00:00For all those days when you barely have time for breakfast, there's an easy way to enjoy a nice and
00:05fast meal.
00:06And it will also save you the hassle of doing the dishes afterwards.
00:10I'm talking about instant oatmeal packets.
00:13Some manufacturers have added this neat design to the oatmeal.
00:17The packet is lined with plastic, so you can directly pour water or milk straight into it.
00:22This way, you won't have to use a bowl anymore.
00:26You place the liquid in and shake.
00:28Some packaging also has a demarcation line to show how much liquid should go inside the pack for that quantity.
00:36Next time you have to switch apartments, you won't have to worry about carrying that heavy box of books.
00:42These days, most moving boxes are specially designed for easy transportation with built-in handles.
00:48Well, they're not actually handled.
00:50I'll admit, they're basically just holes inside the cardboard box on the sides.
00:55But if you slip your hands in, you'll surely notice the boxes become way easier to carry than picking them
01:01up altogether.
01:03With the onset of so many online reading options, like e-books or even apps on your phone that allow
01:10you to download novels,
01:11you've most likely forgotten about your local library.
01:14And hey, I'm not blaming you!
01:17But libraries these days offer a lot more services than you're used to, apart from free books and audiobook rental.
01:24Some of them have a variety of evening classes or can provide access to online courses.
01:30You may even be able to join a book club, which is a great way to meet new people,
01:34and you're guaranteed to get out of that reading slump you've been stuck in.
01:39I enjoy picking up dinner on my way home from my favorite takeout place, just as you do.
01:44But if the food containers are not completely sealed shut, the ride back can prove itself quite the culinary experience,
01:50if you know what I mean.
01:52Especially for the carpets in your car.
01:56Some cars have a curry hook near the center console, next to the driver's seat.
02:00It has been popular for 20 years and started as a handbag holder or a hook for a small shopping
02:05bag.
02:07But it quickly became the perfect way to store takeaway food and avoid spilling.
02:13I'm almost sure there's an umbrella somewhere in your car,
02:16but if I were to ask you where you're storing it, you'd most likely say, the truck, of course.
02:21But is that really the best place to keep it?
02:24Wouldn't you want to have an umbrella at hand, right when you get out of the car?
02:28Some car companies have thought about that, and don't worry,
02:31they don't come with a built-in butler to help you get out of the car all dry.
02:36Some specific models have a designated place in the driver's door panel that perfectly fits an umbrella.
02:42You have to admit, it's an important thing to consider when researching your next car,
02:45more so if you live in a rainy location.
02:49Whenever I plan to travel to a new location,
02:52I like to have access to the local maps on my phone at any given time.
02:56Since you can't always foresee the quality or price of the internet in foreign countries,
03:01be sure to download the maps on your phone when connected to Wi-Fi.
03:05This way, you'll have easy access to all the must-see locations on your next city break,
03:10even if you run out of mobile data.
03:13The same goes for Google Translate.
03:15The mobile app comes with the option of downloading a language,
03:18so you'll be able to use it offline.
03:21Another nice tip if you're more of the traveler type.
03:24If you own an iPhone, text an airline code and flight number to yourself.
03:29You'll then notice it will show up with an underline.
03:31When clicking on it, you'll be able to pull up flight data,
03:34like the gate the flight leaves from, or if the flight is on schedule.
03:40Flashlights are those objects that we tend to reach out for in an emergency,
03:44like whenever there's a power break,
03:46or when you need to take a quick trip in the attic for an old photo album or something.
03:50If you're ever in a sticky situation and the flashlight runs out of battery,
03:54have a look at its base under the battery spring.
03:57Some models come with a spare bulb hidden in there.
04:02If you're the type of person that likes to wake up early in the morning,
04:05but the rest of the people in your house enjoy sleeping in,
04:08there's a way you can still use your microwave
04:10to prepare breakfast without waking everyone up.
04:13It turns out, some of them come with a built-in mute function
04:16that gets rid of all the annoying rings and beeps.
04:21In the many times I've found myself driving on local roadways,
04:24I've noticed some apparently random blue reflectors here and there.
04:28Since I had no idea what they were,
04:30I did some research and found out they actually pinpoint the locations of fire hydrants.
04:35They're generally offset from the center line on either side,
04:38and the offset side tells if the hydrant is on the left or right side of the road
04:43to assist firefighters on their missions better.
04:47Next time you get out of the car and forget to close all the windows,
04:51you won't have to get back in there.
04:53Just try this.
