- This video is sponsored by Current. Stick around to the end to find
out how you could win $500. Hey, guy. Welcome to the third installment
of Instagram Buy/Try, where first I buy, and then, (elevator music)
well, I don't know, actually, I haven't thought about it yet. I know I've done this a couple
of times this year already, but these are some of my
favorite videos to make because I get so many weird ads. An egg toilet, a fire
escape, a literal car. At least it's more interesting than what I get on Twitter, like ketchup. It's hard to know exactly
what's happening here. Am I clicking on the ads
because they're so weird, or am I only getting these ads because I keep clicking on them? It's a real chicken or
the egg toilet conundrum. But let's not waste any more time here. I've got all sorts of
products to choose from. There's a few things
that you guys sent me, there's some stuff that I
just wanted to try myself, and then there's a few that
are just confusing, like this. (upbeat music) This is like gamer tape. What does it do? Okay, so they've got a whole
section on the science of it. Man, that's a lot of words. Minor cannabinoids? Are my hands gonna get high? I hope my mom doesn't find out. Okay, so it's basically CBD infused tape, which is not that crazy. I've used CBD lotion before. I guess I just wish this company was a little bit more popular. As it is, I kind of feel like I'm gonna be the one testing it for them. They have a YouTube channel. Their most recent video is in all caps, WE NEED TO BE BETTER,
so that's concerning. - [Woman] If hair is impeding
adherence of the tape, either trim or shave the area. - Hair in the way? Then shave your entire body. Well, I gotta try this out. Not to brag or anything, but I'm a bit of a pro gamer, or actually I was thinking
of Ninja, he's a pro gamer. I've been stuck at the
same rank on Rocket League for the past six years, with no signs of improvement whatsoever, so maybe the secret has just been to put tape all over my hands. Up next, we've got
something from hug_sleep. - [Male] This is
extraordinary on Shark Tank. - It is.
- Really soothing. - I love that shot. I've never been more
comfortable in my life. - [Woman] We're not getting a lot of hugs. This really is something
that hugs you back. - Interesting marketing tactic. They're really exploiting
all of the loneliness that has built up in people
over the past two years, and you can even put your feet out, at which point, all you've done is wrap a regular blanket around you. Oh no, it's called the Sleep Pod? I'm getting flash backs. You can wear it to bed,
you can wear it to read, you can even wear it as a dress. You bet your ass I'll be hitting
the club in one of these. Five stars, late for work again. Well, I lost my job this week,
so these things are perfect. I had to order more. I originally bought one to wear at night so brown recluses can't bite me. Oh my God. It's weird that protection from spiders isn't listed anywhere on the website, but I'm glad to know that that's a bonus. Can't wait to try. But the thing is like, I don't
wanna wear this in my bed. I want something that I
can lay on, or sit on, or recline in. Not that. And I just saw the perfect
thing, the Bean Bed. Well, actually, I didn't
technically get an ad for it. I saw this tweet,
someone talking about it, and then another tweet
of someone linking to it. Remember being a kid,
and the feeling you'd get when you jump into a giant beanbag? Our Bean Bed is that, but so much more. Only using the softest
fabric for the exterior and all orders come included with beans. Uh-oh, I'm getting hungry. Are the beans included? How much does the sleeve weigh? Yeah, this is looking a lot less legit the more I scroll down. So, they don't come pre-filled. You have to pack it yourself. Our patented bean technology means anyone can use our beds. Weight limit, absolutely not. Thanks to our patented XL bean technology, they sure do have a lot of patents. It's also suspiciously cheap. It's supposed to be bigger
than my love seat back there, and it's only $70. Also, these pictures
are all kind of blurry. I'm kind of having second thoughts, but I'll buy it anyway, because that's what this video is. So far, I've bought at least
one article of clothing in all of these videos, and
today we'll be continuing that by actually buying two. - [Narrator] As a kid,
Ben hated dress shirts. (electricity fizzling) As an adult, he despised them,
(electricity fizzling) for one simple reason. (electricity fizzling)
- They suck. - Damn it, I laughed at an ad. - [Narrator] And collar,
the comfortable super shirt that looks super cool. - All right, well, I wouldn't say I'm exactly in the
market for dress shirts. I only share this office
with one other coworker and it's my cat. The thing is she never
wears clothes at all, but now I have to dress up? That's not fair. Really, the only reason
I'm getting this is because I'm fascinated by this
stain repellent technology. It just repels so much. I have to put this to the test. I have to destroy this shirt. Clearly, at this point, I had
alerted the almighty algorithm that I have been interested
in expanding my wardrobe, because I've been getting
this ad for months. (upbeat music) Shoes that have laces but
