Second reaction; they’re way too big to call “compact”, these are close to the size of a standard makeup mirror, which generally doesn’t have lighting and usually does have a stand with a swivel mount. (Which reminds me, I need to replace mine, but these won’t do that job as well as the one I had.) As makeup mirrors, they’d be somewhat useful, and at least big enough to be able to see both eyebrows and check that things are even. Now, if I actually did that more often, I still would not need two of them.
@sammydog01
Wow, yeah! Thanks.
I think because they’re called “Pop Sonic” I just assumed they were the size of Pop Sockets. And they do make a Pop Socket with a mirror in it.
@sammydog01 i can attest to this. Purchased these for the wife and daughter as a gift. When they opened them, they were like "where am i supposed to use this? " one went to goodwill. The other went in the camping bin. Having said that, they make a great mirror for being out in nature - nice size, battery operated, self contained so as not to break, and light weight.
First I thought they were pop sockets. They are not. Then I thought they were pocket size. They are not. Then I read they take three AAA batteries. What kind of a joke is this garbage?
So- I get the sarcasm on this site. Read the reviews “ after” I just got them. Do I want to see my face so close up now? No. But am happy I ordered them, and btw- they came with the batteries. Really solid product, and glad I didn’t listen to all the shit about them.
Pop Sonic? What did that hedgehog ever do to you?
I’ve seen me. No thanks.

Anyone actually thinking about ordering this, make sure to click on the link that says product photo for scale. These things are huge.

@Kyeh When I think of a compact I think of ladies powdering their noses in old movies. Something half this size.
@sammydog01 Oh, yes! Those have become highly collectible; some of them are beautiful.
I have a better joke
Knock knock?
Who’s there?

Does candyman appear if you say his name five times into these?
What happens if you say his name once into the 5x side?

@dannokun @macromeh That’s horrific. Take your star.
Are these mirrors any good for detecting vampires?
@phendrick
Only if you are one.
What am I looking at?
OH MY GOD THEY FOUND GLEN’S FAMILY!!!
@shahnm Is that Leeloo in the mirror?
@phendrick looks more like Medusa.
Mirror, mirror in the wall. Who’s the fairest of them all?
@tinamarie1974 But this is the “in my hand … in the land” model.
First I thought they were pop sockets. They are not. Then I thought they were pocket size. They are not. Then I read they take three AAA batteries. What kind of a joke is this garbage?
@AROAH
Well, it’s clearly not very punny.
Can I use the 5x side to start a fire?
You’re kidding, right?
I miss candy corn and cough drops!

Who’s Clarence? Did they mean Clancy?
@adavidw Dave’s not here.
@adavidw
The Clarence I recall is the pilot. Roger is the co-pilot. Victor is the flight engineer.
Yes, they got it wrong, Chief Wiggum is Clancy.
Why is this minimally useful stuff still so expensive?
Did you typo two for a dollar?
