Strange gadgets

A novelty double pizza cutter that works, and cuts better than a normal single wheel.

A novelty 10 kg mug that is absurdly heavy, holds half as much as a normal mug and made him give up on his drink.

Works well on kitchen roll but only partially waterproofed him, and he would not recommend it for clothing.

Looks like rubbish but the lid does keep a drink hot.

Instincts say not to put a foot in them, but they work and his feet stayed dry.

Keeps his face dry and hands free, with no shame about wearing it.

Very loud, but could be handy for signalling the toilet is occupied.

A salt-firing fly gun that kind of works.

The $5 fan has decent airflow but cannot blow out a candle and needs its batteries replaced.

The $10 fan is rechargeable with 3 hours per charge and multiple speed levels, and gets close to blowing out the candle, but is not very po…

An alarm clock with small bulbs at the bottom that he assumes are infrared, concealing a camera.

A pen with a hidden lens that is no bigger than a normal pen, making it hard to spot.

Brilliantly executed scented Lotso phone, but he finds the idea unsettling and rates the concept a 2.

A bizarre gaming-brand collab razor that started as an April Fools joke, with a surprisingly good shape.

He says the candy-style keycaps look so real his brain refuses to believe they are not sweets.

He is amused by the dumpling keycap, which magnetically attaches to a steamer that connects to the keyboard.

He finds the Lego-style keycap incredible because you can build whatever you like on top of it.

He is impressed by how detailed the house plant keycap is.

He finds the cheese keycap so realistic that he wishes it were slightly less detailed.

He is surprised the Apex Legends gun keycap is fully metal and comes in an extremely premium box.

He calls it one of the stranger meals he has had, as it also presses the neighbouring key with every click.

Press-to-cycle underwater light modes that impressed him.

Lighting effects sell the thundercloud illusion, though he thinks you could make it at home.

A fitting idea for a reading light that changes colour on opening, but it only holds out to about 90 degrees.
