The only "problem" I have with that test is that after 32 YEARS of doing similar test and using his left hand, he might be a little too ambidextrous for it to be an accurate test.

one of the reasons why the core samplers used in geology and soil sampling work is because they're usually fairly thin in relation to their length, and that gives them the surface area they need to pull the soil (etc) out of the ground.

Idk what kind of “traditional ice cream scoop” you’re using, but that thumb press scoop would be way faster for me because the ice cream NEVER want to leave the scoop

[@AvaNightingale]

Traditional scoop is metal for the reason that warm water makes it cut through the ice cream easily and the warm scoop doesn't let the ice cream stick to itself nearly as much. There's a reason every ice cream shop uses them.

[@Paul2nis]

He owns of the best ice cream scoop on the market with a fluid inside the conductive metal which distributes the heat of your hand to the part holding the ice cream in seconds and making it fall off. Not even joking

[@mymusicacc5359]

Must be the olive oil

[@robertoochoa8422]

Thank god I'm not the only one who noticed it xD

[@cutienerdgirl]

I mean...just buy nail care items and apply a lot of olive oil like he shows.

[@Magdalena-gw4kj]

“If you’re wondering. Extra virgin olive oil”. Thank you. I was wondering lol

Plot twist: he was left handed the whole time

[@ft.Pluvi0phile]

His hands look manicured in the thumbnail

[@v5d9k1]

Probably all the extra virgin olive oil keeps his hands and nails quite mosturised and healthy.

[@standardoilofnewjersey4260]

That's why its called the thumbnail.

I missed Dan. Please, bring him back more often, I'm almost 100% sure there are enough gadgets out there in the world to do that.

What if the first gadget was supposed to work like a ice cream syringe? 🤔

[@sachIn-hw5kj]

Exactly I guess he was supposed to suck it by lifting the nozzle backup

[@kushalkotwal5101]

How do you do that without digging into the icecream

[@alonelychocolatebar1954]

The opening is too large to do that. You'd need to form vacuum pressure, and large openings like that, without a very powerful drawing force, won't create that pressure.

[@stitches1110]

Honestly the answers really simple, the ice cream just needed to be let to sit out for a bit, right out the freezer it was to hard for the “scoop” to get through it. I’ve seen similar “scoops” with more traditional handles work perfectly fine. It really was just to cold.

[@rickwilde8739]

I love this guy. His charm really shines in these videos of reviews. Not to mention very informative of the items in question

[@MorganUmbra]

the last one is one that I've had for ages, I found it most effective to drag it through the ice cream underhanded instead of trying to dig. it gets perfect balls that way because the ice cream winds itself into the shape. works for the clicky scoopers, and it was a popular technique when I worked at coldstone.

[@postingwhateveriwant4454]

I love this guy. More of him please.

my favourite part is the amount of ice cream being consumed. I've never seen him so excited to eat the food for the gadgets before XD

Thank you so mich for making this! Super helpful in deciding whether or not to get the items.

His sense of humor is awesome!

[@O2life]

He's a treasure, absolutely

[@mrmcspiff4014]

the first gadget had the button so you'd be able to push down on top of the plunger without touching the icecream with it, letting you get further down. the second gadget had the twist in the handle to allow air flow without slowing the plunger or getting stuck. Great video, and love your other ones too. The left handed test is very useful for pointing out flaws, and for relating issues some people have just trying to perform simple tasks. Thank you for your work

[@condrd1]

I love this chap due to his humour and professional insight. I would be very happy to test the wine gadgets (different video) with him.

[@stooge81]

I see what the problem is with the first item (plunger). He was trying it with organic ice cream. He needs an organic plunger to make it work. #duh

[@OryXity]

No the problem is him not understanding the first one is supposed to take a core sample from both cookies and ice cream to make an ice cream sandwich, the plunger then lets it out

Grocery stores aren't open where you are? Or is it another reason. (I added this part just because I myself can't go to the store by myself yet because I can't drive and don't have a job lol)

[@srinidhi5592]

Asuma Woods same situation. Usually we get it delivered to our house and the ice cream melts before it even reaches out front door.

[@tgrady2570]

It's so fascinating to see someone having fun, who shows very little emotion normally.
