Fun but not for rough play.
Color: Orange
The ball contented our “golden” Jaxson for about 15 minutes. He then thought it was a regular ball and it’s just a little delicate for a big dog. I just wrote it off as a loss. Great idea but should be more durable.

My 50 pound goldendoodle absolutely loves this ball. It keeps a charge for a long time. It turns off When it’s not being used and we play with it every day.!

Good quality trash bags with reliable strength and pleasant scent
Size: 140 Count (Pack of 1), Size: 140 Count (Pack of 1)
I’ve been using these Glad ForceFlex Tall Kitchen Trash Bags (13 Gallon, Gain Lavender scent) for my regular household trash, and overall they’ve performed very well. The material feels strong and flexible, which helps prevent tearing when the bag gets full or when disposing of heavier items. One thing I appreciate is the ForceFlex design, which allows the bag to stretch instead of ripping when handling bulky waste. The drawstring closure is also sturdy and makes it easy to tie and carry the bag without worrying about leaks or spills. The Gain Lavender scent is noticeable but not overpowering. It helps reduce everyday trash odors, especially in the kitchen, which is a nice bonus for a busy household. In terms of capacity, the 13 gallon size fits standard kitchen trash cans perfectly, and the box lasts a good amount of time, making it practical for routine use. What I liked most: The strength and flexibility of the bags stand out. They hold up well even with heavier trash, and the scent adds a fresh touch without being overwhelming. What could be improved: While the scent is pleasant, those who prefer unscented bags may want another option. Also, depending on usage, the price may feel slightly higher than basic trash bags, but the durability helps justify it. Overall: These are dependable kitchen trash bags that combine durability, flexibility, and odor control. I would consider purchasing them again for everyday household use.

Surprisingly great—no more kitchen odors!
Size: 140 Count (Pack of 1)
I honestly didn't think I’d be this impressed by trash bags, but these have been a total game-changer for my kitchen. The Gain Lavender scent is subtle but does a great job of masking that typical "trash smell," and the bags themselves are super strong. The ForceFlex material actually lives up to the name—they stretch without ripping, so I don't have to worry about them breaking on the way to the bin. It sounds silly, but it’s made such a difference in keeping the kitchen cleaner and stress-free. Definitely worth the buy!
