For our special CES shows, we go back in time and find a video we shot at a CES show years ago. We pick a video about a product that may or may not have actually made it into production. Or maybe it did, but no one bought it, and the company has folded. We show the video without having checked up on it in all the past years. Then Chad, I and the chatroom try to guess, “Is this gadget still around? Or: “Was this gadget ever made?”
For this week’s show I found a video I shot 10 years ago, at CES 2015. The gadget is from Cosmo Connected, an innovative French company. The spokesperson showed two incredible bike safety gadgets that impressed us all seeing them on this week’s show. But did they make it make it into production? Watch this week’s show and see!
Here’s that CES 2018 Gadget Warehouse Video that is also in the show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vR4dPlgrEI
Company website: https://cosmoconnected.com/ (Spoiler Alert! Seems the products made it to the marketplace, but not for us in the U.S. Someone in chat said: They do not ship to the United States!)

====================================================
Submit Your Gadget Warehouse Video & Win An Autographed MAD Magazine.
We’d love to include your video in an upcoming Giz Wiz Show!
1. Video can be ANYTHING about a gadget: I bought a piece of crap. I bought a gadget I love. I have an old gadget I can’t part with because it was ‘high tech’ years ago! Even a ‘What The Heck Is It? Gadget.
2. Videos should be just 2 to 3 minutes long in Horizontal Format! Low production value is fine, but we need to hear you and see your gadget clearly! You can be in the video if you like.
3. Post your Video on YouTube and click ‘unlisted’ when you upload it if you want, but not “Private” or we won’t be able to see it. Send us the URL link from YouTube.
4. If we show your video (and we show 99% of them) and live in the US or Canada you’ll get an autographed current issue of MAD.) But no matter where you live outside of the US & Canada, I’ll autograph an Alfred E. Neuman photo to you, scan it & email you a high res image. Just print it out, frame it, or just hang it up and no one will know it’s a copy. We’ve tested it out and fans say they look terrific!

Email of the week:
Dear Dick & Chad.
I picked up one of the Sun Lamp Projectors just like the one you demonstrated.
I grabbed it at a Bin Store that sells Amazon returns. I paid a whopping $1.00
Works great. Sanford K Batavia IL
Here the projector Sanford was talking about I recall spending about $17 or so for mine, but now it was under $13.00 on 1/31/25 : https://amzn.to/4hcfJaH
