Back in elementary school, I remember those prank fake packs of gum that would shock you anytime you tried to take the stick of gum. It wasn’t $200 and that thing shocked every time lol.
thats not comparable. you don't take a stick of gum out every time you want to break a bad habit. you take a stick of gum out as a prank to your friends
I actually had a co-worker who bought one of these to help him quit smoking. He said "If anything, all it made him want to do was stomp on the damn thing and buy a carton of Marlboros." He eventually did quit smoking but it was well after he smashed the thing with a sledge hammer.
See, you're presented with two options when you're zapped- stop the undesirable behavior, or stop pressing the button Pressing the button is temporally closer to the zap than the bad behavior, as well, so the Pavlovian response associates pressing the button with the shock, instead of the bad behavior. This ultimately results in the most obvious consequence ever- either you have the willpower to pick preventing the behavior over the button, or you aren't and you stop using the damn thing. And if you have the willpower to pick the behavior as the problem instead of the button, you have the willpower to make a solution that costs less than $200 actually work.
honestly? as someone who has debilitating adhd and somehow managed to survive to my third year of architect school i could actually really use a product like this right now to zap me every single time i open youtube!!! or hell, even make it a true torture device by having it track my location and position and what software i am using on what device and literally zap me every 5 minutes that i am not doing homework! i don’t know how to explain why i would do my homework if there was a physical threat to make me do it, but i won’t just do it without the threat.. not until the last minute anyways. it’s just how it is like, i won’t do anything without there being some sort of pressure to make me do it because my brains reward circuit is fucked and that’s part of the disorder. getting a bracelet that zaps me would certainly be less time consuming than going to therapy. i do think the guy in the video has adhd and the fact that he called it “add” doesn’t mean he’s lying about the diagnosis- he probably has the inattentive subtype which is adhd without the hyperactivity and is sometimes called just add. even with medication i still get distracted very easily and i end up wasting all the focus i get out of my meds on writing youtube comments or something instead of doing the ridiculous amount of homework that i need to get done like right now jeez i wish i had that thing to shock me aaauugh!!! i can see why the idea of the product sounds silly to anyone who doesn’t also have this specific neurodevelopmental disorder but as someone with adhd who has to do a lot of stuff that i really don’t want to do i totally understand his idea. if he made it cheaper and marketed it as an adhd specific product i’m sure that there are many struggling college students who need to be literally tortured to make them do their homework before the last minute that would buy it.

