Do These VIRAL TikTok Life Hacks Work?

in today's video we're going to be testing a plethora of viral tick tocks [Music] man tick tock is getting crazy people are doing wild stuff on tick tock and sometimes people send us those videos or we find them on our own and kind of delicious though i mean i'm looking forward to testing at least one of these today probably just one uh we've got four tick tock trends i don't know how much they're trends and how much they're just one person did them but they did pretty well or people thought they were cool so we want to test and see how real they are all of them seem like maybe they're real but also maybe someone's faking it for internet points here's the basic idea previously we tested out tick-tock viral videos so this is our second take to put tick-tock to the test well we've got potato chips first up and guys maybe you've already seen this the idea is that you can take potato chips cook them in boiling water smash them down and turn them into proper mashed potatoes something that tastes and feels like mashed potatoes i feel like this is something i can't mess up there's very little room for air let's i guess we're gonna find out so we've got classic and sour cream onion because i wanted to know if you could do like pre-seasoned mashed potatoes oh we should have a barbecue i think if this works then maybe someday i'll try barbecue but sour cream and onion just seems like a more traditional mashed potatoes flavor yeah okay so according to this tik tok video you need to boil water and then just pour your chips into the boiling water so we have boiling water we have chips i think it is time one thing i did want to test is it shows just pouring all the chips in and then you cook for a bit and then you like pour the extra water off and then you mash it up i want to see what happens if we crush the chips so with this ones we're gonna pour sour cream and onion powder yeah like powder into the water and this one we're gonna do the whole chips one two three you're doing great potato chips i kind of want to stop about there i didn't pour all of mine in but i think i got like 75 percent okay now you just gotta moisten them up so so far we've added butter and a little bit of milk so how are we how are we doing on flavor it's bland it's potatoey honestly it tastes like i chewed up my potato chip already and spit it out into this pan okay this is the sour cream and onion i don't see how much flavor this has [Music] it has more but it's weak yeah i think that when we put it in the water a lot of the salt and flavor washes off and we kind of poured that down the drain okay i also added garlic salt and pepper to mine because despite being very flavorful chips they weren't very flavorful potatoes i wouldn't do this instead of mashed potatoes if i was doing an instead of actual mashed potatoes i have ways i'd prefer but this is food you're like oh man i need mashed potatoes for this meal and i don't have anything else but i do have a bag of spare potato chips do it and maybe this would be really good as a way to use stale potato chips oh you're soaking them in water i don't think them being stale can matter too much all right are you ready for our next one ready our next tick tock test shows that you can take some orange fanta add some toothpaste and it changes crazy changes colors either to green or to green and then blue what do you think is going to happen oh it's absolutely going to change this color you think so all right there's no doubt in my mind because tick tock always tells the truth 100 it has to turn in colors all right so there's definitely chemicals in uh orange soda and toothpaste that will combine to turn not just like colors but like bright almost luminescent it's gonna be crazy ready whoa oh no i just mopped these fours it's not at the floors yet quickly quickly so we lost that much of our soda now technically in the tick tocks they put the lid on and then they gave it a shake it's happening it's changing crazy colors look at that glow oh [Applause] it's exactly the same nothing changing it's still orange and we built up more pressure from our shaking so yeah we got some blue green toothpaste on the bottom of our orange soda bottle there other than that no color change whatsoever in the next video we have what we are told is nitric acid being poured over a couple of pennies it almost instantly turns this super bright green color and then it starts producing a brownish purplish smoke once the reaction is over we've got a bright vibrant blue color left it's happening look at the color like this where it's contacting the pink that is like highlighter green oh oh and the smoke time to back away back it up come on mark look at the color of that smoke that is crazy we're doing this outside in a very well ventilated area so we have a subtle breeze moving all of the smoke away don't do this indoors i think it turning blue means that it got through the copper layer and is now reacting with the zinc inside which is actually crazy so that gas coming off that orangey brown gas is nitrogen dioxide and the danger of it is that if you breathe it in it can combine with