GMM 2065: TikTok Made Us Buy It (Test)

Is it wise to take shopping advice from TikTok? – Let’s talk about that. (upbeat electronic music) Good Mythical Morning. – Now I wouldn’t call myself a sucker, but I’m on record saying that I’ve seen an ad for a new fast food item and then immediately put on pants and driven to get that item, right then. Yes, I done that. So when I discovered the TikTok Made Me Buy It hashtag I was like, I get it. Real people physically showing me why I should buy pink sparkly, nipple clips, amazing! You ever bought anything off of a TikTok review? – No, but I wanna hear more about these nipple clips. – Well, they fit – – Clips? – They’re pink and they clip – – Clip ’em off? – The nipples, and it’s just a – – Oh, you’re talking about nipple clamps. – Well, I call them, in the industry, we call them clips. – Okay. – Newbies call them clamps. You wanna see ’em? I got ’em on right now. – As long as it doesn’t cut ’em off. – Well, we’ve #Purchased some of the most intriguing #TikTokMadeMeBuyIt products and we’re gonna #TryEm to see if you should really #BuyEm. #It’sTimeFor will these products from TikTok really be more than stellar or will they be a sad surprise like the fate of dear Old Yeller? – All right, we’re gonna be testing products that have been popularized on TikTok and decide if they Tik-rock or Tik-flop. – And the first product that TikTok has made us buy is a miniature butane torch. And I don’t know why the crew is letting us, much less Link, operate this on our own, but it looks like it might be hey, hey, pretty special. – Look at that! – User SteveNe or StevenEAdams, we don’t know how you say that, shared this on TikTok, let’s take a look at the video. Good gracious! He’s burnin’ a hole in a can, it seems! – [Rhett] This is 23 bucks on Amazon. – I didn’t actually see a hole, but look what I found. – Hey! – You know? – You think you can get a hole in that Sprite can? – It is empty, he did not get an entire, I’m going to do it this way, so, for camera vantage point. – I suggest not holding it while you do it. – Whoa! – He doesn’t, okay. – Whoa! – Holy – – Of course I broke it. There we go. – Oh, God. – Come on. – Oh, God. – Whoa! D’you see that? – That was awesome. Oh, what is happening? – His didn’t do that! – How are you doing this? – There we go, there we go, there we go. Right on that I. Dotting your I’s and crossing your T’s. – [Rhett] Looka t the smoke coming out of the inside of the can. – I’m crossing the T. Yeah, it kinda stinks, too, don’t breathe it. Hold your breath. – Put your mouth right on it. – Hold my breath. – Nope! Man, I love it when you do that to cans. – I mean, what – – TikTok is awesome. – Is this from like, Tony Stark’s garage sale or something? Well, I’ve been looking for some, I’ve been looking for something to put in my kids’ stockings. So I think I found it. I think I’m using all the fuel. – Well, you know, that’s kind of the problem with these things is that you get one of these and then all you end up doing with it is just like, lighting candles, you know what I mean? Like every, I’ve known many a dad who had an overcharged lighter like this and like, what do you – – I think we need a refill. – Oh, refill, okay. – Lucas! Refilled. Oh, steak time. – Backyard barbecue. – Yeah, look at that. Tableside, tableside steak searing. – I’m gonna say that that, this – – That sound is disquieting. – That right there, that’s not supposed to happen. That happened with you, Lucas? – Yeah. – Oh, so you broke it. Good. They just don’t, this is the problem they don’t share on TikTok. – I think there’s a quality control issue with this particular lighter. – It seems like there is a, there is a flow situation. – The valve’s messed up or something. – So this is going to impact our Tik-rock or Tik-flop assessment. – Is that done enough for you? – Not really. – You never know until you cut through it to know how done it is. – Yeah. Maybe, maybe this is going to wow us. Yeah, do not eat that, nope, nope, nope. Nope, no, just ’cause you put something in my face doesn’t mean I’m going to eat it, that’s your weakness. – You know, it’s