- I'm trying to think in what situation you would
[bleep] pull out a Starbucks drink carrier.
- That just changed my entire life.
♪ (upbeat intro) ♪
- (FBE) So, one of the more popular things found
on the internet is a wide range of life hacks,
so we're gonna show you some today.
- Ooh, I love this. Yes.
I'm all about life hacks.
- I've already looked up a billion of them already,
so we'll see which ones I haven't seen.
- I've seen a few and I think they're
really interesting. I would have never thought
to have done any of these and I'm like, "This is stupid,
but it's smart at the same time."
- Life hacks are one of those things that I love seeing
videos for on my timeline on Twitter,
but never actually try and I think that's what
I'm gonna be seeing today, a bunch of [bleep]
that I think, "Man, I should do that."
and then will never do.
- Okay, let's see some life hacks.
- "Put old newspaper at the bottom of your bin to absorb food juices."
That's double the mess. Once you throw the whole
thing away, it would just be this sponge of food juice.
- Oh, this is real? These are real life hacks?
I look at the meme life hacks, the ones that are literally
completely fake.
- That's very smart, actually, 'cause then your bin
is not all dirty, you know. You're not having all the liquid.
- I actually always wondered is it bad to dump liquid
in the trash can and I used to do that all the time
until probably a couple years ago where I was like,
I don't think it's the best idea to do that.
- I never thought about that. Yeah, 'cause it leaks out
of the bag sometimes, so that's good to know.
- It's a good idea. Where the hell to find
newspapers, I have no idea. We're in 2018, dude.
- "Use bread clips to save flip flops with split holes."
I actually knew about that one. I don't wear flip flops,
but if I did, that would be so useful.
- That's handy, I mean it saves people money
from needing to buy a new flip flop.
- Who sits at home and they're like, "You know what,
this is what I'm gonna do today. I'm gonna put this bread clip
and attach it to a flip flop."
- That's revolutionary. I'm surprised a Gucci clip
hasn't been made for $300.
- "Use bread clips to save flip flops with split holes."
Or just buy good quality flip flops, dude.
Come on.
- I've done that before. I did it once.
I was thirteen and we were going to the beach and right before going,
I fell and my flip flop broke. It worked, but it fell
off the end, so it's just a temporary thing.
- "Use a hanging shoe rack to store cleaning supplies.
And keep them away from kids." This is kind of smart.
I like this idea. It's a good one.
- What if you want your kids to clean?
Then what?
- You can put your Tide pods in there to keep
the Tide pods away from the kids,
'cause that needs to be done.
- I would do this. I think this is really helpful.
All my cleaning supplies are just under my sink.
- I might have to buy this for my mom
for Mother's Day and be like,
"Hey, look at this hanging shoe rack,
but watch this [bleep]. I'm gonna blow your brains."
- All my cleaning supplies are under the sink.
I like it, though. I would do it.
I'm being a mom right now. I'm being a total mom
and I'm so okay with it.
- "Fill up a two liter with dimes and you should have around $700.
Let the dimes challenge begin." That bottle is so
tightly packed, though. Do you know how many
dimes you need to even do that?
- You couldn't fit $700 in a twelve ounce bottle,
my dude, okay. That's a [bleep] lie.
That's like 17 bucks, maybe. I'm thinking more like $7 there.
- I would never be able to do that.
As soon as I'm filling in, I'm like, "Oh, I need a quarter.
Oh, I need this."
- Anyone has loose change in a bottle
or a jar somewhere in their house,
so this one's irrelevant. It's gonna get the decline
for this one.
- I have change jars at home that are filled with quarters
and dimes and stuff and not nearly as much
as a liter.
- $700? No way.
I'm gonna do that with my dimes, now.
That's cool. I don't think I have that many.
I don't think I've ever seen that many dimes in my lifetime,
but I'd like to believe that I could save up $700
in a two liter.
- Oh my gosh, I've seen this before.
"If your laptop is overheating on your lap,
flip one of these over and set the laptop on top."
I think it works, but also anything else works.
- You know what, that is actually the most
practical one. I just may have to try that.
- These are so cool, 'cause they're so simple.
