I Bought 15 Scam Ads from TikTok *SHOCKING RESULTS*

Introduction

Have you ever scrolled through TikTok and been enticed by an ad for a product that seems absolutely amazing? You order it, and when it arrives, it’s just not what you expected. That situation is the worst. To prevent you from experiencing that disappointment, I ordered every TikTok ad I saw in the last two weeks to test if they’re as good as they claim.

Fireball Wand

The first product is a wand that supposedly shoots fire. It came with some intriguing packaging, including a note from Albus Dumbledore. Initially skeptical, we set it up and found that it does, indeed, shoot small fireballs. Safety is crucial here, so if you decide to buy it, be cautious. Overall, the fireball wand was impressive and lived up to its claims.

Siri Harry Potter Spells

Next, we tested if you could use Siri to activate your flashlight with Harry Potter spells. Surprisingly, “Hey Siri, Lumos” turned on the flashlight and “Hey Siri, Nox” turned it off. This one definitely worked, making it fun for Harry Potter fans.

Fizz Keeper

We also tried the Fizz Keeper, which is supposed to keep soda from going flat. We tested it with an already-opened can of Chug Rug and a fresh one. After leaving them all day, the device managed to preserve the fizz in both cans.

Height Increasing Insoles

These insoles promise to increase your height by two inches. The box arrived damaged, but when we tested them, we found that they did make a noticeable difference. However, comfort was questionable when placed inside shoes. We further experimented by asking friends if they noticed any difference, and they did.

Glow-in-the-Dark Ceiling Balls

We then tested glow-in-the-dark ceiling balls. These are supposed to stick to the ceiling and drop down after some time. They worked to some extent but were inconsistent, likely depending on the type of paint on the ceiling.

Automatic Door Closer

This gadget is meant to automatically close the door. Setting it up, it functioned as advertised, closing the door all the way. However, if the door was opened too wide, the string snapped. So its usage is limited but effective.

Bird Feeder Camera

We also set up a high-tech bird feeder equipped with a camera and AI bird recognition software. Unfortunately, after five days, no birds landed on it, despite being filled with bird food.

Power Balance Band

The Power Balance band claims to improve your balance. After some before-and-after tests, it was evident that it was more of a mental placebo than an actual balance-improving device.

Back Cracker

Another product we tested was a back cracker. Inspired by viral TikTok videos, this device did manage to crack my back but nowhere near as dramatically as the sound effects in the videos.

TikTok Remote Control Page Turner

This is a ring that allows you to scroll through TikTok hands-free. After setting it up through Bluetooth, it worked as a page-turner but was found to be more useful for Kindle book readers.

Teeth Whitening Color Corrector

We tested a purple toothpaste-like substance called the v34 color corrector. After brushing with it for 30 seconds, it did manage to make the teeth visibly whiter, although the results appeared temporary.

Waterproof Socks

Next up were waterproof socks. Testing them by stepping into water, they passed the test leaving my foot completely dry inside—impressive!

Inkless Sticker Printer

An inkless sticker printer was our next gadget. It prints any image directly from your phone. While it worked fine, the image quality wasn’t stellar. However, it's useful for photo stickers or labels.

Bouncing Fidget Toy

The last product was a bouncing fidget toy. Contrary to viral videos showing it bouncing back when dropped from bridges, it didn’t perform anywhere near as claimed, rendering it an ordinary fidget toy.
