The STUPIDEST Things I Ever Bought on Amazon (that are actually genius 😮)

just cozying up with my electric blanket I share a lot of content sort of sharing what I think some of the best products on Amazon are which means that I have tested more things than the average bear I have found a lot of Duds but there are some things out there that I have bought while I was buying it I was like this may be the most stupid thing I've ever seen and then it turns out that I love it so today I thought I would just round some of those up we're going to start with the product that actually inspired this video I shared this product on Instagram and then the real randomly went viral and it's at I don't know how many views 10.5 million views these are shirt extenders this is like the equivalent of like Dickies that men used to I always think of that clip from Christmas Vacation I'm sort of tall I'm 5'9 I also am somebody who shamelessly loves my leggings but the problem is when you are tall and you love leggings there's a lot of tops that aren't quite long enough to give you the coverage that you want for your leggings this shirt extender essentially looks like the bottom of a button-up shirt so you can put it on underneath any top get a little bit of extra length to it what I also love is if you just kind of like the look of a buttoned up shirt with a sweater you can also just use it to layer underneath the sweater without the added bulk but with this you get the look of the shirt you get the extra length you want it's just the most ridiculous product but I'm not going to lie I wear it like once a week okay super cubes I love super cubes one of those things that you're like do I really need a special ice cube tray to freeze my soup apparently I did because I love it they come in different sizes so you can do it by like a cup or two cups or half a cup and this allows you to freeze soups broths stews in perfect little portions and then if you want and you could obviously store them in there but what I do then is I'll take the pre portions and I'll put them into like a bag to store them I love this because we eat a lot of soup in my family and I almost will always double the recipe to freeze it because who doesn't love a good freezer meal I also lately have been making a lot of my own broths and obviously if I'm going to take the time to make broth I'm going to make enough for more than just one time and then just store them all in a bag and grab them as I need them I wrote down the word warming sheets and I have no idea what that means okay next up is this ice cream scoop and I feel like the internet's going to be mad about this this also went slightly viral on Instagram I saw this and I was like I got to know I got to try it it looks like a staple gun but it is an ice cream scoop you shove it down into the ice cream you turn it 180° you pull it up boom you have the perfect little scoop it's a square scoop which I can't decide if I love it or I hate it but I will say it is more effective than some other ice cream Scoops that I have used with the little like squeezy thing I don't know I honestly at the end of the day can't decide if I like absolutely love this or if I don't love it I'm still so torn on it okay this bag opener holder thing I've talked about this before I actually got it for free when I ordered the acrylic um organizers for my Ziploc bags I I'm going to be honest I got this thing and I was like what a stupid Contraption I don't know what possessed me to hang on to it I'm the kind of person that usually when I get like three random gadgets with other things I bought I just like immediately Chuck them this thing is so brilliant if you ever need to hold a bag open to pour things inside of it I do a lot of meal prep and I will meal prep in like my glass storage containers and stuff but some stuff is just easier to meal prep in a Ziploc bag and it is so amazing to have this contraption that holds the bag open when I'm trying to fill it I'm literally looking at my list of like things that I've like over the last like month or so been like writing down things as I think of them almost all of them say thing at the end I'm like bag opener holder thing the next one says foot Polish thing the foot Polish thing this is like a little egg I don't know why I'm calling it egg it's not it's like a little piece it is who cares there's not words it's got a top you take the top off and it's like these tiny little prickers I don't even know what the word is it's like a buff it's like a buffing like a nail buff or whatever and you use it to buff your feet as I'm saying this I'm not really sure how I'm going to show you b-roll for this cuz one I don't have that kind of feet that people really want to see on the internet and two even if I did have feet that I want to show on the internet I don't know that I really want to show the internet my feet it just Buffs away like all the dry grossness on your feet and you can literally see the dry skin like falling down which is gross and oddly satisfying oh my God this makes my feet so soft and on that note this isn't really like a random Gadget but I also bought these Spa socks that are gel lined socks that I put on after you put on right after you get out of the shower