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 some 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 the smells that someone even invented a soap made of stainless steel.

00:00:39Trying to squeeze all the juice of a lemon without a 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 press 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, twist 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 irritating 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 and even remove the annoying residue from stickers.

00:04:27They can also clean the dung and dung and the dirt that you can have on your walls.

00:04:32Oh oh, your lightning fastener is still stuck and you're late.

00:04:36Who has time to take care of that now?

00:04:38Well, the sulfurized paper.

00:04:41Try 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, pass 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 mostly made of brass and it's no coincidence.

00:05:33Of course, that adds a nice golden sparkle to a piece, but it also has a practical reason.

00:05:39Brass is generally durable and, above all, it resists all humidity and human hands' oils.

00:05:44It's also antibacterial, so 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 cupboards, sliding a soap bar inside will leave a refreshing smell on your clothes.

00:06:08Nail varnish is not only for beauty.

00:06:11Thanks to its adhesive and waterproof properties, it's ideal if you need to make a protective seal or stick things together.

00:06:19No need to lick envelopes, nail varnish is here.

00:06:22It can also keep the mount of your glasses tighter, repair 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 when you buy a new pair of shoes.

00:06:35It's recommended to keep them, because silica gel is excellent for absorbing the humidity of the environment.

00:06:41It can also be used for many other things than shoes.

00:06:45You know that everyone says that if you drop your phone in water, you have to put it in a bowl with rice?

00:06:50Rice is supposed to extract water from the phone, but silica is even more effective at absorbing humidity.

00:06:56You can also put bags of silica in your sport bag to prevent bad smells from accumulating.

00:07:01However, make sure to always be careful with silica gel.

00:07:04The warning label clearly indicates that you should not consume it because it contains toxic additives.

00:07:10You are writing a dissertation on your computer, you're almost done and...

00:07:14Oh no, there is no internet!

00:07:16No problem, there is an easy way to pass the time.

00:07:19If you use Google Chrome, you will see a small T-Rex appear in your browser, right next to... no internet.

00:07:25When the T-Rex appears, just press the space key on the keyboard to launch a mini platform game.

00:07:31You have to help the T-Rex run without bumping into a cactus on your way.

00:07:35Ok, connection, no need to come back, I have records to beat.

00:07:39We all know what a thermos is for, but it was not invented to keep your coffee warm.

00:07:44It was made by a Scottish scientist who simply wanted a safe place to keep his chemical products at a stable temperature.

00:07:51So he took two bottles, put the smallest in the largest and sucked the air between the two.

00:07:57Ah, thank you for helping me keep my coffee warm.

00:08:01More than 40 billion Oreo biscuits are made every year.

00:08:04It is the most popular industrial biscuit in the world.

00:08:07The geometric pattern stamped on these biscuits is the Nabisco logo.

00:08:11Symbol of European quality, which encircles the word Oreo.

00:08:15It was in 1952 that William Turnier created the chocolate biscuit design that we know today.

00:08:21Wireless headphones could soon belong to the past, because of wireless technology.

00:08:26But if you still have some, you may have noticed the rings on the headphones.

00:08:31One ring symbolizes a mono sound, two rings symbolize a stereo sound,

00:08:35and three rings mean that you have a stereo sound and an integrated microphone.

00:08:39The iconic rings orange, red, purple, yellow and lime green of the Froot Loops cereals hide a secret.

00:08:46They do not represent different fruit flavors.

00:08:49All these rings have the same fruit flavors mixed together.

00:08:52The colors are just there to make it pretty.

00:08:54The E of the Dell logo is tilted because the founder, Michael Dell, wanted his technology to reverse the world.

00:09:02A compass uses magnets to point to the magnetic north, but it is not exactly the geographic north.

00:09:08The north pole of the magnet of a compass points to the north because the north and the south attract each other.

00:09:13The south magnetic pole of the earth is close to the geographical north,

00:09:17while the north magnetic pole is close to the geographical south of the earth.

00:09:21Confusing, isn't it?

00:09:23These little red spots that you sometimes see after breaking an egg should not worry you.

00:09:27The tiny blood stains can be caused by a small rupture of a blood vessel of the hen while she laid the egg.

00:09:34Eggs with these blood stains can be consumed without danger.

00:09:37But you can remove this stain if you want.

00:09:39It will not affect the taste of the egg.

00:09:41Ketchup is a word from many cultures, including China, Malaysia and Indonesia.

00:09:47It originally meant a sauce of marinated fish.

00:09:50Ketchup is also an acceptable spelling used,

00:09:53even if ketchup is the most popular way of spelling nowadays.

00:09:58The Derby & B logo is not a folded trombone as it may seem at first glance.

00:10:03The BELO, as it is called, for Belonging, means more than that,

00:10:07since it contains the face of a person, the symbol of localization and a heart for love.

00:10:12All together, they form the emblematic A of Derby & B and the symbol of conviviality.

00:10:18The food coloring E120 or natural red 4, a.k.a. carmine, is made from tiny beetles.

00:10:25It has been used to color many things.

00:10:28Cakes, candies and drinks.

00:10:31This shine on the candies also comes from the insects.

00:10:34This time, it is the female of the caterpillar, Keryalaka.

00:10:37This coleopterus leaves behind a substance that is scratched on the trees

00:10:41to be transformed into dried gum, which gives this shiny look.

00:10:45The Mozia Firefox logo is not a fox that surrounds the planet.

00:10:49It is a pandaroo.

00:10:50The name Firefox is the English translation of its Chinese name.

00:10:54The sewer covers in the street are round for safety reasons.

00:10:58In past civilizations, such as Ancient Rome,

00:11:00the sewer covers were square-shaped stone plates.

00:11:03Unfortunately, they were prone to accidents.

00:11:06If they were not placed correctly, a square cover could slide diagonally into the hole.

00:11:11The generalization of round covers eliminated this problem,

00:11:15since in the absence of angles, they cannot fall into the hole.

00:11:18The tomato is technically not a vegetable, but a fruit.

00:11:21The banana trees are not related to palm trees or trees.

00:11:24They are herbs.

00:11:25The banana tree is considered a herb,

00:11:27because it never develops a truncated trunk like a tree.

00:11:31Instead, it forms a fleshy, so-called succulent stem,

00:11:34like citronelle or its cousin, ginger.

00:11:37They can also be considered as berries.

00:11:39The color of the Golden Gate Bridge was not supposed to be the orange-red it is today.

00:11:44Many other original colors have been suggested,

00:11:47such as black with yellow stripes,

00:11:49or even the orange sugar pattern,

00:11:51to make it visible for ships and planes passing by,

00:11:54especially in the frequent fog of San Francisco.

00:11:57But when the steel arrived,

00:11:58covered with an orange coating to protect it from rust,

00:12:01the architect preferred the color International Orange,

00:12:04and it remained.

00:12:06The legs at the back of the keyboards are not designed to relieve your wrists.

00:12:10Using these legs for too long can tire them and slow down the strike.

00:12:14These articulated legs are simply there to help you see letters and numbers better

00:12:18if you do not know how to type blindly.

00:12:20The color of a pepper does not reveal anything about its taste or heat.

00:12:24In general, the smaller a pepper is, the stronger it will be.

00:12:28The heat does not come from seeds, as we believe,

00:12:30but from white membranes that retain them.

00:12:33Hidden in the Toblerone logo of the mountain

00:12:35is the image of a bear standing on its hind legs.

00:12:38This is because bears are very important to Bern,

00:12:41one of the largest cities in Switzerland,

00:12:43where the founder created the famous triangular chocolate bar.

00:12:46Toblerone is also a pun on the founder's family name,

00:12:49Tobler, and the Italian word Torrone,

00:12:52which means a variety of nougat.

00:12:54The empty space under a cup of nougat

00:12:56is there to protect the nougat during transport.

00:12:59This technique is called an intermediate suspension.

00:13:02Not only are they better protected in their polystyrene cupboards,

00:13:05but it also helps these nougat to soften more uniformly and more quickly.

00:13:09If you think that the hole in the body of the ballpoint pen was useless,

00:13:13you're wrong.

00:13:14It's what we call an aeration system,

00:13:16which helps the ink to flow more easily.

00:13:19This way, the air pressure is balanced

00:13:21between the inside and the outside of the pen,

00:13:24which allows the ink to flow easily to the tip.

00:13:27One of the most recognized logos in the world of cycling

00:13:30has a hidden element.

00:13:32In the name of the Tour de France,

00:13:34the letters O, U and R form a cyclist.

00:13:37The metal supports on the top of the pistols in the service stations

00:13:40have a unique design and a very precise function.

00:13:43If a distracted driver forgets that the pistol is still inside his tank

00:13:47and starts to ride,

00:13:49the magnetic supports separate

00:13:51without damaging any part of the fuel pump.

00:13:54The Wendy's logo pays tribute to the daughter of the creator, Dave Thomas.

00:13:58It comes from his nickname.

00:14:00But there is more than that.

00:14:02Wendy's necklace forms the word Mom.

00:14:04Although it was not intentional,

00:14:06it has become a trademark of the chain of restaurants.

00:14:09Finding the right road to get out of the highway

00:14:12can be sometimes confusing,

00:14:14especially in a foreign country.

00:14:16Be careful where the exit signs are on the side of the road.

00:14:19It will be the way you will have to find yourself.

00:14:22Some toothpaste are equipped with a small operculum

00:14:25that must be removed before you can use them.

00:14:27Instead of damaging your nails,

00:14:29know that the toothpaste cap has a small tip on top

00:14:32that is used to pierce the operculum.

00:14:35The Toastitos chips have a hidden symbol in the middle of their logo.

00:14:39The two T's in the middle look like two people

00:14:42who are eating Toastitos around a bowl of sauce.

00:14:45The sauce bowl is red and forms the dot on the I.

00:14:48One of the most emblematic monuments in the world,

00:14:50the Statue of Liberty,

00:14:52worked for 16 years as an entirely operational lighthouse.

00:14:56However, the light was barely visible,

00:14:58even since Manhattan.

00:15:00In 1901, it was finally put out of service as a lighthouse.

00:15:04Tourists could even visit the lighthouse

00:15:06to have an impregnable view of the city.

00:15:08But an accident damaged the lighthouse in 1916

00:15:11and it has been closed to the public since.

00:15:13The label,

00:15:14do not remove under penalty of judicial prosecution,

00:15:17on the mattresses,

00:15:18is not placed there for the consumer

00:15:20and does not cancel your warranty if you remove it either.

00:15:23In the 1900s,

00:15:24manufacturers created refilling

00:15:26with practically anything.

00:15:28Animal hairs,

00:15:29old hospital beds,

00:15:30or clothes.

00:15:31This was not important at the time.

00:15:33Strict laws gave birth to these labels

00:15:36to prevent recycled materials from being reused

00:15:39and sold as new.

00:15:40Toyota's logo

00:15:42is more than a simple random combination of circles.

00:15:45The three overlapping ovals

00:15:47symbolize the fusion of the hearts of customers and Toyota.

00:15:50A California Sushi Roll

00:15:52is made of seaweed,

00:15:53rice,

00:15:54cucumber,

00:15:55avocado,

00:15:56and crab meat.

00:15:57Except it's not crab meat at all.

00:15:59Surimi is an imitation of crab meat.

00:16:02It is made of white fish mixed with sugar

00:16:04instead of crustaceans.

00:16:06The fish mixture is then heated and pressed

00:16:09to shape it.

00:16:10The Beats logo

00:16:12is simply a tiny B inside a red circle.

00:16:15The circle represents a human head

00:16:17and the B in the shape of an earpiece.

00:16:19All these little black dots

00:16:21on the side of the car windows

00:16:22are called chips.

00:16:23It's painted black enamel

00:16:25that is put on windshields during manufacturing.

00:16:28It blocks ultraviolet rays

00:16:30and distributes temperatures between metal and glass.

00:16:33There are 24 symbols hidden in the Unilever logo.

00:16:37A sun,

00:16:38a dove,

00:16:39a plant,

00:16:40a spark,

00:16:41a pepper,

00:16:42a spoon,

00:16:43a bowl,

00:16:44a flower,

00:16:45an ice cream,

00:16:46a hand,

00:16:47hair,

00:16:48lips,

00:16:49a whirlpool,

00:16:50a fish,

00:16:51clothes,

00:16:52a bee,

00:16:53particles,

00:16:54a packaging,

00:16:55a transformation,

00:16:56waves,

00:16:57DNA extract,

00:16:58palm trees,

00:16:59and a recycling symbol.

00:17:00They are supposed to represent the values

00:17:02and products of the company.

00:17:04The hair clips are designed

00:17:06so that the zigzag part

00:17:08is placed on your scalp

00:17:10and not the flat part.

00:17:11This gives a better grip

00:17:12on the hair and skin,

00:17:13which means that the clip

00:17:15stays in place longer.

00:17:17The new iPhone models,

00:17:18with large screens,

00:17:20have a practical option

00:17:21called accessibility.

00:17:23Thanks to this function,

00:17:24you won't have to struggle

00:17:25to reach the top of the screen.

00:17:27This function is found

00:17:28in the phone's accessibility settings.

00:17:30It allows you to reach the elements

00:17:32located at the top of the screen

00:17:34by swiping down

00:17:36on the lower edge of the screen.

00:17:38The straps on the side of the road

00:17:40are there to wake up

00:17:41the sleeping drivers

00:17:42who are suffocating behind the wheel.

00:17:44When your tires drift on these straps,

00:17:46the noise and vibrations

00:17:47work like an alarm clock.

00:17:49Most kitchen scissors

00:17:50have metal teeth

00:17:52in the shape of pliers in the middle.

00:17:54They allow you to use the utensil

00:17:56with multiple ends.

00:17:57They are placed between the handle handles

00:17:59to allow you to break nuts,

00:18:01crab shells, etc.

00:18:03You can also open jars

00:18:05and bottles with their help.

00:18:07Some people even use these teeth

00:18:09to remove the aroma stems.

00:18:11If your audio jack has three rings,

00:18:13this means that your device

00:18:14can produce a stereo sound

00:18:16and your headphones

00:18:17fill the microphone function.

00:18:19The black grid on the door

00:18:20of a microwave oven

00:18:21is called a Faraday cage.

00:18:23It prevents microwaves

00:18:24from escaping.

00:18:25If this were the case,

00:18:26your food would not cook properly.

00:18:28The numbers on an egg

00:18:29can teach you a lot about the product.

00:18:31In many countries,

00:18:32there is a special

00:18:33ticking system.

00:18:35The first number

00:18:36indicates the method of production.

00:18:38The next two-letter code

00:18:39indicates the country

00:18:40where the egg was produced.

00:18:42And finally,

00:18:43there is a registration number.

00:18:45It indicates the establishment

00:18:46of where the hen comes from.

00:18:48The first number of this code

00:18:49can vary from 0 to 3.

00:18:510 means that

00:18:52it is a biological egg.

