(posting here because the comments are closed... I wonder why) I love how this entire thread has a rating of -173 due to downvotes (at the bottom) yet somehow has a 8022 "points" and is in the top 1% of threads.

Beware of these cheap devices. Most of them lie about their ratings and capabilities. I bought three different similar units for a project. All three of them claimed to be "surge suppressors" but not a single one of them contained any surge suppressing circuitry. Their USB ports also did not output the advertised current.

Chill Thrill: The No-Touch, Top-Notch Ice Block Shock

Review: "I absolutely loved this ice tray! You fill it up to the max line and toss it in the freezer! No worries of spilling water all over the place! Loved this aspect! Don’t twist this one, just push it down on the straps on both sides, open the spout, then pull the straps and Wala! The ice tumbles out and no fingers touch them! Great design!" - Reviewer

amazon.com , Jen Report

Let's be real: some problems are so absurdly specific, they shouldn't even exist. Yet here we are, wrestling with stubborn jar lids, battling fitted sheets that refuse to stay put, and creating more mess while trying to chop a single vegetable. These solutions aren't just convenient; they're a rebellion against the universe's attempt to complicate our lives. Imagine a world where folding laundry doesn't feel like a punishment, where cooking doesn't require an engineering degree, and where cleaning doesn't make you want to throw in the (pristinely clean) towel.

 A Teaspoon Or Tablespoon? Just Slide To Decide

Review: "I use to struggle when baking because I would need to have a thousand different spoons for each ingredient, this little gadget has solved all my problems. Plus it has the added benefit that when you use a liquid substance, you can push the black part all the way towards the end and it acts like a scrapper. A great recommendation for the kitchen." - Maria Antonia Fajardo

As I measure out each ingredient, I put the measured amount into a small container - a 3oz plastic cup, one of those containers many single-serve products come in - and rinse the spoon. Eliminates the need for multiple measuring spoons, and it doesn't mean going out to buy one more gadget. The plastic cups, etc., get washed & reused.

Review: "This is a lifesaver! I’ve been looking for something like this for years. I always forget 10 minutes later if I actually took my medicine or just put it down. I’ve tried so many different ways, making marks on the bottle, making stickers, and other pill containers. None ever work. And pill containers are so bulky when I only need one pill." - Niki

Each of my medications comes in a foil sheet. Before starting a new sheet, I write the first letter of each day on the backing foil of each tablet/capsule so I can easily see if I've taken the required medication for the day

Unlock Comfort And Fit: Professional Boot & Shoe Stretch Spray For Perfectly Fitting Footwear

It was easy to use like just spray on the areas where you want to stretch and done! It doesn't smell funky or anything. It's so worth every penny and I'm glad I bought it.

A necessity since retailers definition of "wide width" gets narrower every year. I guess they're hoping to save on material.