The fake laughter is part of any social interaction.maybe it's just me, but if I only laughed when I actually found something funny,it'd happen rarely and I'd come off as bitter.
@Beardless Guy exactly I don't know why people always act like they have to fake laugh. like how about you stop caring about how others are going to perceive you when you don't find their jokes funny. It's like people make adult life harder for themselves just for the sake of it
Yeah but that reminds people that there's a basically free and much less complicated version of this product that everyone already has in a drawer somewhere.
@@michaelhall5429 The rubber band does add something more than pinching yourself. When you just pinch yourself, you have to much control over what you are doing, you can go too hard or too easy depending on your state of mind and that kind of ruins the effect of the technique. With a rubber band, you just pull on it the same distance and let go, it's easier to replicate and puts a healthy distance between you and the snap, it's not about inflicting pain on yourself, it's about "snapping" yourself back to reality and the goals that you want to accomplish basically getting yourself out of your mind or your urge to do something and start on a fresh train of tought. You pull the rubber yourself, but it snaps back on it's own, and the fact that it's no know snapping it back is very important.
I actually bought one of these years ago and the only thing it helped me do was get me out of bed on time because you can sync it with your alarm and after not waking up on time one day and getting shocked out of bed, it had me up on my feet every day on time after that.
I set my second alarm (5 minutes after my first one) to an air raid siren. That's a way to start the day with some solid anxiety if you don't get up on the first alarm 😅
That guy should have bought a cameo shout out from Kevin O' Leary, he could have then played it for the others as an endorsement before pitching his idea.
I hate when people tell you to not feel bad when you don’t actually feel bad but because they said that, you now have to act like you don’t which makes you look like you feel bad. Its the same when they tell you to calm down when you’re visibily calm but now have to act extra calm. I feel you Kev
It´a thing. But you don´t shock yourself there. If you have to stop your bad habit to then go and shock yourself, you don´t need to shock yourself anymore....
I honestly couldn't tell your fake laughs are fake laughs. Just keep doing what you're doing cause it works. You got a unique get-up, the scraggy beard, you look like you spend hours in your basement mapping the locations of scammers on a giant map 😂.
I can't remember the details, but there is a line in the Shark Tank contract that says if you appear on the show, the show gets 2-5% of your profits in perpetuity. It cuts down on grifters and makes the participants more likely to take a deal. I have no clue what this guy's calculations were...
I'm a super deep sleeper and bought a pavlok to use as an alarm clock. It worked very well. The customer service was abysmal though, and it only lasted a year before it quit working.
I'm a deep sleeper too and actually thought about getting this until I saw reviews like yours of stopping working after x amount of time. Instead of this I went and got an old style twin bell alarm clock and its really helped wake me up
It is astounding that the zapper bracelet guy went on a show to get someone to invest in his product and then turns down the first person who offered because he doesn’t want to work with someone he doesn’t know
He says it "helps you become aware by alerting you" but the damn thing needs to be manually activated! Being aware and alerting you to the fact you're doing the behaviour is literally one of the first things he says it does, and it flat out just doesn't have anything approaching that function!
Say what you want. But, this man right here DIDN'T break a sweat during the whole thing! So, either coffeezilla's theory about the stage light being directed at them is incorrect or this guy truly has balls.
He also has ADD or is neurodiverse. That means he's highly intelligent and thinks and responds very differently to situations than "normies". A point that most people in the comments section (I'm still scrolling down) and Coffeezilla have failed to acknowledge and show empathy for. He keeps getting interrupted and disrespected, so no wonder he got triggered. I would have done so too in similar circumstances, also being neurodiverse.
@@whensomethingcriesagainno it can trust I have a Latina mom and I have been zapped before( as an adult volunteer) and I never had so much anxiety and as a mom now it can be highly abusive.

