That projector is hilarious how can they even sell that as a product
Because somebody bought it. And it costs 10 cents to make so why not.
@@jxchamb yeah that's why I never buy anything unless it has a great return policy
Even though you used the projector in your video, I think you should return it.
It's clearly junk and the store needs to get enough returns, that they won't even carry it.
@@frommatorav1it's basically a scam
It works better with a iPhone
I got that back scratcher as a white elephant gift. I actually use it for camping. It’s great for clearing the ground under tents and camp rugs but still small enough to pack away.
You paid 13 bucks for a cardboard box for the phone projector!!
Seeing Bailey is always such a treat. If you haven’t done so before it would be great if you did a dog product episode and let her review several things.
Yeah, Bailey the connoisseur. 😃
I would definitely luv to see a video with Bailey trying products out. 😊
I think I remember he did one long time ago with dog toys
The Projector!!!! 🤣🤣
i think the back scratcher is a small garden rake to reach under shrubs just rebranded
I agree had the same thing years ago for my garden
I was thinking the same thing!
That projector is sort of projector version of the Google Cardboard "VR" glasses
Best item in that pull was the dog bone simply for the joy it brought Bailey
Yeah, can't forget Bailey!
The ice cube tray technique is to roll it lengthwise into a tube shape with the ice cubes on the inside. Not the outside. Squeeze it and the ice falls out the end.
Well I need to see this! James, please do this one again!
I love that the back scratcher looks like a garden leaf rake. Massive coverage! 👍😁
That’s how meth heads would choose to take the lawn.
😂😂😂
It's actually a shrub rake with a shorter handle !
Great idea though !
I have a rake the same size. My rake just has a longer handle
Your SO damn observive!! And repeated his exact dialog too!!!
DERP
@@IceTTom You mean "observant", don't you, DERP?
Backscratcher looks like a kid’s play garden rake.
Use a clean toilet brush for a back scratcher! It's better than anything on the market.
When I saw the thumbnail I was trying to figure out why he was scratching his back with a child's rake.
You should go get a refund for that "projector". 😂
Best back scratcher is a new toilet brush. Just never use it for the toilet.
Oh my gosh! The thoughts that would go through my mind if I saw it by the living room chair! ???
My favorite back scratcher is a stainless steel spaghetti spoon. That also looks weird by the living room chair, but I keep mine on the night stand.
The most interesting thing I have ever found at TJ Nax was a men's Thong in the men's underwear section, with all of the other boxer shorts.
I snapped that right up, and the woman in the checkout lane was quite interested to look at the front of the box, then she made a comment of how the man was lacking in endowment.
0:20 0:20
Do you ever return items that are so bad that you don’t want to keep them?
I remember he keeps a lot of the stuff he buys in his garage
I never realised it’s called TJ maxx over there and TK Maxx here in the U.K. It has something to do with the time they first opened over here when we had a shop called TJ Hughes so they changed it to TK to avoid confusion. Every days a school day an all that
I forgot about TJ Hughes is that reason they opted for another name TK?
@@castleladpaza76 Same in oz.
That backscratcher cracks me up. I'm still using a bamboo one that I got at the dollar store. I think I'll stick with my $1.00 purchase.
I think my very first back scratcher decades ago was a bamboo model!
Those are great!
We got a bamboo one when we lived in the Western Pacific. Still the best. 20+ years later.
I had a shower speaker that made those weird deafening chimes at the beginning. I was always scared I'd wake up the neighbors.
My favourite is the bone, she looked so happy
If any of u r looking for white noise, Lectro Fan is legendary! Lifetime white noise user & after having to replace my different branded unit, I found this & it's tiny, has volume settings, can get very loud if u need it to & has different fan sounds & white noise. I actually prefer 1 of the fan sounds. It's a very clean sound, pleasant & I love it. Highly recommend. No weird interference either. 5 out of 5 stars for me.
I saw a projector like that nearby me and didn't buy it because I expected it to be about what you showed. I even thought when I saw it that I wish I could see you review it, so excited to see it included in this video!
Quite frankly, it's false advertising. I hope they are all returned.
That's pretty crazy to me too, because when I used to work at Walmart, I was shopping after work one day and I saw a projector on clearance for $15. An actual, working projector, not a cardboard box. It's 720p, and I knew it wasn't going to be a home theater type of experience, but for what I paid, it's more than serviceable for outside movie nights or whatever. How can you spend almost the same amount of money and get *this*
@@Rhodeygirl Not really false advertising. It does project an image. Doesn't claim to have any electronics inside. It's basically just mirrors reflecting what's on your screen. Which is why you need to turn it upside down. Only way for that to work through the lenses. Which is also what other projectors do, but better with other software and a light source to produce a better image.
This is basically what you get without all the other components of what we usually think of when we talk about a projector. But it's still technically a projector because it is a device that projects. Does it horribly, but does do what it's advertising.
