consuming the entire thing in one swoop but did you know that there is a proper
way to eat this beloved chocolate in 2014 a video showing how to eat this
sweet treat properly went viral when eating toblerone most people will
pull the majority of the bar out and try to break off a piece by pulling
outwards if you've used this strategy you know
that it's no easy task it requires strength of hand dexterity
of fingers and resilience of mind and even when you
do manage to break it off your fingers are
probably now sticky and covered in half melted chocolate

share a piece of chocolate that's been manhandled by
someone else but what if we told you there was a much easier way to acquire a
scrumptious triangular piece the next time you get

pushing it inwards towards the bar from the tip a simple
tap should do the trick a perfectly shaped
piece should snap off pretty easily and voila you are now

fingers or a knife if you have one handy which most people do not you cut or
twist off the bottom half of the cupcake then
you place the recently estranged cupcake half
on top of the frosting like a little cupcake hat
and there you go cupcake sandwich disclaimer
your fingers may get a bit of frosting on them in the process
crumbs will be spilled onto the carpet or in otherwise unideal places

evenly balanced combination in each bite we can assure you

chinese takeout i'm on vacation man and i want some new shoes
who should be hungry this is a hack for broke college students everywhere so
make sure to pay attention you might know that the condiment
containers you can get at fast food joints can fold out in order to
accommodate for extra ketchup or chipotle but did you know that chinese
takeout boxes have a very similar function
ordering chinese takeout is a great way to treat yourself
you don't need to worry about cooking you can just relax on your couch and
wait for the doorbell to ring but if you've ever ordered chinese
takeout you know that it can be hard to know how to approach it either you dig
around inside the boxes making your hands all greasy or you have
to get separate dishes to lay it all out on which you'll have to inevitably wash
later on instead of going through all that trouble did you know that you can
simply unfold the box that the food comes in
they're specifically designed to unfold into a plate
saving the size of your hands from getting greasy and eliminating the need
to do dishes later on in the night and the boxes with the metal hooks work
even better giving a sturdier foundation if you can't finish your fried rice or
your chow mein then the boxes fold right back up and
you can save them in the fridge for a later date
bananas banana banana
how many times have you tried to peel a banana from the top
only to be left with either bruising or breakage
or even worse how many times have you just not been able to open it
bending this poor yellow fruit back and forth without mercy
while it's true that there are plenty of tried and mostly true ways to eat a
banana here is the most efficient way how did
we learn it by observing chimps in the wild while
they may not know about the invention of the wheel
or how to calculate the square root of 64 these animals have sure got
this skill down we'll let you in on a little secret
there's always money in the banana stand it all starts with how you peel it you
see traditionally we're taught to peel the banana from the stem
the top the pointy bit whatever you call it but the stem
is the toughest part of the fruit because that's what attaches it to the
other bananas in its cluster if you try to open it from there it'll
most likely end in damaging the fruit here's another little secret for you
what we consider to be the bottom of the fruit is
actually the top if you look at a banana plant
you'll see that they actually grow upside down
technically right side up they grow from the stem
upwards if you don't believe us google it in conclusion despite what we've been
told our entire lives the best way to eat a
banana is to peel it from the bottom up or technically from the top by pinching
and peeling from the non-stem end of the banana you won't have to risk
bruising your fruit chicken wings hey ain't nothing but a
chicken wing mamacita if you've ever ordered chicken wings at
a restaurant you're probably familiar with the embarrassment of getting the
sauce all over your face and fingers and while it is finger food and it is
socially acceptable to eat them any way you want
that doesn't mean that there isn't a great technique for eating them
most of us just wing it tearing into this food like wild animals but there's
a way to get all the meat off of the bone
all at once and even after you're done decimating it
there's usually still those pesky taunting pieces of meat stuck between
the bones well munch your way to perfection by
learning this simple trick the easiest way to eat
chicken wings is to hold your chicken wing like a game controller
and twist it until the cartilage snaps gently take the cartilage off of the
wide part of the wing then pull the second bone out of the end
leaving one bone on the wing if you place the
bone in your mouth the meat should fall off cleanly leaving
you with a clean chicken bone and a full stomach much like with
toblerone there are plenty of videos online explaining how to master this
so nailing that technique is only a few clicks away
i call them chicken wings candy apples i wish we were going to
candy apple island candy apples are closely associated with
county fairs apple harvest festivals and halloween
they're a nostalgic piece of childhood and
everyone can look back on a fond memory where they've had this snack in their
hands running excitedly through the bright
colors wondering which rides they'd be allowed to go on
but this fall tradition is also notoriously sticky