Fake laughing isn't bad in my opinion. Depending on the situation of course. If you see the humor in something and you want to laugh. then laugh. Sometimes laughing can be hard to do even around things you find funny, but I see it like a muscle. The more ya use it the better and easier it gets to use! I believe fake is when it's used in a condescending type of way. If you don't find something funny than don't laugh. But, if you see the humor in it, than go for it! I can't tell the difference with you here, and you aren't an asshole for wanting to laugh at things. That's just my two cents, though, errbody got their own opinions on this one.
@@Edgelordfosho Make sure to never ever fully laugh or chuckle at anything else, and when you do find something actually funny just give a shitty smarmy smirk and one exxagerated chuckle. guarantee some people will think you're a try hard douche over long enough time
You hit the nail on the head. A rubber band on your wrist to flick would serve the same purpose at a drastically lower cost with higher reliability than that two hundred dollar zap strap doohickey.
This isn't a terrible idea actually. This sort of conditioning works. The problem is people usually remove the devices rendering them useless. The solution is a shock device that can't be removed and charges on its own somehow.
Also the delay and random shocks probably makes it much harder for your subconscious to learn anything from it. I don't really get why he'd make them that way.
There was an actual study that used something like this (along with other things) to help someone stop using drugs. The huge but here was that they did not use this device they actually used something much simpler a ruberband so spend $200 or like maybe $5 (being overly generous) . At the end of the study they stated that the punishment was actually dropped simply because the person didn't use it. So yeah its not that the idea doesn't work it's just that asking someone to physically hurt themselves and putting that burden on them doesn't work. If it is going to fail anyway I would much rather pop myself with a rubberband until I realize that I will never have the discipline to to that consistently than spend $200 on something that doesn't work and also won't help.
I love that they didn’t mince words. Aussie Shark Tank would send him off with, “we wish you well, good luck to you, and you absolutely do not have the most punchable, arrogant face we’ve ever seen on the programme.”
I tried this a few years ago with a rubber band. I just took off the rubber band after a few days. Now if this guy started a company that rents out people to slap you in the face that might be a viable product 😂
I suspect he'd get a clientele that wasn't actually trying to drop habits, if you know what I mean. Then again, that might already be the people buying his product. Maybe that's why so many of them succeeded within a week.
$20 usd... Wow, you wouldn't believe what you can do for $20.... You could get a pen shock for less than $5, METAL This ...might require a die of $30K, plus silicon and rhe usage of the machine Plus, pcb bluetooth and button Logistics and taxes, for 1million units... Idk, less than $2 most probably per unit
From what I saw counting the delayed shocks this thing worked about 34% of the time, and if we're being serious and counting shocks that are on time this product fails 100% of the time. Make sure your shit works before trying to scam people damn.
The sad part is this product has changed my life, but he focuses on the wrong part. Seems a lot of the Pavlok community are heavy sleepers that use it as an alarm exclusively. If you're a heavy sleeper that can sleep thru any alarm, this thing is definitely worth the money. It goes off & I have to get up & do 10 jumping jacks or it'll keep shocking me at a custom interval. The adrenaline also wakes you up really fast. No more groggy mornings. Coffee, you got a bad one, my 2 hasn't had any issues like that. Also, are you sure you didn't have the hand raise detection on? I think it's on by default and it'll zap you every time you bring your hand to your face.
Same!!! (1) The quality is crap - my first one didn’t work at all. (2) I sleep through multiple alarms and this thing actually wakes me up. I set it for 10 min after my first alarm. After about a month using it I woke up without hitting snooze for my first time in years!!! This is a product of last resort if you have trouble waking up but it worked for me after trying EVERYTHING.
Interesting cause I have wanted something to shock me awake as I have a terrible time getting up, might look into this or something similar if someone has finally made one.
@@marcioaso They said they're a heavy sleeper, that's independent of daily internet usage. I take sleep medication due to insomnia, so I sleep really heavy and set like 10 alarms, I could see how a product like this could be beneficial.
I had a coworker with the most insane RBF and he turned out to be the most funny and chill dude to work with. I have uncontrollable fake laughs myself. Such weird mannerisms we develop.
"It's a Stanley Milgram experiment on your wrist" As much as I think this product is a joke, I did notice that after the third zap around 9:00 minutes, Coffee's face changes and you can tell he's really supressing the desire to put on his video demeanor because he really doesn't want to press it again. I think it's obvious that this mechanism could work, obviously if something punched you in the face everytime you did something you're not going to want to do that thing anymore but the problem is that it relies on you zapping yourself.
Not even the face, bro. He's looking directly at Mark Cuban when Kevin O'Leary confirms that this technique can work. He's sizing Mark freaking Cuban up in that moment at 9:14.
I find it odd how he alludes that he fully came up with the idea of conditioning, when his product is called pavlok . Pavlov’s dogs experiment literally proved the idea that we can be conditioned. pavlok..pavlov... could be a coincidence but I doubt it lol
Yeah it's way too close to the actual name. No one randomly decides on a name like 'pavlok' especially with a product like this and not know. If only he weren't a dick about it and shared the history of pavlov, how often it works, etc lol
@@ultraliquid Honestly, they all probably knew that Pavlok is a reference to Pavlov. Everyone knows about that. He's not trying to say he came up with the idea for conditioning... at least I didn't pick that up from it. He's saying he came up with the idea for a simple device that allows you to condition yourself. The product isn't terrible in concept but in execution it probably won't work for 99% of people.
The product could work if it was a reasonable strength, reliable and more importantly automatic. He could have made an app to go with it that shocks u when u use certain websites or apps on your phone or on your computer. For people struggling with to much snacking he could make a box that connects to the device in which you can put your candy and it shocks you whenever you open the box. Alternatively a lock for the fridge door with a timer function could be beneficial.
Need more lighthearted reaction coffeezilla nowadays. Can be crime fighting bad ass while still having occasional funny video. I always found coffee genuinely funny
"If I have the discipline to buzz myself, don't I also have the discipline to just not do the thing?" Yeah, that's the killer question right there. If that's true then the product is hopeless.
lol I bought the product years ago actually helped me with my candy issue LOL. BUT I will say that you do need to have enough discipline to be honest with yourself. I have been diagnosed with ADHD but that diagnosis didn't happen til maybe 5 month ago. I used this product before my diagnosis. Also, the flavor of the candy I ate didn't change it was still delicious lol. I was just more apprehensive about eating it
It is true that if you change your level of consumption of something like sugar, your tolerance to it can shift so it can make things you previously thought as a little bit sweet, taste *extremely* sweet to you, maybe too sweet. I don’t think it changes the flavor exactly but it does change your body’s expectations.
At the risk of becoming one of Those Guys (you know the kind), I have to say it: What always bothered me most about this product is that the name is wrong. Pavlov is associated with classical conditioning, but this device is a form of aversion therapy, which is based on the operant conditioning theories of B.F. Skinner. Oh, and also aversion therapy is crap and almost no one does it anymore, but that's another story entirely.
@Coffeezilla hello Coffee how are you.? Glad that you replied. I have been exposed to these scammers and I must say your work matches my approach and I made a recent decision to write 📝 funny content about each famous scammer like LIE 🤥 TOPEZ and others. Anyway leave your watts app number and I would like to connect with you 😊
Snapping a rubber band on your wrist would be way easier. It's FAR cheaper, works every time, you control how hard you snap it, it doesn't need to be charged, and you're not going to injure yourself unless you go way overboard with it.
Maneesh’s brother, Ramit Sethi, also sells overpriced courses that contain information that can be easily found on the internet. I fell prey to one of them
“if you haven’t watched this yet then we are going to relive it together” that makes no sense dude. if i haven’t seen something then how will i be “re living” it while we watch it??? it would be my first time seeing it?
So I don't regularly watch shark tank or dragon's den so I don't know their names but the guy who says to the Pavlok guy "if I have the discipline to shock myself when I bite my nails, can't I just stop biting my nails," completely unraveled why Pavlok is useless.

