In today's video
I'll be trying to figure out why the internet keeps telling me someone's trying to steal my car and I should check for pennies under
My doors making a shot-glass crayon candle and other things made entirely out of crayons and also completely
Debunking a very popular food hack plus more things. You guys dared me to do in the comments section
In the last video
I asked you guys to tell me what you like to do for fun. And your comments were of course a little weird
But very relatable and also I love you and since you guys came up with so many comments. I thought I'd ask another question
What is your hope for the future?
It could be cars that fly or a machine that will pick your nose for you
Just be creative with your answers and put whatever you can come up with in the comments section
I'll be picking 10 of my favorite to be featured in the next video now
Let's get things started with this first life hack about how not to get your car stolen
I've seen a lot of viral videos about how if you see a penny under your passenger door handle
That means someone might be about to steal your car and they explain this by saying that the penny will prevent the door from locking
So basically what they're saying could happen is that somebody could find your car while it's locked put a penny underneath the door handle then?
You come up to your car later unlock it to get in and then when you get wherever you're going you lock the car
But the passenger door won't lock because the pennies on the door handle and you never knew the entire time
But if that's what someone is trying then they've got a very very flawed plan
I mean if you have automatic locks on your car
Everybody knows that it's one click for the driver door and two clicks for the passenger door
So you're not even going to unlock your passenger door unless there's somebody getting in on that side in which case the penny would fall
Out but let's say it does play out exactly how they say
Would it work then? I went out to my car to find out. Okay, let's see if this works
So right now my car is unlocked and I'm going to put a penny underneath the door. Actually. It's a quarter
I've got a quarter underneath the door, but whatever
Again
So now it should be locked
And it is and there's the quarter on the ground
This did not work. Maybe it would work on somebody's door
But definitely not mine and to be fair this might work on some vehicles, but I wouldn't be too worried about it
But now I want to try out a life hack that I know to an absolute certainty will not work recently
I saw a life hack video where somebody just rolled the orange in their hand cut the top off and place the top of a
20 ounce bottle on it and then hot glued it which is all very possible and
realistic until they turned it over and
Almost an entire glass of orange juice fell out and that's just not the way did these things work as some of you may know?
I live in Florida where we eat only oranges
Well, not quite but almost and anyone from here is gonna tell you that that is just not how you make orange juice
I don't know who that life hack was for but we're gonna try to debunk it now by simply going through the steps shown in
The life hack and we'll get to see exactly how much juice comes out. Okay
So the first step is to just simply remove the top of this 20 ounce bottle
Okay easy enough
Actually rather than violently stabbing it I should probably just cut it with scissors
okay, the next thing they did in their life hack video is just simply roll the orange a few times like that now while that
Probably does make it a little bit more juicy in the middle, you know
Cause you're breaking apart the orange which is part of the process and actually making orange juice so
Might get a little bit of orange juice out of it
Okay, very rolled and soft now
They only rolled it back like twice, but I wanted to give this thing a fair shot at working
So now I'm just going to remove part of the orange
Now I'm gonna take the top of the 20 ounce bottle and just hot glue it to it
Whatever like that matters
Okay, so you remember how much orange juice fell out of this in the other video? Right? Okay. Let's give it a shot
We got
three or four
Got four drops. All right. There you go. Who wants a glass of orange juice?
