Takeaways

• 😀 The Ice Cream Canteen is a portable storage device that can keep ice cream cold in extreme heat, proving its worth after being tested in a 200° oven.
• 😀 Snacktiff is a unique snacking tool designed to help users eat without dirtying their fingers, especially useful for gamers or those working on computers. It's considered worth the investment despite its $15 price tag.