The thing is, he filmed the guy slapping him and posted it online, so it's provably not his parent that did it.
@@pseudorealityisreal Idk but my parents or neither my friend's parents beat them as a kid unless extreme actions. I'd prefer beating than get scolded on, I used to start crying by myself when messed something so I had to be stopped crying, probably that's why.
BUT
Super Arrogant misbehaving kids and especially when they stole something do get disciplined by parents in most of the cases in those ways. So yeah.
The fake laughter is part of any social interaction.maybe it's just me, but if I only laughed when I actually found something funny,it'd happen rarely and I'd come off as bitter.
True but very sad
@Beardless Guy people fake laugh all the time?
I agree, i'd say it is apart of our nonverbal English language communication, like eye contact.
@Beardless Guy there is a word for people without beards .....
Women
@Beardless Guy exactly I don't know why people always act like they have to fake laugh. like how about you stop caring about how others are going to perceive you when you don't find their jokes funny. It's like people make adult life harder for themselves just for the sake of it
He could've just said it's like snapping a rubber band to quit smoking, which people actually do...
Yeah but that reminds people that there's a basically free and much less complicated version of this product that everyone already has in a drawer somewhere.
@@hannahpower3609 you could just pinch yourself, you don't even need a rubber band.
@@michaelhall5429 You could find a rubber band on the sidewalk
@@michaelhall5429 The rubber band does add something more than pinching yourself.
When you just pinch yourself, you have to much control over what you are doing, you can go too hard or too easy depending on your state of mind and that kind of ruins the effect of the technique.
With a rubber band, you just pull on it the same distance and let go, it's easier to replicate and puts a healthy distance between you and the snap, it's not about inflicting pain on yourself, it's about "snapping" yourself back to reality and the goals that you want to accomplish basically getting yourself out of your mind or your urge to do something and start on a fresh train of tought.
You pull the rubber yourself, but it snaps back on it's own, and the fact that it's no know snapping it back is very important.
They basically rebranded it as now a shock clock so it wakes you up with a shock and you have to do jumping jacks to turn it off.
I actually bought one of these years ago and the only thing it helped me do was get me out of bed on time because you can sync it with your alarm and after not waking up on time one day and getting shocked out of bed, it had me up on my feet every day on time after that.
Actually if that was the pitch from the get go, he might have had more believers. That and if he wasnt such a condescending douche...
Now that's a real feature right there!
i wonder if it can zap me to sleep as well lol
I set my second alarm (5 minutes after my first one) to an air raid siren. That's a way to start the day with some solid anxiety if you don't get up on the first alarm 😅
Do you think Coffee's pavlov was just faulty, or does it only work sometimes? I'm thinking he either can't feel it, or his is faulty.
That guy should have bought a cameo shout out from Kevin O' Leary, he could have then played it for the others as an endorsement before pitching his idea.