00:18:541 means that

00:18:55it is an egg raised in the open air,

00:18:56which means that

00:18:57it was produced by a hen

00:18:58that was allowed

00:18:59to lay eggs outside.

00:19:012 means that

00:19:02it is an egg produced

00:19:03in a henhouse

00:19:04in a deep litter box.

00:19:053 means that

00:19:06you are about to buy

00:19:07an egg raised in a battery.

00:19:08The black strip

00:19:09that runs along

00:19:10the edges of your windshield

00:19:11is called the chip.

00:19:12It is a ceramic paint

00:19:13baked in the oven

00:19:14that first appears

00:19:15in the form of a solid black strip

00:19:17near the edge of the windshield.

00:19:19It then dissolves

00:19:20into small dots.

00:19:21The chip makes the glass

00:19:22rougher

00:19:23and the adhesive

00:19:24adheres better to it.

00:19:25The chip protects

00:19:26the urethane mastic.

00:19:27It is the substance

00:19:28that fixes the glass

00:19:29to the frame.

00:19:30It also prevents

00:19:31the ultraviolet rays

00:19:32of the sun

00:19:33from melting the glue.

00:19:34As for the black dots,

00:19:35they help to distribute

00:19:36the temperature

00:19:37more evenly

00:19:38in the car.

00:19:39They are also

00:19:40very aesthetic.

00:19:41Without them,

00:19:42the contrast

00:19:43between the glass

00:19:44and the dark strip

00:19:45would be too obvious.

00:19:46If you see a jean

00:19:47with an additional loop,

00:19:48these are special jeans

00:19:49for cyclists.

00:19:50It is likely

00:19:51that it belongs

00:19:52to a line of clothing

00:19:53for those

00:19:54who go to work on a bike.

00:19:55The main objective

00:19:56of the loop

00:19:57is to hold

00:19:58your bike lock.

00:19:59Many light closures

00:20:00have external rings,

00:20:01especially if these zips

00:20:02are supposed

00:20:03to be used together.

00:20:04These rings

00:20:05are added

00:20:06so that you can

00:20:07attach them

00:20:08with a lock

00:20:09and push back

00:20:10the pickpockets.

00:20:11The keyboards

00:20:12are equipped

00:20:13with small feet.

00:20:14They were designed

00:20:15to allow you

00:20:16to tilt your keyboard

00:20:17so you can see

00:20:18the keys you hit.

00:20:19On the other hand,

00:20:20a flat keyboard

00:20:21does not strain

00:20:22the wrists as much

00:20:23and people

00:20:24who can type

00:20:25without looking at the keyboard

00:20:26do not need

00:20:27these feet at all.

00:20:28An olive spoon

00:20:29is also made

00:20:30of stainless steel

00:20:31and its bowl-shaped head

00:20:32is drilled

00:20:33into a small hole.

00:20:34The main objective

00:20:35of this device

00:20:36is to lift

00:20:37the olives,

00:20:38cherries,

00:20:39pickles

00:20:40and other products

00:20:41contained in jars,

00:20:42tin boxes

00:20:43or liquid-filled bowls.

00:20:44The hole in the middle

00:20:45allows you

00:20:46to quickly and easily

00:20:47remove the liquid

00:20:48that accumulates

00:20:49in the spoon.

00:20:50What will people

00:20:51imagine next?

00:20:52The beignets

00:20:53are ring-shaped

00:20:54because otherwise

00:20:55they would be

00:20:56overcooked on the edges

00:20:57and would remain

00:20:58raw and sticky

00:20:59inside.

00:21:00By making a hole

00:21:01in the middle,

00:21:02the outside

00:21:03and the inside

00:21:04will be cooked

00:21:05at the same time.

00:21:06Round beignets

00:21:07without holes

00:21:08are usually

00:21:09stuffed with

00:21:10pastry cream,

00:21:11whipped cream

00:21:12or jelly.

00:21:13These beignets

00:21:14have no corners,

00:21:15which means

00:21:16that there are

00:21:17fewer weak spots

00:21:18where the filling

00:21:19will stick.

00:21:20If you press

00:21:21the beignets

00:21:22a little too firmly,

00:21:23you could have

00:21:24sticky liquid

00:21:25everywhere.

00:21:26To avoid

00:21:27this kind of situation,

00:21:28remove the tabs

00:21:29on the sides

00:21:30of the tin box.

00:21:31You can use them

00:21:32to hold your drink.

00:21:33Some cars

00:21:34have a small coffee cup

00:21:35sign on the dashboard.

00:21:36This is the vehicle's

00:21:37anti-sleeping mechanism.

00:21:38Some manufacturers

00:21:39equip their cars

00:21:40with a sleep detection

00:21:41system.

00:21:42It analyzes

00:21:43the speed,

00:21:44the angle of the wheels

00:21:45and the deviation

00:21:46of the trajectory

00:21:47and determines

00:21:48the direction

00:21:49of the vehicle.

00:21:50If this is the case,

00:21:51the vehicle emits

00:21:52several sound signals

00:21:53and the coffee cup sign

00:21:54starts to blink.

00:21:55The stickers

00:21:56on the fruits and vegetables

00:21:57you buy at the supermarket

00:21:58are filled with information.

00:21:59If there is

00:22:00a 4-digit code

00:22:01on the sticker,

00:22:02the product has been

00:22:03grown in the most

00:22:04common way.

00:22:05In most cases,

00:22:06this also means

00:22:07that pesticides

00:22:08have been used

00:22:09in the process.

00:22:10If the product is organic,

00:22:11its sticker

00:22:12has 5 digits

00:22:13and the first

00:22:14is the 9.

00:22:15Genetically modified

00:22:16products

00:22:17also have

00:22:18a 5-digit code

00:22:19but the first

00:22:20is the 8.

00:22:21In the past,

00:22:22sugar was sold

00:22:23in the form

00:22:24of sugar bread.

00:22:25They were

00:22:26high and hard cones.

00:22:27At the time,

00:22:28to make

00:22:29their tea sugar,

00:22:30people first

00:22:31had to use

00:22:32special hammers

00:22:33to break a bread.

00:22:34Then,

00:22:35they cut the sugar

00:22:36into smaller

00:22:37and prettier pieces.

00:22:38It was only

00:22:39in the middle

00:22:40of the 19th century

00:22:41that people

00:22:42invented

00:22:43the first press

00:22:44that cut sugar

00:22:45into pieces.

00:22:47A small hole

00:22:48at the other end

00:22:49of your key

00:22:50can provide

00:22:51your screwdriver

00:22:52with a few

00:22:53additional turns.

00:22:54You just have to slide

00:22:55the end with the hole

00:22:56on the screwdriver.

00:22:57You can also use

00:22:58this method

00:22:59when the angle

00:23:00is delicate.

00:23:01When you drive

00:23:02in the dark,

00:23:03you can be blinded

00:23:04by the headlights

00:23:05of the car

00:23:06following you.

00:23:07If you have

00:23:08a manual mirror,

00:23:09find the tab

00:23:10at the bottom

00:23:11and tilt it.

00:23:12The mirror

00:23:13has a reflective material

00:23:14behind its glass.

00:23:15This dims

00:23:16the lights

00:23:17of the mirror.

00:23:18Most of the

00:23:19glass spoons

00:23:20come in different colors.

00:23:21This has nothing

00:23:22to do with aesthetics.

00:23:23The color

00:23:24indicates the size

00:23:25of the spoon.

00:23:26This way,

00:23:27you can easily

00:23:28determine

00:23:29the number

00:23:30of spoons

00:23:31you need

00:23:32to fill

00:23:33a kilogram.

00:23:34Wow!

00:23:35A Sunday

00:23:36of a kilo!

00:23:37I want some!

00:23:38I want some!

00:23:39I want some!

00:23:40Some small tube

00:23:41caps are hollow

00:23:42on the top

00:23:43and have

00:23:44a hole

00:23:45in the middle.

00:23:46The cap

00:23:47fits perfectly

00:23:48in this hole

00:23:49and the tip

00:23:50is designed

00:23:51to break the seal.

00:23:52This way,

00:23:53you don't need

00:23:54to tear

00:23:55the small aluminum

00:23:56sheet

00:23:57with your fingers.

00:23:58The letter

00:23:59R in a circle

00:24:00on the packaging

00:24:01of a product

00:24:02means

00:24:03that the brand

00:24:04is officially

00:24:05deposited.

00:24:06Once it's done,

00:24:07the brand owner

00:24:08has the right

00:24:09to place

00:24:10this letter

00:24:11on all

00:24:12of its products.

00:24:13The letter

00:24:14is then

00:24:15attached

00:24:16to a metal hook

00:24:17on its handle.

00:24:18It's a lock

00:24:19with a trigger.

00:24:20You can use it

00:24:21to lock the handle

00:24:22in an open position.

00:24:23The fuel will

00:24:24then continue

00:24:25to be pumped

00:24:26even if you move away.

00:24:27In the past,

00:24:28coins had rather

00:24:29incongruous shapes

00:24:30or had no shape

00:24:31at all.

00:24:32The dishonest people

00:24:33used it to their advantage.

00:24:34They denied the precious metals

00:24:35that were made

00:24:36from the coins

00:24:37by scraping the edges.

00:24:38It was illegal

00:24:39and to avoid

00:24:40this kind of fraud,

00:24:42After that,

00:24:43it became easy

00:24:44to immediately notice

00:24:45that a coin

00:24:46had been trafficked.

00:24:47The two holes

00:24:48in a lollipop stick

00:24:49are there

00:24:50to hold the plug in place.

00:24:51When the stick

00:24:52is dipped

00:24:53in a hot liquid syrup,

00:24:54it flows

00:24:55into the holes

00:24:56and solidifies.

00:24:57Now,

00:24:58your candy

00:24:59is there to stay.

00:25:00The squares of fabric

00:25:01that go with the clothes

00:25:02are there

00:25:03so that you can

00:25:04first try

00:25:05cleaning products

00:25:06on them.

00:25:07This way,

00:25:08you won't ruin

00:25:09all of your clothing

00:25:11The holes

00:25:12in the back of the headphones

00:25:13allow the air

00:25:14to circulate

00:25:15in the speakers.

00:25:16This increases

00:25:17the bass frequencies

00:25:18and makes the bass sound

00:25:19deeper.

00:25:20The sound quality

00:25:21also improves.

00:25:22Isn't that a great voice?

00:25:23Thank you!

00:25:24You can adjust

00:25:25your stapler

00:25:26so that it only

00:25:27staples the documents

00:25:28together temporarily.

00:25:29To do this,

00:25:30just rotate

00:25:31the stapling area.

00:25:32Most staplers

00:25:33offer two options

00:25:34for this.

00:25:35One is standard,

00:25:36but the other

00:25:37allows you to fold

00:25:38the staplers

00:25:39so that they

00:25:40stay away from the center.

00:25:41Later,

00:25:42when you no longer

00:25:43need them,

00:25:44you can easily

00:25:45remove them

00:25:46by hand.

00:25:47If you store peanut butter

00:25:48skins upside down,

00:25:49the oil will move

00:25:50to the bottom

00:25:51and all the solids

00:25:52will be on top.

00:25:53Don't laugh,

00:25:54it's very important

00:25:55for some people.

00:25:56The workers

00:25:57in construction

00:25:58and sewing

00:25:59are usually

00:26:00dressed in orange

00:26:01because this color

00:26:02is visible

00:26:03even in bad weather.

00:26:04It's the most effective

00:26:05color to attract

00:26:06attention

00:26:07and alert people.

00:26:08This is why

00:26:09the safety and

00:26:10signaling cones

00:26:11are also orange.

00:26:12The stop sign

00:26:13has an 8-sided shape

00:26:14to help drivers

00:26:15recognize it easily,

00:26:16even if they see it

00:26:17from behind.

00:26:18And when the signs

00:26:19were not yet reflective,

00:26:20the octagonal shape

00:26:21prevented drivers

00:26:22from confusing

00:26:23the stop sign

00:26:24with any other

00:26:25at night.

00:26:26The rough strips

00:26:27on the sides

00:26:28of the road

00:26:29are placed there

00:26:30to alert drivers

00:26:31to the steering wheel.

00:26:32When the tires

00:26:33pass on these strips,

00:26:34the noise

00:26:35and vibrations

00:26:36work like an alarm.

00:26:37The stop sign

00:26:38has a fuel pump

00:26:39in the gas stations

00:26:40in case someone

00:26:41leaves with the

00:26:42gasoline gun

00:26:43still attached

00:26:44to his tank.

00:26:45In this case,

00:26:46the stop sign

00:26:47automatically

00:26:48detaches the pipe.

00:26:49The gasoline

00:26:50forms a rainbow

00:26:51in a puddle of water

00:26:52because it cannot

00:26:53mix with the water.

00:26:54It forms a thin membrane

00:26:55on top.

00:26:56When the light

00:26:57is reflected on it

00:26:58and on the water

00:26:59at the same time,

00:27:00you get a rainbow.

00:27:01The triple handle

00:27:02of a jerry can

00:27:03is there to allow

00:27:04two people

00:27:05to carry it more easily

00:27:06and distribute the liquid

00:27:07evenly.

00:27:08Gas cans

00:27:09often have

00:27:10a second hole

00:27:11that must also be

00:27:12opened before

00:27:13pouring the liquid.

00:27:14The air passage

00:27:15will prevent it

00:27:16from overflowing

00:27:17and therefore

00:27:18from wasting it.

00:27:19Most gas cans

00:27:20have two holes

00:27:21with caps,

00:27:22one bigger

00:27:23and one smaller.

00:27:24You are supposed

00:27:25to open the smaller hole

00:27:26before pouring the liquid

00:27:27through the bigger one.

00:27:28This will prevent

00:27:29the liquid from

00:27:30clumping

00:27:31and spreading

00:27:32on your clothes

00:27:33and on the floor.

00:27:34Another little thing

00:27:35is the tip of the cap

00:27:36of an ointment.

00:27:37Most tubes

00:27:38are usually sealed

00:27:39with a plastic film

00:27:40or an aluminum sheet

00:27:41and opening it

00:27:42with your nails

00:27:43is not the best idea.

00:27:44The tip of the cap

00:27:45allows you to easily

00:27:46open even the

00:27:47most tightly sealed tube.

00:27:48You can use

00:27:49most screwdrivers

00:27:50with a wrench

00:27:51to create more torque.

00:27:52You just need to

00:27:53place the wrench

00:27:54on the handle

00:27:55of the screwdriver.

00:27:56This way,

00:27:57you will need

00:27:58to apply

00:27:59much less force

00:28:00than usual.

00:28:01You will also be able

00:28:02to reach

00:28:03difficult areas

00:28:04with the help

00:28:05of a camera.

00:28:06Cameras

00:28:07are installed

00:28:08in shops,

00:28:09banks

00:28:10and hospitals

00:28:11to monitor everything.

00:28:12If something happens,

00:28:13you can call the police

00:28:14or the ambulance.

00:28:15The camera

00:28:16helps to resolve

00:28:17many cases.

