    When the world is flipped upside down, EVERYTHING becomes a challenge!

     The UpsideDown Challenge Game was a big hit 2 years ago, so for spring/summer 2022 there's the OUTDOOR EDITION The UpsideDownChallenge Game. It takes you outside (or indoors too) for an all new set of challenges! With the included props, you’ll compete to do simple tasks like catching a ball, throwing a ball through rings, relay racing, and more! You’ll be shocked how difficult even the simplest tasks become when seen upside down. This new Vango game includes rings, cups, a ball, a pair of crazy upside down goggles + 20 fun challenges! It was $27.99 on Amazon on 4/4/22, but that price can changed at any time!

    Unique Gadgets From CES 2022 Will Ganss & I Showed On World News Now.

    This is a great idea, especially for people who get a lot of deliveries. Two Cameras, Zero Blindspots - The New Eufy Doorbell Dual.

    While the Eufy Video Doorbell Dual's frontward-facing camera focuses on the courier, its downward-facing camera sees your package. And you can even move that second camera left or right for an almost unlimited view of your porch.  After the delivery, Video Doorbell Dual protects your parcels with package detection. Get notified if anyone approaches your package, so you can call someone you trust to pick it up. Price is expected to be about $260 which will include the necessary Eufy hub. It will be available next month, February, 2022.

    Some Really Unique Gadgets From CES 2022

    If you missed the spot on air, it's here on the ABC News website. (ABC may start with a :15 ad. I have nothing to do with that.) https://abcnews.go.com/WNN/video/unique-gadgets-82305607 

    Fast Way Possible To Brush Your Teeth - Y-Brush!

    Y-BRUSH has a new version of their very different tooth brush concept that reduces the time to brush your teeth from 2 minutes to just ten seconds! A flexible Y-shaped brush with 34,000 nylon filaments brushes the surface of all upper or lower teeth at the same time.  Y-brush and sonic vibrations destroys up to 30% more plaque according to the company.

    Here's more info from the company: What is Y-BRUSH? Developed in close collaboration with dentists, Y-Brush is the next generation electric toothbrush able to brush teeth effectively in only 10 seconds. A simple concept to explain, but which required close to 5 years of research and development (R&D). Y-Brush is the only product on the market to use nylon bristles rather than silicone strips, ensuring a better effectiveness to a correctly used regular toothbrush. Price about $150.00 Release in the US expected to be Summer 2022.

    One Of the Most Off-Beat Gadgets I Learned About At CES 2022.

    Samsung has been very focused on being "green". This is the latest in their TV remotes. 

    It's the SAMSUNG ECO REMOTE

    At CES last year Samsung introduced the Eco Remote with a solar panel that charges the remote with room lighting. A new model coming can also charge the remove via energy picked up wirelessly from devices like the TV or router! I have no idea how much energy your router or TV puts out, but it would be great to get some use of it. Will be available on certain new high end Samsung TV's.

    This remote will only be available with some high end Samsung TV's. It's not clear if they will offer this remote as an option for other Samsung TV's.