I would have never thought of that.
- That just changed my entire life,
because my laptop always overheats and I'll put it
on my laptop case, but it still overheats,
'cause that's cloth.
- I have a problem with this one
because I am not just gonna have a cup holder
like that sitting around when I'm on my laptop.
- I'm trying to think in what situation you would
[bleep] pull out a Starbucks drink carrier when
you're at home.
- For iced coffee and iced cappuccinos, use frozen
coffee cubes to ensure the drink doesn't
get watered down." That's so cool.
- Why don't they do that at Starbucks?
That is so smart.
- I've seen this before. I've never tried it, though.
It seems like it could work.
- I've actually tried this before.
It works very well. It's a genius idea.
- What about soda? What about juice?
This is just common sense for all types of beverages.
- I think the issue here is too, that if you're
adding these ice cubes to your coffee
that is already pre-made, then it's just gonna make it
a lot more bitter if you're not adding all the other
crap into the cubes, but good idea.
- "Need an inexpensive cookbook holder?
Try a pants hanger." I would have never thought
of that unless I literally saw it on the internet.
- I don't know, man. This one just doesn't
seem that real or legit. This one's just kinda stupid.
- Eh, no. 'Cause you can just
leave it open on the counter. What kind of cookbook
is that thin? I've never seen a cookbook
that thin before.
- This is so funny and practical and it works.
That's really cool.
- If I cooked, that would be very, very informative.
That's actually really cool though, 'cause you can just
hook it from your cupboards and stuff.
I like that.
- It's smart. It's an object that you
never think that you can use like that and then you just--
it saves you the quick trouble for a second.
- "Use a clean dustpan to fill a container
that doesn't fit in the sink." I like how they had
to put the clean part, so you know that
you're not supposed to use a dirty one.
- That's so smart. Yes, this is just great.
It's practical.
- This is amazing. Do people--
these are just people being really resourceful
and innovative with what they have.
- There's so many of these I just think too hard about it,
but for the concept, it's simple. It gets an "Eh."
It gets a maybe.
- There's those days where you gotta fill up
a bucket of water. You're trying to shove the bucket
under the sink. There are easier things
like hoses you could probably find.
- My mop container doesn't fit in the sink either,
but I just put it on the shower.
Just open the shower, open the shower head
and it'll fill up.
- "Use a binder clip to keep your drinks in a nice stack
and avoid rolling all over the place."
I can't even use that, 'cause every surface is not
a gate like that. It's the 21st century.
Everyone's got that clear cover now. It's all solid.
- They do roll all over the place.
I'm trying to put those things on the fridge and they just
start rolling, so I try to stack them and uh-uh.
- Why did you have to throw the cardboard box away?
That's like buying a DVD, pulling the DVD CD out of it,
and then throwing the [bleep] box away.
Why?
- If you're out of space in your fridge,
that's honestly a good way to go,
'cause you know fridges aren't that big
for that many drinks.
- I've had so many times where I would open the fridge
and a soda would fall down and spill and explode
all over me. This is an easy fix for that.
- You have a small fridge, but who puts their beers
in there like that? Did you not just
put it in standing? Who would even do that?
- "Save space in your tiny closet by hanging multiple garments
with soda pop tabs." I've seen this before,
never tried it, but I think it works.
- I mean, you could also just get a cabinet.
- This one's a little confusing for me.
How many clothes do you have and how much soda
are you gonna have to drink to get all these tabs?
- I have a small closet. I just hang clothes
over other clothes. It works just as well.
- You have an outfit for the next day
and you're like these pants go with this shirt,
you can just put it next to each other
and hang it. That is so cool.
I didn't think about that.
- I was just thinking how I don't have space
in my closet and I don't wanna get rid of any
of my clothes. This literally is saving my closet.
- Life hacks are fun. Some of them are very,
very dumb though.
- A lot of these actually I'm gonna go home and do
'cause a lot of them were-- I didn't even think about.
- In a way, it's like recycling things, so you don't just
throw things away. I like it.
I think it's better than consuming more.
- The tray for your laptop. I'm literally gonna go buy
47 of those trays from Starbucks right now.