00:28:18So,

00:28:19why are there

00:28:20no cameras

00:28:21in planes?

00:28:22The crew

00:28:23keeps order

00:28:24in the plane

00:28:25but they cannot

00:28:26do anything

00:28:27if something

00:28:28serious happens.

00:28:29In addition,

00:28:30there is nowhere

00:28:31to hide in a plane.

00:28:32During the flight,

00:28:33there is

00:28:34no camera.

00:28:35So,

00:28:36if the cameras

00:28:37are useless,

00:28:38why spend

00:28:39money on them?

00:28:40Water is very easy

00:28:41to clean

00:28:42because it has

00:28:43triangular molecules

00:28:44made up of

00:28:45one oxygen atom

00:28:46and two hydrogen atoms

00:28:47hence the H2O.

00:28:48These molecules

00:28:49have slightly different

00:28:50charges on their opposite sides

00:28:51a bit like magnets.

00:28:52This is why

00:28:53water easily attaches

00:28:54to other molecules

00:28:55including those

00:28:56that make up

00:28:57saline.

00:28:58Many individual

00:28:59houses have triangular

00:29:00roofs because

00:29:01this allows

00:29:02rain,

00:29:03snow

00:29:04and dead leaves

00:29:05to slide on the roof.

00:29:06If all these things

00:29:07piled up on the roof

00:29:08of your house,

00:29:09one day

00:29:10they could collapse.

00:29:11When a storm

00:29:12approaches,

00:29:13the clouds

00:29:14seem to become dark

00:29:15but this is only

00:29:16an illusion.

00:29:17The thin clouds

00:29:18of a sunny day

00:29:19easily let the light

00:29:20through.

00:29:21They also diffuse

00:29:22all the colors

00:29:23of the light spectrum.

00:29:24This makes us

00:29:25perceive the clouds

00:29:26as being white.

00:29:27The thicker the clouds

00:29:28are and contain

00:29:29droplets of water,

00:29:30the less they let

00:29:31the light through.

00:29:32A good number

00:29:33of doors are made

00:29:34of brass,

00:29:35bronze

00:29:36or in some

00:29:37copper alloys.

00:29:38These metals

00:29:39have an anti-germ effect.

00:29:40Bacteria spread

00:29:41much more slowly

00:29:42on them.

00:29:43They also get rid

00:29:44of microbes

00:29:45quite quickly

00:29:46in a few hours.

00:29:47But that doesn't mean

00:29:48you shouldn't

00:29:49wash your hands.

00:29:50Diamonds have

00:29:51symmetrical shapes

00:29:52to show you

00:29:53their brilliance.

00:29:54At first,

00:29:55these precious stones

00:29:56are not so beautiful.

00:29:57They go through

00:29:58several stages

00:29:59of size

00:30:00to become

00:30:01elegant pieces.

00:30:02Most of these stones

00:30:03have a round shape

00:30:04with slightly pointed corners.

00:30:05It is in this shape

00:30:06that diamonds shine

00:30:07the most.

00:30:08Why are there

00:30:09two holes

00:30:10in an electric socket?

00:30:11The left hole

00:30:12is negatively charged,

00:30:13the right hole

00:30:14is positively charged

00:30:15and the space

00:30:16below it

00:30:17is the ground.

00:30:18Electricity

00:30:19must flow

00:30:20through the circuit.

00:30:21The current

00:30:22passes through

00:30:23the positive hole,

00:30:24through the charger

00:30:25of your phone,

00:30:26for example,

00:30:27then through

00:30:28the negative hole.

00:30:29Have you ever

00:30:30seen the small pocket

00:30:31of your jeans?

00:30:32People used to

00:30:33wear watches

00:30:34to tickle.

00:30:35The small pocket

00:30:36was designed

00:30:37for this purpose.

00:30:38Today,

00:30:39no one wears

00:30:40this kind of watch

00:30:41anymore,

00:30:42but the pocket

00:30:43has remained.

00:30:44And you can slide

00:30:45small objects

00:30:46like a ring in it.

00:30:47In London,

00:30:48there are poles

00:30:49that look

00:30:50a little like

00:30:51air lamps,

00:30:52but they

00:30:53don't have

00:30:54bulbs.

00:30:55Their official

00:30:56name

00:30:57is

00:30:58the

00:30:59Low-smelling

00:31:00Explosive Gas,

00:31:01to avoid,

00:31:02let's say,

00:31:03unwanted consequences.

00:31:04Most kitchen scissors

00:31:05have metallic teeth

00:31:06that look like

00:31:07clamps

00:31:08in the middle

00:31:09between the handles.

00:31:10They can help you

00:31:11break nuts,

00:31:12crab shells

00:31:13and other hard products.

00:31:14You can also

00:31:15use them

00:31:16to open jars

00:31:17and bottles

00:31:18or remove

00:31:19the stems of herbs.

00:31:20Leather often

00:31:21looks dull to the eye

00:31:22because it is covered

00:31:23with tiny scratches

00:31:24and scuffs.

00:31:25It scatters

00:31:26the light

00:31:27and makes it look dull.

00:31:28When you put on

00:31:29a layer of wax

00:31:30on your shoes,

00:31:31you fill

00:31:32these tiny crevasses.

00:31:33The surface

00:31:34becomes smoother

00:31:35and the light

00:31:36bounces

00:31:37more uniformly.

00:31:38This is why

00:31:39leather

00:31:40then takes

00:31:41a brighter shade.

00:31:42The overlays

00:31:43are filled

00:31:44with a special

00:31:45fluorescent

00:31:46semi-transparent

00:31:47ink

00:31:48that can shine

00:31:49in low light.

00:31:50Yellow

00:31:51and light green

00:31:52shades

00:31:53are the most popular

00:31:54because they

00:31:55don't prevent

00:31:56the ink from

00:31:57becoming

00:31:58very pale

00:31:59and don't

00:32:00print them.

00:32:01We make

00:32:02horseshoe-shaped

00:32:03magnets

00:32:04because it

00:32:05increases

00:32:06the magnetic force.

00:32:07Colors

00:32:08are also important.

00:32:09The blue

00:32:10part

00:32:11indicates

00:32:12the south pole

00:32:13and the red

00:32:14part

00:32:15the north pole.

00:32:16Both poles

00:32:17work simultaneously

00:32:18and increase

00:32:19the attraction force.

00:32:20The 1 cm diameter

00:32:21hole in the doors

00:32:22of an elevator

00:32:23is a lock.

00:32:24If the doors

00:32:26have a small hole

00:32:27in the plane's

00:32:28windows,

00:32:29they are there

00:32:30to balance

00:32:31the air pressure.

00:32:32The window

00:32:33is made of

00:32:34three layers.

00:32:35The exterior

00:32:36window is

00:32:37extremely solid.

00:32:38It can withstand

00:32:39the air pressure

00:32:40difference

00:32:41during take-off

00:32:42and landing.

00:32:43The interior

00:32:44window,

00:32:45which is

00:32:46closest to the roof,

00:32:47is made of

00:32:48less expensive

00:32:49materials.

00:32:50It avoids

00:32:51any potential

00:32:52damage to the window.

00:32:53The hole

00:32:54in the door

00:32:55is made

00:37:55Well, they are here to help us locate ourselves on the keyboard without having to leave the screen of the eyes.

00:38:01You may be used to taking a coffee to take to your favorite establishment to wake you up in the morning.

00:38:07But when you arrive at home or at your workplace, you may be afraid to stain your desk by putting your coffee on it.

00:38:14Do not worry, this plastic lid is not only there for your coffee to stay warm, it also acts as a cup holder.

00:38:22In fact, your cup fits perfectly in it, and so it is.

00:38:26The following tip will be very useful to you if you like to cook at home.

00:38:30If you are like me, you may have a hard time knowing how much pasta you need for a single portion.

00:38:36Well, if you have a spoon, go get it.

00:38:39Most people do not know what the little hole in the middle is for, and suppose it is there to allow the water to flow.

00:38:46But in fact, it is used to measure a perfect portion.

00:38:49Before cooking, put a maximum amount of dry spaghetti in this hole, and you will know how much to use.

00:38:56When you go to a store to buy cinders, you may notice that those that are made of plastic are cheaper than those that are made of wood.

00:39:04There is a good reason for this.

00:39:06Wood cinders are made of cedar.

00:39:08The big difference between the two is that wood cinders repel insects and mites.

00:39:14They are also more solid and last longer, which is perfect for this object that usually stays in your closet for a long time.

00:39:22Looking at your toothbrush, you may have noticed that it has blue hairs.

00:39:26They are not there just to look pretty.

00:39:28In fact, they are used to know when we need to change toothbrushes.

00:39:32These hairs lose their firmness and color when the brush is used, which indicates that it is time to get rid of them.

00:39:39Microwave ovens often look like mini-TVs, especially those in which this black frame is clearly visible.

00:39:46This is a very important feature that prevents the waves from escaping.

00:39:51This structure is actually a Faraday cage.

00:39:54Thanks to it, you can stand next to a microwave without instantly turning into a puddle.

00:40:00This does not mean that you have to spend your day in front of your microwave watching your food heat up.

00:40:05But at least you know that you will not wake up with an extra ear the next morning.

00:40:10Some ovens have a drawer in their lower part.

00:40:14It is tempting to use it to store food that you do not use often.

00:40:18But there is actually a better use for it.

00:40:21You should rather use it to keep the food that is waiting to be served hot.

00:40:26You can take them out of the oven and store them directly in this drawer, which frees up space so that you can continue to cook.

00:40:33Now, you are on a plane.

00:40:35You look around you, trying to pass the time before taking off.

00:40:39By examining the window, you notice that it has a very small hole just below.

00:40:44Do not worry, the window is not broken.

00:40:47It is there to reduce the pressure that accumulates as the plane goes up and down.

00:40:52It also allows the air to circulate.

00:40:54Now, raise your hand if you have already gone up an escalator

00:40:57and you rubbed your shoes on the kind of brush that is on the side.

00:41:01I do it myself quite often, maybe more than I should.

00:41:05But these hairs are not there to clean your shoes.

00:41:08It is an important security device.

00:41:11It prevents your laces and clothes from getting stuck in the mechanism,

00:41:15which avoids you a lot of discomfort when going down.

00:41:18Sometimes you find a piece of fabric with your new dress.

00:41:22In general, it is accompanied by additional buttons in a small plastic bag.

00:41:27You may think that it is there to allow you to crumple your clothes

00:41:31in case you tear it, but it is not at all.

00:41:34In reality, you are supposed to put it in your washing machine

00:41:37to know how it reacts to different washes.

00:41:41Now, you do not have to fear that your new coat shrinks

00:41:44because you will know in advance which program to use.

00:41:47Bubbles, who does not like bubbles?

00:41:50Most people remember with emotion the bubble blowers of their childhood.

00:41:54But as we grow up, it is rather in our foam bath

00:41:57that we take pleasure with the bubbles.

00:41:59After a hard day's work, there is nothing better

00:42:02than diving into a good hot bath.

00:42:04Not true, friends?

00:42:05And the bubbles do more than clean you.

00:42:08If they are high-quality bubbles, they also serve as thermal insulators.

00:42:12They make sure that your bath stays warm longer.

00:42:15There are sometimes mysterious holes in the chocolate boxes.

00:42:19When I eat a box or two, I usually ignore them

00:42:22and I remove the chocolate by pressing on the bottom of the plastic.

00:42:25But in fact, this is not at all the right method.

00:42:28If you press on one of the holes, the chocolate comes out as it is.

00:42:32So I'm going to do that from now on.

00:42:34It's on the web.

00:42:36Here is another little kitchen secret.

00:42:39The handle of a saucepan is often pierced with a hole.

00:42:42Most people use it to hook their saucepan to a hook

00:42:45as an easy storage method.

00:42:47But this hole has another use.

00:42:49When you cook, you can use this handle to put your wooden or plastic spoon.

00:42:54This allows you not to dirty your work plan when you put it down.

00:42:58Glass bottles are usually equipped with a cap.

00:43:01It's normal. Without it, the liquid would simply spread.

00:43:05In this cap, there is a plastic lining that apparently has no use.

00:43:10But it's wrong.

00:43:11It's a sealant.

00:43:13It's thanks to it that your drink stays sparkling.

00:43:16Ah, exactly the cooling I needed.

00:43:20Many door handles are made of brass.

00:43:22And it's not by chance.

00:43:24They are made in this specific material because it is the worst enemy of bacteria.

00:43:28It's true, it's destroyed.

00:43:30Perfect for those who want to keep a clean house and avoid microbes.

00:43:34So, are we going to fish?

00:43:37The next time you get dressed, look at your shirt up close.

00:43:41Each buttonhole is sewn vertically.

00:43:43But look at the very last hole.

00:43:45It is sewn horizontally, isn't it?

00:43:47The lower part of your shirt is the one that endures the most tension.

00:43:51Because that's where your hips are.

00:43:53This buttonhole is not designed like this by chance.

00:43:57It prevents your shirt from tearing when your hips move.

00:44:00The layer of foam that forms when you put foam bath in your bathtub is not just fun.

00:44:06It also acts as an insulator and keeps your bath warm longer.

00:44:10The pompom on the top of your cap was not placed there just to look pretty.

00:44:14Originally, it was sewn on the caps of the sailors

00:44:17to prevent them from sticking their heads on the ceilings, often too low from the ships.

00:44:21The crackers were drilled with holes to prevent them from breaking or cracking during cooking.

00:44:26If these holes did not exist, the steam would accumulate inside and break them.

00:44:31The numbers written on the stickers that are found on the oranges are not placed randomly.

00:44:36If there are four numbers and the first is three or four,

00:44:40it means that the fruit has been grown according to the usual agricultural techniques.

00:44:45Five numbers starting with an eight means that the orange has been genetically modified.

00:44:50Five numbers starting with an egg means that the fruit is organic.

00:44:54The margins on the pages of notebooks are not just used to take notes,

00:44:58but were originally used as protection.

00:45:00At the time, rats were very present in houses and paper was one of their favorite food.

00:45:05So the margins were added so that the rats would blink white areas

00:45:08rather than those containing important writings.

00:45:11If you empty your Chinese meal on a plate,

00:45:14you are giving yourself trouble for nothing,

00:45:16just like the seasoning pots on paper in fast food.

00:45:19These cardboard boxes can be unfolded to form a plate of suitable size for your dish.

00:45:24The long neck of your soda bottle is designed to encourage you to hold it there.

00:45:29Thus, the heat from your hand will only heat up the upper part of the bottle

00:45:33instead of heating up all your drink.

00:45:36Why do the back of some jackets have a buttonhole without a corresponding button?

00:45:41Originally, coats and jackets were equipped with a corresponding button

00:45:45so that the person wearing them could raise their collar

00:45:48and tie it around the neck to make it warmer.

00:45:51Over time, people stopped doing it and this button was removed,

00:45:54but many manufacturers have kept this buttonhole by tradition.