I'd be returning that "projector" asap, lol
The back scratcher is a real rake for shrubs with a short handle lol the things they will do to sell things
Looked like a bunch of cheap garbage except for the dog bone. It was cute to see Bailey excited for the new toy.
I bought one of those back rakes couple years ago... it's THE BEST scratcher I've ever used.
Lol got that back scratcher for a friend last year as a gag gift cause they liked their back scratchers lol
Save your money and buy a toilet brush for $1 at a dollar store. You can't imagine how well the bristles feel on an itch!
That projector feels like a scam. Hope you got your money back for it.
I use a long shoe horn as a back scratcher. Works a treat. Cost me £2
And that one on the video looks unnecessarily big and clunky!
Ikea’s shoe horn, multi-use. One for every room lol!
A clean toilet brush is the best way to go! The long handle and firm bristles are perfect for that hard-to-reach area on your back.
@@kevinp8108 too bulky 😂
Cooking for 1. Food chopper NOT a dud, cueball 🤣
The back scratcher reminds me of the garden tools you get in the toy dept for toddlers. Laughing too hard at the projector.😂❤❤
For the round ice cube tray we ran the bottom of each tray under hot water for just a quick pass and they came right out.
Round?
@@HeyThatWeirdGuy Ditto.
Saw T.J. Maxx & this might be the fastest I ever clicked on one of your videos!😂
Saaaaaame 😅
Never been to a TJ Maxx but feels like a more expensive 5 Below
It's kind of like a nicer Ross but slightly below Marshall's
I found a large, soft side/mesh cat carrier that’s FAA approved at my local TJ for $17. On Amazon, there’s a very similar one with a sale price is $28 and “retail” of $40. I’d say I got a good deal.
FAA approved cat carrier?!
Hahaha ohh man 🤨
U take your cat on airplanes?
@@SpykersBmany people do.
@@brendandever8532 asking why? An FAA bag isn’t necessary unless you plan on flying with the cat, and then who travels with a cat n why would u? No it isn’t common.
@@SpykersB, a friend of mine moved from the U.S. to Spain last year with four of her cats. They traveled in the cabin in their carriers. Two friends of hers traveled too to help her with them.
I must get that back scratcher and light/ white noise maker
I initially bought the back scratcher as a joke but realized later that it's actually quite effective!
16:21 what insane timing…. My washer is draining right now and it sounds exactly the same as that! I was like “dang that’s a super clean water running sound…”😂😂😂
that speaker reminded me of the existence of weird LED light bulbs... Firework bulbs, kaleidoscope bulbs, galaxy bulbs, salt bulbs, fire bulbs... Might be a good idea to do a big light bulb haul see if they work as advertised!
James seems to be a connoisseur of ice makers
I went in one a while back to buy a can opener and found a can opener shaped like a pink pig. My kitchen is eclectic and it really doesn't have a theme but I do have pigs all over my kitchen (pot holders, bowls, timer, etc.) So to find what I was looking for shaped like a pig, well I just had to have it.
I also hit the food aisle everytime I go in one. Great selection of coffee and different kinds of snacks. Love T.J. Maxx!
Cool! World love to see that kitchen
I haven’t bought a cooking utensil -especially high end pots and pans-anywhere else in years. And if you’re lucky, fabulous deals on premium bedding.
I enjoy these 20 mins videos! 👏👏👏👏👏
Those "bladeless" fans are misleading. All they do is use a blower wheel in the bottom like your furnace at home uses.
This was truly a mixed bag lol. I just LOVE how you always get something for Bailey and share her enjoying it with us!! I look forward to seeing her now!! Love your channel!
Love this concept. My husband and I both put our phones down to watch which doesn't happen very often.
I had to go get the back scratcher. My mom loves a good one LOL> I cannot tell you how many she has, I have lost count but every time I buy her a new one she is happy. I am sure this one will make her day! Thank you for reviewing it. I would have never known there was one out there like it. =)
She has a back scratcher collection? That's awesome!
@@tamirundell8392 She does cause I keep buying her a ton of them LOL. (She loves them all.)
So update us...did she love it
@@Desecrator6 it's a Christmas gift. LOL
@@Valg5awe well hopefully you two have many more together... always enjoy the small things in life
Also you're supposed to 'crush' the Ice to make crushed ice. Smaller cubes freeze faster, and when ice freezes faster it becomes fragile and easier to break (like a Popsicle).
Thinking if you bent the crushed ice trays inwards it would come out better.
Bailey says hers is the best buy. Go get her another one!
Bailey❤
I actually have that rake on a long handle. I use it to rake between rows in my garden.
Rake back scratcher - perfect toy for my son!
I love seeing Bailey she is so cute and fun! Level headed and smart too
T.J. Maxx... A place you love as a adult and hate as a child.
I remember the old days when you used to get the Maxx to the minimum, minimum price.
Well you just enlightened me that we have their australian arm over here called T.K.Maxx. They say its not as cheap or good as the yank ones ,but still have some weird and cheap deals. Theres one not too far away, i'll go investigate.!
