The "sand towel" is called a fouta in Tunisia, the shark tank people did not invented something new. They were used traditionnally in hammam bath. I used these towels in my house year round, i prefer them to regular towels. They are soft and they dry quickly and they take less space in your drawers and in the washing machine. You can use an XXL as a light blanket in summer.

The cup holder is basically a small plastic dog bowl you could buy from dollar tree lol

I'm thankful for these quick reviews for themed items because honestly they don't need to be so in depth if it's meant to just be sand free and a cup holder. Good stuff.

I bought one of those turkish towels from a vendor one time, and it didn't cost me $48. The shark tank towels are really nothing special as compared to other turkish towels. I use mine at a bath towel though. It doesn't feel like it, but it does a good job of drying you off, and it dries off fairly quickly itself. It is also supposed to get better the more you wash it though. As far as the cup holders, I kind of wish they were a little insulated. You're still surrounding a cold drink in hot sand, but I guess it's better than nothing.

The "Bluh-duh-luh-luh-luh" sound you make whenever you encounter something squishy or floppy is too funny! Great video as always!

I have one of those Turkish towels, and I LOVE it. It’s bigger and lighter, and sand doesn’t stick to it nearly as badly, and it dries faster. It’s also nice and light so you can put it on like a scarf if you’re baking in the sun. So far mine has lasted very well, (7 years or so) and it was cheaper than a regular towel when I bought it.

IDK how often you go to the beach, but trust me, after a full day that terry towel will be _full_ of sand. The other towel by default will be less sandy because it doesn't have the loops of a regular terry towel.

I think someone was really just looking for a reason to head to the beach 😉

I replaced my beach towels with Sand Cloud a few years ago. I live at the beach. The biggest win for me was not having any sand build up in the washer or dryer. I also keep baby powder in my beach bag. I hate putting on shoes with sand on my feet. The other stuff is ok, but the towels are worth it!

I would have liked to see you try to clean that bag cleaning ball to see how easy it is and if it actually will work again afterward.

I grew up 15 miles from the beach in so cal and I had NEVER heard of cornstarch or baby powder to help remove wet sand...how did I not know about this life hack :)

[superflyguy]

I cannot get over how easily the sand just came off the bath towel. As someone who grew up right on Lake Michigan, summers were lived at the beach. Sand was everywhere, esp the towel. It might have been that you let it dry both times before shaking out but I'm not sure. Being a kid I'd stay in rhe water until I was told we were going home so picking up the towel trying to dry off, there was sand everywhere.

[Ysylla]

The cup holders are a great Idea, I think I would also use them as a water bowl for the dog. I have never heard of baby powder for sand, we just brush it off and call it day. The sad ball is also a great Idea.

[kindredanastasia]

the sand cloud towel's best other feature is that it dries quickly and thoroughly, especially in humid conditions. They're also super compact and versatile for travel.
As others mentioned, this type of woven towel is called a fouta.

I’m sold on the sand ball and the cornstarch baby powder! Lol the sand ball will do great in my bag. I keep lots of snacks in there 😂

[OLdweeb]

The sand ball would've been better tested if it was washed off and re-used several times. It might be worthwhile if remains as effective on repeat uses. 🙂

[barackmycat]

If I`m thirsty at the beach I run to an air conditioned bar nearby and return when I`m ready. Don`t overdo that sun!

[The_Joy_Finder]

A whole episode about solving problems that don't exist. 🤣
Thanks for the fun day at the beach.

I've had this cool "Sand Off" mitt that I've been taking to the beach for years. My only complaint is that I wish it was refillable because it's otherwise made very nice!
