in that ugly color so they just rebranded it as a “Stanley pouch”.
The pink bag looks like a cheap version of a molle bag. If it had a little curve to it then it might be slightly better but looks like something from temu
Like most Amazon products, it's actually an Aliexpress item being resold for a higher price.

I honestly think if any of these truly worked, Stanley would have added them to their websites under their name!
For the price, the non-skid base should certainly be standard.
Stanley knows it doesn't matter, people buy them for looks so why increase the cost of production...that cuts into their bottom line
@@MustachioFurioso9134 Indeed, there's plenty of better or equally effective cups at a lower price point, but they haven't caught the public eye. Why would Stanley bother making the product better when people will buy it just to say they've got one?

Dirty Pink? Sounds like an adult dancer.
The ice mold thing was really for the can & bottle "chillers" but the listing didn't include that info.
The anti leak fittings were probably softer plastic that 1) deformed to fit the cup better throughout the day after being installed and 2) became slightly more snug when the metal cooled down and improved the friction fit around the bits,
