We Did This On The Show As Another WTHII, but — spoiler alert — They are the

YoleShy Sponge Kitchen Natural Cellulose Sponges. It’s a 10 Pack of Compressed Sponges for Cleaning, Doing Dishes and even DIY for Kids. The company says their Natural Sponges are made from 100% wood pulp, fully biodegradable, and compostable. But, they do more than act as sponges. The company adds: These magical card-like cellulose sponges allow kids to create different shapes and patterns, and then put them in water to absorb water and swell it up. It’s a fun experience. — And they’re right, these sponges are great fun. Watch the video and see how fast they ‘explode’ from a thin, flat hard shape into a soft sponge! Inexpensive too. Ten for under $6.50 as of 11/27/25.

Meet The Brightever Snowman LED Light Bulbs

These snowman LED lightbulbs are made with a durable plastic body. They indeed seem to be ruggedly built. However, I can’t how they can also have a detachable silicone Santa/snowman head. That’s why the description says, but I believe detaching the head will destroy the bulb. Included are 2 USB-C charging cables. The company says just 1-2 hours of charging delivers 6-8 hours of steady light. There’s a side switch for a simple on/off. They’re inexpensive too, under $14.00 for two. There’s an option to buy a set of four on Amazon too for about $24.00. .

It’s the MINLU Multi Charging Cable. And it turns out I have no use for it, because I didn’t read the description on Amazon carefully. But, it could be something very useful to folks with lots of gadgets to charge. Plug the USB-A end into your computer and now you a choice of 2 lightning connectors, one micro-USB and one USB-C at the other end. Although the copy says fast charging the maximum total output current is up to 4.0A (total, not each end). The extended length is listed as 4 feet. But closed and rolled up, the gadget is only about 4”, so it can easily fit in backpack or even a pocket. 2 of these were a little more than $12.00 on 11/28/25.

We shot this video at Dick’s Gadget Warehouse which for dozens of years was owned by the Sofia family. It was recently sold and is now part of the Storage Post Facilities. A real benefit of the new owners is that now there is access to the lockers 7 days a week and for longer hours than before. They bought two other Sofia Warehouses too. Here’s the new companies website: https://www.storagepost.com/

On this trip to Dick’s Gadget Warehouse I found something really old from Logitech. It came out about 24 years ago! I don/t recall when I did with my Palm M500, but judging from the Logitech keyboard case in this video, I doubt if I was able to use it. I don’t think I could ever get it flat enough to be able to type on those tiny membrane keys.

Email of the week:

Mo finds a great new gadget —and simply says: “I love this idea”

It’s a mobility chair called the Uni-One from Honda.

I did a web search and found Rich DeMuro doing a demo of it on Instagram. It has almost 19,000 likes as of 10/25.
