Oh Boy, Reusable Water Balls!

These are great fun. They’re refillable soft silicone water balls. So much easier to fill than a water balloon! Just open the water balloon and sink it into a bowl or pail of water, It will quick fill and automatically close! The company calls it “self-sealing technology.” Unlike traditional water balloons that create waste these water balls can be used over and over again. Made of Eco-Friendly latex-free silicone material. I bought the 4 pack for about $10, which is roughly $2.50 each. But in large packs up to 30 water balls the price is more like $1.40 or so.

Mosquitos in my backyard seemed to be getting worse as the summer wears on. So I bought the MOSQZAP Electric Fly Swatter 2 Pack. It has a foldable handle if you’d like to use it like a traditional fly swatter. Instantly eliminate mosquitoes, flies, fruit flies, gnats and other pests in a single swing. It can be used as an outdoor standing zapper too with the built in feet. There’s even a hook to hang it up if you prefer. Charges via USB-C with the included USB cable. The company says the built-in Lithium battery offers up to 10,000 zaps on a single With an activation button and glowing indicator light, to help avoid accidental zapping. Sold as a 2-pack for about $36.00.

I didn’t know this about new ruling about power strips on ships, but now I do! First info on the one I bought on Amazon.

It’s the HanyCony Flat Plug Extension Cord, 5ft Power Strip with 4 USB Ports. Its 8 in 1 design can charge 8 devices at the same time. 4 AC outlets (15A/1875W Max) are separated so large plug won’t block each other. Two of the four charging ports are USB C ports. The USB C power strip can charge up to 5V/3A. USB-A ports can charge up to 5V/2.4A Max. The one feature I look for when I buy a power strip is missing, and that’s a surges protector. It’s missing for a reason I didn’t about till I read that most major cruise lines now require that power strips DO NOT have Surge Protection. It has something to do with the way ship power differs from power generated on land. So this cruise ship power strip is definitely a must-have accessory for an ocean voyage. It was under $20. The same company makes a version with surge protection. Links below.

Chad polled our loyal Patreons and they voted on his new theme for August. That winning theme is “Cheap Gadgets As Seen On Shark Tank”.

Chad’s 4^th Cheap Gadget As Seen On Shark Tank is The Edible Spoon.

First info from their website: According to National Geographic, in the U.S., more than 100 million plastic utensils are used every day, and 91% of biodegradable and compostable plastic ends up in landfill rather than having the chance to be reused or recycled. By 2050, there will be more plastic than fish in our oceans. IncrEDIBLE Spoons are taking the step in the right direction to reduce this waste, and it truly is the only zero footprint option. These vegan, non-GMO, and natural spoons come in 8 flavors, many being savory, sweet, or plain, including: Oregano, Chili, Black Pepper, Indian, Masala, Vanilla, Cocoa, Plain (flavorless).

And Chad’s take: Chad was very excited about this, as were the folks on Shark Tank. Chad was not quite as excited after he ate his 1^st spoon. But on this week’s show you’ll see how the spoon worked as a spoon used to consume hot soup, how they tasted, and even how they survive after they’re shipped to a customer! And the ‘sale price’ on their website!!

More from Norris Hall:  Also, I hadn’t planned on doing a second video, but when Chad mentioned Zenni, his new favorite eyewear site (and one of mine, too), I got inspired…   (By the way, it took me a few years to accumulate these glasses– I didn’t buy them all at once!)