04:54Hold the keys on the door of your car pressed,
04:56and it should lock all the doors and shut all the windows.
05:00The same goes with opening all the doors.
05:03Just double-click the button.
05:05Most car models should come with this added option,
05:07but most people just forget or have no idea that they can do that.
05:12Whenever you're in that awkward position of messing up a voicemail,
05:16do you know there's a way you can delete or re-record the message,
05:19saving you the unnecessary embarrassment?
05:22Stay online after recording the message
05:24and dial either pound, number sign, or star, asterisk,
05:28to access the voicemail menu.
05:30Further instructions should be provided
05:32so you can decide what to do with the recording.
05:36Bagels are becoming more and more famous these days
05:39on options for breakfast or snacks
05:41because they're so tasty and so versatile.
05:44The problem is, I only want my bagel toasted on one side.
05:48Thankfully, some toasters come with a bagel setting,
05:52which ensures the pastry is toasted on either one of the two sides.
05:57Ever wondered why manhole covers only come in that round shape?
06:01It turns out that this is the only shape
06:03that cannot fall through the hole altogether.
06:06Any other shape, especially shapes with corners,
06:09could be rotated so that the lid could fall through.
06:13Here's a neat one if you enjoy a little massage
06:15whenever you're taking a shower.
06:17On most of the shower heads available these days,
06:19there should be a small metal filter in the back
06:22beneath the shower head once you unscrew it.
06:25If you give this piece a rough cleaning once in a while,
06:28you'll find the water pressure to be greatly improved.
06:33You may be able to save that wool sweater
06:35you've accidentally thrown in the washer
06:37and has shrunken down three sizes.
06:39Just go in the shower and grab a bottle of hair conditioner.
06:42Add it to some cold water in a tub and make a solution
06:46and let the garment sit there for at least a couple of hours.
06:49The conditioner should help relax the wool fibers
06:52and loosen them back up,
06:54not to mention how nice it should smell afterwards.
06:58You might need to do a bit of research
07:01before you can safely use this trick.
07:03But just so that you know,
07:04there are some modern laptops with drainage channels.
07:08Mm-hmm, you heard that right.
07:09Precisely when you accidentally spilled coffee on it,
07:12they're designed to ensure any liquid that gets on the keyboard
07:15safely drains out at the bottom
07:16without damaging the electrical parts.
07:19Just make sure to not shake the laptop
07:21after you've spilled the liquid
07:22so that the system can do its job correctly.
07:30Trains used to make people mad.
07:32During the Victorian era,
07:34there was this rumor that the swaying motion
07:36of train carriages made passengers,
07:38especially men, go a bit crazy,
07:41leading to some strange and dangerous behavior.
07:44The so-called railway madness
07:46was supposedly triggered by the noise of the train.
07:50To make things worse,
07:51carriages were locked for privacy reasons back then,
07:54so people found themselves stuck in tiny spaces
07:57with lunatics who could snap at any moment.
08:02If you see someone putting ketchup on some car,
08:06it doesn't mean you're witnessing them preparing a prank.
08:09It means they're just taking care of their car.
08:12Yup, it goes great with hamburgers and hot dogs,
08:15but it goes even better with cars
08:18since it has ingredients that are good at removing rust.
08:21Rust occurs when the metal gets exposed to moisture,
08:25oxygen, and heat,
08:27and due to weather conditions,
08:29it's hard to avoid it.
08:30When you leave rust for a longer time
08:33and don't deal with it,
08:34it will continue to degrade the metal.
08:37So, you need to get rid of it
08:39before your car becomes physically useless.
08:43That's when ketchup comes in.
08:45It's key ingredient is tomatoes,
08:47and they have many nutrients
08:49similar to those you can find in oranges
08:52and some other citrus fruits.
08:55For instance,
08:56citric acid can help you remove rust from metal surfaces
08:59since it eats through rust.
09:01We're not talking about the cars only.
09:04You can use it on metallic kitchenwares,
09:06furniture parts,
09:08jewelry,
09:08and rust spots on generally any metallic item.
09:12You can combine it with washing soda.
09:15It's not quite effective against rust,
09:17but when you combine it with ketchup,
09:19it'll do the work.
09:21Mix these two and apply them to the rusted area.
09:25Leave it like that for about half an hour
09:27and wash it with a wet cloth or sponge.
09:31You can combine ketchup with salt instead,
09:34or just apply a lot of it on the rusty area
09:38without using any additional ingredients.
09:41Ketchup removes tarnish from brass copper too.