a cold day and you don’t want your Popsicle to be too cold. Why would you do this? What is the, what are we doing? What are we experimenting with? It is pretty cool though. See, but you want to get the fire going? There we go. – There’s not much practical use for this thing. I mean they say camping, kitchen ignition? – Kitchen ignition? – Yeah. – What like, for an insurance claim? – That’s what it says, it says widely used in kitchen ignition. – Oh, I might be able to catch the wood on fire, look. That’d be cool. You think I can get the wood inside of a Popsicle to catch on fire? – If you can make a fire inside of a Popsicle then that’s something that, you know, I would write home about. – Look, a candle. – I’ve been writing home lately. – See, it all comes back to just lighting a candle. – I mean, we got all these other ones, can I see if I can do some sort of a – – Well, you know what, it’s gonna be, it’s gonna take just as long as it took with me and you’re probably gonna run out of gas. – This is kind of a fail. – I just kind of think that this is just a little bit, like, overkill? It’s a little bit embarrassing if you break this out at a party, all you need is a match or just a little Bic lighter, you don’t need this, why would you even need this? – It looks good, but, I mean, freaking one out of six Popsicles don’t lie. – It’s not a torch. – The Mini-Torch Tik-flops. – Tik-flops! (upbeat electronic music) – Few things are as unsettling as taking a camping crap, especially the find a rock and pop a squat type, you know what I’m talkin’ about? – I got some experience there. – I mean, sure, hand sanitizer is sanitizing, but soap is reassuring. So what are TikTokers swearing by? Paper soap sheets! Roll this clip from user MinaPop. – Amazon find, it’s pocket sized paper soap. All you do is put one in your hand and add water and it turns into soap. It smells super good, and it’s great for traveling. I keep one in my purse and car and I can’t wait to use them. – Is that Pam from “the Office”? – Yes, it’s a very Pam-like voiceover, you’re exactly right. – Is she doing TikTok now? – I was trying to figure out what it was and you nailed it. I was like, who is that? – These are, first of all, they’re cute. – It’s $11 for 600 of these sheets. – Now a clean freak like you should be really excited and I’m not even a clean freak and I’m still excited. You just pop it open and then you just use it and then you’re done with it when your hands are clean. – All right, so we got some water. – Oh, we have separate waters. – Separate waters. – We’ve requested to not share waters anymore. – So I guess you’d just, you know, it’s like, like this were a sink and then, oh, it just completely dissolves. I mean, look at that. I mean, I’ve just got soap on my hands. I’m just a guy with soap on my hands. I’m just the guy who’s washing his hands with soap. And where did the soap came from? This little bear! – I can still see mine, but then how much lather is there? – How much lather, I’m interested in the lather quality? I think it’s actually got, I think it’s got good lather quality. – That’s what, that’s the real test of a good soap, man. You don’t want, you want to feel like that this, that the suds are whisking away all of the nasty. – Yeah, but what about – – And I will say that the lather is not to my liking. It is very – – Well double up, son! – Oily, all right. So then it’s $11 for 300. – I think the real test is can you do it with your own saliva? Because you’re not always going to have access to water, especially in the end times. – I mean, do you have saliva? – Water is going to be such a commodity, now I’m not gonna lick this – – Two of these is better. – I did want to use this as a breath strip, but I know how YouTube works and then the moment I do that, then everybody just loses their, and I can’t even say that, either! – After all these years you’re frustrated. – So, I’m going to turn away from the camera and spit on this. – Oh, because that’s offensive? But I’m gonna look right at it. – That was generous and bubbly. – I can make a lot of spit real fast. – Dude, you’re – – It’s