You know, I’ve been doing this for a while—reviewing stuff on the internet—and I thought I’d seen it all. Then I got a box of green rubber in the mail, and I’m staring at it like, what am I supposed to do with this thing? It’s the Flexible Oil Funnel, Reusable Flex Funnels for Automotive Use, 14.7 x 6.7 Inch Spill-Free Oil Change Tools for Most Cars, Trucks, Motorcycles (Green), and the price tag is a baffling $8.99. I’m not even sure what I was expecting when I clicked “buy” on Amazon, but I definitely wasn’t expecting this... whatever this is.
I mean, the thing is floppy. Like, if a rubber chicken had a baby with a traffic cone, but also maybe a weird pasta? And it’s green. So that’s a choice. My first instinct was to try it in the car, but then I remembered—this is a review website, and I’m supposed to test it for the other use. The actual purpose? Probably not. So I’m standing in my kitchen, holding this 14.7-inch rubber... snake? And I’m thinking, “Is the North Face Funnel safe? I mean, the funnel part is kinda big, but the end is smaller, like a hose.” It’s the kind of question you ask yourself at 2 AM after too much caffeine and not enough common sense.
I gave it a shot. Because, you know, for science. I’ll spare you the details, but here’s the things I wish I knew the North Face Funnel: it’s flexible, yeah, but not that flexible. It’s like trying to push a garden hose through a keyhole—it just doesn’t work. And the texture? Oof. It’s got these ridges? Like a corrugated pipe? That’s a no from me, boss. The North Face Funnel under 8.99 price is tempting, but the experience is a whole different story. Honestly, the automotive rectal use aspect is a disaster. I had to get creative with the whole thing, and by creative, I mean I almost needed a trip to urgent care.
But here’s the kicker: it did work for the actual oil change? I think? I’m not sure, because I was so traumatized by the other attempt that I just threw it in the trash. Worth buying the North Face Funnel? Only if you’re a masochist with a spare afternoon. The North Face Funnel actual experience is a rollercoaster of regret and mild rubber-scented horror.
So if you’re wondering, can you use the North Face Funnel rectally? Technically, yes. Should you? Absolutely not. Unless you’re into that kind of thing, in which case, more power to you. But please, for the love of god, get the The North Face Funnel Amazon listing and read the reviews first. You’ll thank me later.
