On Video Quick Look at the Snap Capp:

last summer i spent several hours looking for products just like this one. in the end i found several, but also noted that the reviews for them were less than stellar.

your video demonstration answered the two most important questions for people looking for this type of product; does it leak and does it keep your soda fresh?

i do like added bonus of being able to keep bugs/insects out of a drink while outside. it only takes one experience with a bee or hornet in your soda to show you the value of "refreshment security".

a nice product used by my household's bureau of liquid refreshment is "the fizzkeeper" by jokari. its essentially a pump that you screw on top of a 2 liter bottle to aid in maintaining the freshness of soda by pressurizing the depleted area of the bottle with air. we have found that it serves us well in this capacity.

based on your review of the Snapp Capp i believe that it could be a benefit to my family. 3 of my kids are under 5 and a few drips of soda is nothing compared to what typically happens if we allow them to handle a soda can. and along those same lines, the need for freshness is a non-issue as the product is usually greedily consumed in less than half and hour. i also like that the Snapp Capp creates some space between the mouth and the sharp edges of the soda can opening (a concern for any parent).

i am really digging the broad spectrum of gadgets reviewed here, please keep up your outstanding work!

unfortunately, we rely on our diminishing brain power to remember our account and password information at my household. naturally, you can imagine how frustrating that can be at times.

i have been looking into a varitey of solutions for this problem. perhaps ewallet is the answer.
