Looking for Amazon shopping tips? With so many options available, from home essentials to to trendy gadgets, making a decision can be overwhelming. It’s especially challenging when you’re unsure if a product will perform as advertised.

That's why YouTuber Ryan Trahan decided to test some of quirkiest Amazon items he could find, including a fart neutralizer and a steering-wheel food tray, to determine whether they actually live up to their manufacturer's claims.

I Tested the Weirdest Amazon Items


Aside for making content for his YouTube channel, Trahan claims that he was on the hunt to find the weirdest birthday gift for his friend. Watch (and laugh) as he tests a bird feeder, a mini donut maker, a tiny smoothie blender, and a gaggle of other odd bits and bobs from Amazon.
