Let $N_{1,B}(n)$ denote the number of ones in the $B$-ary expansion of an integer $n$. Woods introduced the infinite product $P :=\prod_{n \geq 0} (\frac{2n+1}{2n+2})^{(-1)^{N_{1,2}(n)}}$ and Robbins proved that $P = 1/\sqrt{2}$. Related products were studied by several authors. We show that a trick for proving that $P^2 = 1/2$ (knowing that $P$ converges) can be extended to evaluating new products with (generalized) strongly $B$-multiplicative exponents. A simple example is $$ \prod_{n \geq 0} (\frac{Bn+1}{Bn+2})^{(-1)^{N_{1,B}(n)}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt B}. $$
