Here’s The New Nov/Dec 2021 “What The Heck Is It?” Gadget!
Surprise. No one guessed the Sept/Oct WTHII gadget!
Cute, Clever, and ‘It Might Be That’ Answers That Won
Here’s The New Sept/Oct 2021 “What The Heck Is It?” Gadget!


Do you know ‘what the heck it is’? To play, come up with the right answer, or make up a silly, or inventive answer that we find funny or clever that describes the gizmo shown. We give away up to 18 autographed copies of MAD Magazine. (Up to 6 for the correct answer, up to 12 for cute, silly answers.) The judges have very small attention spans, so make sure entries are no more than 25 words, and please make just one guess per entry. You must sign your entry with a nickname, screen name, fake name, or even real name, but sign it! If it’s not signed, it’s not eligible.
You’ll be playing for the December 2021 issue of MAD, produced by the now, tiny (it’s down to two people!) LA MAD staff. In the December issue I wrote The Omenous with art by the wonderful Harry North, Esq. & The Clamityville Horror with art by the amazing Mort Drucker! Remember cute or clever wrong WTHII answers can win too! Please be sure to put ” WTHII” in the subject line so we can pick it out quickly. Good luck!
E-mail your entry to gizwizbiz@gmail.com by midnight (ET) October 31st 2021. By entering you agree this is a game for fun and laughs. Winning answers are published on this website the 1st or 2nd of November 2021, so come back to see if you won. Because like MAD, we’re really low budget here, we can only mail winning copies to United States addresses. Please don’t answer on this website; it won’t count. Good Luck! Winners outside the US can have a 38+ year old Alfred E. Neuman photo autographed to them, scanned and emailed to them. Again, sign your entry with something – initials, first name, last name, full name, fake name, screen name, something or it won’t count. We cut & paste the answers in a long list, so we need a name attached to it. Once again entries go to: gizwizbiz@gmail.com
So What The Heck Was The July/August “What The Heck Is It? Gadget?

Once again lots of people knew what it was. Or sort of what it was. We picked the 6 winning answers closest to what the WTHII gadget is. It’s the CanPump Fizz-Keeper, designed to keep canned drinks from going flat. It won’t work on a bottle, just a soda can. Pumping the top after you lock it on the can is supposed to add fizz to the remaining drink. Available in colors.
The winners are:
It is a top for an open soda can. You press the top to put air in the can to keep in the fizz. Tommy Grey
Fizz Keeper Can Pump. It repressurizes a can of soda. Keeps soda fresh for weeks. Brandon Hanke
It’s a closable can lid to keep an open soda can from losing its fizz. Sent from Pat’s iPhone
Device that fits on top a soda can. The green is a button that you press several times to pump out the air in the can. — PizzaGew,
The green top can be used to pump in some pressure to preserve the gizfizz. Dave Rivera
A lid for aluminum cans with pop top. Clamps top rim of can and you push lid down to latch and seal. Bob Guthrie
