00:00A label on your panties digging into your most sensitive spots is definitely not the
00:05best feeling.
00:06Sure, you can cut it off, but often that just leaves even sharper corners that can be more
00:11annoying.
00:12But what if you've been cutting those labels wrong this whole time?
00:16Check it out.
00:17On the left, the label is sewn into the seam, while on the right, it's just hanging on by
00:22a couple of threads.
00:23Just snip those threads, and voila!
00:26It's like the label was never even there.
00:29Plus, with this little hack, you can always pick panties in the store that are guaranteed
00:33to be comfy.
00:35If you've traveled to Europe recently, you may have noticed how nasty the bottle caps
00:39have become.
00:40Yeah, according to the law, they now have to scratch your nose.
00:44Oops, sorry, they have to be attached right to the bottle.
00:47If these bottles annoy you too, try this.
00:50Once you open the bottle, rotate the cap 90 degrees, and pull until one of the plastic
00:55connections breaks.
00:57And finally, turn the bottle until the cap touches your chin, not your nose, and drink.
01:04You've been using the colander in the wrong way all this time.
01:07This smart kitchen device has a hidden function.
01:10The traditional way of draining noodles involves dumping boiled noodles into a colander, right?
01:16But if your colander is about the same size as your pot, try this instead.
01:21Place the colander on top of the pot with the noodles, like a lid, and drain the water
01:25out.
01:26This method is faster and less messy, and it keeps your noodles in the pot where they
01:31belong.
01:34Toilet plungers and sink plungers are quite different, and the toilet version has a handy
01:38rubber flap, called a flange, that pops out from the cup.
01:42This flange fits snugly over toilet drains, giving you strong suction to tackle stubborn
01:48clogs.
01:50While a sink plunger won't help with toilet troubles, the toilet plunger can work on your
01:54sink or tub.
01:56Just make sure to keep that flap tucked inside the cup.
01:59And don't forget to give it a thorough clean with bleach before switching from toilet to
02:03sink use.
02:04You definitely don't want to mix things up.
02:08If you still work in an office, next time you print out something, make sure to check
02:12out this stapler built right into the printer.
02:15It can staple all the documents that fit in the slot at the same time.
02:19By the way, it's not something new.
02:22Such printers have been around since the 90s.
02:26Why buy a ruler and spend your hard-earned dollars if you can simply use a dollar bill
02:31to measure whatever you want?
02:33Only as long as this whatever is somewhere around 6 inches.
02:38A dollar bill is just about this size.
02:42Even though many people are sure that those tiny holes on the bottom left side of your
02:46iPhone are the speaker, they're actually a microphone.
02:50And speaking of iPhones, if you've got one of the latest models and your phone is out
02:54of juice but there's no socket to be found nearby, here's a nifty trick.
02:59Grab a double-ended charger cord and connect it to another iPhone 15.
03:04Boom!
03:05Your phone gets a little power boost.
03:08I bet you've noticed that the hook on a tape measure is a little loose.
03:11Well, that's intentional.
03:13The hook moves just enough to account for its own thickness, ensuring both inside and
03:18outside measurements are accurate.
03:20So if you ever thought it was broken, nope, it's just doing its job.
03:24As for the hole at the end, it's for placing the tape on the edge of a nail to get measurements
03:29from odd spots.
03:32The pockets on new suits are sewn shut to keep the jacket's shape during transportation
03:37and display.
03:38Of course, you can unpick them to use the pockets but you need to be careful with what
03:42you put there.
03:44Anything heavy can easily distort the suit's shape.
03:47The important thing though is to remember to cut the threads holding the back vents
03:51together for better movement and comfort.
03:53Oh, and remember to cut those tacky stitches that fasten your new coat's vent, that flap
03:59on the back.
04:00Now, that sink squeegee thing actually hides a big secret.
04:06It can store water.
04:08Many sink squeegees have tiny holes that allow water to stay inside.
04:12But why would we need that water?
04:15Oh, you can release it as you squeegee, which will help you rinse the sink as you clean
04:19it.
04:20Here's a travel tip that will help you understand US highways.
04:25In the US, highways with even numbers run east-west and those with odd numbers run north-south.
04:32If a highway number starts with an odd digit, it's a spur, which means it doesn't reconnect
04:37to the main highway.
04:39If it starts with an even digit, it's a loop around or through a city that eventually
04:43reconnects with the main highway.
04:46And finally, numbers divisible by five are major highways meant for cross-country travel.
04:54Your iPhone camera can also translate laundry symbols, identify plants, and even recognize
05:00some bird species.
05:02It's like having a mini-encyclopedia in your pocket.
05:06Another trick, when using the markup feature while editing your photos, you might want
05:11to highlight a part of a picture.
05:13Put a circle around the needed area and keep your finger pressed down at the end of the
05:17stroke.
05:18Voila!
05:19Instead of a misshapen circle, you get a perfect one.
05:22It also works for squares, triangles, and stars.
05:26Barilla, probably the most famous pasta in the world, has teamed up with Spotify to create
05:32playlists that match the cooking time for different pasta shapes.
05:36Just start the playlist when you drop the pasta into boiling water.
05:40And when the music stops, your pasta is ready.
05:44Toasters have crumb trays at the bottom that you can and should clean regularly.
05:50Just slide it out and dump the crumbs.
05:52It's an easy way to keep your toaster clean and working well.
05:57You can use Google Maps to share your location in real time.
06:01Just tap your account icon, select Location Sharing, and choose how long to share.
06:06Your friends can track your progress and be ready when you arrive.
06:09You can also save your parking location by clicking the blue dot.
06:14Do you know that the knobs on some ovens have calibration screws on the back?
06:19You can adjust them to get more accurate temperature control.
06:22It'll definitely help you avoid overcooking or undercooking your meals.
06:28In non-prepaid gas stations in the U.S., try pressing Enter before swiping your debit or
06:33credit card.
06:34It'll take you to the prepaid screen, and you can enter the amount you need manually.
06:41If you're drinking outside on a windy day, place some coins in an empty cup, and then
06:46put the cup you're drinking from inside the first one.
06:49The weight of the coins will help you keep your drink from getting blown over.
06:53Simple, but effective.
06:56Once you've peeled your potato, you might spot some tiny divots, known as eyes, that
07:01still have some skin on them.
07:04Many peelers come with a handy scoop designed to tackle these little guys.
07:08Just take the scoop, dig in, and pop them out.
07:11Easy peasy.
07:12Your favorite potato recipe will be totally eye-free in no time.
07:18A cell phone's camera can help you to figure out whether your remote is working.
07:23The camera is sensitive to infrared, so you just need to turn it on and point the remote
07:27at the camera while pressing the remote's buttons.
07:30You'll see the LED flashing in response.
07:33If you spot nothing, something is definitely wrong with the remote.
07:38Bonus fact here!
07:40White vinegar isn't just for cooking, it's also the real laundry hero.
07:44If you add it to your laundry, it'll take out all the bad smells from your clothes.
07:49The amount to add can be anywhere from a splash to a cup during the wash.
07:54And don't worry about the vinegar smell, it washes away completely, leaving your clothes
07:58fresh.
07:59It's also great for removing hard water buildup.