the laces don't matter, because they just pop onto your foot. I am in love. I need this more than I needed that shirt, which actually isn't saying much, 'cause I did not need that shirt. The truth is I actually
tried to buy some of these a couple of months ago, but the kind I wanted
didn't go up to my size. So, I sent them an email
asking them if it ever would, and they replied very enthusiastically, "Oh my God, thank you so much, but no." So, I got these ones instead, and now I just hope that they work like they're supposed to. Otherwise, I'm gonna be pissed. So, this next thing, I'm not gonna buy this, because that would involve going down too much of a rabbit hole. You'll see why. They're called NuraBuds, and, on the surface, they just seem like regular old earbuds, right? - [Narrator] So-so isn't
enough, because you love music. - And now you can finally listen to it, but then they said this. - [Narrator] No other
earbuds sound like this, no other earbuds are priced like this. Get NuraBuds for five dollars a month. - Five dollars a month? So, am I subscribing to earbuds? Well, let's go to the website. Apparently, there is no
way to just buy these. You have to sign up for
something called NuraNow, which again just says
five dollars a month, and there's obviously
more to it than that. I still have a hundred questions. Let's go ahead and read more about it. Oh, that's it? It seems like there should
be more information, right? That's not just me? I feel like I'd be going
in way too blind here, so I went ahead and parsed
through the terms and conditions. So, it's not a rent to own
program, like some other things. It doesn't matter how
much money you give them, the earbuds will never be yours. In theory, you could give
them five bucks a month for the next 10 years, well over a thousand dollars, and you still wouldn't own the headphones. So, obviously, the first thing I thought, and you probably thought this too, was, well, what if I don't give 'em back? What if I cancel the subscription
as soon as they arrive? What are they gonna do? Hunt me down? They'll remotely deactivate them, and they'll keep billing you, and they might take legal action. All of which you've
agreed to by signing up. If they get stolen, you have to send them an official police report to get new ones, which will probably be refurbished. If you break them, you have to
pay them $20 to get new ones, which makes me think,
are these only worth $20? Am I paying the full price of these every four months in perpetuity
and I still don't own them? - [Narrator] You love music. - The only way doing it
like this makes sense is if you wanna try them
out first, low risk, right? You rent 'em for a couple of
months, you don't like 'em, you send 'em back at your own expense. But, if you do like them, since this is the only way to buy it, you just have to keep
paying for it forever. I feel like I'm going crazy, because I've never seen a
subscription model like this with a device. Yeah, a lot of stores will
give you the option to split up a big purchase
into multiple payments, so you can pay it off. But you wouldn't rent a TV,
you wouldn't download a car. Maybe I'm wrong about this. I don't know, I didn't try it out myself. If any of you guys have
experience with this, let me know, 'cause I'm curious. Nura has a good reputation, but there are some really bad reviews for this specific service, so I don't know what to think. But, anyway, let's go and
speed through these last two. I saw an ad for this sweatshirt and immediately knew I was
gonna buy it for Amanda. She loves the library. But, of course, if it's a present, now I have to worry about wrapping it. Luckily, I just saw this
ad by Sweetietop-hot, which is definitely the
title of a porn video, for a scissors emoji
Christmas gift wrapping paper, buy more, save more,
fairy emoji, fairy emoji. This shit's been on my wishlist for years. All right, well, I've
got everything ordered. Now, all I gotta do is wait
for it all to get here, which I'm sure it will. (elevator music) About that, so this wrapping paper thing, I bought it on November 12th. It has since gone from
China to the United States, where it's been sort
of just roaming around for the past three weeks
without any updates. I don't think I'm gonna get that. Luckily, I've narrowed it
down to being somewhere in the country, so I'll find it. And the Bean Bed, how do I put this? This product is not real. The Bean Bed is fake, and
I've been scammed again. So, what happened here? Well, apparently, there was
a furniture designer in 2011 who came up with the idea for this bed, which I'm starting to realize now is just a big blanket on top of a couch. Little did she know that, 10 years later, someone would find this unfortunately thorough photo shoot and use it to create a fake
website with a fake product that can only be bought using
real money, including mine. Luckily, their refund policy states that I can get my money back as
soon as I return the Bean Bed, which is gonna be hard to do, on account of it not existing. So, who's responsible for this? Well, mostly, it's my fault. When I make these videos, I tend to ignore all the red flags, because it's more fun that way. I also tend to rush through
the purchasing process, because I want the products
