FunTranscript
00:00:00You can wash your hands as much as you want, you will never be able to remove this smell of garlic or onion from it.
00:00:06The smell of certain foods is fixed on you because it releases acid molecules when you open them.
00:00:12Washing your hands allows you to clean the food, but does nothing to eliminate the smell itself.
00:00:17To itself, water can even aggravate the problem, because it reacts with the molecules and reinforces the smell even more.
00:00:23It turns out that the best way to get rid of these smells is to rub your hands against your pans, your cutlery and your cooking plates.
00:00:30By admitting that they are made of stainless steel, of course.
00:00:33This method is so effective to eliminate smells that someone even invented a soap made of stainless steel.
00:00:39Trying to squeeze all the juice of a lemon without a grub press can be a real journey of the fighter.
00:00:44Instead of using your hands, try to use tweezers.
00:00:47Place a lemon between the tweezers and squeeze it. You will certainly get a lot more juice with a lot less effort.
00:00:53Plush rolls were originally designed to remove small fibers from furniture and clothes.
00:00:59But you can also use it to keep your silver clean and shiny.
00:01:03The dishwasher can rinse and clean your utensils in depth, but it is not very useful if the place where you store them is dirty.
00:01:10If you want to remove the dirt from the utensil tray, you don't need to take it out of the drawer entirely.
00:01:15Just take your plush roll and put it in each compartment and ta-da! The crumbs and dirt have disappeared.
00:01:22Did you lose the zipper of your earring? Take a small piece of a gum and put your earring in it. It will stay in place like that.
00:01:30Soda cans have this little tab that you use to open your drink.
00:01:34Well, do you see this hole at the top of the tab?
00:01:37It not only facilitates the opening of the can, it is also designed to accommodate your straw.
00:01:42But it also has other uses.
00:01:44If you want to hang a photo on a wall, but there is no wire or support, you can also use a soda can tab.
00:01:51Do you take a coffee to carry?
00:01:53It is usually accompanied by a lid that allows you to close your drink, but you can also use it as a glass.
00:01:59Remove it, turn it over, place it under your cup and you will never leave a trace on a table.
00:02:05If you do not know how much spaghetti to eat for dinner, there is an easy way to measure a portion, with a spaghetti spoon.
00:02:13The base of the spoon is pierced with a hole that allows to evacuate the water, but it can also be used to measure the amount of pasta to cook.
00:02:20What goes into the hole of the spoon is a portion of pasta.
00:02:24You opened the lid of your yogurt and you realize that you do not have a spoon with you.
00:02:28Oops, no panic, no need to buy one.
00:02:31Just take the lid, bend the end to make a handle and use the other end as a spoon.
00:02:38And hop, your little spoon is ready.
00:02:40Once your trash can is empty, you do not need to throw it away.
00:02:44It has an ideal shape to store objects.
00:02:46You may never remember where you put your plastic bags.
00:02:49If you put them in an empty trash can, you will always know where they are.
00:02:53Pliers are great things to bring with you when you want to leave the house, by bringing as few things as possible.
00:03:00Hang one on your keys and you can attach notes to it.
00:03:03With one of these pliers, you will never need to bring a wallet or a handbag.
00:03:08If you do not have a computer pen or products specially designed to clean your keyboard,
00:03:13just use a cotton disc or a cotton swab.
00:03:16Humecte it slightly with disinfectant and pass it between the keys once or twice a week.
00:03:21You may have noticed that many boots have loops that protrude to the back.
00:03:25Their main purpose is to help you put on your shoes more easily.
00:03:29Just pull them up when you put your heel in the boot.
00:03:32These also have another practical use.
00:03:35You can use them to hang your boots to a hook when they are dirty or when you want to dry them after washing them.
00:03:41You can also pass your laces in the loop if you tie them around your ankles.
00:03:45It can be annoying to buy shoes that you like and realize that they are really slippery.
00:03:50Don't panic! Take some glass paper and rub it against your soles to improve adhesion.
00:03:56Now that they are more adhesive, you can even wear them in the rain.
00:04:00Well, I admit it, I used to think that the roughest side of the bi-color rubber was there to erase the ink.
00:04:06The truth is that the darkest side, which is generally blue or gray,
00:04:10can erase the pencil of a more abrupt medium, such as the canson.
00:04:14This type of paper is generally used only by artists.
00:04:17That's why most people don't know it.
00:04:19But that's not all that the gums can do.
00:04:21They can polish your jewelry, clean electronic devices
00:04:24and even remove the annoying residue from stickers.
00:04:27They can also clean the dandruff and filth that you can have on your walls.
00:04:31Oh oh, your lightning fastener is still stuck and you're late.
00:04:35Who has time to take care of that now?
00:04:38Well, the sulfurized paper.
00:04:40Try rubbing it on the stuck lightning fastener and it should come off.
00:04:46Open boxes can do much more than their name suggests.
00:04:49They can, for example, help you with these hard, frustrating plastic packaging.
00:04:55No need to fight with scissors,
00:04:57just take an ordinary open box,
00:04:59pass it along the edge of a packaging
00:05:02and no longer have to struggle to open anything.
00:05:05Here's a top secret trick.
00:05:07The WD-40 can completely remove the chewing gum from the soles of your shoes.
00:05:12It removes stickers, labels and even pencil marks on the walls.
00:05:16You can also use it to untangle your necklaces and remove a ring stuck to your finger.
00:05:21Surprise! Your headphones now have a new support.
00:05:24Carefully wrapping them in a new Kinder is a great way to prevent them from getting tangled.
00:05:29Door handles are most often made of brass, and it's no coincidence.
00:05:33Of course, that adds a nice golden sparkle to a piece,
00:05:36but it also has a practical reason.
00:05:39Brass is generally durable and, above all, it resists all moisture and oils from human hands.
00:05:44It's also antibacterial,
00:05:46so that brass door handles make your home more hygienic.
00:05:51Wooden belts are more chic and elegant than plastic ones.
00:05:55But that's not the only reason they're more expensive.
00:05:58They're often made of cedar, a special type of wood that repels insects.
00:06:03Speaking of closets,
00:06:04slipping a soap bar inside will leave a refreshing smell on your clothes.
00:06:08Nail polish is not only for beauty.
00:06:11Thanks to its adhesive and waterproof properties,
00:06:14it's ideal if you need to make a protective seal or stick things together.
00:06:19No need to lick envelopes anymore.
00:06:21Nail polish is here.
00:06:22It can also keep the mount of your glasses tighter,
00:06:25repair a hole in your necklaces
00:06:27or take care of the sharp edges of shoe laces.
00:06:31You sometimes receive small bags of silica gel
00:06:33when you buy a new pair of shoes.
00:06:35It's recommended to keep them,
00:06:37because silica gel is excellent for absorbing the humidity of the environment.
00:06:41It can also be used for many other things than shoes.
00:06:45Did you know that everyone says that if you drop your phone in water,
00:06:48you have to put it in a bowl with rice?
00:06:50Rice is supposed to extract water from the phone,
00:06:52but silica is even more effective at absorbing humidity.
00:06:55You can also put silica bags in your sports bag
00:06:58to prevent bad smells from accumulating.
00:07:00However, make sure to always be careful with silica gel.
00:07:04The warning label clearly indicates that you should not consume it,
00:07:07because it contains toxic additives.
00:07:10You're writing a dissertation on your computer,
00:07:12you're almost done and...
00:07:14Oh no, there's no internet anymore!
00:07:16No problem, there's an easy way to pass the time.
00:07:19If you use Google Chrome,
00:07:21you'll see a little T-Rex appear in your browser,
00:07:23right next to No Internet.
00:07:25When the T-Rex appears,
00:07:27all you have to do is press the space key on the keyboard
00:07:29to launch a mini platform game.
00:07:31You have to help the T-Rex run
00:07:33without bumping into a cactus on your way.
00:07:35Okay, connection, no need to come back,
00:07:37I have records to beat.
00:07:39We all know what a thermos is for,
00:07:41but it wasn't invented to keep your coffee warm.
00:07:44It was made by a Scottish scientist
00:07:46who simply wanted a safe place
00:07:48to keep his chemicals at a stable temperature.
00:07:51So he took two bottles,
00:07:53put the smallest in the largest
00:07:55and sucked the air between the two.
00:07:57Ah, thank you for helping me keep my coffee warm.
00:08:00You may be used to taking a coffee
00:08:02to take to your favorite place
00:08:04to wake up in the morning.
00:08:06But when you get home or to your workplace,
00:08:09you may be afraid to stain your desk
00:08:11by putting your coffee on it.
