ideaplay 4 e1468617463278

Every so often a product comes out that sounds in theory like a great idea but in practice it unfortunately falls short. Soundbars have been a staple ever since LCD TV’s replaced plasma TV’s. Why?

BBQ masters with nocturnal grilling tendencies will no longer need to juggle a flashlight in one hand while flipping burgers with the other if they use the Grillight Grilling Spatula. Made of restaurant grade stainless steel, this two-in-one meat flipper is also a flashlight too. It features a bright high powered LED in the handle

What do you get when you cross a sleeping bag, a “puffy” style coat and a blanket? My best guess would be a Rumpl.
