What the heck was it?

Surprise, just one right answer!

They are called Corn CappR - designed to protect hands from hot corn on the cob.

Only Ronda Wilson got it right! Here's her email:

They are a set of corn holders for eating corn on the cob. Ronda Wilson

From the Giz Wiz: I bought mine at Until Gone, but when I check on 3/1/22 they were gone. But I see they're available on ebay.

WINNERS (Who live in the U.S.& I'll try to send to Canada) get the June 2022 issue of MAD. Even though MAD moved to LA in December 2017 I'm continuing the WTHII game and sending out MAD magazines to winners since so many people say they love to play it. Winners of MAD magazine are for US addresses only, although I have been able to send MAD magazine to some locations in Canada. If you win and live in the US or Canada, email me your full name & address and put MAD WINNER in the subject so I can pick it out easily. I'll autograph your MAD with your first name & my name unless you specify "Dick's name only". If you'd rather have one of those 38+ year old Alfred E. Neuman pictures, instead of the MAD magazine, put "SEND ALFRED PIC NOT MAD" in the subject line. Soon, they will be no more of those either. The remaining Alfred E pics were shipped to MAD in LA. If you won more than once using different names, please just ask for one MAD. If you live anywhere outside of the US & Canada email me with WINNER in the subject line and I'll autograph an Alfred E. Neuman photo to you, scan it & email it to you. You can print it out & no one should know the difference. (I've done it quite a few times already and people say the photo looks great.)

Here's The New Jan/Feb 2022 "What The Heck Is It?" Gadget!

Do you know 'what the heck it is'? To play, come up with the right answer, or make up a silly, or inventive answer that we find funny or clever that describes the gizmo shown. We give away up to 18 autographed copies of MAD Magazine. (Up to 6 for the correct answer, up to 12 for cute, silly answers.)  HERE'S A HELPFUL HINT --- THESE TWO ARE USED AT THE SAME TIME.  

You'll be playing for the April 2022 issue of MAD, produced by the now, tiny (it's down to two people!) LA MAD staff. Remember cute or clever wrong answers can win too! Please be sure to put " WTHII" in the subject line so we can pick it out quickly.

The judges have very small attention spans, so make sure entries are no more than 25 words, and please make just one guess per entry. You must sign your entry with a nickname, screen name, fake name, or even real name, but sign it! If it's not signed, it's not eligible. E-mail your entry to gizwizbiz@gmail.com by midnight (ET) February 28 2022. By entering you agree this is a game for fun and laughs. Winning answers are published on this website the 1st or 2nd of March 2022, so come back to see if you won. Because like MAD, we're really low budget here, we can only mail winning copies to United States & some Canada addresses. Please don't answer on this website; it won't count. Good Luck! Winners outside the US & Canada can have a now 40 year old Alfred E. Neuman photo autographed to them, scanned and emailed to them. Again, sign your entry with something or it won't count.

Here Are The Winners of the Nov/Dec "What The Heck Is It?' Game With The Correct Answer.

On the Sept/Oct game no one guessed the gadget, so I thought I'd make the Nov/Dec game easier. Well, I went way too far in the other direction. We got more right answers than ever before. So, under our rules, we picked six at random. Yes, indeed, that is a 'squirt ring'. Not only did so many people get it right, it seems at least half of them actually owned, or used one of them! Here are the six winners we picked:

That is a trick squirter ring. Dave Sjodin

It is the gag squirting ring. Jay

It is a deluxe water squirt ring Bill Chambers

Hey Dick, check out my new gold ring! *Squirt* Haw, Haw! You’re all wet. Bruce B.

Ring squirter - a fun gag if you are a professional clown or just want to be a real annoyance!

Sean Halloran

A squirting gag ring. Thierry D