00:08:13Don't worry,
00:08:15this plastic lid isn't just there
00:08:17to keep your coffee warm.
00:08:19It also acts as a cup holder.
00:08:21In fact, your cup fits perfectly in it.
00:08:24So try it.
00:08:26The next tip will be very useful
00:08:28if you like to cook at home.
00:08:30If you're like me,
00:08:32you may have a hard time knowing
00:08:34how much pasta you need for a single portion.
00:08:36Well, if you have a spoon,
00:08:38go get it.
00:08:40Most people don't know
00:08:42what the little hole in the middle is for,
00:08:44and suppose it's there to let the water flow.
00:08:46But in fact, it's used to measure a perfect portion.
00:08:49Before cooking,
00:08:51you can put as much dry spaghetti as you want
00:08:53in this hole,
00:08:55and you'll know how much to use.
00:08:57When you go to a grocery store
00:08:59to buy tinder,
00:09:01you may notice that plastic tinders
00:09:03are cheaper than wood tinders.
00:09:05There's a good reason for that.
00:09:07Wood tinders are made of cedar.
00:09:09The big difference between the two
00:09:11is that wood tinders repel insects and mites.
00:09:13They're also stronger
00:09:15and last longer,
00:09:17which is perfect for this object
00:09:19that stays in your closet for a long time.
00:09:21When you look at your toothbrush,
00:09:23you may have noticed that it has blue hairs.
00:09:25They're not there just to look pretty.
00:09:27In fact,
00:09:29they're there to tell you
00:09:31when to change your toothbrush.
00:09:33These hairs lose their firmness and color
00:09:35when the brush is used,
00:09:37which means it's time to get rid of them.
00:09:39Microwave ovens
00:09:41often look like mini-TVs,
00:09:43especially those in which this black frame
00:09:45is clearly visible.
00:09:47This is a very important feature
00:09:49that prevents the waves from escaping.
00:09:51This structure is actually
00:09:53a Faraday cage.
00:09:55Thanks to it,
00:09:57you can stand next to a microwave
00:09:59without instantly turning into a puddle.
00:10:01That doesn't mean you have to spend your day
00:10:03in front of your microwave
00:10:05watching your food heat up,
00:10:07but at least you know you won't wake up
00:10:09with an extra ear the next morning.
00:10:11Some ovens have a drawer
00:10:13in their lower part.
00:10:15You can use it to store food
00:10:17that you don't use often,
00:10:19but there's actually a better use for it.
00:10:21You'd rather use it
00:10:23to keep the food hot
00:10:25waiting to be served.
00:10:27You can take them out of the oven
00:10:29and store them directly in this drawer,
00:10:31which frees up space
00:10:33so you can continue cooking.
00:10:35Now you're on a plane.
00:10:37You look around you
00:10:39trying to pass the time
00:10:41before taking off.
00:10:44Don't worry,
00:10:46the window isn't broken.
00:10:48It's there to reduce the pressure
00:10:50as the plane goes up and down.
00:10:52It also allows the air to circulate.
00:10:54Now raise your hand
00:10:56if you've ever climbed an escalator
00:10:58and rubbed your shoes
00:11:00on the kind of brush
00:11:02that's on the side.
00:11:04I do it myself quite often,
00:11:06maybe more than I should.
00:11:08But these hairs aren't there
00:11:10to clean your shoes.
00:11:12Your laces and clothes
00:11:14get stuck in the mechanism,
00:11:16which avoids a lot of discomfort
00:11:18when you go down.
00:11:20Sometimes you find a piece of fabric
00:11:22with your new dress.
00:11:24It's usually accompanied
00:11:26by extra buttons
00:11:28in a small plastic bag.
00:11:30You might think it's there
00:11:32to make your clothes easier
00:11:34to tear, but it's not.
00:11:36You're actually supposed
00:11:38to put it in your washing machine
00:11:41Now you don't have to worry
00:11:43about your new coat shrinking
00:11:45because you'll know in advance
00:11:47what program to use.
00:11:49Most people remember
00:11:51their childhood bubble blowers
00:11:53with emotion.
00:11:55But as we grow up,
00:11:57it's in our foam bath
00:11:59that we enjoy the bubbles.
00:12:01After a hard day's work,
00:12:03there's nothing better
00:12:05than a good hot bath.
00:12:07And bubbles do more
00:12:09than just keep you warm.
00:12:11They keep your bath warm
00:12:13for a longer time.
00:12:15Sometimes there are
00:12:17mysterious holes
00:12:19in the chocolate boxes.
00:12:21When I eat a box or two,
00:12:23I usually ignore them
00:12:25and take the chocolate
00:12:27out by pressing
00:12:29on the bottom of the plastic.
00:12:31But that's not the right method.
00:12:33If you press on one of the holes,
00:12:35the chocolate comes out
00:12:37of the other hole.
00:12:39The handle of a pan
00:12:41is often pierced by a hole.
00:12:43Most people use it
00:12:45to hook their pan
00:12:47to a hook
00:12:49as an easy storage method.
00:12:51But this hole has another use.
00:12:53When you cook,
00:12:55you can use this handle
00:12:57to put your spoon
00:12:59in wood or plastic.
00:13:01It keeps your work plan
00:13:03clean when you put it in.
00:13:05In this cap,
00:13:07there's a plastic cover
00:13:09that doesn't seem useful.
00:13:11But it's not.
00:13:13It's a seal.
00:13:15It keeps your drink
00:13:17sparkling.
00:13:19That's exactly
00:13:21what I needed.
00:13:23Many door handles
00:13:25are made of brass.
00:13:27And it's not by chance.
00:13:29They are made
00:13:31of this specific material
00:13:33So, let's go fishing?
00:13:35If the stick was smooth,
00:13:37the candy would slide too easily.
00:13:39Leather motorcycle jackets
00:13:41are often sewn diagonally.
00:13:43It's not just a fashion effect.
00:13:45Vertically sewn zippers
00:13:47can be rolled up
00:13:49when you lean forward,
00:13:51but not a diagonal zipper.
00:13:53The little triangle on your fuel gauge
00:13:55tells you which side
00:13:57of the car is the gas station.
00:13:59You'll never stop on the wrong side
00:14:01of the gas station.
00:14:03Vacuum cleaners
00:14:05are equipped with many accessories.
00:14:07But do you really know
00:14:09what a long-haired vacuum cleaner is for?
00:14:11It's used to clean dust
00:14:13and is perfect for cleaning
00:14:15framed paintings,
00:14:17stores, and abattoirs.
00:14:19These little holes
00:14:21in the chocolate box
00:14:23actually have a function.
00:14:25Press on the hole
00:14:27near the candy
00:14:29and the candy will pop.
00:14:31Most buildings have
00:14:33a limited number of floors.
00:14:35Since these invisible floors
00:14:37are empty,
00:14:39they add height to the building
00:14:41and make it more impressive
00:14:43without increasing
00:14:45the number of real floors
00:14:47while respecting
00:14:49the construction contract.
00:14:51These hollow floors
00:14:53also prevent fire propagation.
00:14:55Women's shirt buttons
00:14:57make it easier
00:14:59to button the shirt.
00:15:01Your cuticles are useful
00:15:03so think about
00:15:05getting rid of them.
00:15:07This little skin area
00:15:09is there to protect
00:15:11your nails from infections.
00:15:13Without it,
00:15:15bacteria and fungi
00:15:17can infiltrate.
00:15:19What's the difference
00:15:21between a wooden belt
00:15:23and a plastic belt?
00:15:25It's actually a button
00:15:27used for maintenance
00:15:29or in case of emergency.
00:15:31These buttons are rivets
00:15:33and are placed
00:15:35where the jeans are weakest
00:15:37to protect it from
00:15:39tension or movement.
00:15:41The Statue of Liberty
00:15:43has seven points
00:15:45representing the seven seas
00:15:47and the seven continents.
00:15:49They were added
00:15:51to give the world
00:15:53a sense of security
00:15:55and safety.
00:15:57These buttons
00:15:59can be attached
00:16:01to a padlock
00:16:03to prevent theft.
00:16:05Salt is not only
00:16:07used for seasoning
00:16:09but also to remove
00:16:11the smell.
00:16:13Rubbing it on your fingers
00:16:15after chopping garlic
00:16:17will remove the smell.
00:16:19If you're in a hurry
00:16:21it's ideal for removing
00:16:23the scuffs on leather shoes.
00:16:25It will also make them shine.