and you leave them on for like 20 minutes these make my feet so soft I use the little foot scrubby thing and I get in the shower and I wash my feet really well I put these on for 20 minutes and my feet are so happy okay next up is a meatball maker we do enjoy a good meatball in our house which feels like an inappropriate statement but it's not especially my children meatballs are like one of the few meat items that all three of my children will eat so we eat them a lot but it's not really fun to like individually roll 800 little meat balls but I saw this contraption I mean it's bizarre I mean you look at this and you're like this is some as Seen On TV one out of five star review kind of things but you know curiosity killed the cat and I had to try it put the top down pull it off and then you can pop out all of your perfectly made meatballs it looks sort of ridiculous but let me tell you it makes meatballs a lot faster than you would think and it's not that big of a pain in the butt to wash I just like spray it down and then it's dishwasher safe so you can put it into the dishwasher to clean it it takes less time than it does to preform all of those meatballs I'll tell you that much okay lamp warmers for candles I've been seeing these everywhere for probably like 2 years and I what's the point I don't get it like a lamp to warm just light the candle you know what I mean like I don't really understand but I ended up buying one and now I get it it is great for a couple reasons one you don't have to have a flame so in my office space I'm not supposed to light candles we're not supposed to have open Flames so I can still have a candle burning without it actually burning two if you have children it's kind of nice to be able to have your candle burning without an actual Open Flame or maybe you have pets that you have have to worry about and three it's actually really nice to have a candle burning without any smoke or residue so color me wrong on these lamp warmers they're actually a really great idea and super cute okay I'm going to share three products with you that have to do with food prep for children when you've got children especially when you've got multiple children you're prepping a lot of fruits and a lot of veggies all the time so I have three products that I have bought that when I saw them with my first and even with my second I was like that is silly what a waste of space in your kitchen now with my third I'm like Hallelujah make this faster for me I love it first one is my strawberry slicer this is just like a little square with like slices in it and you can just boom boom boom boom boom cut a bunch of strawberries all at once they're sliced they're done it is so fast they literally fill up the little cup and then you can pour them into your lunch box or whatever and you're done to my grape quarter oh my God I had been hand quartering grapes for like four and 1/ half years of my life before I bought this boom bam boom bam they're quartered not only are they quartered my 2-year-old well she's three now my three-year-old can quarter her own grapes now and then lastly are my little like knife scissors these look like um scissors but it's like a knife and a cutting board and I use this to cut literally everything my kids waffles my kids toast I use this thing to cut so many things into strips or into pieces I cannot tell you how often I use this product multiple times a day automatic can opener this is definitely one of those things that I was like do I really need my cans to automatically open themselves like I can't just open the can you know what I mean three cranks and you're done but one when something's an automatic can opener it's kind of nice that you can set the can opener to start opening something go back to the stove and work on it and then like come back and your can is open and two if weind to the previous point when I was talking about being a mom and having a baby that I'm constantly holding you can open a can with one hand if you have an automatic can opener you cannot if it's a regular can opener you need both hands I can still cook and hold a baby at the same time okay next up is this like t-shirt holder thing so the one I have I actually got from Etsy but you can buy these on Amazon as well it looks like a lot of like over the- door type hanger things but it has tubes that go vertically and so you can slide t-shirts into it I bought this just to kind of test out and see how it would work and it turns out to be one of the best ways to store t-shirts specifically if you are short on space or you don't have very good closets like we do in our home my husband's a big t-shirt guy has lots of different just like solid and graphic t-shirts and it is really nice when you roll a T-shirt and you slide it into here you can see them all at once so you're not digging through them and it takes up a very small amount of space either hanging on the back of a door or hanging in a closet all right my friends that does it for some kind of stupid Amazon gadgets that actually turned out to be really great as always thank you so much for stopping by and watching hope you're having a fantastic day remember to be kind to yourself and others and I will see you all in my next video
