Fast Five: Cool Gizmos You Can Buy at CD-R King (2016 Edition)

Every Juan knows CD-R King and its plethora of gadgets and accessories offered at prices lower than that of other brands, oftentimes dubbed as the ‘Mecca of anything made a lot cheaper’. In this Fast Five edition, we take a look at some of those cool things you can buy at the big yellow store.

We made a list of this in 2014, and we ought to update what was initially a pool of ten cool gadgets you can purchase. Looking back at how CD-R King has evolved, what was then a retailer of CDs back in the day aggressively increased its offerings throughout the years and now spans onto home living items, transportation vehicles, mobile devices, and even ready-to-wear clothes. No kidding. Items are listed in no particular order. Fast Five posts ain’t sponsored, yo.

A cheaper Crank USB Charger