the moisture in your mouth throat lungs and turn back into nitric acid all right here is our final result literally insane that's like the prettiest it looks like windex yeah it's beautiful blue very cool that was so cool okay we got one last experiment let's go do it the fourth tick tock video we are testing out involves bug spray and headlights the idea is that you can spray bug spray onto the headlights and then it will wipe off clean when they're old and yellowed like this we weren't sure if it would work if they had faked it somehow but we looked into it more and it looks like it can work but we've also learned things that are sort of warnings the idea is that uh the deet the active ingredient in mosquito repellent will actually slightly melt the plastic in melting the plastic it sort of frees all of the buildup dirt and grime that's in there so you should be able to wipe it off uh on the channel chris fix which is all about car maintenance he recommended that rather than spraying it onto the plastic you spray it onto the paper towel because it can drip down and over time the deet will keep doing stuff and damage like the lower plastic or the bumper or even the paint on your car so what we're going to try doing is what he recommended which was to spray it onto the paper towel wipe it off see what result we get and then after 5 or 10 minutes we'll actually go in with some windex and wash it off all really well so that we don't have the deet continuing to melt the plastic there's our insect repellent which smells like summer time we sent a studio assistant to go pick it up and i had just said to get the off brand because that's the name of this stuff is off brand and he thought i just meant off-brand like not a regular brand bug spray made sense because i just wrote it down for him he was like what is what what off-brand are you talking about i got to say though this is uh does seem to be working look at this i know i was looking at the yellow crazy that is nasty all right so it's not perfect it hasn't returned to looking all the way new there's still a texture on the lights and maybe if i keep going i feel like that's weathering and just the plastic it could be yeah it could just be chips from rocks uh it could be hard water build up it could be any number of things but visually the difference between the two right now crazy that is a big difference so something that can happen sometimes is you just wipe down headlights and they look clean but then after they dry they go back to looking like their kind of dingy self that's not happening here we are literally changing the plastic material and melting it so it is going to be different it is going to look different and we're all the yellow that's on the paper towel is coming off of the lights yeah inside your palate to clean your headlights off we got a very real noticeable result grace uh just divided this one right in half and you can see this part is cleaner the whole thing has been windexed to get all the easy to remove outside exterior grime but this is the stuff that wasn't taken off with the insect repellent this is the side that was and the difference is real now i saw a discussion online about what you can do to make this permanent because apparently the the deet can leave it the plastic somewhat soft and after a couple days it can return to being cloudy that's one of the reasons we did a lot of the windexing to really get all the extra bug repellent off there are other people in the comments who talked about their preferred methods of how to make it last i think i saw something about using rain-x over it oh yeah you said it lasted a long time so there may be ways to make this work really well personally i would just recommend getting a headlight kit like they make kits specifically for cleaning them off they work really well and they last much longer but if it's sort of like man i just i really want my headlights to be better right now i have some bug spray like yeah it worked make sure you got some windex on hand also mashed potatoes worked but a little weird out of ten would you give that i'd give it like a six or seven i would give it a seven it passed like it passed its exam orange soda and toothpaste that's a hard zero out of ten absolutely it was just completely faked and the testing of it was also faked it does not work nitric acid and pennies 10 out of 10 man exactly real so rad nothing bad was faked or exaggerated definitely something that should be done in a highly ventilated area uh yes and generally speaking i would just say don't play with nitric acid it's just crazy and then the headlight cleaning like i said eight out of ten it was a seven out of ten it works you can you can even upgrade it a little bit past the just it does work uh but it's not not really the best like with the potatoes it's not the best way to get it done testing tick tock what do you think are there more that you want to see is this the kind of stuff you like do you have cool tick tocks you want to see us test let us know we would love to check them out hey guys if you like this kind of content make sure you check out one of the videos right here that