00:45:58It is always difficult to see food in the microwave

00:46:01because of this black grid stuck to the glass,

00:46:03but it is there to protect you from harmful waves.

00:46:06It is a Faraday cage.

00:46:08This loop on your backpack is a fishing rod.

00:46:11It is there so that you can pass cords through the holes

00:46:14in order to transport additional equipment.

00:46:17It is ideal for camping or long hikes.

00:46:20Golf balls are covered with small holes so that they can fly more easily in the air.

00:46:25This reduces the resistance and allows them to travel further and faster.

00:46:30Make-up cotton has two different sides for a good reason.

00:46:34The bushy side is used to apply make-up, while the other side is used to remove it.

00:46:38The donuts are pierced so that the inside and the outside cook evenly.

00:46:43Before the addition of these holes, the inside was often greasy and doughy,

00:46:47while the outside was crispy.

00:46:49The charger of your portable Mac is equipped with small legs,

00:46:52but not for standing up.

00:46:54When they are unfolded, these legs allow you to wrap the cable around

00:46:57and hold it in place to prevent it from getting tangled or damaged.

00:47:01If you look at a bottle of soda, you will notice a disc inside the cap of the bottle.

00:47:06This disc allows you to seal the bottle hermetically in order to prevent the gas from escaping.

00:47:12The holes in the donut sticks are not intended to prevent suffocation in case of ingestion.

00:47:17They are there to hold the candy in place.

00:47:19The excess liquid flows into the tube through this hole,

00:47:22and when it hardens, it holds the donut in place.

00:47:25If the stick was smooth, the candy would slip too easily.

00:47:29The leather motorbike jacket zipper is often sewn diagonally.

00:47:34This is not just a fashion effect.

00:47:36Vertically sewn zippers can be rolled up when you lean forward,

00:47:40but not a diagonal zipper.

00:47:42The small triangle on your fuel gauge is used to indicate

00:47:45which side of the car is the fuel trap.

00:47:48You will never stop on the wrong side of the pump now.

00:47:51Vacuum cleaners come with a lot of accessories,

00:47:54but do you really know what the one with long hair is for?

00:47:57It's used to clean dust, and is perfect for cleaning framed paintings,

00:48:01stores, and abattoirs.

00:48:03These little holes in the chocolate box tray actually have a function.

00:48:07Press on the hole near the candy, and it will come out without your fingers getting dirty.

00:48:12Some skyscrapers have completely empty floors.

00:48:15This is actually a way to bypass the height limit.

00:48:18Most buildings have a limited number of floors.

00:48:21As these invisible floors are empty, they add height to the buildings

00:48:25and make them more impressive without increasing the number of real floors,

00:48:29while respecting the construction contract.

00:48:32These hollow floors also prevent the spread of fires.

00:48:36Women's shirt buttons are traditionally placed on the left, for a good reason.

00:48:41At the time, it was a sign of wealth,

00:48:44because it meant that a servant you dressed up with

00:48:47and had buttons on the left made it easier to button your shirt.

00:48:51Your cuticles serve a purpose, so think well before getting rid of them.

00:48:55This little skin area is there to protect your nails from infections.

00:48:59Without it, bacteria and fungi can infiltrate.

00:49:02What's the difference between a wooden belt and a plastic belt?

00:49:06In addition to helping to keep your clothes in shape,

00:49:09a cedar wood belt repels mites and insects.

00:49:12If you look closely at an elevator door, you will see a small hole.

00:49:16It is actually a lock hole used for maintenance or in case of emergency.

00:49:20These buttons spread out in your jeans are rivets

00:49:23and they are placed in the most fragile places of the jeans

00:49:26to protect it from tears due to tension or movement.

00:49:29The crown of the Statue of Liberty has 7 tips

00:49:33which represent the 7 seas and the 7 continents.

00:49:36They have been added so that it can offer a little of its famous freedom to all the inhabitants of the world.

00:49:41The suitcases are often equipped with two locks

00:49:44that can be connected with a padlock to avoid theft.

00:49:47Salt is not only used to season, it also eliminates tenacious odors.

00:49:51Rubbing it on your fingers after chopping garlic will make the smell disappear.

00:49:55It also works on shoes.

00:49:57If you are in a hurry to go out but your phone is discharged,

00:50:00put it in airplane mode to charge it faster.

00:50:03Men's shirts have a loop in the back that allows you to hang them on a hook without crushing them.

00:50:09Vaseline has a secret utility.

00:50:11It is ideal to make scuffs disappear on leather shoes.

00:50:15It will also make them shine.

00:50:17Some car suitcases are equipped with an emergency lock

00:50:20in case you accidentally lock yourself inside.

00:50:23You are never too careful.

00:50:25You wait a little to find it and then pull on it to open the suitcase.

00:50:29The painted grids have a secret slide in the back that can be removed to remove the crumbs.

00:50:34Look at the keyboard of your laptop.

00:50:36There are buttons on the F and J keys, but nowhere else.

00:50:40When your fingers are in the optimal position to type,

00:50:43your indexes must rest on these two keys.

00:50:46These buttons have been added to be able to position your hands correctly without looking at the keyboard.

00:50:51If you don't have an index,

00:50:52maybe it's because you fed the sharks a little too close

00:50:55and in this case we can't do anything for you.

00:51:00So, you are hungry, but you don't really want to make a meal,

00:51:04entry, dish, dessert.

00:51:05What would you say about instant noodles instead?

00:51:08At the end, your stomach is growling, but there is a problem.

00:51:12The polystyrene cup is broken and the noodles are outside.

00:51:16Wait, what is this space at the bottom of the cup?

00:51:19But why?

00:51:20This space is intended to protect the noodles.

00:51:23It is not the company that tries to save money or anything like that.

00:51:27Notice how the ramen in the cups is almost never broken,

00:51:31while the one in the packet comes out in bad shape.

00:51:34This technique is called an intermediate suspension.

00:51:37The noodles are tightened to prevent them from being crushed in the delivery truck.

00:51:41It's not just to make the noodles look beautiful and long.

00:51:44It is also about making sure that these delicious noodles are more tender and more regular.

00:51:50The morning wool is not the best.

00:51:53Fortunately, there is an easy way to get rid of it.

00:51:56Obviously, everyone thinks that the mouthwash was invented to wash your mouth.

00:52:01Well, no.

00:52:02The mouthwash was originally invented and sold as a floor cleaner.

00:52:07It was sold to hospitals as an antiseptic for years,

00:52:11but it never really took off.

00:52:13A marketing genius renamed it mouthwash.

00:52:17The rest is a fresh story.

00:52:20So, after cleaning your teeth,

00:52:22don't forget that sometimes repositioning a brand can be very effective.

00:52:28It is difficult to imagine a world without the Internet these days.

00:52:31No streaming, no online games, no pictures of cute kittens.

00:52:36Yes, I know that's not why it was designed, but who cares, right?

00:52:40The Internet prototype was called ARPANET,

00:52:43acronym for Advanced Research Projects Agency Network.

00:52:51This machine was very sensitive.

00:52:53To prevent anyone from turning it off,

00:52:55an intelligent scientist stuck a piece of paper on it with its striking words.

00:53:00This machine is a server.

00:53:02Do not turn it off.

00:53:04It was written in red ink, nicely drawn.

00:53:07The fact that your teacher scribbles in the margins of your notebook is not really new.

00:53:11Except that the margins were not designed for that.

00:53:14It is a protection against rats.

00:53:16At the time, rats constantly nibbled on the paper.

00:53:19So if you wrote something on the edge of the sheet,

00:53:22well, it ended up in the stomach of a hungry rat.

00:53:25A few well-placed margins prevented your best answers from being eaten.

00:53:31Hey, I can't finish this pizza.

00:53:33It's time to cover up the leftovers.

00:53:35Fortunately, I have a lot of plastic film.

00:53:37A little pull and the roll comes off.

00:53:40Cool!

00:53:42If you look at the packaging,

00:53:44this long and thin box,

00:53:46there is a small particularity that can help you.

00:53:49A cardboard tab at each end.

00:53:51Push them inwards and the roll will no longer be able to move.

00:53:55It's strange that I've never seen them before.

00:53:58It's lunchtime.

00:54:00I feel like a California Roll today.

00:54:02Algae, rice, cucumber, avocado and crab meat.

00:54:06Or is it ...

00:54:07In fact, it's imitation crab meat.

00:54:10It's basically cheap white fish mixed with sugar.

00:54:14The fish mixture is then heated and shaped.

00:54:17It's delicious.

00:54:19Maybe that's why it's called the hot dog of the sea.

00:54:23No, I just invented that.

00:54:27Your microwave has a secret that we've all seen,

00:54:30but we've never paid attention to.

00:54:32This black net you see on the door is a Faraday cage.

00:54:36It prevents electromagnetic energy, or microwaves,

00:54:40from escaping and cooking you at the same time.

00:54:43That's how they heat food so quickly.

00:54:46Each microwave must have one,

00:54:48and they are all of different qualities.

00:54:50This Faraday cage can even stop the signals on your phone,

00:54:54which is certainly useful.

00:54:56And you don't need your popcorn to stop inflating

00:54:59to be able to make a call, do you?

00:55:01For that, airplane mode is much easier to manage.

00:55:05Have you ever taken a IQ test

00:55:07and realized that you had Einstein's IQ level?

00:55:10No? Me neither.

00:55:12The average IQ is not 100.

00:55:14And there is very little evidence that Einstein never took the test.

00:55:18At first, most people thought that the tests were too vague

00:55:21to be used for anything.

00:55:23This test was designed for children who needed help with their studies.

00:55:27Later, they realized that it could be adapted to measure intelligence.

00:55:32But at first, they didn't aim for that goal.

00:55:35Hey, have you ever blown up bubble wrap?

00:55:38No? You're missing something.

00:55:41And of course, you guessed it,

00:55:43it was never designed to be blown up or used as we do today.

00:55:47It was invented as new textured paper.

00:55:50It was by sealing two shower curtains together

00:55:53that they created the first bubbles.

00:55:55The idea never really found its audience.

00:55:58After failing as paper,

00:56:00it discovered the true meaning of its life.

00:56:03This paper could protect fragile objects.

00:56:06When the first computers were shipped,

00:56:08bubble wrap was there to protect them.

00:56:11Would you find that cool or not?

00:56:13Leave me a comment below.

00:56:15If you owned one of the largest companies in the world

00:56:18that sells one of the most famous products on the planet,

00:56:21how would you keep the secret of your company?

00:56:24A secret? The Coca-Cola formula is not even patented.

00:56:27The first recipe was,

00:56:29but when they made changes,

00:56:31no patent was ever filed.

00:56:33The secret formula is only known to a few people in the company.

00:56:37That said, even the rival of Coca-Cola doesn't want this recipe.

00:56:41In 2006, an unhappy employee tried to sell the secret,

00:56:45but he couldn't find a buyer.

00:56:48Hey, look at your brand new mattress.

00:56:50Do you see the label?

00:56:52Don't take it off under legal proceedings.

00:56:54This thing looks pretty serious,

00:56:56but good news, the labels are not for you.

00:56:59They are intended for mattress sellers.

00:57:02A hundred years ago, mattress manufacturers created

00:57:05the filling with practically anything.

00:57:07Animal fur, old hospital beds, or even clothes.

00:57:11Then, strict laws prevented the use of these bizarre materials.

00:57:16Hospital mattresses were thus filled with germs.

00:57:19Yuck!

00:57:21When it rains, the wet modeling paste is great to take care of at home.

00:57:25Mix flour, water, salt, food coloring, and voila!

00:57:31Any creative person can have fun with it for hours.

00:57:35Good market, clean, non-toxic, perfect modeling paste.

00:57:40But it was never designed for that.

00:57:42This product was originally intended to clean the walls in the 1930s.

00:57:46It's because people started going crazy with wallpaper

00:57:50on which they couldn't use water and soap.

00:57:53In the end, Pledo came up with new functions and did really well.

00:57:58Have you ever finished a sock and noticed a hole in the little stick?

00:58:03This hole is not just decorative.

00:58:05And no, it's not designed to turn into a musical instrument.

00:58:09It's there to prevent this delicious sweet treat from falling.

00:58:13When the candy is still hot, it's poured into a mold.

00:58:17The candy flows into the hole, and as it hardens, it creates an anchor.

00:58:21You don't like candy?

00:58:23Why not some good old American gummy bears?

00:58:26Unfortunately, they're not American at all.

00:58:29They're German.

00:58:31A German company started making them in 1922.

00:58:35The original name was Gummy... something.

00:58:38In short, they were inspired by real bears dancing in shows.

00:58:43These treats ended up going around the world.

00:58:47Have you ever wondered what these little bumps on the F and J keys of your keyboard were for?

00:58:52These little bumps are there to help your fingers get to the best spot possible

00:58:57to tap at lightning speed.

00:58:59Keep your fingers on the F and J keys.

00:59:02This will make it easier for you to reach all the keys,

00:59:05especially if you don't look at the keyboard.

00:59:08Today, everyone loves slinkies.

00:59:11If you've ever seen one dangling down the stairs

00:59:14with groovy music in the background,

00:59:16bravo, you really are a YouTube fan.

00:59:19It was a huge success as soon as it came out.

00:59:22Which is crazy, because in fact, it was never designed as a toy at all.

00:59:27It's a spring.

00:59:29It was originally designed to stabilize the sensitive nautical devices of ships.

00:59:33Not at all a fun feature, then.

00:59:36And yet, one day, one of them fell off a table and danced right into our hearts.

00:59:41After many experiments, the new improved slinky was born.

00:59:45Let's give this team of scientists a medal.

00:59:48The little pocket of your jean wasn't designed to hold coins or keys.

00:59:53It was originally designed so that you could put your pocket watch in it.

00:59:57You don't have a watch to put it in? How is that possible?

01:00:00It was a hit in the 1890s.

01:00:03But that's not all that makes your old jean interesting.

01:00:06Look around your pockets. You'll see rivets that protrude.

01:00:09No, it's not a vestige of the fashion of the past.

01:00:12These rivets play a very important role.

01:00:15They protect the sensitive areas of the most worn jeans.

01:00:19At the time, most people wore jeans to do painstaking manual work, so they had to be resistant.

01:00:26If today these men saw you paying $100 for a torn jean, they would probably faint in shock.

01:00:33Pockets are usually placed on the left side of the shirt, because most people are right-handed.

01:00:39Is this a myth or a reality?

01:00:41It's a reality.

01:00:43Many products are made for right-handed people.

01:00:46Left-handed people know that.

01:00:48For example, in public transport.

01:00:50Have you ever noticed that the scanner that validates your transport title is usually on the right side?

01:00:55And it's the same for everyday objects and household appliances.

01:00:58Chisels, tweezers, bottle openers and many other items of the same type are primarily designed for right-handed people.

01:01:05The same goes for shirt pockets.

01:01:07Although some people use their two hands indifferently or change their preference according to the task to be accomplished,

01:01:13the vast majority of people are right-handed.

