A lot of his reasons for why he likes these items come off as very "old man yells at cloud," but I still thought this video was noteworthy for three reasons

Okay but the swiss army knife is good. My dad has had his swiss army knife for like 30 years at this point. My grandpa had one and an airport made him throw his out and he was so upset about it for days
That's the first thing I thought of when I saw it - great idea but I'd have it chucked out the next time I take a flight! I also kept forgetting I had my hand sanitiser in my hand luggage, so I stopped carrying it.
I carry hand sanitizer everywhere but I keep it in my purse or carry-on. I am STILL upset 9 years later when I had already passed through security on the way home from Fiji when they did an impromptu security check ON the runway. They took my hand sanitizer from me for no good reason! It was in my purse!
I am willing to make a very tiny concession about this. I did not know that people put peanut butter on apple slices until I was in my 20s. It sounded weird but after I tried it (at someone else’s insistence), I had to admit that it was pretty good.
I’m not saying that’s definitely true about peanut butter and hard boiled eggs, just that there’s a small possibility it’s not as weird as I automatically assumed that it is (let’s be real, it’s probably pretty weird).
That's interesting! I knew about peanut butter and apples when I was younger but it felt synonymous with peanut butter on celery. Here's one I suggest and people say it's weird when I suggest it but I've turned a few people. Cashews on pizza. There is a place in my hometown that puts them on and it's delicious! It adds a little crunch and you can either hide them under the cheese or put them on top to let them get well-cooked.
That sounds pretty good! I also thought that Chrissy Teigen about Meghan Markle's jam sounded good too (bread, cream cheese, bacon, strawberry jam), which makes me think I'm just open to bacon with various condiments!
I have this water bottle from The Black Poster Project, which is an organization that sets up displays of people who were lost to opioid addiction so people can visually see how many it affects. My brother passed due to fentanyl poisoning almost 3 years ago (his 25th birthday is today) so the organization is important to me.
I forgot to dump the water out of my BPP water bottle at the Dallas airport and the TSA wouldn't give it back. He was standing right next to a garbage can and I was like "can you just dump the water in there" and he was like "no, you have to go back through security". That took an hour and I would've missed my plane. I got teary-eyed and explained that the water bottle meant a lot to me (which sounds so fucking stupid in hindsight, it's a water bottle) but he didn't care.
No, that's not stupid at all, bb. It's human and that guy was an asshole because another officer would have probably dumped the water out and gave it back to you.

I try to be open minded in general but particularly about food. No matter how weird it might initially seem, it could be delicious!
