What’s going on, everyone? This week we’re bringing you five more of our favorite products, but to be completely honest, it was hard to pick only five. There’s just so many! Are you ready to dive in? Let’s go!

Disney, the "Star Wars" franchise's new intergalactic overlords, held its third annual "Force Friday" merchandising event. This time it was to hype up the upcoming "Rise of Skywalker" movie, "The Mandalorian" streaming series and the "Jedi: Fallen Order" video game.

What's up everybody? We're back with another edition of our five favorite promotional products we spotted in our travels! This week we're taking a look at mascots, cookware and more.
