Who Knew
Who knew that they were using the wrong plunger, or that Chinese takeout containers are actually made to fold out into plates!
Aluminum Foil Boxes
Most aluminum foil boxes have press-in tabs
that secure the roll in place, so you don't have
worry
about it flying out every time you rip off a sheet.
Tic Tacs
You know how when you violently shake a container of Tic Tacs into your palm it seems as though you always end up with zero or seven? Avoid that altogether by letting a mint gently glide into the tiny lid crevice.
Forgot a Spoon?
Ever find yourself with an individual cup of applesauce or yogurt and no spoon?
Instead of slurping and probably getting half of your snack on your shirt,
turn the foil
lid into a makeshift spoon.
Obviously, don't try this if you've got a mouth full of metal fillings.
Peanut Butter
You've been storing peanut butter the wrong way?
Never arm wrestle with a jar of peanut butter, just to make sure it's not oily on top and crumby on the bottom, again.
Store it upside down, so the oils distribute evenly.
Ketchup Cups
Did you knou you haven't been using ketchup cups to their full potential?
Instead of grabbing multiple cups of ketchup, simply pull apart at the edges for twice the space.
The Wrong Plunger
Did you know that you're probably using the wrong plunger?
This orange-colored plunger shown is easily the most recognizable. Chances are you have one lying around the house.
But did you know it's only meant to be used on clogged sinks?
To unclog a toilet, you need a flange plunger, which doesn't have a flat bottom.
Chinese Takeout Containers
Did you know Chinese takeout containers are actually made to fold out into plates?
The containers actually are meant to unfold into a makeshift plate, which you can easily reassemble into a box for storing leftovers.
Toothpaste
Did you knou you're brushing with too much toothpaste?
You only need to use a pea-sized amount of toothpaste for effective cleaning.
Most ads feature globs of toothpaste the size of the brush because it looks nice and it makes you use up more toothpaste.
Yogurt Containers
Did you know Greek yogurt containers are meant to be folded in half?
Chances are you've been scooping the toppings with your spoon onto the yogurt.
But, have you realized, the topping holder folds over, so you can pour the toppings DIRECTLY ON TOP?
