facts first presents things you did not
know the use of number one the lettering
on a makeup jar if you have ever bought
a bottle of face makeup you might have
noticed that there's a mark on the
bottle that could read 6m 12 M 18 M or
24 M these are not markings that are
needed in the factory they're actually
the expiration dates if you use face
makeup for too long it can result in a
breakout a rash or an infection these
marks are to let you know when it's time
to toss your old makeup and replace it
with new number two the small hole
between the iPhone flash and the camera
if you have one of the newer versions of
the iPhone you'll notice that there is a
tiny black dot in between the cameras
back camera and the flash that's not
there for show and it's not a mistake
it's actually a tiny microphone Apple
added this to the newer iPhones so that
you could get better sound quality when
you're taking videos number three the
lines on an exacto knife if you've ever
used an exacto knife you might have
noticed the horizontal lines that run up
and down the blade these are there to
extend the life of the razor when the
razor begins to get dull you can just
snap it off at one of those lines and
you'll have a fresh new razor to work
with and that can be done up to ten
times depending on the knife that you
have number four the tabs on the ends of
an aluminum foil box there's nothing
worse than eating aluminum foil only to
have it fall out of the box and roll out
onto the ground but you might not know
is that there are two tabs on each side
of the box that you're supposed to push
in when they're pushed in they will go
right into the holes in the tube holding
the foil in place when you use it number
five the extra piece of fabric that
comes with new clothes if you've ever
bought a new shirt or a new pair of
pants that came with a small piece of
fabric in the bag you might have thought
that it was a patch if you were to rip
your clothing you'd have a small piece
of material to patch the hole with well
that's not the real reason the clothing
manufacturers include this piece of
fabric it's actually so you can put it
in a washing machine so that you'll see
what the washer and the sew
we'll do to your clothing so that you
don't end up ruining it it actually is
just a test piece of fabric the button
that comes with the fabric that is often
included just in case you lose one
number six the extra holes in Converse
sneakers many people who wear converse
sneakers know that there are two extra
holes on the sides of the feet they're
not there for decoration like most
people think some people think that they
are there to lace the sneaker up tighter
and offer more support well both of
those theories sound plausible but they
are both wrong the holes are actually
there for added ventilation since many
styles of converse are high-tops
the more ventilation the better number
seven the hole at the end of a ruler
many people think that the holes at the
end of the ruler are there to help you
make a perfect circle well yeah you can
use it for that the hole is small so the
explanation is kind of silly if you
think about it there aren't too many
people who would need to draw a circle
that tiny the hole is actually there so
that you can have a way to hang the
ruler up rather than trying to fit it
inside a desk drawer number eight the
hole at the end of a Panhandle
of all the things you did not know the
use of this could be the most useful
most saucepans and skillets have a hole
at the end of the handle most people
think the hole is there so that they can
hang their pan on the wall and they are
half right about that the hole at the
end of the handle is a great way to hang
a pan if that's what you choose to do
with it the other purpose of the hole is
to put a spoon handle through if you're
cooking and you stir your food whatever
you're cooking is gonna get all over the
counter unless you rinse off that spoon
every time you need to set it down but
if you put the spoon through that hole
it will hover over the pan and that
would prevent anything from dripping
number nine the arrow on the side of the
gas gauge icon many vehicles will have a
small arrow on the side of the gas gauge
icon the icons there to let the driver
know which side the gas tank is on
whichever way the arrow is pointing
that's the side the gas gauge is on
since most drivers know which side the
tank is on this little arrow is more
helpful to people who are
borrowing a car number 10 pom-pom and
backpack loop the pom-pom on a hat goes
all the way back to the 1900s when
sailors were living aboard ships sailors
would wear the hats and if the pom-poms
scraped the ceiling they'd know that
they needed to duck and they would not
scrape their head the loop on a pocket
of a backpack
that's called a hauling loop they come
in handy with people out in the
wilderness however there's really no
need to put them on a kids backpack
there aren't too many kids out there who
are gonna be hauling heavy items to
school subscribe for more