I hate when people tell you to not feel bad when you don’t actually feel bad but because they said that, you now have to act like you don’t which makes you look like you feel bad. Its the same when they tell you to calm down when you’re visibily calm but now have to act extra calm. I feel you Kev

When the guy said damn after getting the offer I was like "Yep this guy just wanted the exposure on tv and not the offer".
I can't remember the details, but there is a line in the Shark Tank contract that says if you appear on the show, the show gets 2-5% of your profits in perpetuity. It cuts down on grifters and makes the participants more likely to take a deal.
I have no clue what this guy's calculations were...
I'm a super deep sleeper and bought a pavlok to use as an alarm clock. It worked very well. The customer service was abysmal though, and it only lasted a year before it quit working.
Thats one expensive alarm then
I'm a deep sleeper too and actually thought about getting this until I saw reviews like yours of stopping working after x amount of time. Instead of this I went and got an old style twin bell alarm clock and its really helped wake me up
the collar contains NEXT GEN AI that has its own personality and decides when to shock you .It also holds grudges. Take my money
Criminally underrated comment.
So when it shocks you, is that because the Machine Spirit was appeased, or because it's angry?
Lol

dude I'm dying at the fact this thing keeps randomly shocking you 😭 This sounds like a nightmare product. Just random shocks throughout the day
sounds like psychological torture!
it doesnt, you actually have to press it yourself, so its useless
I wonder if it was just not registering presses, but "buffering" them so it delivers four shocks in a row eventually?
There are some kinky... implications here honestly.

9:45 “Kevin O’Leary loves these like, terrible deals” - a comment that aged like fine wine.
It is astounding that the zapper bracelet guy went on a show to get someone to invest in his product and then turns down the first person who offered because he doesn’t want to work with someone he doesn’t know
He says it "helps you become aware by alerting you" but the damn thing needs to be manually activated! Being aware and alerting you to the fact you're doing the behaviour is literally one of the first things he says it does, and it flat out just doesn't have anything approaching that function!
Say what you want. But, this man right here DIDN'T break a sweat during the whole thing! So, either coffeezilla's theory about the stage light being directed at them is incorrect or this guy truly has balls.
He also has ADD or is neurodiverse. That means he's highly intelligent and thinks and responds very differently to situations than "normies". A point that most people in the comments section (I'm still scrolling down) and Coffeezilla have failed to acknowledge and show empathy for.
He keeps getting interrupted and disrespected, so no wonder he got triggered.
I would have done so too in similar circumstances, also being neurodiverse.

Fake laughing isn't bad in my opinion. Depending on the situation of course. If you see the humor in something and you want to laugh. then laugh. Sometimes laughing can be hard to do even around things you find funny, but I see it like a muscle. The more ya use it the better and easier it gets to use! I believe fake is when it's used in a condescending type of way. If you don't find something funny than don't laugh. But, if you see the humor in it, than go for it! I can't tell the difference with you here, and you aren't an asshole for wanting to laugh at things. That's just my two cents, though, errbody got their own opinions on this one.
What if I genuinely find something amusing but want to be condescending because I’m an asshole as well?
@@Edgelordfosho Make sure to never ever fully laugh or chuckle at anything else, and when you do find something actually funny just give a shitty smarmy smirk and one exxagerated chuckle.