00:16:27Some car trunks
00:16:29have an emergency lock
00:16:31in case you accidentally lock yourself in.
00:16:33You're never too careful.
00:16:35You wait a bit to find it
00:16:37and then pull on it to open the trunk.
00:16:39The painted grids have a secret slide
00:16:41in the back that can be removed
00:16:43to remove the crumbs.
00:16:45Look at the keyboard
00:16:47of your laptop.
00:16:49When your fingers are in the optimal position
00:16:51to type,
00:16:53your index fingers must rest on these two keys.
00:16:55These buttons were added
00:16:57so you can position your hands
00:16:59without looking at the keyboard
00:17:01if you don't have an index finger.
00:17:03Maybe it's because you fed the sharks
00:17:05a bit too close and in that case
00:17:07you can't do anything.
00:17:09The on-board agents ask you
00:17:11to lift the windows
00:17:13so they can see what's going on outside.
00:17:15This way they can choose
00:17:17what to do in case of an emergency.
00:17:19Almost all airlines are white
00:17:21because this color reflects the sun's rays
00:17:23and prevents the plane from overheating.
00:17:25Another good reason
00:17:27is that white paint is cheaper.
00:17:29In addition, workers and engineers
00:17:31can easily notice
00:17:33any damage on a white surface.
00:17:35It's better to avoid
00:17:37making big decisions during a flight.
00:17:39Your brain doesn't get enough oxygen
00:17:41at such a height
00:17:43and this negatively affects its functioning.
00:17:45The chewing gum,
00:17:47the hard candies and the mint candies
00:17:49can help you avoid
00:17:51your ears moving
00:17:53during take-off and landing.
00:17:55It's not thanks to the candies
00:17:57but to the swallowing process.
00:17:59The chewing gum
00:18:01also helps you get rid
00:18:03of the bad breath
00:18:05caused by the rare air
00:18:07at high altitudes
00:18:09that removes the humidity from your body.
00:18:11The dry air can make you feel
00:18:13your nose and throat dry
00:18:15as if you had the symptoms of a cold.
00:18:17These symptoms usually disappear
00:18:19just after landing.
00:18:21The water used to make coffee
00:18:23and tea on board is not always clean.
00:18:25Many airlines use
00:18:27very good water filters
00:18:29but it's better to ask for bottled water
00:18:31if you're thirsty.
00:18:33This little triangle on the plane's wall
00:18:35above your seat means a lot
00:18:37to the flight attendants.
00:18:39These triangles mark the windows
00:18:41where you can see the flashing lights.
00:18:43They indicate the retraction of the landing gear
00:18:45and the closing of the flaps.
00:18:47Let's say the pilots discover
00:18:49that there's a problem.
00:18:51In this case, a flight attendant
00:18:53will rush to the window
00:18:55to check what's going on.
00:18:57For the passengers,
00:18:59it's simply the best place for pictures
00:19:01as you can see the wings perfectly.
00:19:03The seats in the middle of the cabin
00:19:05above the wings
00:19:07are the best for the passengers.
00:19:09The wings are less shaky during turbulence.
00:19:11If you tend to be nervous
00:19:13during the flight,
00:19:15do a bit of physical exercise
00:19:17just before getting on the plane.
00:19:19A short training session
00:19:21helps to reduce your stress level
00:19:23and makes your body release endorphins,
00:19:25the hormones of happiness.
00:19:27In addition, this physical activity
00:19:29makes up for the hours you spend sitting still.
00:19:31The turbines are placed under the wings
00:19:33because it makes the maintenance
00:19:35of the engines less expensive,
00:19:37but also easier.
00:19:39Previously, they were placed at the level of the tail.
00:19:41This required expensive equipment
00:19:43and a lot more time to repair them.
00:19:45When we started to install the engines
00:19:47under the wings,
00:19:49the price of tickets dropped.
00:19:51Imagine you're flying in a mongolfière.
00:19:53You see the burner system
00:19:55installed under the balloon,
00:19:57also called an envelope.
00:19:59It heats the air inside,
00:20:01which makes the mongolfière go up.
00:20:03The turbulence on board a plane
00:20:05makes the plane go up.
00:20:07When it gets colder,
00:20:09the plane goes down,
00:20:11and the passengers feel like they're on a roller coaster.
00:20:13A hot air flow left by another plane
00:20:15can also cause turbulence.
00:20:17It's a common phenomenon on most flights.
00:20:19But generally,
00:20:21the turbulence is so light
00:20:23that passengers don't feel it.
00:20:25Do you know that planes can fly
00:20:27even after a failure of an engine?
00:20:29Pilots can manage such an emergency
00:20:31and land the plane safely.
00:20:33Passengers can feel
00:20:35a slight inclination during the flight,
00:20:37but in most cases,
00:20:39they don't even know that the plane is flying
00:20:41with just one engine.
00:20:43Your eyes receive oxygen directly from the air.
00:20:45It's not driven by blood.
00:20:47Your eyes can be a little dry during the flight,
00:20:49but drops for the eyes in your luggage
00:20:51will help you keep your eyes moist.
00:20:55It's forbidden to carry large volumes of liquid
00:20:57on board,
00:20:59because some dangerous substances
00:21:01can dissolve in the water.
00:21:03If a plane has to sink,
00:21:05its wings become lifeboats.
00:21:07Empty fuel tanks
00:21:09also help planes to float.
00:21:11Besides, it can take 10 to 60 hours
00:21:13before the plane sinks.
00:21:15It all depends on the model,
00:21:17the weather conditions,
00:21:19and the pilot's skills.
00:21:21These smiling air hostesses
00:21:23that you meet when you enter the cabin
00:21:25usually hide their hands behind their backs.
00:21:27They count the people who enter the plane
00:21:29to make sure that all passengers are on board.
00:21:31Despite what people say
00:21:33about food on planes,
00:21:35it's actually not that bad.
00:21:37The problem is your sense of taste,
00:21:39which is no longer as efficient
00:21:41because the air in the cabin makes your mouth dry.
00:21:43It also foams your sense of smell.
00:21:45That's why air hostesses
00:21:47add a lot of spices and salt to their meals.
00:21:51Is it true that your hair grows faster during a flight?
00:21:53Not really.
00:21:55Scientists haven't been able to prove it.
00:21:57The myth appeared in the first part of the 20th century
00:21:59when some passengers noticed
00:22:01that their beards grew more
00:22:03during a flight.
00:22:05It's normal for people to have a headache
00:22:07during a flight,
00:22:09especially just after takeoff.
00:22:11You go up to a height higher than Mount Everest
00:22:13in about 10 minutes.
00:22:15These changes happen too quickly
00:22:17for your body to adapt.
00:22:19Airplane seatbelts
00:22:21are placed above your belly
00:22:23to prevent you from being projected
00:22:25to the ground in case of turbulence.
00:22:27When this happens,
00:22:29the plane starts to move from top to bottom
00:22:31and your seatbelt holds you tight.
00:22:33Conversely, seatbelts in cars
00:22:35protect people from horizontal collisions.
00:22:39Airplanes have a special protection
00:22:41against lightning.
00:22:43Even if it strikes,
00:22:45passengers won't feel it.
00:22:47Airplanes are covered in an aluminum coating
00:22:49that drives the electric current
00:22:51but doesn't let it penetrate inside the plane.
00:22:53Electronics and fuel tanks
00:22:55also have an additional protection.
00:22:57Airplane seatbelts are uncomfortable
00:22:59because airlines try to
00:23:01allow as many passengers
00:23:03as possible into a plane.
00:23:05That's why there's so little space
00:23:07between the seatbelts.
00:23:09Two additional rows means
00:23:1112 more passengers.
00:23:13In addition, airlines make lighter
00:23:15seatbelts to save on fuel costs.
00:23:17Even an additional weight,
00:23:19apparently insignificant,
00:23:21will save on fuel costs.
00:23:23By the way, your seatbelt
00:23:25has a waterproof coating.
00:23:27It's necessary to prevent a fire
00:23:29from spreading in case of an accident.
00:23:31Airport employees transport
00:23:33unrequited luggage to special centers.
00:23:35If the owner doesn't show up
00:23:37within three months,
00:23:39the luggage is put up for sale
00:23:41in specialized stores.
00:23:43In the past, you couldn't use
00:23:45your phone in an airplane
00:23:47because cell phones were dangerous
00:23:49and could disrupt airplane
00:23:51electronics.
00:23:53Supermarket trucks
00:23:55have a loop for a good reason.
00:23:57You don't want to leave your jacket
00:23:59in your truck next to an onion
00:24:01and potato net, do you?