01:01:16According to a study, 75 to 90% of the world's population would be right-handed and 10% only left-handed.

01:01:25This means that having a pocket on the left side rather than on the right side is more convenient for most people.

01:01:31Try it yourself.

01:01:33You have to make an effort to reach your pocket placed on the right side of your shirt.

01:01:37However, your gesture is quite natural when it comes to looking for something in your left pocket.

01:01:43Eating more protein allows you to have bigger muscles.

01:01:47What do you think?

01:01:48Dear fans of bodybuilding, myth or reality?

01:01:51Dear fans of bodybuilding, myth or reality?

01:01:55It's a myth.

01:01:56It's true that eating protein is essential to have big muscles.

01:02:00Protein, in fact, are in a way the building blocks of your body.

01:02:05And yet, eating more than what you need is completely useless.

01:02:10Everyone should drink 8 glasses of water a day.

01:02:13Do you think this is a myth or a reality?

01:02:16It's a myth.

01:02:17So don't blame yourself for drinking less water than is recommended.

01:02:208 glasses is not a magical number.

01:02:23The need for hydration varies from person to person.

01:02:26The amount of water you have to drink every day depends on your activity and your physical habits.

01:02:31The temperature of the place where you live also has an impact on your needs.

01:02:35If you live in a hot region, you sweat more and so you have to drink more water.

01:02:40Soup, coffee, tea, fruits and other foods you eat on a daily basis also contain water.

01:02:48Carrots are rich in sugar.

01:02:50So you should avoid eating them.

01:02:52If it's true, we should warn rabbits.

01:02:54What do you think? Myth or reality?

01:02:57It's a myth.

01:02:58Carrots are made up of about 85% water.

01:03:01Half a kilo of cooked carrots contains only 3 teaspoons of sugar.

01:03:06Compared to the amount of sugar contained in your favorite desserts, it's nothing.

01:03:10In addition, carrots are rich in phytochemical compounds and eating them can help you reduce blood sugar.

01:03:17The people of the Middle Ages believed that the Earth was flat.

01:03:20Is this a myth or a reality?

01:03:22Obviously, the flat Earth is a myth.

01:03:25But the story built around this myth is also a myth.

01:03:28We cannot say that at that time the whole world doubted the spherical shape of the Earth.

01:03:33They made the same observations that we make today.

01:03:36For example, the people of the Middle Ages could see, just like us,

01:03:39that the sun's rays, when rising and setting, form an arc above the horizon.

01:03:45The Vikings wore horned helmets.

01:03:47Is this a myth or a reality?

01:03:49The image is well known.

01:03:51No Viking warrior without his horned helmet.

01:03:53But in reality, there were no horns on their helmets.

01:03:56We have not found any proof of this.

01:04:00Detox juice purifies your body.

01:04:02Is this a reality or a myth?

01:04:05It's a myth.

01:04:06What is commonly called detox doesn't work like that.

01:04:09It's your internal organs that take charge of your body's cleansing process.

01:04:14The rat, the liver, the kidneys, but especially the liver.

01:04:18Your body purifies itself permanently, naturally.

01:04:22No one needs to drink juices to eliminate these toxins.

01:04:26Walnuts are malnourished.

01:04:28What do you think?

01:04:29Myth or reality?

01:04:31You're right, it's a myth.

01:04:33Walnuts are full of healthy fats.

01:04:35They are excellent for your heart and other organs.

01:04:39On average, Americans throw away 38 kg of textile waste per year and per person.

01:04:44Is this a reality or a myth?

01:04:47It's a reality.

01:04:48Imagine all this waste.

01:04:50When a person throws away his clothes, they don't just go to waste.

01:04:54All these articles are sent in huge discharges.

01:04:57Giving away his clothes or reselling them in second-hand stores is much more ecological.

01:05:02You've probably heard of these miraculous laundry tips

01:05:06that are supposed to make your clothes super clean and like new.

01:05:09What if these laundry tips were just myths?

01:05:12Here are three of them.

01:05:14Shirts must be buttoned when you put them in your machine.

01:05:17Is this true?

01:05:19It's a myth.

01:05:20It's better to keep the zipper closed

01:05:22so that their teeth don't stick to the fabric of your other clothes.

01:05:26But attaching the buttons to a shirt can dilate the buttonholes.

01:05:29In the long run, the buttons will start to slip

01:05:32and your shirt will be easy to throw away.

01:05:35Washing your clothes in hot water is the best way to clean them.

01:05:39Is this a myth or a reality?

01:05:41It's still a myth.

01:05:43You want to get rid of microbes in your clothes.

01:05:45However, hot water alone won't be enough.

01:05:48Nowadays, many detergents are perfectly capable of cleaning our clothes

01:05:53in cold or warm water.

01:05:55We have to clean the stains on the outside of the fabric.

01:05:58Is this true?

01:06:00Most people apply water and soap directly to the stain,

01:06:04starting with the outside of the fabric.

01:06:06But this is not the best solution.

01:06:08It's better to start with the inside of the fabric.

01:06:11The stain can sink deeper if you treat it from the outside.

01:06:15Try to bring the stain up to the surface

01:06:18rather than pushing it inwards.

01:06:21Listening to music is effective in learning a new language.

01:06:25Is this a myth or a reality?

01:06:27It's a reality.

01:06:29Scientists have found that listening to a song and humming along

01:06:33can help us learn a language.

01:06:35Many people have trouble learning grammar rules.

01:06:39However, in our daily lives, we don't always follow them.

01:06:43Songs can help us memorize common expressions.

01:06:46Scientists have also found that music

01:06:49allows us to remember new words and enrich our vocabulary.

01:06:53Let me give you an example.

01:06:55Do you remember your first year of school?

01:06:57Yes, the alphabet song.

01:06:59Are you a morning person or a night bird?

01:07:02In any case, you need to be aware of the realities and myths

01:07:06about sleep.

01:07:08A person managed to stay awake for 11 consecutive days.

01:07:12Do you think this is possible or is it an urban legend?

01:07:16It's a reality.

01:07:17Randy Gardner set the record for the longest duration of sleep.

01:07:21It was a scientific experiment

01:07:23conducted by Dr. William C. Demond,

01:07:26who studied sleep at Stanford University.

01:07:29This doctor recorded and monitored Randy Gardner's sleep activity,

01:07:33and Gardner managed to stay awake for 11 days and 25 minutes.

01:07:38Your body ends up getting used to less sleep.

01:07:41Myth or reality?

01:07:43It's a myth.

01:07:44Numerous studies have shown that your body,

01:07:46and your brain in particular,

01:07:48can't get used to less sleep.

01:07:50Have you noticed that after a few sleepless nights,

01:07:53you start to feel more sluggish during the day?

01:07:56It's your body that tries to adapt to its lack of rest.

01:07:59Long-term lack of sleep affects your performance,

01:08:02your concentration, and your decision-making during the day.

01:08:06Many adults need only 5 hours of sleep or even less.

01:08:10Is this true?

01:08:12It's very easy.

01:08:13It's a myth.

01:08:14National Sleep Foundation experts recommend that adults

01:08:18sleep between 7 and 9 hours a night.

01:08:21Some people have a genetic mutation

01:08:23that allows them to fully wake up after a short night of sleep.

01:08:27But these people are exceptional.

01:08:29One in four million.

01:08:31People who are able to sleep anywhere,

01:08:34or at any time, are said to be good sleepers.

01:08:37What do you think?

01:08:38Myth or reality?

01:08:40It's a myth.

01:08:41A good sleeper sleeps enough and on a regular basis.

01:08:44Cats spend two-thirds of their lives sleeping.

01:08:47Is this true?

01:08:49It probably won't surprise you.

01:08:51It's a reality.

01:08:53So, have you been able to answer most of these questions correctly?

01:08:59Here's how to protect your credit card from potential scams.

01:09:03Take a marker and mask the last four digits.

01:09:06You can also use a sticker that's easy to remove

01:09:09and place it on the security code.

01:09:12Have you ever had a guest who, unfortunately,

01:09:15didn't use their undergarment?

01:09:17Take a hair dryer and hold it a few centimetres from the stain.

01:09:21Plug it in over medium heat for a few minutes

01:09:24to evaporate the stain.

01:09:26If a discoloured stain persists,

01:09:28mix the same amount of vinegar and olive oil in a bowl.

01:09:32Apply it on the marked area and rub it

01:09:34until the stain disappears, then wipe.

01:09:38Don't waste time scrubbing the burn marks

01:09:40on the bottom of a saucepan.

01:09:42Instead, fill it with water

01:09:44and add three tablespoons of salt.

01:09:46Let it sit overnight

01:09:48so that the salt dissolves the cooking residue

01:09:50and, in the morning, empty the water from the saucepan.

01:09:53This way, it will be much easier

01:09:55to remove all this grease.

01:09:58Imagine the scene.

01:09:59You're on holiday and your shirt is all wrinkled in your suitcase.

01:10:03You need it tonight, but the hotel doesn't have iron to iron.

01:10:07Don't panic.

01:10:08Hang the shirt in the bathroom

01:10:10and while you take a hot shower,

01:10:12the heat and humidity will defrost your shirt.

01:10:15OK, it won't be perfect,

01:10:17but it will be much better,

01:10:19and all without any effort.

01:10:22The football match will start from one moment to the next

01:10:25and it turns out that you don't have any more batteries

01:10:27for your remote control.

01:10:29You can use a smaller battery instead,

01:10:31which will easily fit inside.

01:10:33Now take some aluminium foil and freeze it.

01:10:37Place the aluminium ball in the space

01:10:39located on the negative or flat end of the battery.

01:10:42Now you can turn on the TV.

01:10:46When your tongs break

01:10:48and the piece of plastic escapes from its hole all the time,

01:10:51it's probably a sign that you need a new pair.

01:10:54But there is a way to extend their lifespan.

01:10:57Put the piece back in its hole

01:10:59and then attach these kind of clamps

01:11:01that you can find on packaged bread.

01:11:03The clamp will provide enough support

01:11:05for the sandal to stay in place.

01:11:09You have received a package

01:11:11and the invoice is taped to it.

01:11:13You managed to detach it from the box,

01:11:15but then how do you take the tape off

01:11:17without tearing the paper?

01:11:19Grab the two ends of the adhesive tape.

01:11:21If you pull slowly,

01:11:23the tape will stretch and separate from the paper

01:11:25without tearing it.

01:11:27Fresh bags are perfect

01:11:29to keep things dry,

01:11:31but it would be great if they were bigger, wouldn't it?

01:11:34Take two and turn one over.

01:11:36They can now be attached to each other

01:11:38and form a large bag,

01:11:40big enough to protect a keyboard, for example.

01:11:43No need to carry your keys in your hand

01:11:45when you're next jogging,

01:11:47but they're in your pocket.

01:11:49Take an elastic and tie it around the pocket inside

01:11:52so your keys won't fall.

01:11:55You broke your key in the door.

01:11:57It's stuck in there.

01:11:59Great!

01:12:00Calling a locksmith

01:12:01could cost you more than a hundred euros.

01:12:04For a cheaper and faster solution,

01:12:06try using a hot glue stick.

01:12:09Heat the end with a lighter

01:12:11and once it's hot enough to melt,

01:12:14insert the glue into the lock hole.

01:12:17The melted glue will enter the available space,

01:12:20covering part of the key.

01:12:22Once cooled, it will combine

01:12:24and firmly attach to the end of the key,

01:12:27which will only remain for you to extract.

01:12:31If you have to siphon liquid through a pipe

01:12:34and you don't want to put it in your mouth,

01:12:36dip one end in the liquid

01:12:38and hold the other end up

01:12:40with your thumb that closes the top.

01:12:42Now shake from top to bottom.

01:12:44This shaking movement will push the liquid up

01:12:47a little more each time.

01:12:49Once it's reached the top,

01:12:51lower the pipe and leave the gravity to the rest.

01:12:55You forgot your car keys in your locked car.

01:12:58It's an old model with a mechanical window.

01:13:01You could take a belt and try to unlock the lock,

01:13:04but it's long and complicated.

01:13:06Or you can use an adhesive tape.

01:13:09Make about 20 strips of 60 cm long,

01:13:12stick them on the window,

01:13:14leaving enough space for the tape

01:13:16to catch on the bottom.

01:13:18Then, with a friend,

01:13:20take the ends of the adhesive tape

01:13:22and by holding them together,

01:13:24pull the big tape down.

01:13:26The force exerted will allow the window

01:13:28to be opened sufficiently

01:13:30to unlock the door.

01:13:32When you put big screws in hard wood,

01:13:34your old drill may not be powerful enough,

01:13:37which leaves them half-dented

01:13:39before it declares bankruptcy.

01:13:41So take a block of wax

01:13:43and rub the edges of your screws with it.

01:13:45The wax works like a lubricant.

01:13:47It melts when it's hot

01:13:49and will facilitate the passage of the screw.

01:13:52You went camping,

01:13:54but you didn't bring anything to light the barbecue.

01:13:56Take a small, airtight plastic bag,

01:13:58fill it with water and close it carefully

01:14:00by forming a round ball.

01:14:02Hold it above the place

01:14:04where you want to capture the sun's light.

01:14:06The water bag will work like a magnifying glass

01:14:08lighting the barbecue.

01:14:10Of course, it has to be a sunny day.

01:14:14You also forgot your plug,

01:14:16where your plug broke in half in the gutter.

01:14:18Using a lighter,

01:14:20heat the top of the bottle.

01:14:22The heat will slightly dilate the glass,

01:14:24which will eject the plug from the top.

01:14:28You put superglue on your fingers again.

01:14:30Take some salt

01:14:32and pour it on your glued fingers.

01:14:34Put your fingers under the water

01:14:36and rub gently.

01:14:38The mixture will dissolve the glue

01:14:40and free you in no time.

01:14:42When you hang a painting,

01:14:44it may be impossible to find the right distance

01:14:46between the wall and the painting.

01:14:48Place a fork upside down

01:14:50and insert it so that the nail can slide

01:14:52between the nail and the fork.

01:14:54The fork has a long sleeve

01:14:56separated from the wall,

01:14:58which makes it easier to slide

01:15:00the string of the painting on the nail.

01:15:02Once the painting is perfectly balanced,

01:15:04just remove the fork.

01:15:06You have to put a cake in a box,

01:15:08but if you want to take it out later,

01:15:10you risk damaging it.

01:15:12Place the lid upside down

01:15:14and place the cake directly on the lid.

01:15:16This one now serves as a base for the container,

01:15:18which will greatly simplify

01:15:20the access to the cake,

01:15:22piece by piece.

01:15:24You can quickly empty the water

01:15:26from the large containers and bottles

01:15:28by forming a whirl.

01:15:30By shaking it in circles,

01:15:32you will create a kind of vortex

01:15:34that will allow the air to inflate

01:15:36in the container while the water flows.

01:15:38It's much faster than the usual method.

01:15:40There is an easier and less dirty way

01:15:42to remove the shells from a hard egg.