That's how much orange juice you can get by doing this method. You want orange juice
Make orange juice the normal way or go buy some nothing said we'll be on to the next life hack
Well to be honest after all of that
Slicing and dicing with my knife that was completely unnecessary to only get four drops of orange juice
I realized I need to make my knife a little bit safer
So what I'm gonna do is make a knife sleeve and I'm going to with my hot glue gun to do this
You just simply cut a piece of parchment paper then
You wrap it around a few times just like that
Also, if you're doing this at home, make sure to be super careful cause you could cut yourself obviously
There's a giant knife underneath this piece of paper and that's not gonna really stop you from getting cut if you are not careful
You just snip off any extra bit. You might have then you just cover it with hot glue
And it only takes a few seconds for it to cool down obviously and you can remove the parchment paper from the inside if you
Want or you could just leave it in there because for the time being it doesn't really matter and then the first time you run
This through the dishwasher on cold. It'll pretty much tariffs all the parchment paper anyways, and it will prevent you from cutting yourself
So for that reason, I am gonna give this white back a passing grade, but like most things on the Internet
It's not all that. It seems to be and that being said we'll be onto the next thing
So for this export in today's video what we're gonna be doing is finding out who framed roger rabbit
Know i'm being told we're making a candle instead. I'm sure that'll be fun, too
But seriously, it's a pretty easy way to make a candle and it looks cool
And if you're bored, you might as well give it a shot. Let's take a look
So all you're gonna need to make this cool candle is a shot glass some crayons and some string pretty simple
First step is to just simply cut the string now
I'm just gonna take this empty crayon box and place the shot glass on top of it and then place something on one side just
Enough to where the shot glass is now leaning
Next slowly undress your crayon now making sure I've got the string in the shot glass before I get started
I'm now gonna just melt the wax from the crayons into the shot glass. This might take a while. So be patient
However, if you're just watching this video, it should take hardly any time at all after each layer
It's important to make sure that you wait until it's dry
And then we're just gonna turn it around and do the same thing with a different color
Now if you're doing this at home
Make sure not to let the lighter get too hot or you'll burn yourself and you'll feel like an idiot
And Now: How to be an idiot, with Funny Me Now
Oww
And after all of that crayon melting you're left with something that looks like this and I actually think that this looks pretty cool
Despite the fact that it did not come out the way that I wanted it to this is kind of more or less a
fail that I still actually really liked and if you look at it from some angles
It looks kind of cool and either way you are left with a working layered candle
All you have to do is cut the wick light it it works
But I just thought since we're making candles I have an idea that might be kind of cool
So a long time ago, I actually bought a silicone mold of some Lego pieces
don't ask me why it was just kind of an impulse buy online and I thought this would be a cool thing to make a
crayon candle out of because for one it's a toy that you can write with and
Then burn now you can buy silicone molds of all sorts of different things
Which would be great for making candles with or you could just use a muffin tray if that's a shape that you're fine with lots
Of things will work as far as making a mold for a candle. You just have to find something
that's not gonna melt in the oven and all I've done here is just broke it up some crayon pieces and put them in the
Silicone mold then I laid a string across it now
We're gonna put in the oven and hope for the best
just gonna bake it at 350 since that's what you normally cook most things at if I need to break up some more crayons to
Put it in the mold. I'll do that while it's cooking
And this should only take a moment because again, we're just melting crayons
(Nice time lapse music)
Okay, that looks very weird somewhat of a tie-dye ish pattern and I'm kind of spilling it
So this is what we've got so far. We just need to let it dry
And then it should be just one giant crayon that you can use to get different colors
Depending on what side of it you're using to draw also
You can light it on fire or you could just leave it as a Lego because that's kind of cool enough fingers crossed that is
This is the first time I've done this
So I guess we'll just have to see how it works fair warning what you're about to see is a grown man getting way too
Excited about Legos just prepare yourself. Okay, so I've given this monstrosity a few minutes now to cool down
Oh, it actually did come out really cool. That's awesome. Are you how to know what I was expecting?
But that actually looks pretty dope on the back end. It actually looks really stupid, but that's okay
Oh, I thought it was gonna be lame. I saw people trying it with paraffin wax
They were like mixing the paraffin wax with the crayon wax and I just didn't like the way that that looked so it's gonna try
To do it without it and it came out perfect just to give you guys a better look at it
I'll bring a little bit closer to the camera. I think that looks awesome
and of course
It's still gonna function exactly like a normal crayon except depending on what side you use is a different color that you're gonna get
That's awesome
I got some brown in here and purples and greens yellows red, basically
every color in the crayon box and nobody has to pay attention to how this side turned out looking really stupid or anything because
Look, oh my god. I almost just broke it. I already dropped the thing
It's already got a dent on it
But that's okay because I still have a silicone mold and I can make as many of these
monsters as I want and look you can even kind of see a face on there almost
I'm gonna build an army of these guys and take over the world
and finally
I wanted to try a life hack that I've actually done before so it should work unless for some reason it doesn't and because we've
made several other types of candles using crayons I figured I might as well show you guys the easiest one and that is just simply
Lighting the crayon on fire whew, that doesn't work
All right, so obviously it's a lot easier if you just set the thing on the table
I was holding it like an idiot
You're gonna want it to be very still because obviously the wax is gonna be dripping all over the place
Which is not going to be very helpful for the flame, but this will stay lit for about 30 minutes or so
Which is kind of surprising but also very cool
And finally, we're at 10 minutes. And that being said we'll be on to the next life hack
