number one opening a hard-boiled egg
anyone who's made hard-boiled eggs
understands the struggle of opening the
egg when it's finished there are some
eggs that opened easily while there are
some other eggs that can be very
difficult to crack open
leaving behind millions of pieces of
shell on the table in the floor well if
you want to know what the best way to
open a hard-boiled egg is it's not about
how you open it as much as how you cook
it if you put some baking soda in the
water when you cook your eggs your eggs
will open up in just two large pieces
number two peeling a banana when you
open a banana you risk splitting the
banana when you open it turning it into
mush some bananas can also be hard to
peel if you want to open your banana
quickly and easily you should open it
from the opposite end when you open the
banana from the bottom you'll be opening
it from the thick solid end it'll ensure
a firm solid banana each time number
three Chinese food takeout container
takeout Chinese food can be delicious as
long as you order from the right place
when most people order takeout they'll
get the food home open the container and
pour the contents into a plate or a bowl
what you might not realize is that this
is one of the most common things that
you're opening wrong the takeout carton
itself can be opened up and used as a
plate it makes it unnecessary to pull
out a clean plate and make it dirty when
you're finished you can just wrap up
this makeshift plate and throw it in the
trash number four peeling a mango
peeling a mango can be a real pain some
people avoid buying mangoes simply
because peeling them can be such a
hassle what you might not realize though
is that you've been doing it wrong there
is a way to peel a mango which is much
easier than peeling it the way you
always have to feel the mango you'll
need only a glass cut the mango in half
and squeeze the rim of that glass
between the peel and the mango and then
push down the mango will push out of the
peel and fall into the glass number five
opening a tic-tac container anybody
who's ever eaten Tic Tacs
knows that when they open that container
several Tic Tacs comes
spilling out at once this is because
you're not opening the container
correctly most people open the large
flip top over on the top of the box what
they don't know is that there is a
smaller opening on the larger top that
will dispense one tic-tac at a time
having two ways to dispense the Tic Tacs
gives you an option of eating just one
tic-tac or the way I like to do it the
whole mouthful at a time number six
opening up a keyring how many times if
you split a fingernail or bent it
backwards trying to get a new key onto a
keyring adding new keys is a hassle that
keyring can be difficult to open up if
you have trouble getting your keyring
open try using a staple remover it's
sharp and skinny enough to easily grasp
with the two pieces of metal and pull
them apart you'll never again need to
struggle when you're putting your new
keys on your key ring number seven
opening a bag of microwave popcorn when
most people eat microwave popcorn they
do one of two things
some people will empty the popcorn and
pour it into a bowl some people will
just eat it right from the bag which
will leave them with buttery hands from
the edges of that bag the best way to
eat popcorn is use the bag as a bowl
rather than opening the bag from the end
cut a hole in the middle of it this will
allow you to use the bag as a bowl and
there'll be no need to dirty a bowl or
your hands number eight peeling an
orange oranges are delicious and really
good for you the only problem is that
peeling an orange can be a huge hassle
it's not uncommon for pieces of the peel
to get stuck beneath your fingernails
when you finally get the peeling started
tiny flakes and small pieces come off
rather than a large strip luckily there
is a way to peel the orange quickly and
easily without making a mess start by
slicing off the base of the orange do
the same for the top finally cut the
orange half way through the top to the
bottom this will allow you to easily
open the orange and each piece will
already be separated number nine opening
a juice box
most people will open their child's
juice box by poking the straw into the
hole while this is the correct way to
open the juice box there's more to it if
you pull up the top seems on the side of
the juice box they'll act as a handle
this will prevent your child from
squeezing too hard and spilling the
juice all over themselves number 10
opening a bag of Fritos rather than
pouring your Fritos into a bowl you can
make the bag into a bowl open the bag in
the front with a pair of scissors remove
the front flap completely and you'll
have a makeshift Bowl to eat your Fritos
out of number 11 open a stubborn jar
there is nothing worse than needing to
open a jar but you can't if you're
having trouble getting a jar open wrap a
thick rubber band around the cover this
will give you a better grip when you're
using all your strength to get that lid
off if you need a really good grip you
might need to use several rubber bands
it's a good idea to keep a bag full of
them in the house at all times number 12
open a beer bottle without an opener
there's nothing worse than buying a beer
and realizing that the bottle is not a
twist-off cap ah well if you don't have
a beer opener you could be in a real
bind luckily there are a few ways to
open the bottle with items that you
probably already have around the house
one of the most classic ways is with a
lighter you can also try a pair of
pliers or a staple remover if you have
nothing and you're not worried about
doing any damage to the countertop well
you can line the cap up with the edge at
the top and tap it hard number 13 open
vacuum sealed products anyone is trying
to open a vacuum sealed package knows
that it can be incredibly difficult
those products are sealed with a zipper
like seal
and there's a plastic piece that you're
meant to pull unfortunately the plastic
part can be impossible to pull open it
can also be time-consuming if you use a
can opener
it'll make opening the package faster
and easier number 14 open a bottle of
wine there is nothing less romantic than
having that bottle of wine and no way to
open it if you don't have a bottle
opener or corkscrew well you can
actually open that bottle of wine using
your shoe
simply put the bottle of wine in a
hard-soled shoe with the bottom of the
bottle inside of the shoe next give the
sole of the shoe a few hits against the
wall and the cork will pop right off as
long as you own hard-soled shoes you can
always have a glass of wine number 15
open a door without a key don't you hate
it when you get locked out of a room in
your house well if this happens man you
don't want to wait for a locksmith you
can try to get in on your own
most doorknobs have a tiny hole close to
the keyhole if you have an eyeglass
screwdriver or a paperclip simply push
it into the hole and move it around
until you hit the mechanism correctly
and the door unlocks number 16 opening a
can of Pringles Pringles are very easy
to open the hard part is when you try to
get the chips out of the can without
breaking them rather than sticking your
hand in and getting it stuck or pouring
them into your palm you can use a simple
piece of paper fold the paper in half
and then push it into the can gently
slide the paper out and you'll get
neatly stacked chips that are unbroken
and ready to be eaten
number 17 open a coconut most people
avoid buying coconuts because they're so
difficult to open it's actually not as
difficult as you think the first thing
that you want to do is to get the juice
out now to do this you screw a corkscrew
into the eyes of the coconut put it over
a glass or a bowl and allow the juice to
drain to open it to get to the fruit put
it in a plastic bag and hit it with a
hammer a concrete floor or with any hard
object when you open the bag the coconut
should be cracked open so that you can
easily access the fruit number 18
opening a hard-boiled egg with a glass
opening up a hard-boiled egg can be
difficult as we talked about earlier the
shells on some of those eggs come off
easy but then some don't well it's not
uncommon to pick and peel tiny pieces of
shell off the egg but by the time you're
finished you don't even want to eat the
egg anymore if you have a shallow
drinking glass well you can easily open
that egg simply put the egg in the glass
and cover it with your hand
shake the glass for about 20 seconds the
eggshell will come off in one or two
pieces number 19 open an avocado without
a knife if you don't have a knife nearby
to open up your avocado you can still
eat it start by peeling a small area
with your fingers at both sides next
squeeze the two areas where you peeled

come right out it's the safest and
easiest way to open up your avocado