01:15:44Once the egg is cooked,

01:15:46break the shell at both ends

01:15:48by tapping it.

01:15:50On one side, remove the shell by pricking it.

01:15:52Then blow directly with your mouth

01:15:54on the open end.

01:15:56The force of the air will push the egg

01:15:58and dilate the shell,

01:16:00which will allow it to come out without damage.

01:16:04If the hinges of your laptop break,

01:16:06you know that their repair

01:16:08can cost several hundred euros.

01:16:10A much cheaper solution

01:16:12is to buy a frame

01:16:14and glue it to the back of the screen.

01:16:16You dropped a small jewel

01:16:18on the floor and you tell yourself

01:16:20that you will never find it.

01:16:22Take a sock and place it

01:16:24on the end of the hose of your vacuum cleaner.

01:16:26Suck the area well

01:16:28and check the hose regularly.

01:16:30You will end up finding your jewel

01:16:32at the end of this one.

01:16:34You drilled a hole in the wall,

01:16:36but the hole is now too big.

01:16:38Remove the screw and find a slightly

01:16:40shorter and thinner object.

01:16:42If you don't have a hinge,

01:16:44small wires, trombones

01:16:46or even toothpicks will

01:16:48fit perfectly.

01:16:50Slide this object into the hole.

01:16:52It will fill the space enough

01:16:54for the screw to be reintroduced

01:16:56safely.

01:16:58When you take out the waste,

01:17:00you may end up with

01:17:02garbage juice on you.

01:17:04A good way to avoid this

01:17:06is to place old paper at the bottom of the bag.

01:17:08This not only allows you to absorb

01:17:10all liquids from food

01:17:12but also to prevent the formation

01:17:14of bad odors in the trash.

01:17:16Nobody likes mosquitoes

01:17:18and insecticides are expensive.

01:17:20A good alternative

01:17:22is to take a plastic bottle

01:17:24and cut the top

01:17:26where it takes the shape of a funnel.

01:17:28After removing it,

01:17:30turn it over and put it

01:17:32inside the bottle.

01:17:34Mix two cups of hot water

01:17:36with two tablespoons of sugar.

01:17:38The animals will be attracted by the preparation

01:17:40and will be trapped inside.

01:17:42All you have to do

01:17:44is sit down and relax

01:17:46without fear of being bitten.

01:17:48Supermarket carts

01:17:50have a loop for a good reason.

01:17:52You don't want to leave your jacket

01:17:54in your cart next to a net of onions

01:17:56and potatoes, do you?

01:17:58Hang it on the ring.

01:18:00It is made to help you organize your cart.

01:18:02They also have another storage area

01:18:04at the bottom.

01:18:06When your cart is full,

01:18:08you can make a small basket

01:18:10for additional purchases.

01:18:12Lift the metal rod,

01:18:14put your basket on the horizontal bar

01:18:16above the wheels

01:18:18and secure it with its hooks.

01:18:20If you have parsley stuck between your teeth,

01:18:22try this trick.

01:18:24It can be difficult to remove it

01:18:26with loose dental floss.

01:18:28You need more tension,

01:18:30so make a knot.

01:18:32The stripes on the toothpaste

01:18:34may seem a little strange.

01:18:36The leader of the market

01:18:38added blue stripes

01:18:40to indicate that his toothpaste

01:18:42had a double action.

01:18:44However, the blue hairs

01:18:46on your toothbrush

01:18:48are there for a good reason.

01:18:50They gradually lose their color

01:18:52over time.

01:18:54When the blue has disappeared,

01:18:56it is time to change your toothbrush.

01:18:58Have you ever noticed

01:19:00this little hole

01:19:02under the locks?

01:19:04A drop of oil will make it open

01:19:06and close much more easily.

01:19:08These stripes on the side

01:19:10of the coins are not there for nothing.

01:19:12Previously, the edges were rounded

01:19:14and then melted to create

01:19:16new pieces.

01:19:18But thanks to these patterns,

01:19:20you can easily see if someone

01:19:22has cut the edges.

01:19:24If you have trouble calling an orange,

01:19:26here is another method.

01:19:28First, cut the top and bottom.

01:19:30Make a notch on the side

01:19:32of the metal cap that you see

01:19:34at the orifice of your favorite cream

01:19:36is there for a reason.

01:19:38These tubes are usually sealed

01:19:40with aluminum foil.

01:19:42So unless you want to break your nails

01:19:44trying to open them,

01:19:46turn the cap over and push it.

01:19:48The small rubber disc

01:19:50under each metal bottle cap

01:19:52is not used to reveal

01:19:54if you have won soda for life.

01:19:56This is what keeps

01:19:58your drink tasty and fizzy.

01:20:00These rubber discs

01:20:02keep the gas inside

01:20:04until you drink it.

01:20:06If you use the blue part

01:20:08of your eraser to erase

01:20:10from the pencil,

01:20:12your notebooks will surely

01:20:14be pierced everywhere.

01:20:16The blue side will be used

01:20:18to erase on much thicker paper.

01:20:20It works with pencil

01:20:22and even ink,

01:20:24provided that the paper

01:20:26is thick enough.

01:20:28You still can't do it?

01:20:30Put a little lacquer on your eraser

01:20:32before putting it in your hair.

01:20:34Many bottles of wine

01:20:36have a kind of indentation

01:20:38on their base.

01:20:40It's convenient if you want

01:20:42to have class by pouring your drink.

01:20:44Put your thumb in the indentation

01:20:46and pour.

01:20:48On wine bottles,

01:20:50this is called spitting.

01:20:52Look how happy they are!

01:20:54Try to tear the packaging

01:20:56with your fingers.

01:20:58The more sugar on your fingers,

01:21:00the more paper,

01:21:02the happier your coffee will be.

01:21:04The cotton discs

01:21:06have a string

01:21:08that allows you

01:21:10to hook it

01:21:12in your bathroom.

01:21:14You don't need to loosen

01:21:16and tighten

01:21:18every time you take a disc.

01:21:20Look at the bottom.

01:21:22There is a line ready to be cut.

01:21:24It's important

01:21:26that the germs don't spread.

01:21:28In a few hours,

01:21:30the bad germs are gone.

01:21:32But don't forget

01:21:34to wash your hands

01:21:36anyway.

01:21:38Bottles have a long neck

01:21:40for a good reason.

01:21:42You should hold the neck

01:21:44and not the bottle

01:21:46if you want to enjoy

01:21:48a good fresh drink.

01:21:50It's the same

01:21:52with shoes.

01:21:54The button

01:21:56can't open your bag.

01:21:58You don't have a lock with you?

01:22:00You can also

01:22:02put them together

01:22:04with a string

01:22:06or a trombone

01:22:08or anything

01:22:10that can prevent

01:22:12the pickpockets

01:22:14from succeeding.

01:22:16This little button

01:22:18on your neck

01:22:20can help you

01:22:22keep your shoes

01:22:24from getting wet.

01:22:26Now,

01:22:28put your loop

01:22:30in your bag

01:22:32and tie your shoelaces

01:22:34in the loops.

01:22:36Then,

01:22:38tie your shoelace

01:22:40into the loop

01:22:42to keep it from

01:22:44getting wet.

01:22:46If you find

01:22:48Here's a tip. Don't apply it on the entire length of your hair, but only on the roots.

01:22:54The foam created will flow along your hair.

01:22:57The margins left in the notebooks are not made to take extra notes, or to practice making emojis.

01:23:03They were invented to protect the work of individuals.

01:23:06Before, we lived among lots of hungry rats. They devoured the paper.

01:23:11So we put these margins so that people remember to start their work from the margins,

01:23:16so that they are not lost, devoured by a rat.

01:23:19American goblets, called solo caps, are a key element for any party.

01:23:24But they also have the advantage of being a green-doser to dose their drinks well.

01:23:29The bottom line indicates 30 ml, the second equivalent to 148 ml, and the third to 355 ml.

01:23:37If you like to put milk in your tea, try this trick next time.

01:23:41Pour it by putting the orifice up. It will splash a lot less, and it's easier to control.

01:23:47The headrests are quite comfortable, and the detachable ones are there for your safety.

01:23:52If you remove the headrest, you will see two solid metal bars.

01:23:56If you are stuck or locked in a car, you can always remove the bars to break the glass and escape.

01:24:02The buttons on women's shirts are on the left, even if 85% of people are right-handed.

01:24:07It would be more logical to put them on the right.

01:24:09In fact, at the time, wealthy women had housekeepers to help them get dressed.

01:24:13So for her, having the buttons on the left was easier. You understand?

01:24:18The small tab on your rearview mirror has a real function.

01:24:22You can hang your deodorant, a big stuffed dog, maybe an emoji.

01:24:26But in fact, it's mostly to switch from day mode to night mode.

01:24:30When the night falls, this tab allows you not to be blinded by the car lights behind you.

01:24:35The McFlurry spoon has a square handle.

01:24:38It is directly attached to the machine that makes the ice cream after the sauce and garnish have been poured.

01:24:43The spoon allows you to mix them directly in your pot.

01:24:47It saves time for employees, and it saves water because they don't need to clean the machine after each use.

01:24:55Wooden belts are so top-notch right now.

01:24:57They are much more aesthetic and much more natural than the others.

01:25:00But there is also a good reason to use them.

01:25:03They are made of cedar, a natural repulsive against mites.

01:25:07Small bonus, drop dried orange peels in your closet.

01:25:11No more mites will come and read at home.

01:25:15Have you ever wondered what these additional holes at the top of your sports shoes are for?

01:25:20They are designed so that you can attach the shoes in several different ways.

01:25:24It's useful when you want to compensate for things like a bad run, or even a damaged toe.

01:25:31In addition, you can modify the look of your shoes as you wish.

01:25:37Many people use the cover of their books as a page marker.

01:25:41This is not a problem.

01:25:42Thanks to it, you won't have to frame your pages.

01:25:44But the first objective of a cover is to protect the book from external damage.

01:25:49For example, if you spill fruit juice, or if you drop food on your book while you read it.

01:25:56The tic-tac box has this little groove on top so that you can distribute a single tic-tac at a time.

01:26:02Even if, let's be honest, no one does that.

01:26:05Most of us spill a lot of it at once.

01:26:08Then we put all these tic-tacs back together.

01:26:13These little rubber tips that you see between the tire treads are there for your safety.

01:26:17They tell you what is the minimum height of your tread.

01:26:21If the tips and the edges are even, it's time for you to go to a tire shop as soon as possible.

01:26:27But if the wear witnesses still have a margin compared to the edges, you can ride quietly.

01:26:33What about this black grid on the window of the microwave?

01:26:36This is what we call a Faraday cage.

01:26:39And it's there to prevent microwaves from escaping and turning the whole room into an oven.

01:26:45If the microwaves escape, your meal won't be able to cook properly either.

01:26:49Indeed, this cage is not there to prevent you from seeing your meal properly while it's cooking,

01:26:53but so that the electromagnetic energy stays inside.

01:26:58And why not a screwdriver compatible with a wrench?

01:27:01Grip your screwdriver with the end of your wrench to increase its torsion force.

01:27:06That's why the head of your screwdriver is designed as it is.

01:27:09When you have weird angles, you can use this strategy.

01:27:14You've probably heard this myth before.

01:27:16The blue side of the rubber can erase the pen.

01:27:18That's wrong.

01:27:19Its purpose is also to erase the pencil.

01:27:21But in case you write something on a more robust paper.

01:27:25The blue side can also remove these traces that may remain after using the pink rubber.

01:27:31Have you ever wondered why oranges in supermarkets were most often in red mesh bags?

01:27:36It's a tip for the fruits to have a brighter color, which encourages you to buy them.

01:27:41A bonus tip, don't throw this bag away.

01:27:44Tie it to have enough to cook your pans and clean your sink.

01:27:47Your kitchen appliances as well as your dishes.

01:27:52You can see that golf balls don't have a perfectly round shape.

01:27:56Their surface is covered with many small slits, which golf balls don't always have.

01:28:01At some point, experienced golfers began to notice that over time,

01:28:05the old balls with imperfections, such as notches and bumps, could fly further.

01:28:11These roughness create turbulence in the air around the golf ball,

01:28:15which ends up reducing its drag.

01:28:17Manufacturers therefore began to produce balls with slits,

01:28:21so that they can go further and faster.

01:28:25You may have noticed that there were sometimes small ridges on the top of the toothpicks.

01:28:29It's more hygienic, because when you break it,

01:28:31you can press the toothpick on it and it won't touch anything else.

01:28:38Another safety device that you will find in your car this time is a strap on your rearview mirror.

01:28:44With it, you can change the position of the mirror,

01:28:46so as not to be blinded if there is a car behind you driving in the headlights.

01:28:51This little strap helps you to control the dimming of the lights coming from the rear.

01:28:55This function appeared in the 1930s, but it was only at the beginning of the 1970s

01:28:59that it became a standard equipment for most cars and other trucks.

01:29:05Do you see this little hole on your iPhone,

01:29:07right next to the rear-facing camera?

01:29:09It's a microphone.

01:29:11It's there so that your phone can record the sound when you rotate your camera.

01:29:17Some cables have a thick cylinder at the end of the cord.

01:29:21This is called a ferrite core.

01:29:24It's a magnetic iron oxide that stops electromagnetic interference at high frequencies.

01:29:30Do you see, for example, this annoying static noise

01:29:32that you get if you bring your phone too close to a speaker?

01:29:36It interferes with your call.

01:29:38These cables with large cylinders are rather useful because they prevent this kind of thing.

01:29:45Do you know why almost all luggage bags and backpacks have two zippers?

01:29:49It's much more practical and easier to open it that way.

01:29:52But that's not all.

01:29:54You can also lock these two sliding zippers together

01:29:56so that the things inside your bags are safe.

01:30:00You know how public places' toilets,

01:30:02like shopping centers, have these large spaces at the bottom of the door?

01:30:06It's mainly for better air circulation.

01:30:08This type of door also allows you to clean the toilets more easily

01:30:12or to check if they are occupied when you wait.

01:30:15Apart from that, if you are stuck inside and the lock is broken,

01:30:19you always have a way to escape.

01:30:21You can just crawl out.

01:30:24Have you ever noticed these plastic tips on the cutters?

01:30:28The blade also has a notch,

01:30:30indicating that you can renew it several times,

01:30:33always with sharp edges.

01:30:36You can separate these pieces of blade with these plastic tips.

01:30:39Then, you just have to move the sliding part

01:30:41to push this new blade forward.

01:30:44If you have already taken a moment to examine a supermarket box,

01:30:47in particular its foldable section,

01:30:50you have probably noticed these metal loops that protrude.

01:30:53They are designed to protect the items you carry in your box.

01:30:57You can use them to hang bags containing soft items,

01:31:01such as bread, which you do not want to accidentally crush,

01:31:04with heavier products,

01:31:06or things more easily breakable, such as eggs.

01:31:09Many coffee cups are equipped with curved notches on their bottom.