"Are you all out?"
"F**k you"
Good Lord 😂
You hit the nail on the head. A rubber band on your wrist to flick would serve the same purpose at a drastically lower cost with higher reliability than that two hundred dollar zap strap doohickey.
Alternatively, lick a 9 volt. Far cheaper, works every time, and honestly not that bad
Jimmy Fallon needs this. Let the guest decide the shocks
Jimmy Falloff
He wouldn’t survive a single show if you did that
This isn't a terrible idea actually. This sort of conditioning works. The problem is people usually remove the devices rendering them useless. The solution is a shock device that can't be removed and charges on its own somehow.
I saw you on Tim Pool’s channel!
lol man noo, u need to be able to remove it, wtf?
Also the delay and random shocks probably makes it much harder for your subconscious to learn anything from it. I don't really get why he'd make them that way.
There was an actual study that used something like this (along with other things) to help someone stop using drugs. The huge but here was that they did not use this device they actually used something much simpler a ruberband so spend $200 or like maybe $5 (being overly generous) . At the end of the study they stated that the punishment was actually dropped simply because the person didn't use it.
So yeah its not that the idea doesn't work it's just that asking someone to physically hurt themselves and putting that burden on them doesn't work. If it is going to fail anyway I would much rather pop myself with a rubberband until I realize that I will never have the discipline to to that consistently than spend $200 on something that doesn't work and also won't help.
Wtf man, do you watch everything? You are everywhere on TY. Love your work homie
I love that they didn’t mince words. Aussie Shark Tank would send him off with, “we wish you well, good luck to you, and you absolutely do not have the most punchable, arrogant face we’ve ever seen on the programme.”

Kevin: "I know."
Robert: "KEVIN, it's not your fault."
Kevin: "I KNOW!"
I tried this a few years ago with a rubber band. I just took off the rubber band after a few days. Now if this guy started a company that rents out people to slap you in the face that might be a viable product 😂
I suspect he'd get a clientele that wasn't actually trying to drop habits, if you know what I mean. Then again, that might already be the people buying his product. Maybe that's why so many of them succeeded within a week.
@@Nixeu42 That is literally the exact thing that I thought of as well.
A tiny China style sweatshop 19.99 silicon shockcollar for dogs, for 199. Sounds legit.
You attracted a Spam bot
$20 usd... Wow, you wouldn't believe what you can do for $20....
You could get a pen shock for less than $5, METAL
This ...might require a die of $30K, plus silicon and rhe usage of the machine
Plus, pcb bluetooth and button
Logistics and taxes, for 1million units... Idk, less than $2 most probably per unit
19.99??? not even 9!
From what I saw counting the delayed shocks this thing worked about 34% of the time, and if we're being serious and counting shocks that are on time this product fails 100% of the time. Make sure your shit works before trying to scam people damn.
The shock at 8:40 when Zilla says "DHISTHEEN" must've really hurt for it to change his tone. Hilarious stuff Zilla. Love the content as always.

Weirdos putting it this on, just not on the wrist.

The sad part is this product has changed my life, but he focuses on the wrong part. Seems a lot of the Pavlok community are heavy sleepers that use it as an alarm exclusively. If you're a heavy sleeper that can sleep thru any alarm, this thing is definitely worth the money. It goes off & I have to get up & do 10 jumping jacks or it'll keep shocking me at a custom interval. The adrenaline also wakes you up really fast. No more groggy mornings.
Coffee, you got a bad one, my 2 hasn't had any issues like that. Also, are you sure you didn't have the hand raise detection on? I think it's on by default and it'll zap you every time you bring your hand to your face.
Same!!!
(1) The quality is crap - my first one didn’t work at all.
(2) I sleep through multiple alarms and this thing actually wakes me up. I set it for 10 min after my first alarm. After about a month using it I woke up without hitting snooze for my first time in years!!!
This is a product of last resort if you have trouble waking up but it worked for me after trying EVERYTHING.
Instead of buying a $200 crappy gadget, try to get out of the internet sooner everyday.
Interesting cause I have wanted something to shock me awake as I have a terrible time getting up, might look into this or something similar if someone has finally made one.
@@marcioaso They said they're a heavy sleeper, that's independent of daily internet usage. I take sleep medication due to insomnia, so I sleep really heavy and set like 10 alarms, I could see how a product like this could be beneficial.
Why would that be by default??
One issue I see, is that the habit I would try to break, I might not even realize I’m doing it. So how would I remember to shock myself
Okay, but hear me out... I suffer from RBF. A fake laugh every once in a while makes me come across as more human than what my face normally does.
I had a coworker with the most insane RBF and he turned out to be the most funny and chill dude to work with. I have uncontrollable fake laughs myself. Such weird mannerisms we develop.
RBF is an underrated talent. RBF powers comedy and menial jobs the world over.

