VIDEO: 10 Things You Didn’t Know About Everyday Objects

Here’s a video compilation of some of the secret and hidden features on items you use on a day to day basis. Ranging from why airplane windows have that little hole in them, to some amazing life hacks using soda bottles. Watch to learn new tips and tricks!
The compilation features a lot of objects that we use literally every day and we never stopped to think about their purpose or haven’t even noticed them yet. If you are one of the ones that like to know how everything works and why all the things are just they way they are and not some other way then you should definitely check this video out to understand them better.
For example, a lot of people think that the hole in the cap of a ballpoint pen is there to keep the pen from drying out or even to prevent the pen from leaking. But, according to buzzfeed.com, the real reason it’s there is much more straightforward: It’s there to lower the risk of suffocation. If a small child was chewing on the cap and choked on it, the hole keeps their airway from closing up entirely.

If you’ve noticed that all the pans have a hole in the handle then you should know that it’s not only there so that you can hang your pots. It’s that so when you are cooking you don’t make a mess by leaving your spoon all over the place. This way, if you put it in that hole there is no mess at all.
Nowadays most of us have given up writing by hand and we type on the computer just about everything, but a lot of people don’t know why on the keyboard you can find some little lines under a couple of letters.
Most trained typists will already know what they’re there for. In 10-finger typing, the “F” and “J” keys are the home keys, where your index fingers rest. The little bumps let you find your way back to the home position without looking down at your keyboard.

We’ve been eating Tic tacs for a long time, but even after all these years we still can’t get out just one or two and we end up with a hand full of them. Maybe you’ve noticed the little indentation on the lid of a package of Tic Tacs before and figured it was there to tightly seal the container, right? Well, it also serves as a dispenser that gives you one Tic Tac at a time.
The indentation at the bottom of every glass wine bottle is said to be there so that the sommelier has a better grip when he pours, but it actually has a different purpose.
It’s actually there to compensate for the pressure that the contents of the bottle go through during the corking process. The sides and bottoms of bottles are weak spots, and the indentation helps evenly distribute the pressure inside the bottle.