01:31:13When you wash your cups,

01:31:15place them against the drawer of your dishwasher.

01:31:17In this way, water will not accumulate inside

01:31:20and your favorite cup will be completely dry when you take it out of here.

01:31:25If you are a fan of McFlurry,

01:31:27you have probably already noticed that there was a square hole in the handle of their spoon.

01:31:31It is there so that you can attach it to this special machine,

01:31:34which mixes the ice cream with your favorite toppings.

01:31:38The machine has a bar that slides into this square-shaped spoon

01:31:41and that gently stirs it.

01:31:44And you are given this spoon to minimize damage during the process.

01:31:48Pretty cool, isn't it?

01:31:51An ordinary can of milk usually has a post on the side.

01:31:55Some may see a random design choice,

01:31:58but this can fills several objectives.

01:32:00One of them is to inflate if there is an accumulation of gas.

01:32:04This happens when your milk has turned.

01:32:06Thus, you do not even need to taste it to check.

01:32:09In addition, the can is there so that the bottle does not explode

01:32:12if you drop it accidentally.

01:32:14It allows an expansion space

01:32:16that takes in the sudden pressure that occurs when you drop the bottle.

01:32:21The dental floss.

01:32:23It is obviously important to take care of your teeth

01:32:25and it is easy to guess how to use it.

01:32:27But it is also great in the kitchen

01:32:30because it is a very precise cake cutter.

01:32:33Much more effective than an ordinary knife.

01:32:38Most kitchen scissors have a keyhole opening right here in the center,

01:32:42where the blades and handles meet.

01:32:44This is something you can use to trim difficult herbs like thyme or rosemary.

01:32:49Thanks to this opening,

01:32:51you do not need to remove the leaves by hand either.

01:32:53But you can tear them all in one move.

01:32:57A large part of the yoghurt jars or flans

01:32:59are provided with an aluminum foil lid.

01:33:02And in most cases,

01:33:04you can use this lid as a disposable spoon.

01:33:07Just take it off

01:33:09and after a few simple folds,

01:33:11you will have a small spoon perfect for your 4 hours.

01:33:14The next time you follow a recipe

01:33:16where you have to separate the egg yolks from the whites,

01:33:18try this.

01:33:20Peel a clove of garlic

01:33:22and rub your fingers with it.

01:33:24Gently break an egg into a bowl.

01:33:26With your garlic fingers,

01:33:28pick up the egg yolk.

01:33:30And there you go.

01:33:32You can now marvel at the perfection

01:33:34with which it separates from the white.

01:33:36If you have to scale hard eggs,

01:33:38there are two simple ways to do it.

01:33:40When you boil them,

01:33:42add baking soda to boiling water.

01:33:44This will make scaling much easier.

01:33:46You can also pass them under cold water

01:33:48as soon as they are cooked.

01:33:50The shells will come off much more easily.

01:33:52And you will not burn your hands

01:33:54by tilting them.

01:33:56The edges of the roads

01:33:58have rugged bands for a very important reason.

01:34:00Their main function

01:34:02is to alert the drivers

01:34:04who get stuck behind the wheel.

01:34:06When a car begins to deviate from the road,

01:34:08these tires pass on the bands

01:34:10and alert the driver.

01:34:12Price tags or those

01:34:14that are stuck on the tupperware

01:34:16are easier to remove than you think.

01:34:18No need to waste hot water

01:34:20and soap to try to take them off.

01:34:22Rather take a dry hair,

01:34:24blow hot air directly on the label

01:34:26for a minute or two.

01:34:28And there you go.

01:34:30The label will come off at once.

01:34:32White household appliances

01:34:34can turn yellow over time.

01:34:36To make them shine,

01:34:38apply discoloring cream

01:34:40on the surface.

01:34:42Then wrap the device in plastic

01:34:44and leave it like that all night.

01:34:46The next morning,

01:34:48it will be as white as when you bought it.

01:34:50Opening a can pack

01:34:52can be difficult.

01:34:54You will probably tear a hole in the plastic

01:34:56and try to extract a can from it.

01:34:58In reality, the bottom of the cans

01:35:00was designed to make this step

01:35:02much easier.

01:35:04Take an old can

01:35:06and a new can from the pack.

01:35:08A circle of the exact size of a can

01:35:10will be cut.

01:35:12This way you can easily

01:35:14remove the new can without tearing everything.

01:35:16Now let's move on

01:35:18to squeezing lemons.

01:35:20When you choose lemons,

01:35:22you never know how juicy they are.

01:35:24And often when you bring them home

01:35:26and squeeze them,

01:35:28almost no juice comes out.

01:35:30Heat these lemons in the microwave

01:35:32for 30 seconds before opening them.

01:35:34The juice will come out much more easily.

01:35:36But be careful,

01:35:38they will be hot and you don't want to burn your hands.

01:35:40If you want to listen to music

01:35:42but you don't have a speaker,

01:35:44there is a solution.

01:35:46Put your phone in a cup or a bowl.

01:35:48The sound will be instantly amplified.

01:35:50If you don't have a belt to wear

01:35:52but you still need to hang

01:35:54your shirt,

01:35:56this tip is for you.

01:35:58Most shirts have a tiny loop

01:36:00in the back between the shoulders.

01:36:02You can use it to hang your shirt.

01:36:04Now imagine this nightmare scenario.

01:36:06Your phone has no battery left

01:36:08but you are already late.

01:36:10In this case,

01:36:12activate airplane mode

01:36:14and your phone will charge 100% in no time.

01:36:16You can put the sticky part

01:36:18of a post-it on your laptop keyboard.

01:36:20This will help you

01:36:22to remove small pieces of food

01:36:24and dust that get stuck between the keys.

01:36:26Avoid putting very hot food

01:36:28in plastic containers.

01:36:30Hot plastic releases

01:36:32all kinds of toxic chemicals.

01:36:34And you don't want

01:36:36your food to absorb these substances, do you?

01:36:38What is more pleasant

01:36:40than a hot shower in the evening?

01:36:42The bubbles are not only pretty

01:36:44and fragrant,

01:36:46they also keep the hot water longer.

01:36:48This way, you can enjoy a long bath

01:36:50without getting too cold.

01:36:52You go home with a craving

01:36:54for peanut butter and jam.

01:36:56But your peanut butter

01:36:58has a layer of oil on top.

01:37:00To avoid this the next time,

01:37:02put your peanut butter jar upside down.

01:37:04Your screwdriver

01:37:06and your wrench

01:37:08can work together

01:37:10to remove any sticky screw.

01:37:12Grab the handle of your screwdriver

01:37:14with the wrench

01:37:16and use it to apply more force.

01:37:18This method will also help you

01:37:20to reach more difficult areas.

01:37:22There is a reason why

01:37:24your coffee spoon looks like a straw.

01:37:26Because it reduces the amount of plastic

01:37:28that the manufacturers use.

01:37:30In addition, they prevent the straw from floating.

01:37:32The holes are filled with coffee,

01:37:34which makes it heavier.

01:37:36Speaking of coffee,

01:37:38you should never buy a product

01:37:40that is more than 18 months old.

01:37:42Make sure to look at the expiration date

01:37:44when you choose it.

01:37:46If you have ever had problems

01:37:48with the classic salt and pepper,

01:37:50here is a tip.

01:37:52Instead of shaking your arm

01:37:54while shaking the container,

01:37:56rub the bottom of one of the containers

01:37:58with the bottom of the other.

01:38:00Grab the salt and hold it

01:38:02so that the bottom is turned down.

01:38:04Now, while holding the pepper

01:38:06vertically, rub the two bottoms

01:38:08against each other

01:38:10creating a circular friction.

01:38:12After that, you can pour salt effortlessly.

01:38:14After a long day of hiking,

01:38:16your shoes can have a funny smell.

01:38:18If this is the case,

01:38:20put dry tea bags inside your shoes

01:38:22and keep them in a dry place for a while.

01:38:24The tea bags will absorb

01:38:26the bad odors

01:38:28and make your shoes dry.

01:38:30If you broke the lanyard of your sandal

01:38:32while walking,

01:38:34there is a way to fix it.

01:38:36But only if you have a pair of pliers with you.

01:38:38First, put the lanyard back in its hole.

01:38:40Then, attach the pliers

01:38:42to the bottom of the lanyard.

01:38:44Your body needs

01:38:46a daily amount of vitamin C

01:38:48to strengthen your immune system.

01:38:50But oranges are a difficult fruit

01:38:52to peel.

01:38:54To prevent the juice from being pulverized

01:38:56on your face,

01:38:58start by cutting the upper and lower parts

01:39:00of the orange.

01:39:02Then, cut the skin vertically,

01:39:04slip your fingers under the opposite sides

01:39:06of the cut and open your orange.

01:39:08If it is difficult for you

01:39:10to determine the amount of detergent

01:39:12you need to wash your clothes,

01:39:14here is a tip.

01:39:16Generally, detergent caps

01:39:18contain marks that indicate

01:39:20the exact amount of liquid

01:39:22you need to use for washing.

01:39:24This will also allow your detergent

01:39:26to last longer.

01:39:28Indelible markers are not

01:39:30as indelible as you think.

01:39:32Let's say you used one

01:39:34thinking it was an ordinary marker

01:39:36to draw something on a whiteboard.

01:39:38Good news!

01:39:40Your board is not marked forever.

01:39:42There is a way to save it.

01:39:44Take an ordinary marker

01:39:46and draw over the lines

01:39:48left by the indelible marker.

01:39:50Let it rest for a while

01:39:52so that the two markers mix.

01:39:54The ink of the ordinary marker

01:39:56contains a solvent

01:39:58that will dissolve the pigment

01:40:00that the indelible marker contains.

01:40:02Now, take a paper towel

01:40:04and rub the board to clean it.

01:40:06The marks of the two markers

01:40:08will be easily removed.

01:40:10If you have to peel peaches,

01:40:12use the technique called whitening.

01:40:14Soak the peaches in water

01:40:16for about 20 seconds,

01:40:18then place the peaches in a bowl

01:40:20with cold water and leave them

01:40:22for about 5 minutes.

01:40:24And that's it!

01:40:26The skin will come off much more easily.

01:40:28The plastic lid

01:40:30that covers your bowl

01:40:32can be used as an underglass.

01:40:34Remove the lid

01:40:36and place it on the table.

01:40:38The bottom of the bowl

01:40:40will fit perfectly

01:40:42in the bowl.

01:40:44The hair of the escalators

01:40:46are there for safety reasons.

01:40:48They remain still

01:40:50when the escalator is moving,

01:40:52which prevents people

01:40:54from getting too close to the sides.

01:40:56This avoids accidents

01:40:58like stuck shoe laces.

01:41:00If you pay close attention

01:41:02to the elevator doors,

01:41:04you will notice that they have a small hole.

01:41:06It is a lock hole

01:41:08and only the authorized staff

01:41:10can access it.

01:41:12Do you want to serve yourself a glass

01:41:14before we start?

01:41:16Just make sure you don't

01:41:18grab the glass with your hand.

01:41:20Yep, that's it.

01:41:22The glass has a rod for a good reason.

01:41:24If you touch the glass with your hands,

01:41:26the temperature of the drink

01:41:28will be modified

01:41:30and it will warm up much faster.

01:41:32Since we are in the kitchen,

01:41:34let's look at your refrigerator.

01:41:36Most of them have an area

01:41:38higher than in the refrigerator itself.

01:41:40So it's not the best place

01:41:42to store delicate foods

01:41:44like eggs or dairy products.

01:41:46Don't forget that

01:41:48when you go to the supermarket.

01:41:50By the way,

01:41:52while we go through the contents

01:41:54of the refrigerator,

01:41:56did you know that waiting

01:41:58for the food to cool

01:42:00before refrigerating it

01:42:02can be bad for them?

01:42:04Keeping a food at room temperature

01:42:06can make your food cool faster.

01:42:08What did I just see

01:42:10in your fridge?

01:42:12Chocolate?

01:42:14Well, it's a big NO.

01:42:16Whatever the season,

01:42:18don't keep chocolate

01:42:20in the refrigerator.

01:42:22Low temperatures

01:42:24can weaken the taste of cocoa.

01:42:26Besides, who wants to eat

01:42:28hard chocolate?

01:42:30When it comes to breakfast,

01:42:32the next time you boil an egg,

01:42:34the egg shell will come off

01:42:36much more easily.

01:42:38Another tip is to break the egg

01:42:40on one end and pass it

01:42:42under the tap.

01:42:44The jet of water will allow

01:42:46the shell to come off

01:42:48faster and with much less damage.

01:42:50Do you like smoothies?

01:42:52Did you know that there is

01:42:54a correct way to fill your blender?

01:42:56Start with the liquids,

01:42:58then add the solids

01:43:00as you go along.

01:43:02Then, just add a little

01:43:04dish soap and water

01:43:06to clean it, then turn it.

01:43:08No need to put it in the dishwasher

01:43:10because the complete cycle

01:43:12of the dishwasher can damage

01:43:14the metallic blades of the blender.

01:43:16If you want a peanut butter sandwich

01:43:18but this one is all divided

01:43:20with oil on top,

01:43:22remember that there is a correct way

01:43:24to keep it.

01:43:26By placing the peanut butter pot

01:43:28upside down in your cupboard,

01:43:30the peanut butter will melt

01:43:32evenly.

01:43:34You like a good steak,

01:43:36but you can never get

01:43:38a perfect consistency?

01:43:40You may start too early.

01:43:42You have to let the meat

01:43:44rest after cooking for

01:43:46at least 10 minutes

01:43:48before starting to cut it.

01:43:50The use of a good knife

01:43:52will also give you

01:43:54better results.

01:43:56A well-sharpened knife

01:43:58will give you better results.

01:44:00You now know exactly

01:44:02how much pasta to boil

01:44:04for your special marinara sauce.

01:44:06When you use non-stick pans,

01:44:08never use metal utensils.

01:44:10Choose wooden or plastic utensils.

01:44:12Metal is way too hard

01:44:14for the surface of your pans

01:44:16and can damage the non-stick surface.

01:44:18Are you the kind of person

01:44:20who keeps leftovers for dinner?

01:44:22Yes, well, me too, you know.

01:44:24A little tip to heat your dinner

01:44:26is to remove the food

01:44:28from the edges of the plate.

01:44:30Microwaves are designed to heat

01:44:32the food as evenly as possible,

01:44:34but not if the food is stacked.

01:44:36Have you ever tried to take

01:44:38a single tic-tac out of its little box?

01:44:40Just turn the box on its side.

01:44:42A small notch is provided

01:44:44for this effect on the upper plastic part.

01:44:46No need to shake the tic-tac box

01:44:48like a madman.

01:44:50If you want to listen to music

01:44:52but you don't have a speaker

01:44:54just put your phone in a cup or a bowl.

01:44:56The sound will be amplified

01:44:58and your experience will be much better.

01:45:00Are you in a hurry and your phone

01:45:02has no battery left?

01:45:04There is a simple way to reduce

01:45:06the charging time.