00:24:03Hang it on the ring.
00:24:05It helps you organize your truck.
00:24:07They also have another storage area
00:24:09at the bottom.
00:24:11When your truck is full,
00:24:13just lift this part
00:24:15and put a small basket
00:24:17on top of the wheels
00:24:19and secure it with these hooks.
00:24:21If you have parsley stuck
00:24:23between your teeth,
00:24:25try this trick.
00:24:27It can be difficult to remove
00:24:29with a loose dental floss.
00:24:31You need more tension,
00:24:33so tie a knot.
00:24:35The stripes on the toothpaste
00:24:37can look a bit strange.
00:24:39It's just a marketing trick.
00:24:41In the 1970s,
00:24:43the leading toothpaste brand
00:24:45didn't exist.
00:24:47However,
00:24:49the blue stripes on your toothbrush
00:24:51are there for a good reason.
00:24:53They gradually lose their color
00:24:55over time.
00:24:57When the blue disappears,
00:24:59it's time to change your toothbrush.
00:25:01Have you ever noticed
00:25:03this little hole
00:25:05under the locks?
00:25:07It's there to drain the water
00:25:09and prevent rust from the locks.
00:25:11It's also a place
00:25:13where coins are stored.
00:25:15Previously,
00:25:17the edges were cut
00:25:19and melted
00:25:21to create new pieces.
00:25:23Thanks to these patterns,
00:25:25you can easily see
00:25:27if someone cut the edges.
00:25:29If you can't call an orange,
00:25:31here's another method.
00:25:33First, cut the top and bottom.
00:25:35Make a notch on the side
00:25:37and pull to open it.
00:25:39This little metal hole
00:25:41is usually sealed with aluminum foil.
00:25:43So unless you want to break your nails
00:25:45trying to open them,
00:25:47turn the cap over and push it.
00:25:49The little rubber disc
00:25:51under each metal bottle cap
00:25:53is useless if you've been drinking
00:25:55soda all your life.
00:25:57That's what keeps your drink
00:25:59tasty and fizzy.
00:26:01The cap keeps the liquid inside
00:26:03and the rubber disc
00:26:05keeps the gas inside
00:26:07until you drink it.
00:26:09If you use the blue part
00:26:11of your rubber to remove the pen,
00:26:13your notebooks will probably be full of holes.
00:26:15The blue side will be used
00:26:17to erase on much thicker paper.
00:26:19It works with pencil and even ink
00:26:21as long as the paper is thick enough.
00:26:23Hair clips
00:26:25will never stay in place
00:26:27if the waves are not on the right side.
00:26:29They should always be facing your head.
00:26:31You still can't do it?
00:26:33Put some lacquer on your clip
00:26:35before putting it in your hair.
00:26:37Many glasses
00:26:39have a sort of indentation
00:26:41on their base.
00:26:43It's convenient if you want to look classy
00:26:45while pouring your drink.
00:26:47Put your thumb in the indentation
00:26:49and pour.
00:26:51On wine bottles,
00:26:53it's called spitting.
00:26:55These little sweets
00:26:57from the local café
00:26:59only ask to be opened differently.
00:27:01Look how happy they are!
00:27:03Try to tear the packaging
00:27:05The cotton discs
00:27:07have a string that allows you
00:27:09to hang it in your bathroom.
00:27:11But you don't need to unscrew
00:27:13and then tighten the string
00:27:15every time you take a disc.
00:27:17Look at the bottom,
00:27:19there is a pre-cut line.
00:27:21Tear it to open it, and voila!
00:27:23Door handles are usually made of brass,
00:27:25bronze or copper alloy.
00:27:27Why? It's antibacterial,
00:27:29so it prevents microbes from spreading.
00:27:31In a few hours,
00:27:33don't forget to wash your hands!
00:27:35Bottles have a long neck
00:27:37for a good reason.
00:27:39You should hold the neck
00:27:41and not the bottle
00:27:43if you want to enjoy
00:27:45a good fresh drink.
00:27:47The same goes for foot glasses.
00:27:49The foot prevents your drink
00:27:51from overheating.
00:27:53Zips are too much?
00:27:55Maybe, but they are very useful
00:27:57against theft.
00:27:59Just lock them together.
00:28:01This button on your neck
00:28:03on your shirt
00:28:05keeps your tie in place.
00:28:07You don't want it to come off.
00:28:09Most shoe manufacturers
00:28:11are now a pre-installed
00:28:13anti-bubble system.
00:28:15It may seem a bit exaggerated,
00:28:17but it's actually
00:28:19the extra hole
00:28:21at the top of your shoes.
00:28:23Put your shoelace
00:28:25in the extra hole
00:28:27by inserting the shoelace
00:28:29and passing it through the loops.
00:28:31Now tie your knot
00:28:33and go for a run!
00:28:35If you find small bags
00:28:37of silica gel in your bags,
00:28:39shoes or whatever,
00:28:41don't throw them away.
00:28:43They are there to absorb
00:28:45the excess moisture.
00:28:47So as soon as your shoes
00:28:49are a bit wet,
00:28:51put a few bags of gel
00:28:53in them and leave them
00:28:55overnight.
00:28:57The gel will flow
00:28:59through your hair.
00:29:01The margins left in the notebooks
00:29:03are not made to take extra notes
00:29:05or to practice making emojis.
00:29:07They were invented to protect
00:29:09the work of individuals.
00:29:11In the past, we lived among
00:29:13lots of hungry rats.
00:29:15They devoured the paper.
00:29:17So we put these margins
00:29:19so that people remember
00:29:21to start their work
00:29:23from the margins
00:29:25of their shoes.
00:29:27They are a key element
00:29:29for any party.
00:29:31But they also have the advantage
00:29:33of being a green-doser
00:29:35to dose their drinks well.
00:29:37The bottom line indicates
00:29:3930 ml, the second equivalent
00:29:41to 148 ml and the third
00:29:43to 355 ml.
00:29:45If you like to put milk
00:29:47in your tea,
00:29:49try this trick next time.
00:29:51Pour it by putting the hole
00:29:53in the middle of the straw.
00:29:55The detachable straws
00:29:57are there for your safety.
00:29:59If you remove the straw,
00:30:01you'll see two solid metal bars.
00:30:03If you're stuck or locked
00:30:05in a car, you can always
00:30:07remove the bars to break
00:30:09the window and escape.
00:30:11The buttons on women's shirts
00:30:13are on the left,
00:30:15even if 85% of people
00:30:17are right-handed.
00:30:19It would be more logical
00:30:21to put the straw
00:30:23on your rear-view mirror.
00:30:25You can hang
00:30:27your deodorant,
00:30:29a teddy bear,
00:30:31maybe an emoji.
00:30:33But it's mainly to switch
00:30:35from day to night mode.
00:30:37When night falls,
00:30:39this straw allows you
00:30:41not to be blinded
00:30:43by the car lights behind you.
00:30:45The McFlurry spoon
00:30:47has a square handle.
00:30:49You can put it directly
00:30:51in your skin.
00:30:53It saves time
00:30:55and water for your employees
00:30:57because they don't need
00:30:59to clean the machine
00:31:01after each use.
00:31:03Wooden straws are so
00:31:05top-notch nowadays.
00:31:07They're much more
00:31:09natural and aesthetic
00:31:11than the others.
00:31:13But there's a good reason
00:31:15to use them.
00:31:18Listen to this.
00:31:20Over the past centuries,
00:31:22manufacturers added grooves
00:31:24on the edges of coins
00:31:26to fight against counterfeits.
00:31:28In the past, they filed
00:31:30the edges of coins
00:31:32and used the metal obtained
00:31:34to hit new coins.
00:31:36But with the grooves,
00:31:38it's impossible to hide
00:31:40a missing coin.
00:31:42These little cylinders
00:31:44on the charging cables
00:31:46protect your machine
00:31:48from short-circuits.
00:31:50These pockets on the jeans
00:31:52were used to store
00:31:54the watches.
00:31:56But what about
00:31:58the metal buttons?
00:32:00They help to hold
00:32:02the fabric together.
00:32:04Manufacturers place
00:32:06these buttons where
00:32:08the jeans can tear
00:32:10during movement or tension.
00:32:12These little holes
00:32:14are used to hold
00:32:16your phone in your pocket
00:32:18or in your hand.
00:32:20This little dot
00:32:22on your iPhone
00:32:24is a microphone.
00:32:26You can get
00:32:28a good sound
00:32:30from a video.
