As we move toward summer, we tend to think about protecting ourselves from the sun. Time to start putting on sun screen, wearing beach hats — all in effort to make sure the kids don’t get burned. Griffen is taking a much more “sun friendly” approach with their release of the SmartTalk Solar BlueTooth Speakerphone for your car.
Turn Your Windshield Into a Power Plant
The Griffin SmartTalk Solar is a very smart idea. Basically, Griffin has taken a hands-free Bluetooth Speakerphone and slapped some solar panels on the back of it. Mount the device on your windshield with the included suction cup holder and you can talk away, with your eyes on the road and the sun as your battery.
Let’s Take a Quick Look at the Griffin SmartTalk Solar in Our Video Review -
One of the major areas of concern for parents is distracted driving. Any device that can keep people looking at the road and not at their phones is a winner in our book. In use, The SmartTalk Solar is very easy to use and does an excellent job of keeping your attention on the road.
After you initially pair the device with your phone, the SmartTalk automatically comes to life when it senses motion in your car and enters standby mode. A call comes in? Press the big button. Want to make a call? Press the big button and use the voice control dialing feature of your phone. End a call? Press the big button. Redial the last number? Press the big button…twice.
As you can see, Griffin has made it very simple to use the SmartTalk Solar so your eyes stay on the road and we all stay safer with less distracted driving.
The SmartTalk Solar Understands More Than One Person Can Be In a Car
One of our big frustrations when reviewing bluetooth devices is that they often only pair with one phone. As parents, we are often in situations where Mom or Dad might need to use the device, but it is paired to the wrong phone. Thankfully, the SmartTalk Solar has “MultiPoint Pairing” which allows you to have two phones paired with the device at the same time. Moms and Dads of the world rejoice!
DriveSafe, An Idea Every Parent Can Get Behind
The SmartTalk Solar is part of the Griffin DriveSafe line. DriveSafe products help you focus on driving by limiting distractions from your mobile devices. Griffin also has a DriveSafe app to help you know the law when it comes to handsfree devices. Law or no law, we believe that everyone in every state should keep their hands on the steering wheel and eyes on the road and the SmartTalk Solar allows you to do this.
Conclusion: The SmartTalk Solar Bluetooth HandsFree Speakerphone Gets The Job Done
Our test for a good Bluetooth Speakerphone is that it should have good sound quality, be easy to use and not distract your driving. The SmartTalk Solar passes this test with flying colors! The solar panels will save you money. The MultiPoint Pairing will save you from fighting with your spouse. Most importantly, the 1 Button Answer and Echo suppressing mic means you will actually use this handsfree speakerphone and that could save a life.

I sometimes wonder if potato chip companies aren’t all guided by a collusion of meat company executives in a brilliant attempt to subvert the ideas of vegetarianism and tempt the herbavorically inclined among us to the joys of being a carnivore.
A far fetched conspiracy theory?
Perhaps, but perusing the Walmart chip aisle lends credence to my claim. There’s Chicken Barbecue chips. Baby Back Rib Chips. The proverbial [your favorite cheese here] and bacon chips, and, I’d be remiss not to point out, some horribly mediocre attempt at making chips into a BLT.
At some point one has to wonder if God had wanted fried potatoes to taste like meat, he’d have made them, well, actually meat. Come to think of it, maybe those chip companies are secretly plotting to turn us carnivores against meat by designing crappy “meaty” potato chips.
Which brings me to curious case of Herr’s Sloppy Joe Potato Chips. The All-American staple of thriftiness, the Sloppy Joe technically contains meat. Technically, because underneath all that gloopy “stuff” the lunch lady served to you in the fourth grade, was, I’m told, the denatured proteins of something that either went “moo” or “cluck.” I can’t remember the last time I had a Sloppy Joe, but I’m sure it was sometime during my less epicurean days of meat consumption. I’m also quite convinced it may have involved copious amounts of a canned sauce that rhymes with “Damn This!” If there’s one thing I am positively certain of, though, it’s that said Sloppy Joe tasted damn good, as in “damn my future pretentious affinity for paninis and designer burgers, I want some good old American loose meat!”
Given my more recent excursions into the world of meat flavored chips, I didn’t have the highest hopes for these. Right out of the bag, the aroma seemed to promise the kind of mediocre onion powder and salt infused taste one expects from a chip of wacky flavor designs, although the first bite revealed a tomato paste like sweetness combined with an altogether “mmm” quality one only finds in Woochestireshire sauce. Instantly I’m hooked, suddenly recognized a certain spicy sweetness.
The chips themselves are much more oily than Lay’s chips, while the coating is positively dumped onto some chips. What ensues is a flavor and mouthfeel with the simple yet proven flavor notes of sweet, salty, acidic, and dare I say even a bit meaty, while also managing to convey the kind of sloppy and oily mess that a fourth grade fat camper can’t help but smile about. I especially liked the tomato powder element, and detected hints of cumin and some vaguely defined herb that probably works its way into any number of Sloppy Joe’s.
And the potato?
Hardly tasted it at all, but I’m not complaining. After all, I may not recall my last Sloppy Joe that clearly, but I’m pretty sure there wasn’t a potato thrown in there somewhere.
As a potato chip connoisseur, I’m a bit ashamed to admit how much I like these. There’s a great snackability element, and no pretentious “all natural” claims that hinder the enjoyment of a good junk food session parked in front of the NHL playoffs. Herr’s clearly put some thought into these, and judging by an ingredient list which features tamarind and Woochestireshire sauce, it’s apparent that the Pennsylvania-based snack company didn’t just dump a bunch of salt and dextrose on some oily chips.
A few minor complaints, including only being able to find these at Walmart and a less than optimal ridgy crunch, but nothing to the extent that would make me throw caution to the wind when plowing through an entire bag.
Healthy? Maybe not.
But considering this dastardly chip company’s collusion to subvert the influence of actual meat in my life, I might as well get my kicks where I can.

Item: Herr’s Sloppy Joe Potato Chips Price: $2.58 (on sale) Size: 10 ounces Purchased at: Walmart Rating: 8 out of 10 Pros: Defies reason by tasting like an actual Sloppy Joe. Enjoyable mix of sweet, salty, and spicy, with a zippidy-do-da tang of Woochestireshire sauce. Better than Lay’s BLT chips. Possibly better for you than an actual Sloppy Joe, provided you don’t eat the whole bag. Cons: Dastardly chip company collisions. Actually sloppy. More “ground turkey” sweetness than beefy richness. Only available at Walmart? Correctly pronouncing and spelling “Woochestireshire”