I wonder if a child's rake would be used as a back scratcher..
For $13 he wanted imax😂😅
I have a handy heater, been going strong for 2 years. Heats real good, surprised cause it's small.
Well good luck (to everyone) in finding identical items in your local TJ Max's (not likely)...But that's probably a good thing. 👍
Great reviews. Always good stuff to watch on your channel.
Love the video! I got that bone for my dog, after a couple weeks it got super sharp burrs and he cut his mouth so keep an eye on it after a couple weeks of chewing!
You should start a new segment, "Will it burn?" and that projector can be the first item.
Watching that phone projector had me laughing out loud harder than I had in a long time.
I had bought a smaller version of that silicone ice cube tray long ago . I had the same problem getting the Ice out but what made me stop using it was it quickly started to impart a funny taste like really old freezer burnt tastes but it was fresh ice. junk threw it out.
Lol that “projector” doesn’t need to go to the bone yard, it’s needs to go in the fire place
Awesome! I love TJ Maxx! Stay away from the food though lol
I freakin love freakin reviews lol
Is your T.J maxx the same as our uk T.K maxx ?
Gunna seem lame but, on my honeymoon with my wife, we spent a little over a week in Arizona, mostly in the flagstaff area. But we went to Vegas for one night, both our first time as well in Vegas. Coming into town we both wanted to get a shirt for when we walked the strip. And we stopped at that exact tj Maxx! I feel little cooler now lol
I have one of those cheap extender back scratchers, it’s shaped like a claw and works great.
Yep, that is a good one.
About 25 years ago I made one of those projectors, it even worked the same way, but with mine I had a one piece box with a paper thin lens I slipped over a 13' television. Moving it back and forth focused it....mine put out a solid 50 inches....it was bright provided it was dark. These days I use a real HD projector with a dedicated 150 inch screen and 7 channel surround. Football and gaming are fun🤣
The bladeless fan is something i bought similar from Walmart. It’s a light and fan with a diffuser. It’s wireless and rechargeable. It was like $13. Not very loud and I love it, perfect for my nightstand
The rake back-scratcher; it’s a back-scratcher built for us Centaurs! 😌
If you paid more than $1 for that projector box it was a ripoff lol
DUDE I loved this video!! I would love to see more TJ maxx, maybe Marshalls and Ross reviews too! It could be a series!!
That mini cuisinart slap chop is worth having just for garlic alone.
Love T.J. Maxx!
Great review. Bailey came out with the win on this one. The wag told it all.
I am going to have to buy the back scratcher. My nerve damage causes my back to itch a lot and that thing would be quick and easy. Love the light with all the functions too. Thanks for testing all of the products you do!!
I'm sure the back scratcher was originally a leaf rake for harder to reach landscaping spaces. What are we going to do with all of these damn little leaf rakes nobody wants?😎
Enjoyed your reviews. Want that white noise maker.
Bladeless fans are a bit of a con because promoting it as bladeless isn't true. They absolutely have blades, it's just that the fan is inside the base. I suspect unless you buy one of the full size floors (also, more expensive) they probably aren't very good. And you're right about it being loud (probably because it's made of cheap materials).
I bought a small out of curiosity. I found it very loud for the amount of air it moves.
I think the raider globe was the best thing on there
I have the back scratcher, my daughter got it for me about 2 years ago, I ❤ it.
😮 another store I never heard of. Keep shopping! 👍🏻🍻
I have the rake back scratcher. It does hurt, so I filed the edges down. Now it doesn't hurt, but still scratches my back.
Some interesting items.
Like the new beard growth, looking good!
Had that back scratcher for 2 years now it is absolutely my favorite scratcher I ever had!!
adorable waggy bailey!
Wondered if TJ Maxx was the same as TK Maxx here in the UK. Turns out it's the same company, just renamed to avoid confusion with another brand here. They sell all the same crap though 😂
1:11 Have you ever tried a telescopic backscratcher? They are *REALLY* useful, not only for reaching all places of your back you normally can’t reach, but it collapses to about the length of a pencil (around 7-8 inches) making it _VERY_ easily portable! And a bonus function if you keep one in your bag, it can be used to get things off the top shelves while grocery shopping (just extend it and use it kinda like a grabber) 🥳
You could’ve gotten that last little light speaker for $5 from 5 below, probably same audio quality but no alarm clock feature
How about Label Makers? I just bought a Nelko bluetooth label maker for $16 and it works great!
I'm content with any of the stories from these books you choose to do. 🖤
Yep! Those “crushed ice” things have been around for years and I bought mine through Zulily years ago! A Royal pain to get the cubes out but not nearly like the real crushed ice!!
Thank you! These videos are.helpful and entertaining.
OH BAILEY 😊
Have you tried pulling the silicon icecube tray? Silicon being flexible would let the rigid icecubes fall out.
Hey I've been looking for a device that will both heat and vibrate my eyeballs, thanks.
It looks like I'd be happy to use the rake on my skin. I want my back bright red to get all the itch.
