Everyday Things You Have Been Using Wrong

that's worse presents every day things you've been cusing wrong two-toned erasers that two-toned eraser hiding in your drawer was not produced because the colors happen to be the manufacturers favorites two-tone erasers usually come in blue and pink and each end has a different purpose the smooth pink works best with erasing pencil marks while the gritty blue works well with the racing ink note however that the blue end works only if the ink used is erasable using it on permanent ink will just rub a hole in your paper bobby pins for some reason the most common way bobby pins are used is with the wavy side up the wavy sides actually meant to create a bit of traction so that it will hold the hair strands in place this works better for straight shiny hair and the next time you use bobby pins use the wavy side down and you'll see the difference wooden spoon that wooden spoon is not just a stylish environmentally friendly tool in your kitchen if you like to cook with the lid off and the pot keeps boiling over and ruining your stove lay that wooden spoon across the pot to keep the water down the loop at the back of your shirt that loop is not a remnant of a long ago design that was kept there for sentimental reasons if you don't have a hanger find a hook and use that loop to hang your shirt this helps minimize wrinkling on both the back and front dental floss if floss keeps slipping from your fingers while you clean between your teeth try this trick pull a short length of the floss then tie its ends into a secure loop and use as necessary there's enough tension there to do the job and you never have to lose the floss again unlatched a non flavored dental floss also makes a good cutter for breads and cakes it cuts precisely and minimizes the crumbs aluminum foil box if you can't keep that roll of aluminum foil inside the box there is a way to keep the rolls secure inside while you on for all the foil check the sides of the box for the triangle-shaped tab this usually says press here to lock end you should find one on either side press these tabs and you'll have a way to hold the roll in place beer beer is not just for drinking use it to bake flavorful bread marinate meat polish wooden furniture and gold jewelry and even revive the grass on your lawn also if you're drinking beer from a bottle hold the bottle at the neck and not the body the neck was designed not just to give you a good grip but to keep your hands from warming up that perfectly cold bottle of brew bananas instead of peeling a banana from the stem like any human would peel it from the end by pinching it off then pulling down the skin the way a monkey does the bonus is that you can use the stem to hold onto the banana while you eat it sunny-side up eggs if you crave that perfectly round sunny-side up egg served at your local diner but you don't have one of those fancy mold rings just use an onion ring drizzle some oil onto a nonstick pan place the onion ring in the middle then break the egg into the middle of the ring carefully making sure it drops inside that ring add some salt and cook and enjoy pasta spoon the hole in the middle of your pasta spoon it's not just for draining water you can also use it to measure the amount of pasta that's enough for one serving that way you never make too much or too little ever again pasta since we're on the subject of pasta here's another trick you can use fill a large pot with cold water and add lots of salt but no oil then cook the pasta also if you need to light up something from the flames on the stove use a strand of raw spaghetti it's made of flour and quite flammable but it burns slow mangoes you can never peel a mango without making a mess but only if you're using a knife if you want to get more flesh from the mango slice a law the wide side of the pit then position the bottom edge of the slice on the lid of an empty glass run the mango snugly against the lid allowing the lid to separate the flesh from the skin the glass will catch the mango flesh strawberries instead of using a knife to cut off the leaves and stem push a drinking straw from the pointy bottom of the strawberry and out the top this trick will remove the stem and you'll have more strawberry flesh to enjoy ketchup bottle instead of hitting the bottom of that Heinz ketchup bottle with your palm try to locate the embossed figure 57 at the base of the neck turn the bottle upside down and tap the number 57 to get the ketchup flowing smoothly juice box next time you're sipping from a juice box try unfolding those tabs at the sides of the box they can be used as handles so you can keep your hands dry and warm natural peanut butter the oil in your natural peanut butter tends to separate from the creamy spread and stay on top then you'll have to stir and make a mess to fix this store the peanut butter jar upside down when you come for it the peanut butter will be nice and even and easy to spread ice cream keep the scooper in the drawer and use a knife dipped in hot water to cut into that tub of ice cream first cut the tub in half across then peel off the container lay one-half of the ice cream on its flat side

from sweaters shirts and jackets garlic smell garlic is delicious and healthy but the smell can cling to your hands for days instead of rubbing your hands dry by soaping up again and again there are two tried and tested tricks you can do to get rid of the garlic Sennett hands place a dab of toothpaste into your palm and rub your hands and fingers together toothpaste gets rid of the smell and gives your hands a minty smell you can soap up with your favorite so afterwards if you like the other method is grabbing anything in your kitchen that's made of stainless steel place your hands under running water as you rub your palms and fingers against the steel your stainless steel kitchen sink will actually work if you have one this will neutralize the smell of garlic on your skin saucepan

of that ladle spoon spatula into the hole you now have two free hands to work with plungers we're pretty sure the plunger that lives in your toilet is the wrong kind the pink rubber plunger that's shaped like a cup is the right type for your kitchen sink that is the plunger you need for the toilet that's the one that will create that airtight seal around the toilet drain what you really want is the plunger that has a flange the extra rubber part that's designed to fit in the drain to seal it in this along with the accordion plunger will get the dirty job done coca-cola much has been said about the effects of soda to your health but if you have a bottle lying around that you don't want to drink use it for some other purpose Coke is a great all-around rust remover just soak that rusty