to arrive as soon as possible, so I can make the video. Had I done perhaps one second of research, I would have noticed that there was a single Twitter account in particular who was telling everyone on that post where they can buy the Bean Bed. No fucking way is right. Had I done two seconds of research, I would have noticed that
nearly every single one of her 200 tweets is a
link to the Bean Bed. Totally normal behavior for someone not financially
benefiting from this, wouldn't you say, Alyssa? If that is your real name. Actually, it might be. I think her account was hacked. Before disappearing for a month, her most recent tweet
borrows the same format as the original one we saw. Where can I get this? Only to link people to yet
another fictional product. When I realized what happened, I cried for three days and then I reported the Twitter account, and now I just hope, somehow,
this website gets taken down. 'Cause I saw a few other
people on the post say that they also tried to buy one. To be clear, yes, we
should have known better, but it's a pretty convincing
website, that first glance. Just let this serve as a reminder to you to always be careful what you buy online, because you might just
end up with nothing, or worse, a Moon Pod. Now, let's go review all
the other shit I bought. Since my fairy emoji paper
cutter never showed up, I was forced to wrap this
present the old fashioned way. In other words, it was
a complete disaster. Everything the website warned
me about was coming true. That cuts are comes out so jagged that it looks like there
was an earthquake happening while I was cutting it. My scissors kept breaking. I got tape all over me. In total, it took me about
three hours and 15 tries just to cut the paper to the right length. This truly is both
outdated and frustrating. When I was finally done, I nervously brought it over to my wife, who was so disgusted,
so utterly repulsed at my piss poor wrapping attempt, that she instantly left the
house and filed for a divorce. Ever since then, I've been spiraling out. My life is falling apart. So, let's try to stain this shirt. I forgot I bought two of 'em. Warning, keep this plastic bag away from babies and children. Do not use this bag in crib. But this is my son's favorite toy. (plastic crinkling) Wow, that's a shirt. What do they do on TikTok? (upbeat music)
♪ Now everybody look like- ♪ (upbeat music) Or something like that. I mean, I think it fits pretty good. It's nice and stretchy. It's hard to show that on
camera, but just trust me, okay? You can stretch it a little bit. All right, but let's cut the crap. What you guys really came
for were the stain tests. Oh, man, I'm so thirsty and weak. I don't think I can make it to my mouth. (upbeat music) Damn, that's kinda crazy. I'm making more of a mess in
my tub than I am on my shirt. You guys seeing this shit? Okay, it passed the Powerade check, but now I'm feeling kind of naughty. I think I accidentally spiked
my coffee with alcohol. Oh shit, where's my mouth? (coffee spilling)
(upbeat music) What the hell, man? I didn't really care that
much about the science for those CBD strips, I'm way more curious about
the science of this shirt. I guess it's just not
like a traditional fabric. There probably isn't any cotton in it. I think if it was a
more comfortable shirt, it would be impossible to
just repel liquids like this, but color me impressed, 'cause there's a lot
of colors on the floor. That would work better if
there were stains on my shirt, because then you could see the colors. Right now, I'm just standing
in a sticky pile of liquid. The only thing left to try now is I saw a video on their Instagram
of someone pouring water in the shirt pocket and then
drinking it out of there. So, bottoms up, (upbeat music) You guys can't see it, but there's a little puddle
of water in my pocket. This is brilliant. I could wear this to a movie theater and sneak my own drink in. (Drew slurping) (water spurting)
(Drew laughing) It's so weird. It doesn't get wet. I should be impressed, but
I'm kind of just freaked out. I guess I do have to wonder, how do you wash the shirt though if it doesn't absorb water? Isn't it just gonna repel all the water in the washing machine? This is what a washing machine looks like. Okay, I'm impressed. Somehow, none of this got on my shirt. That's actually pretty insane. (upbeat music) Finally, the easiest
shoes I'll ever put on. No tying, no pulling, no
heel crushing, no hands. But what about feet? I still have to use my feet, right? You're not gonna take
that from me, are you? (packaging crinkling) All right. (upbeat music) What do you think? (upbeat music) Ah, the first thing the
box says is no tying, and yet, here I am, tying. (upbeat music) Uh, they kind of work. I mean, I like the way they look. They feel like decent shoes. They're actually pretty
soft on the inside. I'm impressed with all of
the standard shoe properties that these shoes have, but I mostly bought them for the unique thing that was advertised, which is being able to
just step into them. Let me try that again. (upbeat music) Uh, okay, that one went pretty well. I don't know, what do you guys think? (feet tapping) I'll have to take these
on and off for a few days, wear 'em out on the town,
