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 that cut off equal
portions do the same to the other half
and serve old razor blades disposable
razors are pretty much useless wants the
blades have become blunt right wrong use
them to cut off fuzz 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 that whole at the
end of the saucepan holder is not just
for hanging the pan from a hook
next time you're cooking and have to put
down your kitchen utensil save your
counter and simply wedge the end 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 nail or bolt in the soda
for a few hours then wash it clean and
voila the rust will have slough off Coke
also works for cleaning your car's
battery terminals defrosting your frozen
windshield and cleaning greasy kitchen
utensils hair dryer hair dryers can do
more than just dry your hair they can
also be used to dry nail polish on the
low setting if your self-tanner takes a
while to dry use the hairdryer on cool
setting the air will make the liquid
component of the self-tanning lotion
evaporate so it dries faster you could
also use your hair dryer for breaking in
those new slightly tight pair of shoes
wearing thick socks put on the shoes
then blast the areas that feel tight
such as the toes heels and the inside of
the heels keep the dryer about 6 inches
away
