- Oh, what?! How'd you do that?
- Whoa. Come on! (laughs)
♪ (upbeat intro) ♪
- (FBE) Today, we're gonna present you with some mind-blowing aspects
of everyday objects that you probably didn't know about
or have been using completely wrong this entire time.
- Oh, I see these on Twitter all the time,
and I'm like, "Hmm." - The only one I've seen
was the pineapple one and I was like,
"Oh! You could pull those apart?!"
- What's the buzzer for then? - (FBE) Here's how this is gonna work.
I'll present you both with a familiar everyday object
and ask you a question related to it.
I will then present you with four possible answers.
Three will be incorrect. And the first person to buzz in
and guess the correct use gets a point.
The person with the most points wins! - Okay.
- Okay, so you're gonna give us the options,
and we get to choose what's the true fact.
- Never was good at multiple choice in school.
Then again, I was never good at free response in school,
so we'll see how it goes. - I would like to apologize
upfront. - Oh, it's okay. It's okay.
- I tend to get a little competitive. - Should I just let out
a stream of obscenities now?
- (FBE) Here's your first item. - How?
Well, then again, I've never really used these
other than at a doctor's office. - These are sample cups
that I ask for when I go to yogurt places.
- I've seen these for ketchup or if you go get frozen yogurt.
- Yeah, and then I know you can separate them
and pull them apart. - Yeah.
- (FBE) The question is why did they choose
the material as well as its small size
and thimble-like shape? Is it A, because they are
biodegradable, B, for calorie purposes--
each cup is exactly one serving size--
C, they actually expand and can be used
for dipping bigger items, or D, they are edible
and can be chewed along with the food dipped into them.
- Whaat? - Try it out. Try it out.
- I would. I just wanna examine this.
(hitting bell) - I like B.
B makes the most sense to me. (buzzer)
(hitting bell)
- They're for dipping sauce. (ding)
(hitting bell) - She got it.
- C. (ding)
- They're expandable. - These ones can expand.
You can expand them and make them larger.
- Oh, what?! How'd you do that?
- Just pull it apart. - Oh, wha...!
(hitting bell) - What?
Bzzzt! - Bzz. Okay, I think it's C,
because I've done it before with my burger.
If it was-- obviously, the burger's too big, right?
Then I put the ketchup, and I was like...
- So, we have to-- (hitting bell)
- It's C. 'Cause watch, I'll do it right now.
You ever do this at In-N-Out?
I do it all the time. - (FBE) The answer was C.
When the cups are made, the paper is folded
and overlapped in a way that if you unfold it enough,
it carries the same amount of ketchup as two cups.
- I'm learning today. - That's it.
You don't lose. You learn. - Exactly!
Knock on wood for that one. - Dude.
- (FBE) While we're on the topic of food,
here is your next one.
- Oh, wait. Food. - Wonderful little takeout container.
- There's actual rice in here. Oh, okay.
- Yeah, it looks, I mean, almost ordinary.
- (FBE) The question is why does the Chinese food takeout container
have such a complex design? Is it A, because they can
double as a dish, saving you the trouble of having to clean one,
B, they're considered works of art in some cultures,
C, the metal handles can double as utensils,
or D, they uniquely keep food safer longer?
(hitting bell) - I feel like D would be practical.
It's safe. It's condensed in there. It's probably not.
'Cause in my mind, that's practical, but none of these things
are probably gonna be practical.
(hitting bell) - It breaks down into this--
you can unfold it and break it down
into the serving dish. (ding)
- Think about it. Origami.
- Yup. I agree. I agree, man. - Do it, Sergio.
(hitting bell)
- It's art. (buzzer)
- I'm gonna go with-- it's A. - A. Expansion?
Making it bigger? - Yeah, expansion.
- I'm just gonna... (hitting bell)
Well, my name starts with D, so I'm gonna choose it
'cause of that. So, I like D.
That's a good one (buzzer)
- A, right? 'Cause it can turn into a dish.
(hitting bell) - I'm gonna say A.
- Yeah, that sounds right. - (both giggle)
(hitting bell) - I forgot my answer now.
Can you repeat the A through D again?
No. - That's-- cheater.
- I think it's so that you could use it as a bowl addition
that you don't have to bring your own dish.
- (FBE) Now, no more getting the sides of your hands greasy
digging into that deep takeout box.
No more pouring food into unnecessary extra plates.
You just unfold the takeout box sides down
and get right to eating.
- Oh. Whoa.
- (Brandon snickering) - (Kim) Perfect. Perfection
- Have you ever done this? - No, but I knew it existed.
- Oh, I didn't. - 'Cause it's like a piece of origami.
- Makes sense. - And they fold it together and--
- I like that it stayed a perfect square.
- I'm learning. I'm happy.
I can take this home. I can take something
from this episode. That's lit.
- (FBE) What do you think is so special about this item?