00:32:32Your Mac's Spotlight
00:32:34can be used
00:32:36to search files
00:32:38and apps
00:32:40or as a calculator.
00:32:42You just bought
00:32:44a new bottle of oil.
00:32:46You remove the lid
00:32:48and see a small hole
00:32:50that you can tear
00:32:52by pulling on a loop.
00:32:54Remove it,
00:32:56but don't throw it
00:32:58in the bin.
00:33:00Replace it upside down
00:33:02to check the flow
00:33:04by pressing your finger
00:33:06on it.
00:33:08The tiny spots
00:33:10are where the other letters are.
00:33:12The brushes on the escalators
00:33:14are not used to tighten your shoes,
00:33:16but to ensure your safety.
00:33:18These nylon hairs
00:33:20prevent your laces and clothes
00:33:22from entering the escalator wheels,
00:33:24which is not good news.
00:33:26Most of the American door handles
00:33:28are made of brass.
00:33:30This type of metal
00:33:32is effective against microbes
00:33:34because bacteria
00:33:36can't multiply
00:33:38and cause total intimacy.
00:33:40The space under the door
00:33:42is designed to make you want
00:33:44to get out of there
00:33:46as soon as possible.
00:33:48Thanks to this design,
00:33:50there is much less waiting.
00:33:52You can use a plastic lid
00:33:54of a soda can
00:33:56as a glass bottom.
00:33:58It has the perfect shape
00:34:00to hold your drink
00:34:02and prevent the surface
00:34:04of a table from being wet.
00:34:06You can use the bars
00:34:08of the removable lid
00:34:10to break the glass
00:34:12and get out.
00:34:14You see these little plastic discs
00:34:16under the bottle caps?
00:34:18This little thing helps
00:34:20to keep the empty space
00:34:22inside the bottles,
00:34:24which keeps the soda
00:34:26in a sparkling state.
00:34:28You've probably seen food
00:34:30heated in a microwave
00:34:32at least once in your life.
00:34:34The tiny dots on the locks
00:34:36next to the lock hole
00:34:38are designed to evacuate moisture
00:34:40if water gets inside.
00:34:42If the lock gets stuck
00:34:44or starts to rust,
00:34:46you can pour oil
00:34:48through this hole
00:34:50to fix the problem.
00:34:52Golf balls are covered
00:34:54with tiny craters
00:34:56for better aerodynamics.
00:34:58They are called faucets
00:35:00and this design helps
00:35:02water to flow
00:35:04and prevent it from accumulating
00:35:06when the cup is in the dishwasher.
00:35:08At first, sunglasses
00:35:10were not invented
00:35:12to look in the right direction.
00:35:14These glasses were used
00:35:16during expeditions in the Arctic.
00:35:18A huge amount of snow
00:35:20can blind you,
00:35:22just like a flashlight.
00:35:24To protect your eyes,
00:35:26we invented these unique glasses.
00:35:28You can use any T-shirt
00:35:30and you don't waste time
00:35:32or money packing it in plastic.
00:35:34The button at the back
00:35:36of your shirt
00:35:38keeps your tie under the collar.
00:35:40But people don't use it anymore
00:35:42because ties are thinner now.
00:35:44This button is still
00:35:46decorative.
00:35:48And here is the first function
00:35:50of the tie.
00:35:52It was invented in Europe
00:35:54in the 17th century
00:35:56to tighten the collar.
00:35:58Then they got used
00:36:00to this part of the outfit
00:36:02and made it an essential
00:36:04accessory of the bourgeoisie.
00:36:06The soft pompoms on the caps
00:36:08were invented several centuries ago.
00:36:10The sailors used them
00:36:12to avoid hitting their heads
00:36:14against the low ceilings
00:36:16and the bowels of the ships.
00:36:18Many belts are made
00:36:20of cedar wood
00:36:22because it contains
00:36:24many natural oils
00:36:26and it's easy
00:36:28to make.
00:36:30Have you ever found
00:36:32these pieces of fabric
00:36:34in new clothes?
00:36:36They are not only spare parts
00:36:38but also samples
00:36:40to be used before washing.
00:36:42You can put this piece
00:36:44in the washing machine
00:36:46and see what happens.
00:36:48If everything goes well,
00:36:50you can wash the clothes
00:36:52without risk.
00:36:54In summer mode,
00:36:56the fan pushes
00:36:58the air down.
00:37:00In winter mode,
00:37:02it pulls the air up.
00:37:04Most people have
00:37:06a round suction cup
00:37:08in their bathroom.
00:37:10In movies,
00:37:12they use it to
00:37:14unclog the toilets.
00:37:16In reality,
00:37:18it's used to unclog the sink.
00:37:20For the toilets,
00:37:22you can put dishes
00:37:24that will be kept warm
00:37:26by the heat of the oven.
00:37:28It's useful if you are
00:37:30waiting for friends
00:37:32who are late for dinner.
00:37:34You take a packet of popcorn
00:37:36out of the microwave
00:37:38after heating it.
00:37:40You see this little hole
00:37:42at the top of the packet?
00:37:44You can use it
00:37:46to get rid
00:37:48of the small,
00:37:50unnecessary parts
00:37:52of your closet.
00:37:54You can put your head
00:37:56forward
00:37:58and your head backward.
00:38:00Try to put your pillow
00:38:02in the other direction.
00:38:04The bow must be
00:38:06under your chin
00:38:08and the two ends
00:38:10must be directed
00:38:12backwards.
00:38:14Put your head forward
00:38:16and this position
00:38:18will increase your traction.
00:38:20Thanks to the perfect design
00:38:22of airplanes,
00:38:24most of them can fly
00:38:26over long distances,
00:38:28even without an engine.
00:38:30In 1268,
00:38:32Roger Bacon made
00:38:34the first mention
00:38:36of the use of
00:38:38telescope lenses
00:38:40for optical purposes.
00:38:42At that time,
00:38:44magnifying lenses
00:38:46were used.
00:38:48If you find yourself
00:38:50in the middle of the sea
00:38:52without food,
00:38:54you can try fishing.
00:38:56You can use anything
00:38:58as bait.
00:39:00Your phone,
00:39:02your watch,
00:39:04your keys.
00:39:06You can use
00:39:08your laces
00:39:10as fishing lines.
00:39:12Tie the bait
00:39:14with a rubber band.
00:39:16Half of the rubber
00:39:18was not created
00:39:20to erase the ink.
00:39:22At first,
00:39:24the blue part
00:39:26erased the inscriptions
00:39:28and the drawings
00:39:30on the thick paper.
00:39:32The red part
00:39:34could not do it
00:39:36without leaving a trace,
00:39:38but the blue part
00:39:40was perfectly
00:39:42preserved.
00:39:44When you put the rod
00:39:46in hot syrup,
00:39:48the liquid flows inside.
00:39:50This creates a strong
00:39:52attachment for the plastic.
00:39:58The cylinder
00:40:00at the end of a cable
00:40:02is placed there
00:40:04and seems totally useless.
00:40:06In fact,
00:40:08it is a ferrite bead
00:40:10with electromagnetic interference.
00:40:12The electric wires
00:40:14act as involuntary antennas
00:40:16and diffuse the emitted energy.
00:40:18There is a reason
00:40:20why the plate inside the microwave
00:40:22is circular.
00:40:24A circular object
00:40:26evenly distributes heat
00:40:28unlike rectangular or square objects.
00:40:30When you place containers
00:40:32with these shapes inside,
00:40:34the energy is concentrated
00:40:36on the corners
00:40:38The temperature gauge
00:40:40of a bread grill
00:40:42is generally used to determine
00:40:44the degree of cooking.
00:40:46But the other more specific
00:40:48use of the gauge
00:40:50is that of different types of bread.
00:40:52White and sweet breads
00:40:54heat up much faster
00:40:56than brown and rye breads.
00:40:58The older the bread,
00:41:00the more time it will take
00:41:02to get the golden result
00:41:04you are looking for.
00:41:06You may think
00:41:08that the goal
00:41:10is to cool the oven
00:41:12after use.
00:41:14In fact,
00:41:16its goal is to focus
00:41:18on the cooking of the top
00:41:20of the dish
00:41:22and ensure a crispy layer.
00:41:24By controlling the accumulation
00:41:26of heat and steam
00:41:28by releasing it through the slightly
00:41:30open door,
00:41:32you get the desired result
00:41:34for each type of dish.
00:41:36But all dishes
00:41:38must be centered
00:41:40and not all in the same direction.
00:41:42The types of food
00:41:44on the plates
00:41:46will also determine
00:41:48their location in the cabinets.