prone to getting all over your mouth cheeks fingers
and even sometimes in your hair what's even worse
is that this snack is a favorite amongst children of all ages
who are arguably the messiest eaters in the human population
so while this is a deliciously sweet treat it can be difficult to know how
best to approach eating it the most common and accessible way to
eat a candy apple is to just take bites out of it like
it's a giant non-frozen popsicle but this can be hard
on your teeth and it does nothing on cutting back the
gooeyness of the entire endeavor don't want your kids running away making
everything sticky and icky what happened are you okay he slimed me
it's widely accepted that the best way to eat this yummy snack is to take it
off of the popsicle stick cut it like you would a normal apple and
enjoy the slices like that however if you don't have a knife on
your person you can also turn it so it's horizontal and eat it
like a corn on the cob boiled eggs i'm gonna eat 50 eggs
my boy says he can eat 50 eggs he can eat 58 when people wake up in the
morning they want something quick and easy for
breakfast this is why the fast food industry has so
many breakfast menus and why things like instant oatmeal
and cereal exist but for those who are thinking about starting their day off
with something rich in protein they're faced with the daunting task of
preparing hard-boiled eggs perhaps one of the most tedious and
time-consuming tasks is peeling a hard-boiled egg you roll it on
the counter you try chipping away at it you crack it
on your counter but to no avail it seems as though these
shy eggs just don't want to come out of their shells
but there's a little trick to make your morning routine a little less
frustrating and it's to add a teaspoon of baking
soda to the water before you start boiling the eggs this raises the ph of
the water boil the eggs for about 12 minutes with
around 2 inches of water above the eggs when you're done cooking the eggs crack
both ends of the egg on the hard counter top
creating a quarter-sized hole on each end here comes the best part
after you've created both holes hold your egg gently
and blow on one side of it your egg should come
right out of its shell just make sure you have your other hand ready to catch
the egg before it falls onto the kitchen floor
save yourselves i'm gonna save that egg don't be a hero oranges does anyone have
any orange slices big oranges can be notoriously difficult
to peel you find yourself shoving your thumbs
underneath the skin hoping to get some sort of traction only
to end up damaging the fruit the result is a poorly peeled orange
with dents all over it which isn't exactly the most
appetizing snack but there's a simple way to peel an
orange and all you need is a parry knife and a spoon first you
score around the center with your paring knife cutting only an eighth of an inch
deep making sure not to puncture the citrus segments
then insert the handle of your spoon between the peel and the fruit
work your way around the orange until you feel the peel begin to release
and you'll be able to remove half of the peel in one piece
for minimal mess you can even put the peel back on to act as a guard
as you work the other half of the orange after you remove your peel
feel free to separate the segments as you normally would
this is a pulpless juiceless and painless way to prepare your oranges
and while this hack may take a few tries to be perfect
it'll certainly be worth the impeccably untouched product at the end
as well as the impressed looks on the faces
of those you live with wow great really strawberries
seriously oh i think i'll name him berry strawberries are a great fruit on
a summer day or for a picnic in the park and they
tend to be delicious no matter how you eat them
however there's actually a way to make their sweetness
even more flavorful did you know that the direction you put the strawberry in
your mouth changes the way you taste it the next
time you have one of these ripe fruits instead of holding it by the leafy ends
and eating the smaller tip first reverse it make sure to pick the leaves
off first and eat it in one bite what this does is
puts the sweet bit of the strawberry the smaller tip right on the tip of your
tongue ensuring that you can really savor the berries flavor if
you're not one to pick the leaves off and lean towards cutting it up
there's also a tip for how to do that properly too
it's shocking how much of the strawberry is thrown away when you're preparing a
simple snack or fruit salad instead of using a knife to slice up the
strawberry get yourself a straw and use it to dig
out just the top of the fruit you'll find that it's much
easier and helps to cut down on waste pretty smart pretty smart
apples give me an apple hey i said give me an apple

and tempt eve in the garden of eden we've got apple pies and
apple crisps and even fried apples the possibilities are endless
how do you like them apples are well loved because they're simple
cheap and delicious and because of how influential they've been
you'd think humanity would have figured out how to eat them by now
right but despite their reach there's a dark secret that apples haven't told you
yet the core of an apple is actually edible
it's true that the seeds contain cyanide but in such
small quantities that it really doesn't affect you at all
and the proper way to eat an apple from the bottom
to start do what you normally would wash your apple and remove it stem
then instead of approaching from the side or the top approach it from the
bottom it may feel strange at first eating an
apple like this but it's what the experts suggest once
you reach the parts with the seeds you can either spit them out or eat them
like a champ but otherwise it's pretty straightforward
