Show #1840 Thursday July 15th 2021 Independent Show 319

Wow! We're in year 16 of The Giz Wiz Show! (The first Giz Wiz Show – called The Daily Giz Wiz back then – was February 20^th 2006!) If it wasn't for our loyal supporters, the Giz Wiz Show would be gone. If you'd like to support OMGchad & DickDe in our independent venture (we pay for everything ourselves, including travel) just click the Patreon link at the top of our show web page: http://www.gizwiz.tv/ 

We start with the Personal-cooling-and-heating-System!

First some stuff about this product from the web: Keep yourself cool under the heat of the summer sun with the Cooling Bottle and warm under the cold of the winter. Designed for portability, this hand-held device fits in most cup holders and runs on battery. The fan draws in air, circulates it around the Ice and sends cool air out. Whether you use it at an outdoor sporting event, the beach or just in the comfort of your own home, this device is indispensable when the weather heats up! Vacuum insulated, stainless steel double walled-chamber seals out ambient air to keep ice longer. For Cool-air: Add 2 Cups Ice Cubes(Max.) For Warm-air: Add 2~4 Air Activated Warmers. Runs all day and night on just 3AA batteries (Not Included). Tube is included

OMG, if you haven't watched this show yet, just watch my video. This was one of the most disappointing gadgets I ever used! I couldn't even get the air stream from this device to move the end of a paper towel. And it's so noisy. Take to the beach? You'll need to bring a cooler full of ice cubes.

This gadget could turn out to be the 'apple' of your eye. And your kitchen drawer.

If you love apples, but hate taking time to cut them into slices? Then you'll like (or even love!) the Prepworks by Progressive 16-Slice Thin Apple Slicer & Corer.

The company says: Quickly & easily slice & core apples into 16 even slices! This dishwasher safe Thin Apple Slicer & Corer will core & slice an entire apple with a simple push.--- Hmm, we had a different experience as you'll see on this week's show, but in the end we like this a lot. We also like the attached safety cover, which when used as a base, pushes the apple slices & the core clear of the blades. It's designed to protect fingers while in use & cover the blades when stored, which a nice safety feature. I paid $9.99 and it was still that price as of 7/16/21.

A Fun USPS Toy From The Sweet Suite Virtual Toy Event, July 14th, 2021

We love the great, invention vehicles from Kid Trax, and I think the brand new Post Office Truck and Post Office Tent will be a big hit!

Here's info via the company: The KidTrax Toys ride-on USPS Mail Delivery Truck makes snail mail cooler than ever with a kid-sized ride-on featuring a mail slot, an opening rear door, working headlights, a horn, real foot pedal acceleration and rubber traction strip tires for a smooth ride. It can go 2.5 mph in forward and reverse. There's even an FM radio and an MP3 player input so the mail driver can add some music to their trip. The mail carrier truck is recommended for kids ages 3-5 and has a 60 pound weight limit. The system includes a rechargeable 6 volt battery and AC charger. It also comes with a stand-up letter box and 3 pieces of stamped mail to make 'playing post office' even more fun. MSRP: $269, but it's on Amazon for $229.

Also new is the USPS Tent Toy. Kids can load up their trucks with important letters and packages at the USPS Post Office Tent. The this play tent features a roll-up front door, window, and rear dock loading door. Busy workers can either use the mail drop off feature on the outside of the tent to slide letters into the interior compartment or they can pass by the drive-up or walk-up delivery window to gather supplies for their daily drives. The tent is easy to assemble and includes a carrying case to simplify storage.

Chad's Cheap Corner theme for July as picked by our loyal Patreon members is Cheap Bike Gadgets!

Chad's 3rd Cheap Bike Gadget is The Keaplayee Bike Tail Light Bicycle Turn Signal with Horn. Amazon info: USB Rechargeable LED Bicycle Rear Light. Wireless Remote Control. 5 Light Mode Options. The remote controsl the bike tail light to send signals in 5 different modes by the 3 easy to use buttons on the wireless controller. Include turn right + high decibel speaker, turn left + high decibel speaker, red light always on, red light flashing and all flashing. Remote control mounts on handlebar, easy for cyclist to control during riding. The bike tail light with turn signal has 32 high light SMD LED lamp beads. 120 decibel alarm speaker for better security warning when you turn left/right. Help to get passerby and drivers' attention. Long Battery Life. 3 hours charging = 4 to 36 working hours duration. The Tail Light is built in rechargeable 900mAh lithium battery. Comes with a CHARGING CABLE that charges from your computer, power bank or any device with a USB port. Installs in seconds without tools.

And Chad's take: Chad liked this device, although he thought the 'horn' description was a little inaccurate. He said a driver would never hear it, but it was good to remind the biker that one of his signal lights is on. He also like the fact that it was easy to attach and take off. And finally, he thought it was a good deal for under $15.00.

Amazon: Under $15 as of 7/17/21 - that price can change at any time. https://amzn.to/2UmJ90r

Dick's Gadget Warehouse & How To Submit Your Video & Win An Autographed MAD Magazine.

Yes! Another 1st time gadget warehouse video submission! And it's about really high tech gadget from the past. Here's Paul's email:

Hello Dick and Chad,

I have been a loyal viewer since the Twit Cottage days. I'm submitting my first warehouse video of a device that I just can't throw away. It's been in my drawer since 2007. I have been meaning to record this video for a long time, but I had to purchase a new charging cable so that I could give you a proper tour of the device.

 Love the show, Paul  ---    Hiawassee (Hi-a-wah-see), GA

 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
We’d love to include your video in an upcoming Giz Wiz Show! Here's what we're looking for! Your home shot video – 2 to 3 minutes long, in any of the following categories:
I bought a piece of crap: Did you buy something you ended up hating? We won't get you a refund, but we might be able to give a platform to vent your disappointment. Remember, "family friendly" language applies.
-
I invented this! Did you invent something? (Or did a friend or relative invent something.) We can't market it for you, but we can help get the word out. Show us what it is, and how it works. Even if it's a prototype, you can get our (and the audience) reactions. No professional ads please.
-
My Gadget Warehouse: Okay, so you don't have a warehouse. It doesn't matter. Just tell us about your favorite old gadget(s). When and where you bought it, and why you're still hanging on to it.
-
My Favorite Gadget (favorite old, or favorite new): Show us what it is, tell us what it does and why you love, or loved it! It can be a new gadget you just bought too.
-
Post them on YouTube and send us the link! We'll do the rest. (Or possibly nothing, but that's unlikely.) Remember, videos should be just 2 to 3 minutes long! Low production value is fine, but we should be able to hear you and see you! If we select and show your video on The Giz Wiz you’ll earn a tiny amount of fame (hopefully). And if you live in the US, you'll also get an autographed 38+ year old Alfred E. Neuman picture and a MAD surprise (most likely the current issue of MAD.) But no matter where you live outside of US, I can autograph an Alfred E. Neuman photo to you, scan it & email you a high res copy if we show your video. Just print it out, frame it, or just hang it up and no one will know it's a copy. We've tested it out and fans say they look terrific! If you submitting warehouse videos for a second, third time, etc., you'll get the current issue of MAD as a thank you.

All show submissions go to mail@gizwiz.tv

Email of the week.

Subject: Bug Bite Thing

Rick Ankrum

(Giz Wiz: This is in response to us talking about fire ants on our last show.)

I thought fire ants bite, but I read they are in the wasp family and they really sting you. So this (The Bug Bite Thing) might help.

From The Giz Wiz: I bought this one on Amazon. It was $9.99. I haven't used it yet, but it's on standby!
