My comment was nothing to do with the number of stars.
It was the comment that implied the reviewer opening a bottle of bottled water with his or her remaining teeth. Hopefully intended by the reviewer as humourous. I thought it hilarious.
Thanks for clarification. I also hope it was intended as humorous, but you never know! Some people seem quite happy to use their teeth for things like that.

Why did you choose to highlight that particular review, William? The reviewer in question awarded the product three stars, but the surrounding reviews give it a rating of only one star.

Rubbish ⭐️ (13th September 2022)
Rubbish. Doesn't even grip the lid, never mind twist it.No use at all ⭐️ (9th September 2022)
Absolutely useless. Does no grip at all. More grip with a damp cloth! Complete waste of moneyok ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ (31st August 2022)
ok for opening the ice valley water bottles which are impossibly tight lidded. Saves me breaking what teeth i have left, but could be a tad sturdier as didnt get cap right the way off.Useless ⭐️ (29th January 2022)
So far, every time I have used this it has failed to open the jar or bottle and I've had to find something else to do the job. The design is so poor; a big rubber band would have more grip and be more effective.Rubbish ⭐️ (12th December 2021)
Rubbish, hard to fit onto lids and just does not work!

Each at £1.50, but with a Clubcard offer of any 2 for £2 until 31 December 2022.
Of the Tesco offers of "Any n for whatever cost" format, I have sometimes had the offer more than once in the same order.
So I am having a look through the items, perhaps to get 2, 4, 6, or whatever depending what I choose.
I quite accept that some of them might never get used, but I consider it best to have it available than think at some time "if only I had bought that duct tape when I saw it." 
For what sort of purposes could the various "Keep it handy" items be useful? Some are quite specific, but some seem more general in their potential applications.
I do remember many years ago when B&Q had lots of boxes of various things at 50p and a lady said that a lot get bought. However, we wondered how many ever got used and how many sat in a drawer and were never used.
However, I got a Tesco 26 Piece Multi-Purpose Tool Set for £6 some time ago and they are still £6, and I have used something from it several times for various things, including once using the cutters to cut some picture-hanging wire.

at the Tesco store that deliveries grocery orders to me and I saw this, which was not there when I found the vlogging kit.

As with the vlogging kit I was not aware of such products until I saw the above.
There is little information except what is on the picture of the box and I cannot make it all out on the 11 inch screen of this computer.
I am not "into" taking selfies and "no plans" (as the politicians say ) to do so.
But it does say "or video", so that is a different matter.
Also, it has "10 Static Colour Settings" so I am wondering if this is a sort of mini and led version of splotlights where one can put a colour gel filter in front.
So perhaps one can illuminate a scene one is videoing in one of various colours at a time.
A quick look on YouTube seems to have, thus far, some videos about ring lights, but I have not at this time found one about this specific product, and I have not yet watched any of them.
Has anyone here used a ring light and/or can ... um ... throw any light on the topic please?

]]>I have a vague memory of having one of them and knowing how to use it because I had had one before.
I cannot remember what were the designs, but I do remember a pale blue and a pale pink.
I migt remember a pale yellow. I do not remember a pale green. Though maybe there was green.
It would be interesting to know exactly how it was done, maybe green was not possible, so the artwork was designed to go with the colours that they had available to use.

]]>I remember that one was clear for one of acid/alkali and pink for the other.
So maybe the paper has been treated with dilute citric acid or something and the pens contain slightly alkaline titration solutions or something like that (or the other way round for acid/alkali) and drawing with the pen causes the colour to show.

I am wondering what it is about and how it works.
I wondered at first if it was like those 1950s "magic" painting books where one painted with water and various areas came up in various colours.
But there appear to be five pens or markers.
