Chad showed his solar hat with built-in fan and found it wasn’t very good. Then in a burst of stupidity I decided to buy a different kind of solar fan. One designed to fit on any kind of baseball cap. That way I could wear my MAD cap, or even my World News Now cap and have a nice breeze from the solar fan. Big mistake! There’s actually no description of this gadget on Amazon. Everything about it is in the Amazon name: “Yosoo Portable Solar Cap Fan, Solar Power Cap Hat Clip on Mini Fan Pocket Clips Solar Hat Sport Fan USB Hanging Cooler for Indoor Outdoor.” Got all that? Well forget it. And if you need proof just watch this week’s show, or the Giz Wiz Video below. I show you all the ways this fan is hopeless and worthless. Under $15 when I bought it in July 2020.

This made Chad’s ‘worst of’ list. I was a bit more enthused about it. It Could Be A Fun New Sweater – if you have an old, small smartphone.
When I saw this “fireplace” sweater online I thought I have to buy one, and I did. It’s the Digital Dudz Morph Men’s Fireplace Ugly Christmas Sweater. I don’t know why they call it an ugly Christmas sweater because I think it looks fairly decent, except maybe if you buy the pink version. It’s what you can do with it that makes it so much fun. The company says you download the free Digital Dudz app onto your smartphone, find the Crackling Fireplace animation and then slide the phone into the front-loading pocket. I found two problems. The biggest is that the smartphone pocket is small, about 3″ X 5 1/2″. The only phone I own that fit in it is my old Galaxy S5. Also the app constantly crashes. Many reviews online had the same problem. But it’s easy to get a fireplace video on Youtube. With the small smartphone installed, the sweater looks great. It’s a real attention getting. Chad was going to order one instantly until he realized all his phones are too big for the sweater pocket, which I think will be a problem for many geeks who didn’t hold on to one of their older, smaller smartphones. It’s $25 to $30.00 on Amazon, depending on if it’s on sale or not.
