Got one as a gift for Christmas in the early 00’s.
It generally worked, but you needed to be pretty loud, and things could accidentally trigger it.
replies:
as popular as these were, I only think I ever saw one
but now that I am seeing that package, I don't think I ever realized that its the same packaging as Chia pets

Friends had one. They had a yappy dog. The light would turn off and on when th dog barked.
replies:
It was pretty useful until I had an argument with my mom and the lights would constantly turn off and on.
Loved my clapper. More reliable at turning the lights on and off than Google Home.
Yes but I stopped using it when I was a young'n. Turns out that the click CLICK of opening a soda or beer can registered as 2 claps. That stopped being amusing pretty quick.
I was sometimes able to get it to work by making a quick loud vocal sound.

Had? Still got mine!
I got one as a Christmas gag gift back around 2015-16 and had it hooked up to a lamp for awhile. Like what other folks have said, you had to be pretty loud with it, and I definitely had it trigger when I didn’t want it to. But still, it’s a fun gimmick. I must’ve lost it at some point during a move, because I lost it a few years ago and kinda wish I still had it
i feel like at this point it should be utterly trivial to mount a camera on the ceiling and be able to control things with gestures, like pointing at the computer with the thumb out and rotating the hand to raise and lower volume
the fact that nothing even remotely like this is available is why people don't think technology is fun any more

My grandfather was a gadget guy, so the year these came out everyone in the family got one. I used mine for a couple years with varying amounts of success.
Now we have clanckers that do the same, but with voice commands!

always wanted one of these things.
great for lamps that are otherwise a pain to get to to turn on/off.
Netflix and chill nightmare
No, but for some reason, I still clap to turn lights on or off.
No that was too bougie for us, but I did have a string that I had tied from my bed to the light switch. And honestly why did they take away our sticky outy light switches?