one of the things I’m known for. – Your spit is already soapy. – Yeah, I can make a lot of spit real fast. Oh, god, this is so gross but so clean! Oh, we got a groan from Stevie. – I don’t know that that’s clean. – [Stevie] I’m like, actively gagging back here with what you’ve done, ew! And then now you’re smelling it? – No, it doesn’t smell like spit, it’s, and listen, I can’t dip into the water. It smells like clean! – Fine, please. Please, dip into the water. – I’m gonna come over and shake your hand, Stevie. – No, freak – – It’s what grandmas do all the time, I mean, the licking and the wiping! That’s something that’s happened my entire adolescence. – It doesn’t smell like spit, it smells exactly like soap. – We also have this alternative called Adventure Wipe so we’re coming for TikTok with these, not a sponsor. Perfect for adventure, ten eco-friendly compressed wipes. – This is super exciting. – How do you do this? – Well, I’ve already got one open if you want one. You just take one, again, don’t put it in your mouth. Just drop it in the water. – I did! – And look, immediately – – So, it’s a tablet. – This thing just, as soon as it’s hydrated the thing becomes a paper freakin’ towel. – Oh, this is a – – It becomes a Wet Wipe. – This is an airplane towel, man, isn’t it? – But where do you get the water from, again, I can probably use my spit. I’m gonna – – You’re gonna spit on a tablet? – I’m gonna turn away from the camera and deposit my saliva onto this tablet. – Smells weird. – Quit groaning, Stevie! – I’m gonna look at it, do it. I’m verifying that it is indeed Rhett’s spit that is coating – Ah, you made a little cupcake. – It looks, it does look like something from a fancy bakery, you know? – Put a candle on that! – It looks like, hi, can I have your smallest cake? – They’ll be linin’ up for miles once they realize how that’s made! – Oh, gosh, I’m gonna have to get the other side. No, no, you messed it up! You’re all grossed out and you’re all mad at me for doing this but in the end times, Mina’s gonna be coming to you to clean up your faces and your buttcracks and you’ll be thankful! – That’s a good question, can I just take one of these soap things and just put it on my moist crotch with no water? – Well – – And lather it up? – As long as you turn away from the camera. – I’m not gonna do it, I’ve got class. – Okay, spit’s not enough. – Let’s make a decision. – Not enough lather but I’m not, it has enough lather. – I’m very impressed with it, personally. – Not a super amount of lather but enough is what I’m saying. – And I’m even more impressed with these! I think these are both on team go for it. – Paper soap sheets and paper towel tablets, Tik-rocks. We wanted to remind you about some experimental chips that the mythical kitchen crew created that you can grab and taste for yourself. – Yes, Josh teamed up with MSCHF to create a potato chip so dangerous that it’s actually illegal. That’s because it’s flavored like the incredibly poisonous and potentially lethal blowfish known as Fugu. – Look at that, fugu poison blowfish flavored and then it’s got Josh’s picture on the back? – And Josh has got his picture on there! – You can go to Illegal Chips.com to grab a variety pack that also includes Horse and Casu Marzu, which is maggot cheese chips as well. Also be sure to check out the Mythical Kitchen video to see what Josh had to do to track down this rare and dangerous fish! – Get ’em. – Love it. – Okay, this next product has taken TikTok by storm but it might be more fashionable than it is functional, and it begs the question, if humans wear fake glasses as an accessory, why can’t our best friends? Brought to you by the Paw Wag Company, these are glasses for dogs, shared here by TikTok user SierraNicole10. – [Sierra] Meet Franklin. These are his glasses and this is his backyard. He likes to come out here and tan. – Franklin is owning that backyard, now we’ve got – – Brought our doggies in here. – I’ve got my dog Barbie. – And here we’ve got Jade and we’ve got Jazzy Jasper, peanut butter Jade! – These are for around $11 on the Paw Wag Company’s website – I