I **DO NOT** recommend putting things in your mouth from China, for example "rainbow and fake blood" pills or other gags such as leds for your teeth

however things to put in your mouth make a great gift to others

^^^ can recommend, these are some seriously good mugs

drinking out of one rn tbh

a good buy

is it reliably leak-proof?

just throw it into the backpack and don't care

the lid i have for it is like a coffee cup lid. so there's no way to close that.

so it's more *at home*, bummer

Or you know, car

You can get a proper lid for 1$

Bottom one doesn't leak, and the magslider still does (just a little bit)

Are those the ones that are actually Yetis?

Yes

@timsandtoms yes but the logos are shopped out of the images

someone sell me on yeti cups they look so shit

Keep the temperature reasonably long, big sip, look ok

seriously though I'm kinda scared of chinkshit cups

@Deleted User yetis are fine

No cancer yet, only depression

cant wait for the eventual /csg/ I just got cancer

boititties

I'm the anon that messaged the seller and said they removed the branding on the thread and also posted a couple of pics they sent . I have yet to receive mine due to a local postal office issue, but they do seem nice.

Not that it matters, but probably all or most of your cups are made in China.

n-no mine were made at Starbucks that's why they have the logo right

Even the logo is made in China

a great gift for your gun-toting hunter murderers!

Oh shit what's this

are those santa hat good

or at least not completely paper

A flashlight that also has a laser pointer and an UV light (i can confirm the led it has emits UV rays, via the interaction with glow in the dark stuff and a novelty keychain i have that changes its color with the UV rays). It uses a single AA battery, which is "rare" with laser pointers.

You can play with your cat with the laser, buy two and have secret messages with someone, or just have it as a fun back-up light

Also that was an affilate link before you edited it

Ali sure has some weird shenanigans with affiliate links

A simple and cheap USB tester/multimeter. Pretty functional for the price. If you care for your electronics, you might want one: check charging times to disconnect your devices, check the current battery capacity, check how much juice a cable or a device is using.... Stuff like that.

question: what's the csg obsession with flashlights and EEshit among all the small items chinks do best
as an autist with an engineering degree who collected this stuff obsessively as a kid, I barely ever use stuff like this now

its just target audience, some do keep up the hobby when they grow

you are in /g/ thread anyway if you think about it so~~
and as you know age on /g/ varies quite wildly so maybe some people are just in that age when they start collecting stuff too for later use and such

ah i see, i got my first job pretty late so i'm just sitting here buying nail clippers and shit

@miker Buy a Khlip instead. Worth.
