VIDEO: We Have Been Using These Things Wrong Out Entire Lives! Do You Do This Too?
Sure, no one can know just anything but there are some things that we use every day and seem really easy so it’s kind of weird that we actually have no clue as to the way we should use them. Even things that seem to require no use of your brain are done wrong every day like the simplest act of using the toilet. You should never have to struggle and you shouldn’t sit, you should squat because that is the natural position that helps you be in top health.
According to buzzfeed.com, there are a lot of things that we just do not know how to use and have not been taking full advantage of what we can do.
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.
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.
Instead of grabbing multiple cups of ketchup, simply pull apart at the edges for twice the space.
This is easily the most recognizable plunger. 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.
The containers actually are meant to unfold into a makeshift plate, which you can easily reassemble into a box for storing leftovers.
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 a.) it looks nice and b.) it makes you use up more toothpaste.
The flap is meant to be placed toward the front. This prevents the agony of sitting down on a toilet seat, only to realize you’ve dragged the cover down into the bowl.
Turn the tab around so that it acts as a holder that can stop the straw from raising out of the can as the soda fizzes.
To easily break off a single piece of Toblerone, pull toward the bar, not away from it.
Take the lid from the top of the cup (or grab an extra) and use it as a perfectly sized coaster.
There are a lot of other things too so you should really start thinking about what you’re doing and questioning everything to find out whether or not there is an easier way to do anything and if you really are using everything to the maximum.
Don’t be afraid to look stupid by asking others because everyone has something they don’t know. Still, we should try to find out how things work because some inventors have actually killed themselves because people weren’t using their inventions as they were intended to be used.
