Non-deliverable warranty? I'll never buy niche factory sealed kitchenware from the 80s ever again.

A new video by him always puts a smile on my face 😃

Eventually you’ll need to open an As Seen On TV Museum

Thanks for bringing back memories of Ronco! Mr Ron Popeil. Had all these cool gadgets. "Set it and forget it" was his popular phrase.
This also made me remember K-tel Records. Good times!

As a volunteer firefighter one of the first hacks I learned was that a CO2 Fire extinguisher nozzle fits over the average beverage can. When you press the trigger to “test” and make sure the extinguisher worked it would chill the can immediately! No bad on a hot day when you forgot the cooler and ice!

Would you be interested in testing an automatic ball thrower. Dog puts ball in the machine. It would be helpful there are a lot of different ones.

Love your humor as well as the memories mentioned by others. Sometimes we all need a little comic relief!

We bought one of these in the mid 70s, it worked but the glass didn't stay cold very long like it would from the freezer.

I’m a project engineer that specializes in freons you could use a safer charger can like R134a from auto store it’s the same as the R12 can from your kit or you can use a co2 can as well which would allow your unit to work and freeze the cup.

Air Duster cans would do the same thing as the Freon cans. And the chemical evaporates, so it wouldn't be toxic.

I agree with the other comments. Your Christmas story about your dad was well worth taking the time to watch the video. Also my family loves your videos as a matter of a fact we watch you on our bedroom TV every night. My wife is currently trying to catch up on watching all of your videos. We even bought one of your shirts the other day.

Nice touch with the flashback re-enactments. I love when you try new additions and bits to your reviews, whether they work or not.

[BB-gteg]

James, we love all the vintage product reviews you've been doing! Keep up the great work!!

[GDBAKED]

It just boggles my mind how people keep old stuff like this sealed up👍🏾👍🏾

[melissapeterson]

I like that you’re reviewing old relics. It’s a nice trip into the past.

3:00~ *That is (was) R12 refrigerant. $.90 per can in the 80s. The last (leftover) I sold in 2008 I got $28. per can on E bay.*

You could use a CO2 fire extinguisher. The carbon dioxide is super cold.

[AZDeathMetal]

Your editing skills consistently get better! Good work. 😁

My grandparents had one of these! Man i was hoping it had just a touch of juice left just to see it and relive my childhood for a min lol. Good video as always!

Geraldo and his Al Capone vaults special; that was as thoroughly silly As Seen on TV. (I watched the whole two hours on the edge of my seat)