- Oh, I don't know what the hell this is.
I'll use this for pasta, right? - I have this in my house.
I'm sure everyone has it in their house.
But you're never really sure what it's for.
- (FBE) The question is what do you think this is used for?
A, to create the perfect swirl of pasta on the plate,
B, the fork style was designed for the difficult task of gathering
the spaghetti from the pot, C, the utensil can also
be used as a fork replacement, or D, the hole in the center
is a perfectly proportioned one serving size?
(hitting bell) - That's a tiny serving.
- I know. I'll go with A.
I don't know. - That's a serving to someone?
- Oh, I thought you meant size for A. - B, because the hole is also--
getting it out of the pot, and then also the holes
help strain any excess for... - Water.
- ...water if you're still straining it out
or serving it and then putting the sauce
on top of it afterwards. That's why the hole's there.
(buzzer) (hitting bell)
- That was quick. - Umm... is it B?
(buzzer) - Is it A?
(buzzer) - It's for the pasta,
to hold the pasta. But what was that? B?
(hitting bell) (buzzer)
(hitting bell) - A?
(buzzer) Oh.
- It's D this time. (ding)
Yay! I got one! - Really? I didn't know that.
(hitting bell) - D.
- She did it again.
She's a better beeper. - That's what that hole is for.
That is a serving size of spaghetti.
- (FBE) If you've ever struggled with how much spaghetti
to put in the pot at dinner time, place only as much spaghetti
as will fit in the hole. - Oh! Oh! When it's dry!
- That's a serving?! - When it's dry!
And you can just stick it through. - All right. Then I feed a family of four,
'cause I'm gonna need at least that for my one serving.
- Like, that's a lot of pasta.
- Okay. - There you go.
- Boom. - A little bit more.
A little bit more. - Oh! That's one serving?
Whoa, that's wild... - I feel like that's still kind of
a lot of spaghetti. - Yeah, it's a lot of spaghetti.
- Whoa! Now, my mind is blown. - Okay, that's pretty badass.
- (FBE) Here is your next item. - (both) Yeah.
- It's a can of soda. - (slurps) I don't know.
I'm a little thirsty right now.
- (FBE) The question is, did you know you've been
drinking soda wrong this whole time?
Do you know the correct way? Is it A, you're supposed
to poke a hole in the side with your straw and drink it that way
to minimize bubbles, B, you're supposed to use
your index finger and rub the outer circle to minimize bubbles,
C, you're supposed to completely remove the tab to create
less wrinkles on your nose, D, you're supposed to turn
the tab around once, open to insert...
(hitting bell) - (FBE) ...your straw and keep it
in place. - (laughs)
- That's... it's... - (FBE) Darius?
- D. (chuckles) (ding)
- Turn the tab around and put your straw in.
(hitting bell) - D, inserting your straw
to keep it in place.
- (FBE) That is correct. - It is correct.
- Yay! (hitting bell)
- Yes, the answer is D. If you turn it around,
you can stick a straw in it, and it holds your straw
from doing the straw thing where it goes up and down.
- Yeah, that's a pretty easy one, I think.
- D. - Yeah.
(ding) - YEAHH!
- You got it. You got it. - WOOO!
- (FBE) The correct answer is D. You're supposed to turn
the tab around once to insert your straw
and keep it in place. Isn't that crazy?
- Straw... and a soda can. - See, okay, things like this,
I don't necessarily believe. - I feel like I would drink
that soda so quickly, I wouldn't need the straw.
I'd just (slurp). - Use paper straws.
- Yeah, paper straws. - Or no straws at all.
- Or the little foldable ones. - But if you must use them,
paper straws. - (FBE) So, while we're talking
about drinks, I got another thing you might not know.
- Nice. Recyclable. Good stuff.
- (FBE) Is this just an ordinary container
for your favorite hot beverage? Or is it A, a portal
to another planet, B, each cup is made
of seeds that can be planted to grow a tree in its place,
C, the lid can be overturned and used as a coaster,
D, the lid can be inverted, and then you can successfully
overturn your cup for easy mixing of your favorite lattes.
(hitting bell) - C.
(ding) - I'm not really
a coffee person like that, but... - I think it's C.
You still have a hole there. - But there's holes in it.
- I guess I'll go with C because of the hole thing.
(ding) (hitting bell)
- C. See, you can do this.
And now it's a coaster. - Whoa.
(hitting bell) Come on! (laughs)
- D!
(buzzer) - Ohhhh!
You played yourself! It's a coaster.
(ding) All right.
- That's like a show-off thing, honestly.
(laughs) - Yeah.
Definitely. This is interesting, though.
- (FBE) Congratulations. - You did good. You did good.
- It was a good game. It was a good game.
- I wish the seed thing was true. - I would be pleasantly surprised
if the seed thing was true. - I want instruction manuals
on everything now. - This is why it's important
for us to carry our stories down, past generations.