"It's a Stanley Milgram experiment on your wrist"
As much as I think this product is a joke, I did notice that after the third zap around 9:00 minutes, Coffee's face changes and you can tell he's really supressing the desire to put on his video demeanor because he really doesn't want to press it again. I think it's obvious that this mechanism could work, obviously if something punched you in the face everytime you did something you're not going to want to do that thing anymore but the problem is that it relies on you zapping yourself.
Not even the face, bro.
He's looking directly at Mark Cuban when Kevin O'Leary confirms that this technique can work. He's sizing Mark freaking Cuban up in that moment at 9:14.
I find it odd how he alludes that he fully came up with the idea of conditioning, when his product is called pavlok . Pavlov’s dogs experiment literally proved the idea that we can be conditioned. pavlok..pavlov... could be a coincidence but I doubt it lol
Yeah it's way too close to the actual name. No one randomly decides on a name like 'pavlok' especially with a product like this and not know. If only he weren't a dick about it and shared the history of pavlov, how often it works, etc lol
@@ultraliquid Honestly, they all probably knew that Pavlok is a reference to Pavlov. Everyone knows about that. He's not trying to say he came up with the idea for conditioning... at least I didn't pick that up from it. He's saying he came up with the idea for a simple device that allows you to condition yourself. The product isn't terrible in concept but in execution it probably won't work for 99% of people.
@@ultraliquid yeah totally agree it would show some validity but like you say, conducted himself in such an unlikeable, sleezy manner for some reason
I Wonder If this product should be legal

I think this is called Aversion Therapy and it’s “effectiveness” is still being debated
That guy straight up just told Kevin O'Leary that he isn't focused on the money. No fake laughter needed for that one.
The product could work if it was a reasonable strength, reliable and more importantly automatic. He could have made an app to go with it that shocks u when u use certain websites or apps on your phone or on your computer. For people struggling with to much snacking he could make a box that connects to the device in which you can put your candy and it shocks you whenever you open the box. Alternatively a lock for the fridge door with a timer function could be beneficial.
You can do this

"If I have the discipline to buzz myself, don't I also have the discipline to just not do the thing?"
Yeah, that's the killer question right there. If that's true then the product is hopeless.
"Isn't this a $150 of a rubber band you can slap on your wrist?"
Another killer question. Yes, it's exactly like that but less reliable.
Stephen's laugh reminds me of my best friend's. It's quirky and charming on both. Never change!
Thank you for being a daily uploader Mr.Zilla- we all appreciate you.
lol I bought the product years ago actually helped me with my candy issue LOL. BUT I will say that you do need to have enough discipline to be honest with yourself. I have been diagnosed with ADHD but that diagnosis didn't happen til maybe 5 month ago. I used this product before my diagnosis. Also, the flavor of the candy I ate didn't change it was still delicious lol. I was just more apprehensive about eating it
Just pinch yourself everytime, since you're conscious of it. The problem is that most habits happen unconsciously
Why not just use a rubber band?
@@gangatalishis bought it when it was still a kickstarter (can't remember which crowd funding app to be honest) so it didn't cost 200 dollars lol
@@RamonSanders I know right lol
It is true that if you change your level of consumption of something like sugar, your tolerance to it can shift so it can make things you previously thought as a little bit sweet, taste *extremely* sweet to you, maybe too sweet. I don’t think it changes the flavor exactly but it does change your body’s expectations.

You could spend $200 on this product,or you could spend $15 on a shock pen that works 100% of the time
At the risk of becoming one of Those Guys (you know the kind), I have to say it: What always bothered me most about this product is that the name is wrong. Pavlov is associated with classical conditioning, but this device is a form of aversion therapy, which is based on the operant conditioning theories of B.F. Skinner.
Oh, and also aversion therapy is crap and almost no one does it anymore, but that's another story entirely.