wasn’t done saying his names. DJ Jazzy Jeff Probst. – It confuses him. – Yep, Jasper. – Okay, Barbara, you can do this. – Yeah, let’s see if – – Don’t embarrass the family. – I think Barbara’s will stay. That is awesome. Ope, she’s like nope, too. – Barbara, you looked so cool though, for a second! – I’m gonna try a little intellectual, you know, intellectual hipster, can you, for Jade here. How do I do this in a way that – – I think it’s gotta go… – Here we go. – Oh, yeah, there you go. – Jade, look it! – She just aged a number of years. – All right, and let’s try the love shades on Jazzy. – You gotta just leave these on. Oh, oh gosh. – Yes, look at the people! His is working, look! – And they’re staying! – Yes, he’s trying to get ’em off just by looking up. Good boy, good boy. You’re cool, you’re like Valentine. – Dogs don’t have – – Yeah, I guess they get used to them. – Barbara takes ’em off with her hands. – I mean, maybe if they knew we were taking Instagram photos it’d be different. – Are you embarrassed? – Like, if I get this out to take a selfie… – Why are you so embarrassed? – Will he know that this is like, for something? – Barbara, but the thing is, you look cooler than you’ve ever looked, don’t hide! – But, ah, I worked so hard on that, trying to do a little selfie action. Look, he’s just like – – Look at Barbara, what is she doing? She’s totally embarrassed! – She is! – She’s embarrassed! – She’s like, dad, you do this to me all the time. Come over here, babies. – All right, I think these are pretty cool. If you’ve got a dog like Franklin that’ll just sit there with ’em on, then I think this is, don’t drink my, okay, drink my water. I think this is a winner. I think I’d have to glue these or somehow secure these to Barbara’s head if you know, she was gonna wear ’em for a full day. – Forget about it. – I think these are cool, I just think you gotta get your dog to deal with ’em. – It requires training. – $13? – Hey, glasses for dogs Tik-rocks! – It’s a practice to stop and celebrate as often as you can and popping bubbly can be fun and dangerous, but after awhile, that can feel boring and not as dangerous as you want it to be, which is apparently why TikTok ads are selling us on the Apple Cider Blaster. It takes things up about a thousand notches with its ability to squirt cider into open mouths from up to 30 feet away. Let’s watch this bad boy in action thanks to TikToker NikkiRJensen. – Welcome back to another thing that TikTok made my buy. All right, guys, ready for this? What is this contraption, you ask? Well, I’m about to show you! Do you know what it is? – Now, it looks like fun to administer that to yourself, but you know what, there’s two of us for a reason. – You gonna thirst me? De-thirst me? Whoa, whoa, whoa, you’re not, what are you doin’? That’s not the right way to! Now it’s my turn to shine! So that seemed easy. – Hold it together, too, to make sure what happened to me doesn’t happen to you. – And then this is the trig? Three, two, one! There it goes! – Go back, further away! – Oh, I’m slippin’, somebody spilled some champagne, apple cider. See there it is! – It’s apple cider! Bring it to daddy. – Three, two! (crew laughing) 30, it says it’ll go 30 feet, how much does this thing cost? How much does it cost? $27. – Man, I’ve never had so much cider. – Here we go! Oh, gosh, I hit the wall. I didn’t mean to. – I’m gonna do. – It’s hard to understand what you’re saying when I’m drowning you in apple cider. – Okay, well, get ready buddy. – Oh, I’m not thirsty anymore. – Oh, I can’t see. – Yeah, I’m good, I’m good, I’m good. I’m good, man, I’m good. I’m good. – Oh, you want it filtered. – I’m good. – He likes his cider filtered. Hey, I had a lot of fun today. – We’re still good. You know what? Apple Cider Blaster, that’s pretty fun. I’m gonna say it Tik-rocks! – Tik-rocks! – Are you still good? – Yeah, but cider in the eyes… – That’s your chance to say the catchphrase! – We’re still good! – There you go, man! – Actually, my eyes hurt quite a bit. Uh, so, Tik-rocks include paper soap, paper towel tablets, glasses for dogs, and apple cider blasters.