01:45:08Just put the phone in airplane mode.

01:45:10You'll see, it will charge 100%

01:45:12in no time.

01:45:14We all keep our phones

01:45:16in all kinds of places.

01:45:18Our pockets, our bags,

01:45:20under our pillows.

01:45:22For security reasons,

01:45:24you have to turn off your phone

01:45:26before cleaning it.

01:45:28You can use specially designed tools

01:45:30to clean the charging ports,

01:45:32the speakers or the microphone.

01:45:34Just go slowly.

01:45:36Nice desk you have there.

01:45:38Did you know that these little feet

01:45:40at the back of the keyboard

01:45:42are actually there to help you

01:45:44see the keys better?

01:45:46However, if you can type

01:45:48without looking at the keyboard,

01:45:50it will be much easier.

01:45:52If you like to keep your things organized

01:45:54and you prefer to use post-its,

01:45:56just make sure to remove them

01:45:58from the post-it cube

01:46:00from one side to the other

01:46:02to prevent them from rolling.

01:46:04We all feel a little overwhelmed

01:46:06when it comes to storage,

01:46:08especially when it comes

01:46:10to home laundry.

01:46:12A simple way to make sure

01:46:14that you will never mix the sheets

01:46:16is to store each set

01:46:18of post-its in a plastic bag.

01:46:20However, people use wooden post-its

01:46:22for other reasons than aesthetic reasons.

01:46:24They may be bigger and heavier

01:46:26than plastic post-its,

01:46:28but they can also help

01:46:30to push the limits.

01:46:32Keep that in mind,

01:46:34especially when you store

01:46:36winter clothes.

01:46:38You have never been curious

01:46:40to know what this little

01:46:42additional opening

01:46:44in your racing shoes hides?

01:46:46Take your time and use

01:46:48this additional loop

01:46:50in your shoes if necessary

01:46:52before running.

01:46:54Your shirts also have a little secret.

01:46:56In the middle of the shirt,

01:46:58just between the shoulders,

01:47:00there is a small loop

01:47:02that you can use to hang

01:47:04the clothes when you don't

01:47:06have a belt in your hand.

01:47:08Nothing would be better

01:47:10to waste good holidays

01:47:12than poorly organized luggage.

01:47:14This way,

01:47:16you will save a lot of space,

01:47:18you will have easy access

01:47:20to everything you need,

01:47:22and your clothes will be less frizzy.

01:47:24I don't want to be indiscreet,

01:47:26but there are several things

01:47:28I would like to show you

01:47:30in the bathroom too.

01:47:32Wash your hands for at least

01:47:3420 seconds to get rid

01:47:36of all the germs.

01:47:38To save effort,

01:47:40open and close the tap

01:47:42for longer.

01:47:44Always brush your hair

01:47:46from the bottom if you want

01:47:48to get rid of knots.

01:47:50Brushing your hair from the top

01:47:52will only damage them more.

01:47:54When you wash them,

01:47:56make sure to concentrate

01:47:58the shampoo on the scalp.

01:48:00However, make sure

01:48:02to never apply the shampoo

01:48:04directly on your head.

01:48:06Make it foam a little

01:48:08with water between your hands

01:48:10if they are really dirty.

01:48:12The foam that comes down

01:48:14from your scalp is enough

01:48:16to clean this part.

01:48:18Also take care of your loofah.

01:48:20If you leave it in a wet

01:48:22and hot shower,

01:48:24it may accumulate

01:48:26all kinds of unpleasant

01:48:28bacteria.

01:48:30Throw it in your dirty

01:48:32laundry once a week

01:48:34or let it soak

01:48:36in a diluted Javel solution.

01:48:38Don't put too much cream

01:48:40on your face.

01:48:42And make sure to tap

01:48:44and not rub.

01:48:46Your skin will thank you

01:48:48for that.

01:48:50It is not necessary

01:48:52to be a dentist

01:48:54to know how important

01:48:56it is to use dental floss.

01:48:58Next time,

01:49:00try to make a knot

01:49:02with your dental floss.

01:49:04Thanks to the extra

01:49:06dental floss,

01:54:04Oh,

01:54:06Oh,

01:54:12Oh,

01:54:16If we look at them more closely, it turns out that these wooden tools have a square-shaped end.

01:54:22The chopsticks made in this way are from an old Japanese traditional design

01:54:27that makes it easy to break the ends.

01:54:30The separate end can then be used as a support for the chopsticks

01:54:34in order to keep them cleaner, in the hope that they can be reused

01:54:38since they will not touch the table or any other surface.

01:54:41Women's bikes have a special design that surprisingly has a historical and fashionable function.

01:54:47The lower frame is largely intended to compensate for the generally smaller size of women

01:54:53compared to that of a normal man.

01:54:55If this is the case for the handlebars and the saddle,

01:54:57the general frame is lower for an additional reason.

01:55:00At the time when women wore long skirts and dresses all day,

01:55:04every day they had to make sure that their clothes would not get stuck in the frame.

01:55:08This is how we designed a bike with a lower frame,

01:55:11perfectly adapted to women and their needs of the time.

01:55:14The fact that the toothpaste is multicolored

01:55:17is not only a nice advantage to make dental hygiene more fun.

01:55:21There is a secret explanation related to each of the colors, which dates back to the 1970s.

01:55:27At that time, people were increasingly interested in their oral dental health

01:55:31and were therefore looking for products that could do more than just brush their teeth.

01:55:36A company was the first to do this by adding a mouthwash to its toothpaste,

01:55:41that is, the blue strip.

01:55:43It then added the red strip,

01:55:45intended to contain ingredients that help you take care of your gums.

01:55:49Speaking of toothpaste, check the cap the next time you open a new tube,

01:55:53you might have a little surprise.

01:55:55There is a kind of pointed cone inside the cap,

01:55:59which allows you to pierce the toothpaste seal without cutting yourself or damaging your nail.

01:56:04Not to mention that it is more hygienic

01:56:05since you will not be able to transfer germs or other bacteria into the product itself.

01:56:10As for the articles to be placed on the counter of the bathroom,

01:56:13toothbrushes are equipped with a very practical accessory,

01:56:16hidden in the hairs.

01:56:19In addition to giving the toothbrush a cooler look,

01:56:22they also have a practical purpose.

01:56:24Most toothbrushes are equipped with a pattern of blue hairs

01:56:27intertwined in white hairs.

01:56:29This blue tint is intended to pale

01:56:31to indicate when you should replace your toothbrush.

01:56:35Dentists say that toothbrushes must be replaced every 3 to 4 months,

01:56:39but this gives you a good reminder in case you forget.

01:56:43Do you still like to play with Legos?

01:56:45I don't judge you, it's an excellent hobby for all ages.

01:56:48Note that there is a hole above the heads of Legos.

01:56:51This is a safety device that Legos people have designed to avoid the risk of suffocation.

01:56:57The most dangerous problem if a person swallows one of these pieces

01:57:01is obstruction of the respiratory tract.

01:57:03The presence of a hole inside the Lego head

01:57:06allows the air to circulate freely through the piece

01:57:09until it can be removed safely.

01:57:13We are now used to all kinds of modern bulbs,

01:57:16some in tubular shape,

01:57:17others in diamond shape,

01:57:19and others still completely twisted.

01:57:21Historically, the bulbs were round,

01:57:23and this initial shape was useful in itself.

01:57:26It was mainly due to the fact that the glass bulbs were blown by hand,

01:57:31which gave them this round shape at the beginning.

01:57:33The practical reason was that the filament of the bulb

01:57:37had to be at the same distance from each surface of the glass sphere.

01:57:41The easiest way to achieve this was to make the glass in the shape of a globe.

01:57:48How many hidden functions are there in your car that you have never heard of?

01:57:52Nowadays, most cars have a color code under their hood.

01:57:56It is thus much easier to know what you have to keep an eye on between two inspections,

01:58:01such as the gauge, the oil cap, or the cooling liquid.

01:58:05You can even take a look at the brake fluid and the washing liquid.

01:58:09For everything that is black or gray, you have to leave it to the mechanics.

01:58:14Have you ever seen a snowflake-shaped light on the dashboard of your car?

01:58:19It is not there to warn you about the arrival of winter holidays,

01:58:21if that's what you think.

01:58:23In fact, it is a sensor that indicates the outside ambient temperature.

01:58:27It turns on and makes the light appear when there is a danger to the road

01:58:31due to a sudden drop in temperature.

01:58:36Sometimes, a sound warning or a message on your dashboard

01:58:39warns you that the roads may be covered in ice

01:58:42so that you can adjust your speed or change tires if necessary.

01:58:48Most cars are also equipped with special devices for the summer,

01:58:52such as sunshades.

01:58:54Yours may have an additional bonus that you may want to discover.

01:58:58We all know that they rotate to help the driver even when the sun is not shining in the face,

01:59:03but some of them can also deploy

01:59:06so that they can provide shade to a larger surface.

01:59:10If you see that yours is not extendable, there is a simple solution.

01:59:14Buy a sunshade extender. You can even find one online.

01:59:18It attaches to your sunshade or your existing windows

01:59:21to provide better protection against the sun and better visibility.

01:59:26Let's discover some hidden features at home.

01:59:29It's not a witchcraft, but there is a bad way to make ice in the freezer.

01:59:34And that's because you probably don't use the ice tray properly.

01:59:39They have this particular shape because you have to fill the trays

01:59:42until there is a layer of water on top.

01:59:45This layer allows you to quickly remove the ice from the tray

01:59:49because it breaks when you twist it and lets out all the ice.

01:59:53You can then catch them in the blink of an eye and taste your drink.

01:59:58If you find that the heat in your oven is too high

02:00:00or if you have to cook difficult dishes that require better temperature control,

02:00:05there is an easy way to adjust it.

02:00:09The buttons in your oven must be equipped with calibrating screws at the back.

02:00:13Remove the plastic button and adjust it according to your preferences.

02:00:17Make sure to unplug the oven from any source of energy before doing so.

02:00:22Do you know what your cook and your car have in common?

02:00:25They both have a hood that you can open if you need to take a look

02:00:30or if they need to be cleaned.

02:00:32If you look carefully at the top of your cook,

02:00:35you will see two hinges located at the level of the rear edges.

02:00:39You can easily lift them up and clean all the dirt that was stuck inside.

02:00:45Have you ever wondered why the glue doesn't stick inside the bottle?

02:00:49The answer is a little more complex depending on the type of glue,

02:00:54but the simple answer is that there is no air inside.

02:00:59PVA glue contains molecules called polymers and water.

02:01:04When the glue comes out, the water evaporates, leaving behind only the adhesive polymers.

02:01:10The situation is more or less the opposite with superglue.

02:01:13It contains a chemical that solidifies as soon as it comes in contact with the water vapors in the air.

02:01:21Did you know that Microsoft Word has a function that you can use for references and bibliography?

02:01:26This function is not only useful for keeping a track of everything,

02:01:29but it also automatically puts all the corresponding information on the page.

02:01:35If you like to surround yourself with lots of plants inside,

02:01:37here is a simple way to know if they need to be watered.

02:01:42Put your finger in the ground.

02:01:43This should give you a better idea than just looking at the surface of the plant.

02:01:48If you can penetrate 5 to 7 cm into the ground and you feel that it is dry,

02:01:53the plant most likely needs to be watered.

02:01:56However, this trick works better with small plants in pots,

02:02:00because the depth is more limited.

02:02:02In any case, it is always preferable to look for the needs of the plant in terms of watering and sunlight

02:02:08before getting involved in a project.

02:02:10And always be careful not to damage its roots.

02:02:15Be honest, there are clothes that you wear all the time,

02:02:18and others that remain at the bottom of your closet and that you have probably forgotten.

02:02:22Here is an ingenious way to know which is which.

02:02:26To begin with, you have to turn all your belts upside down.

02:02:30If you really want to invest in this project,

02:02:33you can put pieces of tape on the belts and write the start date on each of them.

02:02:39After that, everything is quite simple.

02:02:43Every time you wear a particular garment, turn the belt so that it is turned forward.

02:02:48After 6 months or a year, all the items that have not yet been turned over

02:02:53must go to donations or auction houses.

02:02:56Another good way to use the belts to help you organize your wardrobe

02:03:00is to use them for your scarves.

02:03:03They will no longer be crumpled, but you will also be able to see them much better

02:03:06and have a clear view of the scarves that you are actually using

02:03:09and the ones that you should drop.

02:03:13If you are looking to increase the storage space of your wardrobe,

02:03:16especially during the change of season,

02:03:18go and buy vacuum-packed storage bags.

02:03:22Then, all you have to do is fold your clothes or other pieces of clothing,

02:03:26such as sheets or blankets, for example, and place them in the bags.

02:03:32Turn on your vacuum cleaner, place the tip on the seal of the bag

02:03:35and remove all the holes in the bag.

02:03:38This will allow you to reduce the size of clothing storage

02:03:41and keep the clothes clean, dry and without mites.

02:03:45If you have an empty basket that is dragging around

02:03:47and you are not yet sure if you want to recycle it,

02:03:49you can always turn it into a lamp.

02:03:52Stainless baskets are the most appropriate for this.

02:03:56All you have to do is cut a small hole in the bottom of the basket

02:03:59and place a kit of lamps to hang in this place.

02:04:02You can even paint it by hand or with a pump

02:04:04if you need it to be a particular color.

02:04:08Another way to properly reuse objects in the house

02:04:12is to use biscuit jars to store drying balls,

02:04:15but there is no limit here.

02:04:18You can also use drying sheets to dust off the screens of your house,

02:04:22such as those of computers, cell phones or TVs.

02:04:26These items are charged electrically

02:04:28and therefore generally attract a lot of dust particles.

02:04:32Drying sheets are designed to reduce static electricity adhesion,

02:04:37which not only eliminates dust,

02:04:39but also keeps it at a distance for a longer period of time.

02:04:43Drying sheets are also useful if you have a bad day with your hair,

02:04:48believe it or not.

02:04:49They can help you tame rebellious wicks

02:04:52when your frizzles become uncontrollable.

02:04:54Pass one of these drying sheets from the root of your hair to the tip

02:04:58and you'll be surprised.

02:05:00If you like the smell of a soap bar in particular

02:05:03and you want to find it on your clothes too,

02:05:05take one of these bars to make a clothes freshener.

02:05:09Place it in a fabric and then put it anywhere between your clothes.

02:05:13Your shirts will smell wonderfully good every time you take them

02:05:17and you can also save on the softener.

02:05:20I don't know about your laundry,

02:05:22but mine loves to jump, I assure you.

02:05:25If yours tends to leave its place,

02:05:27especially during intense drying cycles,

02:05:29it's because it's not perfectly fixed to the floor.

02:05:32The good news is that most modern washing machines

02:05:35can self-level since they are equipped with a pair of feet.

02:05:38Just lift the back of the machine from the surface on which it rests

02:05:42so that it drops them and locks them in place

02:05:45once perfectly leveled.