00:41:50As the center of the machine
00:41:52receives the strongest gel,
00:41:54the stains made of glucide
00:41:56from tomatoes and potatoes
00:41:58must be placed here.
00:42:00The detergent is more concentrated
00:42:02in order to create a waterfall-like cleaning.
00:42:04This is why the protein-based stains,
00:42:06such as those of eggs,
00:42:08must be placed here.
00:42:10The ceiling fans
00:42:12push the fresh air down
00:42:14when it is hot,
00:42:16making the room circulate.
00:42:18But they can serve you
00:42:20just as effectively in winter
00:42:22if you engage the switch
00:42:24on the side or use the pull.
00:42:26So if you want to save money
00:42:28on heating
00:42:30put the fan in motion.
00:42:32It will push the air up
00:42:34and spread the hot air around you,
00:42:36thus heating the room more effectively.
00:42:38Do you still use post-it notes
00:42:40instead of these new sophisticated applications
00:42:42on all imaginable devices?
00:42:44Welcome to the club!
00:42:46Whatever you use,
00:42:48they always end up falling.
00:42:50If you have already encountered this problem,
00:42:52it is because you took them off from the bottom up.
00:42:54It is this way of doing things
00:42:56that causes the rust.
00:42:58By the way,
00:43:00make sure they stay flat,
00:43:02ready to remind you of your daily tasks.
00:43:04Did you know that can openers
00:43:06were invented only 50 years
00:43:08after can boxes became commonplace?
00:43:10So how was it possible
00:43:12to open a can box before?
00:43:14There are a few alternative methods
00:43:16in case you missed
00:43:18your faithful can opener.
00:43:20All you need is a metal spoon.
00:43:22Place the can on the worktop,
00:43:24hold it firmly
00:43:26and rub vigorously
00:43:28the edge of the lid
00:43:30on a small surface.
00:43:32It takes time,
00:43:34but by rubbing,
00:43:36a small notch is formed
00:43:38and soon turns into a hole.
00:43:40Once the hole is wide enough
00:43:42to let the tip of the spoon through,
00:43:44put a lever on the lid
00:43:46and continue to lengthen the edges
00:43:48until you can finally access
00:43:50the meal it contains.
00:43:52You've earned it!
00:43:54Toilets depend on the pressure of water
00:43:56and gravity to function.
00:43:58A power failure won't affect them.
00:44:00But if yours need electricity
00:44:02to function,
00:44:04you should worry about their use
00:44:06in case of a power failure.
00:44:08The good news is that electricity
00:44:10is only used to fill the toilets
00:44:12and not to flush.
00:44:14As the mechanism of the water flush
00:44:16still works,
00:44:18open the toilet tank,
00:44:20pour a few liters
00:44:22and flush the toilet.
00:44:24This happens over a long period of time.
00:44:26It's unavoidable.
00:44:28We lose 50 to 100 hairs a day
00:44:30and many of them try to settle
00:44:32in our shower pipes.
00:44:34Hair is the main source of obstruction,
00:44:36which promotes the accumulation
00:44:38of various other things.
00:44:40A good trick is to use your vacuum
00:44:42and put the tip in the hole
00:44:44after removing the grid.
00:44:46Use a damp cloth around the tip
00:44:48making sure the air can't escape.
00:44:50The vacuum cleaner will be able
00:44:52to vacuum things that obstruct
00:44:54much more easily.
00:44:56This way you'll avoid the plumbers
00:44:58who use this technique themselves.
00:45:00To make your candles last longer,
00:45:02cut their wick several times
00:45:04and keep them as far as possible
00:45:06from water and humidity.
00:45:08This will ensure that the wax
00:45:10of your candle remains firm and stable
00:45:12and that it continues to burn
00:45:14more slowly for a longer period.
00:45:16The empty space between the windows
00:45:18is good for a good reason.
00:45:20You can slide a brush in there
00:45:22to clean the window of the oven door.
00:45:24It's easy to access this space
00:45:26from the bottom of the door.
00:45:28Open the lower part and push the brush
00:45:30into the hole.
00:45:32When you park in a garage,
00:45:34it's hard to determine
00:45:36how far you should be.
00:45:38All cars don't have sensors
00:45:40that ensure you're keeping the right distance
00:45:42before the bumper makes a notch
00:45:44on the wall.
00:45:46Having the ceiling at the right distance
00:45:48will help you learn the best distance
00:45:50to keep when parking
00:45:52in relation to the wall.
00:45:54We've all been told to unlock a lock
00:45:56with WD-40 or lubricant.
00:45:58Yes, we all know that we should
00:46:00have some at home.
00:46:02But if you don't have any,
00:46:04an excellent alternative
00:46:06is to draw along the edges of the key
00:46:08with a grey-mined pencil
00:46:10and then insert it into the lock.
00:46:12Keep doing this until the hole
00:46:14has been lubricated and the key works.
00:46:16Pincers can damage
00:46:18the taps and shower heads
00:46:20when you use them to repair them
00:46:22and they're also hard to grab.
00:46:24So take two pieces of the end
00:46:26of an old watering pipe
00:46:28and attach them to the pincers' jaws.
00:46:30You'll see a huge improvement
00:46:32in grip and you'll avoid
00:46:34the risk of wear.
00:46:36You can find a good use
00:46:38of used rubber for different things
00:46:40in the house.
00:46:42When you have enough to tighten
00:46:44or loosen a screw with a screwdriver,
00:46:46try using a simple piece of rubber.
00:46:48Place a part of it
00:46:50in the screwdriver's handle
00:46:52and it will have a much better grip.
00:46:54Moving cement blocks
00:46:56is not safe for the lower back.
00:46:58Even with a wheelbarrow,
00:47:00it can be risky to drop the cement
00:47:02on the ground without damaging it.
00:47:04Three simple cylinder-shaped pipes
00:47:06can make all the difference,
00:47:08no matter the size of the block.
00:47:10Try lifting the edge of the first pipe
00:47:12with a lever, then push
00:47:14and move it by gradually
00:47:16moving the three pipes to the desired place.
00:47:18Just make sure you don't do it
00:47:20in a slope.
00:47:22The first time you hit a nail,
00:47:24it can be a big success or
00:47:26you'll get killed by a nail.
00:47:28A perfect-shaped hair clip
00:47:30keeps the nail in place
00:47:32so you can be safe
00:47:34and hit the nail without fear.
00:47:36Use a pencil instead of a pen
00:47:38when working with a circular saw
00:47:40to make sure the marks
00:47:42are not erased.
00:47:44They will also be easier to see
00:47:46in troubled water.
00:47:48Checking the pipes on the roof
00:47:50and determining when they need to be cleaned
00:47:52can take a lot of time.
00:47:54Use tape to attach a mirror
00:47:56to the end of a broom
00:47:58and check if the gutters need to be cleaned.
00:48:00To help you keep your balance
00:48:02when examining the gutters,
00:48:04attach an old pair of sports shoes
00:48:06to the foot of the ladder.
00:48:08The distance between the shoe
00:48:10and its grip will ensure
00:48:12an additional level of safety.
00:48:14Liquid quenching products
00:48:16usually come in the form of huge tubes
00:48:18so that you can never use them
00:48:20in one go.
00:48:22Liquid-hardened tips
00:48:24create nozzles.
00:48:26Take a used lime nozzle
00:48:28and drill it to make a perfect lid
00:48:30that covers the liquid mastic.
00:48:32It is now ready to be used again
00:48:35There are a lot of amazing things
00:48:37that you can do with products
00:48:39that you have at home
00:48:41and that are intended for other uses.
00:48:43We are going to explore
00:48:45some of these possibilities
00:48:47as well as articles every day
00:48:49that fulfill other functions
00:48:51that you may not be aware of.
00:48:55Many kitchen scissors
00:48:57have a dented opening
00:48:59where the handles and blades meet.
00:49:01You can use it
00:49:03to remove difficult objects
00:49:05like thyme, rosemary and chives.
00:49:07It saves you time
00:49:09trying to remove the leaves by hand.
00:49:11And if you are running out of vases,
00:49:13you can offer roses
00:49:15to the ones you love this way.
00:49:17Just be careful
00:49:19where you point the tip of the scissors.
00:49:21The metallic tongue
00:49:23of soda cans can be turned
00:49:25so that you can slip a straw
00:49:27and therefore avoid
00:49:29carrying the can in your mouth.
00:49:31This action was created
00:49:33in the early 1960s.
00:49:35You remember these, don't you?