before I really can give my true opinion on them. Hi, boo boo. She wants to be on cameras so bad. I don't know. I'm gonna try popping them on again. Okay, I think the more you
do it, the easier it gets. (upbeat music)
(bell dinging) So, I always tend to lean
negative in these videos, because I know, if I say something nice, people are gonna assume
I'm secretly sponsored by the company. And it's like, sometimes
I just like stuff, not everything is an ad. I've been wearing these
shoes for a couple of weeks, and, honestly, I think they're great. They fit good, they're comfortable. I love that you can just pop 'em on. I mean, it's such an insignificant thing, but it's the little things in life. I would say the biggest negative is just that they're overpriced. They're kind of just like regular Vans, except you're spending twice as much because of the convenience, which, to me, is worth it, as long as I can get a
couple years out of them, 'cause then it's like,
that's a lot of convenience. In general, shoes have one of the highest price
ranges of any product. You can find pretty decent ones for $20, or, if you'd rather,
you can spend $20,000. Most of the time, they still
accomplish the same task. But the important thing
is my Instagram outfit is finally finished. Shirt, pants, shoes, and belt. This is the official wardrobe
of sponsored Instagram posts. This outfit was personally designed by none other than Mark Zuckerberg himself, and ever since doing so, he's carefully planted each element as its own individual advertisement to be dispersed at random. And now, just like Ariel's
underwater cave of garbage, my collection's complete. Also, I look like shit. Well, I'm just excited to tell
my gaming to the next level. (knife scoring) So, I ordered a thick roll
of tape and a thin one, one for my wrists and forearms, and then one for my little fingies. (bells chiming) (upbeat music) What the fuck is this? Did I open the wrong thing? They sent me Superpower
fortifying hair and scalp serum. This isn't my tape! Superpower serum helps
strengthen your follicles, promote growth, and provides
all round protection, so that you and your hair
feel ready to save the world every single day. This isn't what I bought. I gotta figure out what
the fuck is happening. I just wanted to check my
tracking number that they sent me. This is the package,
but this is what I got; two scalp serums. Originally, I ordered one
eight foot roll standard and one eight foot roll slim. These are both $20 each, so I spent 40 bucks on both of these. This scalp spray is apparently worth $47 and I got two of them. So, when you think about it, I actually turned a profit here. What the hell is going on? I feel like I'm cursed. I feel like I've accidentally uncovered some sort of money laundering scheme, or some underground drug ring, except, instead of cocaine, they're sending people hair juice. I'm just so confused. I did everything right, and this video is falling
apart before my eyes. I had one chance left to redeem
what had quickly turned into my most disastrous video to date. Its name, the Sleep Pod. This is great. After everything that's transpired, I could definitely use some sleep, and I could also use a hug, so let's see if this will provide both. Wow, remember when you were a kid, and you would have field day, and you would do the sack races? That's what this is, but you sleep in it. - Really soothing.
(soft music) Wouldn't you know it, I just
had the best sleep of my life. Thanks, hugs, Sleep Pod. Is it stylish? Yes. Is it comfortable? Yes. Is it exactly the same
thing as a regular blanket that you could just roll around in? Yes. Is it hugging me back? No. Is it changing my life? No. Is it worth $80? No. So, what did we learn today? I learned that I look really
great in a gray evening gown. I learned that there's roughly
a 50 percent success rate when it comes to random online purchases. I think I've also learned that the more I engage with
sponsored posts on Instagram, the more I buy things from there, the worse the ads start to get. Now, they're literally just
giving me ads for anything; a little keyboard brush from Smarthomee i. Sure, he'll buy that shit. This guy buys anything,
he's such an idiot. And you know what? Maybe I am an idiot, but at least I look cool as hell. And now, a word from today's sponsor. Today's video is sponsored by Current, who gave me $5,000 to give
away to whoever I wanted. And I just thought of the perfect prank. What if, instead, I just take that money and donate it to relief
funds for the tornadoes that just went through the
Midwest a couple of weeks ago? I could even match it
myself to make it $10,000. They'd be so confused. Well, it turns out they
actually liked that idea, so I don't think they felt very pranked, but then they gave me another $5,000 to give away to you guys. All you have to do to enter
is download the Current app using my link in the description
with my code, DREWHOLIDAY, and 10 people will be randomly chosen to win $500 each. It's free to sign up, so
don't even think about not. You can read more about

sponsoring today's video and giving back to all of my fans, 'cause I was never gonna do it. Hey, guess what just got here? My wrapping paper cutter. (paper ripping) I got it. Christmas is over though, so guess I'll use it next year. Thanks for watching, bye.