00:49:37They were quite sharp
00:49:39and easy to remove
00:49:41so they posed a danger
00:49:43to others.
00:49:45Now you can slip your straw
00:49:47directly into the tongue
00:49:49and also make bubbles.
00:49:51Sometimes when you buy
00:49:53a new garment,
00:49:55a small plastic bag
00:49:57is attached with an extra button
00:49:59that can also be used
00:50:01to test the effects of various detergents
00:50:03on the garment.
00:50:05It is also practical
00:50:07to test the washing programs
00:50:09before washing the entire garment.
00:50:11You can use a screwdriver
00:50:13to lever
00:50:15if you have trouble lifting
00:50:17or moving something.
00:50:19Some also have a handle
00:50:21of hexagonal shape
00:50:23that fits inside a wrench.
00:50:25You can use it to increase
00:50:27or decrease the weight
00:50:29of the garment.
00:50:31Once again, lever
00:50:33is practical for those
00:50:35who don't have much strength
00:50:37in their arms.
00:50:39Elastics are useful
00:50:41for many things
00:50:43but if you have a bottle
00:50:45or a jar that is difficult
00:50:47to open,
00:50:49you can wrap the elastic
00:50:51around the plug
00:50:53for a better grip.
00:50:55People don't always pay attention
00:50:57and sometimes clothes or laces
00:50:59can be dangerously close
00:51:01to the place where the laces
00:51:03meet the edge or the skirt.
00:51:05The brush is a little safety
00:51:07to prevent this from happening.
00:51:09It can also prevent pieces of plush
00:51:11or other small elements
00:51:13from falling into the gaps.
00:51:15Your jeans have several features
00:51:17that are very functional
00:51:19although a little out of fashion.
00:51:21The metal rivets around the pockets
00:51:23allow them to last a little longer
00:51:25than the average,
00:51:27although not all jeans are equipped with them.
00:51:29Many jeans still have a tiny pocket
00:51:31directly above the main pocket.
00:51:33Originally,
00:51:35it was intended to contain
00:51:37a watch.
00:51:39Although most of these watches
00:51:41belong to the past,
00:51:43many people still use this space
00:51:45to store coins, a ring
00:51:47or even a mini USB key.
00:51:49It may seem a little obvious
00:51:51but if you're wondering
00:51:53what all the grooves on a car tyre
00:51:55are for, it's for road grip.
00:51:57That said,
00:51:59they are also a good indicator
00:52:01of the wear of your tyre.
00:52:03If these grooves are no longer as deep
00:52:05and they almost cover the road,
00:52:07it's time to change your tyres.
00:52:09If you don't,
00:52:11the next time you try to stop
00:52:13suddenly at a red light,
00:52:15you may be surprised to see
00:52:17that your car has turned
00:52:19These boxes, often associated
00:52:21with Chinese restaurants,
00:52:23are designed not only to carry
00:52:25your food home
00:52:27but also to keep it in the fridge.
00:52:29They also serve as a plate
00:52:31because you can eat directly
00:52:33without worrying about the dirty dishes.
00:52:35They were patented in 1894
00:52:37to carry
00:52:39freshly chopped oysters
00:52:41and were known as
00:52:43oyster sauce.
00:52:45They were then adapted
00:52:47for food.
00:52:49When you're sitting in a plane
00:52:51and you look out the window,
00:52:53you may have noticed these little holes
00:52:55or, in some cases,
00:52:57a singular opening at the bottom.
00:52:59It's called an air hole
00:53:01and it's designed
00:53:03to equalize the difference
00:53:05in air pressure between
00:53:07the pressurized cabin
00:53:09and the outside atmosphere,
00:53:11especially at high altitudes.
00:53:13It also releases humidity
00:53:15between the windows
00:53:17to prevent frost from forming
00:53:19on the windows and obstructing
00:53:21such a beautiful view.
00:53:23Sorry, but you won't be able
00:53:25to draw a smiley face right away.
00:53:27The first cutter was introduced
00:53:29in 1956
00:53:31by a Japanese company.
00:53:33They were inspired
00:53:35by chocolate tablet squares.
00:53:37Almost all the ribbons
00:53:39to be measured
00:53:41have an empty slot
00:53:43and are made of metal.
00:53:45It's called a nail clip
00:53:47and you can attach it
00:53:49to a nail or a screw.
00:53:51It's a practical trick
00:53:53to measure without needing
00:53:55anyone else to hold it in place.
00:53:57Hair clips have grooves
00:53:59on one of the branches
00:54:01to better hold your hair in place.
00:54:03The straight side
00:54:05must be at the top
00:54:07while the grooves must be
00:54:09against your head.
00:54:11It's called a bob cut
00:54:13because of the bob hairstyle.
00:54:15It's the square cut
00:54:17that was popular in the 1920s
00:54:19even though hair clips
00:54:21were invented in the 19th century.
00:54:23Don't forget to remove them
00:54:25before washing your hair.
00:54:27If you've ever noticed
00:54:29the black dots on the windshield
00:54:31of a car or a bus,
00:54:33you've probably realized
00:54:35that it's not for decoration.
00:54:37It's called a fritz
00:54:39because it's ceramic.
00:54:41Its main purpose
00:54:43is to protect the windows
00:54:45from ultraviolet rays.
00:54:47It also creates a rough surface
00:54:49where the adhesive can stick.
00:54:51If you see a piece of pink adhesive
00:54:53in a corner,
00:54:55don't touch it.
00:54:57It's probably someone's old chewing gum.
00:54:59If you take a look
00:55:01at the bottom of a lock,
00:55:03there's a good chance
00:55:05you'll see one or two little holes.
00:55:07This is because of the rain.
00:55:09This mini drainage system
00:55:11prevents the internal system
00:55:13from rusting or freezing
00:55:15when it's very cold.
00:55:17And if the lock gets stuck,
00:55:19you can put an oil-based product
00:55:21inside to lubricate it
00:55:23and make it work again.
00:55:27If you've lost the key
00:55:29and you want to ease your frustration,
00:55:31you can scream in the holes.
00:55:33It won't open,
00:55:35and you'll feel a little better.
00:55:37Some shirts have a fabric loop
00:55:39in the collar.
00:55:41It's used to suspend the shirt.
00:55:43The loops would have been used
00:55:45for the first time in the Navy
00:55:47because it was easy
00:55:49to simply hang them on the wall.
00:55:51In the 1960s colleges,
00:55:53the fashion was to wear
00:55:55the buttoned shirt up to the top,
00:55:57which made it all the more complicated.
00:55:59So the designers
00:56:01started to put the loop
00:56:03around their neck.
00:56:05If the student took the loop off,
00:56:07it meant they were in a stable relationship.
00:56:09Unless one of his friends
00:56:11took it off
00:56:13to make a joke out of him.
00:56:15And now everyone wonders
00:56:17who they're dating.
00:56:21Have you ever wondered
00:56:23why coins have these little grooves
00:56:25on the edges?
00:56:27It's a vestige of the old days
00:56:29when they were more valuable.
00:56:31Today, you can simply file the edges
00:56:33of coins to make new ones
00:56:35out of gold or silver.
00:56:37The grooves were created
00:56:39to make it much easier
00:56:41to tell if a coin has been filed.
00:56:43It's no longer necessary today,
00:56:45but coins still have this detail.
00:56:47And if you ever get bored,
00:56:49you can try to count
00:56:51the number of grooves.
00:56:53Or you can watch
00:56:55another cool video.
00:56:57The new iPhone models,
00:56:59which have no screen,
00:57:01have a practical feature
00:57:03called accessibility.
00:57:05Thanks to this feature,
00:57:07you won't have to struggle
00:57:09to reach the top of the screen.
00:57:11This feature is in the phone's
00:57:13accessibility settings.
00:57:15It allows you to reach the elements
00:57:17located at the top of the screen
00:57:19by swiping down
00:57:21on the bottom edge of the screen.
00:57:23The stripes on the side of the road
00:57:25are there to wake up
00:57:27the driver.
00:57:29Most kitchen chisels
00:57:31have metal teeth in the middle.
00:57:33They allow you to use
00:57:35the utensil in multiple ways.
00:57:37They are placed between the handle
00:57:39to allow you to break nuts,
00:57:41crab shells, etc.
00:57:43You can also open jars
00:57:45and bottles with their help.
00:57:47Some people even use these teeth
00:57:49to remove the aroma stems.
00:57:51If your audio jack has three rings,
00:57:53it means that your device
00:57:55has a stereo sound
00:57:57and your headphones
00:57:59have a microphone function.
00:58:01The black grid on the door
00:58:03of a microwave oven
00:58:05is called a Faraday cage.
00:58:07It prevents microwaves
00:58:09from escaping.
00:58:11If this were the case,
00:58:13your food wouldn't cook properly.
00:58:15The numbers on an egg
00:58:17can teach you a lot about the product.
00:58:19In many countries,
00:58:21there is a special
00:58:23registration number
00:58:25that tells you where
00:58:27the hen comes from.
00:58:29The first number
00:58:31can vary from 0 to 3.
00:58:330 means it's an organic egg.
00:58:351 means it's a hen
00:58:37raised in the open air.
00:58:392 means it's an egg
00:58:41produced in a deep-bath
00:58:43henhouse.
00:58:453 means you're about to buy
00:58:47a battery-powered egg.
00:58:49The black strip
00:58:51is a ceramic paint
00:58:53baked in the oven.
00:58:55It's a solid black strip
00:58:57near the edge of the windshield.
00:58:59It then dissolves into small dots.
00:59:01The dots make the glass rougher
00:59:03and the adhesive adheres better.
00:59:05The dots protect the urethane mastic.
00:59:07It's the substance that
00:59:09holds the glass in place.
00:59:11It also prevents the ultraviolet rays
00:59:13from melting the glue.
00:59:15The black dots help to distribute
00:59:17the temperature evenly in the car.
00:59:19The black dots are also
00:59:21very aesthetic.
00:59:23Without them, the contrast
00:59:25between the glass and the dark strip
00:59:27would be too obvious.
00:59:29If you see a jean with
00:59:31an extra buckle,
00:59:33it's a special jean for cyclists.
00:59:35It probably belongs to a line
00:59:37of clothing for those
00:59:39who go to work by bike.
00:59:41The main goal of the buckle
00:59:43is to hold your bike lock.
00:59:45Many lightning fasteners
00:59:47can be attached with a lock
00:59:49and push the pickpockets back.
00:59:51The keys are equipped with small feet.
00:59:53They were designed to allow you
00:59:55to tilt your keyboard.
00:59:57You can see the keys you hit.
00:59:59On the other hand, a flat keyboard
01:00:01doesn't tire your wrists as much.
01:00:03People who can type without looking
01:00:05at the keyboard don't need these feet.
01:00:07An olive spoon is also
01:00:09made of stainless steel
01:00:11and its bowl-shaped head
01:00:13is pierced with a small hole.
01:00:15The main purpose of this tool
01:00:17is to lift the olives, cherries,
01:00:19pickles and other products
01:00:21contained in jars, cans
01:00:23or liquid-filled bowls.
01:00:25The hole in the middle
01:00:27allows you to quickly and easily
01:00:29remove the liquid that accumulates
01:00:31in the spoon.
01:00:33The beignets have a ring shape
01:00:35because otherwise they would be
01:00:37overcooked on the edges
01:00:39and would remain raw and sticky
01:00:41inside. By making a hole in the center,
01:00:43the beignets will be cooked at the same time.
01:00:45Round beignets without a hole
01:00:47are usually filled with pastry cream,
01:00:49whipped cream or jelly.
01:00:51These beignets have no corners,
01:00:53which means there are fewer weak spots
01:00:55from which the filling can flow.
01:00:57If you grab a can of fruit juice
01:00:59a little too firmly,
01:01:01you could have liquid sticking everywhere.
01:01:03To avoid this kind of situation,
01:01:05lift the tabs on the sides of the can.
01:01:07You can use them to hold your drink.
01:01:09Some cars have a small coffee cup
01:01:11sign on the dashboard.
01:01:13It's the vehicle's anti-sleeping mechanism.
01:01:15Some manufacturers
01:01:17equip their cars with a
01:01:19sleep detection system.
01:01:21It analyzes speed,
01:01:23wheel angle and trajectory deviations
01:01:25and determines if it's time
01:01:27for the driver to take a break.
01:01:29If this is the case,
01:01:31the vehicle emits several sound signals
01:01:33and the coffee cup sign starts flashing.
01:01:35The stickers on the fruits and vegetables
01:01:37you buy at the supermarket
01:01:39If there is a 4-digit code on the sticker,
01:01:41the product has been grown
01:01:43in the most common way.
01:01:45In most cases,
01:01:47this also means that pesticides
01:01:49have been used in the process.
01:01:51If the product is organic,
01:01:53its sticker has 5 digits
01:01:55and the first is 9.
01:01:57Genetically modified products
01:01:59also have a 5-digit code,
01:02:01but the first is 8.
01:02:03Sugar used to be sold
01:02:05in the form of sugar bread.
01:02:07At the time,
01:02:09people had to use special hammers
01:02:11to break a piece of bread.
01:02:13Then they cut the sugar into smaller
01:02:15and prettier pieces.
01:02:17It was only in the mid-19th century
01:02:19that people invented the first press
01:02:21that cut sugar into pieces.
01:02:23This made it easier
01:02:25to store and transport.
01:02:27A small hole at the other end of your key
01:02:29can provide your screwdriver
01:02:31with a few extra turns.
01:02:33You just have to slide the end
01:02:35on the screwdriver.
01:02:37You can also use this method
01:02:39when the angle is delicate.
01:02:41When you drive in the dark,
01:02:43you can be blinded by the headlights
01:02:45of the car behind you.
01:02:47If you have a manual rear-view mirror,
01:02:49find the tab at the bottom
01:02:51and tilt it.
01:02:53The mirror has a reflective material
01:02:55behind its glass.
01:02:57By tilting the tab,
01:02:59you will change the angle
01:03:01of this material,
01:03:03the color indicates the size of the spoon.
01:03:05This way, you can easily determine
01:03:07the number of spoons you will need
01:03:09to fill a kilogram.
01:03:11Wow, a sundae of a kilo!
01:03:13I want it, I want it, I want it!
01:03:15Some small tube caps
01:03:17are hollow on top
01:03:19and have a small tip inside.
01:03:21Their purpose is to break the aluminum
01:03:23that seals the tube.
01:03:25The cap fits perfectly into this hole
01:03:27and the tip is designed to break the seal.
01:03:29This way, you don't have to
01:03:31tear the aluminum with your fingers.
01:03:33The letter R in a circle
01:03:35on the packaging of a product
01:03:37means that the brand is officially
01:03:39registered. Once this is done,
01:03:41the brand owner has the right
01:03:43to place this letter on all their products.
01:03:45They can also sue
01:03:47anyone who tries to use their brand.
01:03:49A gas pump usually
01:03:51has a small latch
01:03:53or metal hook on its handle.
01:03:55It's a trigger lock.
01:03:57You can use it to lock the handle
01:03:59or to open it.
01:04:01The gas will continue to be pumped
01:04:03even if you move away.
01:04:05In the past, coins had rather
01:04:07incongruous shapes or had no shape at all.
01:04:09Dishonest people
01:04:11used it to their advantage.
01:04:13They denied the precious metals
01:04:15that the coins were made of by scratching the edges.
01:04:17It was illegal and to avoid
01:04:19this kind of fraud,
01:04:21round coins were invented.
01:04:23After that, it became easy
01:04:25to notice instantly that a coin
01:04:27had a hole in it.
01:04:29The two holes in a lace stick
01:04:31are there to hold the plug in place.
01:04:33When the stick is dipped in hot liquid syrup,
01:04:35it flows into the holes
01:04:37and solidifies.
01:04:39Now your candy is there to stay.
01:04:41The fabric squares that go with the clothes
01:04:43are there so that you can try
01:04:45your cleaning products on them first.
01:04:47This way, you won't ruin all your clothes
01:04:49when you decide to wash them.
01:04:51The hole in the back of the headphones
01:04:53allows the air to circulate in the speakers.
01:04:55It increases the bass frequencies
01:04:57and makes the bass sound deeper.
01:04:59The sound quality also improves.
01:05:01Am I not a great voice?
01:05:03Thank you!
01:05:05You can adjust your stapler
01:05:07so that it only staples the documents together temporarily.
01:05:09To do this, just rotate the stapling area.
01:05:11Most staplers
01:05:13offer two options for this.
01:05:15One is standard,
01:05:17but the other allows you to fold the staples
01:05:19by moving them away from the center.
01:05:21Later, when you don't need them anymore,
01:05:23you can easily remove them by hand.
01:05:25If you store peanut butter cans upside down,
01:05:27the oil will move to the bottom
01:05:29and all the solids will be on top.
01:05:31Don't laugh,
01:05:33it's very important for some people.