09:45Put it on brass hardware on doors and cabinets,
09:48or some accessories such as bowls and candlesticks
09:51for 10 minutes to make it all shine.
09:54And also,
09:56you don't put it on meat just because of taste.
09:59Ketchup breaks down its fibers,
10:01which means it makes it more tender.
10:03Locking handles as we know them
10:05were only invented relatively recently,
10:07in 1878.
10:09Before that,
10:10people had to get pretty inventive
10:12to secure their homes.
10:13Most folks used a latch string.
10:15They'd make a small hole in the door,
10:18thread a leather thong or string through it,
10:19and then loop it around a wooden bar.
10:22Even after doorknobs were invented,
10:24only the wealthy could afford a proper lock and key.
10:28Vacuum cleaners had a rough start too.
10:31The first one was invented in 1901,
10:33but it was so huge that it wouldn't fit inside houses.
10:36Instead,
10:37vacuuming was offered as a mobile service.
10:40The machines were parked outside,
10:41and long hoses were fed through the windows.
10:44And to get to the client's house,
10:46these large cleaning machines were actually pulled by horses.
10:51Back in the day,
10:52animals even used to pull strollers.
10:55Yep,
10:55with kids inside.
10:56The stroller was first developed in 1733
11:00for the daughters and sons of a British nobleman,
11:03who might have been a bit too lazy
11:04to walk with them every day.
11:06So,
11:07the first model was basically
11:08a shell-shaped basket on wheels
11:10that could be pulled by a goat or a small pony.
11:13This small chariot was cute,
11:16but probably not the safest way to get around.
11:20Refrigerators also used to be a bit scary.
11:22From the late 1800s until 1929,
11:25they used toxic gases like ammonia,
11:28methyl chloride,
11:29and sulfur dioxide to cool things down.
11:32People were so concerned about gas leaks
11:34that they began leaving their refrigerators in the backyard
11:37instead of keeping them in the kitchen.
11:39This danger even inspired Albert Einstein
11:42to create a new model.
11:43In 1926,
11:45Einstein and his former student,
11:47Leo Seelard,
11:48invented a refrigerator with no moving parts
11:50using safer, environmentally friendly gases
11:53to reduce the risk of toxic leaks.
11:56But it had one problem.
11:58Einstein's refrigerator was less efficient
12:00than existing appliances,
12:02so it wasn't commercially appealing.
12:05If you ever find yourself casually wandering in the forests of Estonia,
12:09don't freak out if you see some giant megaphones.
12:12These wooden, acoustic giants were set three hours away from the country's capital
12:18by interior architecture students.
12:20That's way cooler than the hamster roller coaster I once built for a science fair,
12:24I have to admit.
12:26More than half of Estonia is covered by woods,
12:29and they're pretty proud of this natural wealth.
12:31So it's not the first art project of this kind,
12:34and there was a winding, elevated pathway and a faceted woodland cabin.
12:38The idea of the megaphones is to crank up the natural sounds of a forest
12:43and also to serve as a rest spot for hikers.
12:48These wooden beauties are large enough to host several people.
12:52And hey, if you walk this far into the woodland,
12:55you'll be thankful for this.
12:57The students were given a task to invent some concepts of a forest library.
13:02They built the megaphones off-site and brought them to their permanent spots.
13:06They're set in such a way that sounds from three directions meet in the center
13:11and create a cool, natural surround sound effect.
13:14Thankfully, kitchen supplies, including our beloved grills, have come a long way.
13:19Back in the 1950s, a metalworker named George Stephen had a brilliant idea
13:24while trying to create the perfect steak.
13:27Frustrated with flare-ups and uneven cooking,
13:29he decided to cut an old ocean buoy in half.
13:32This allowed him to control the airflow better.
13:35And that's how the Weber Kettle Grill was born,
13:38changing backyard barbecues forever.
13:41Have you ever used a public bathroom in the summer in your shorts and sandals and got splashed?
13:47It happens to the best of us, so no worries.
13:50If only there was some solution to this problem.
13:53Perhaps a urinal with a small hole so no liquid goes where it shouldn't.
13:58Looks pretty yucky and painful to me.
14:01An assistant professor at the University of Waterloo,
14:04Zhao Penn and his colleagues came up with a way better solution for this sensitive issue.
14:10Their designs were inspired by physics and dogs.
14:14When a stream of liquid moves on a solid surface at a shallow angle,
14:18the splash is reduced, and the smaller the angle, the fewer splashes you'll see.
14:23You can even minimize them to a zero.
14:25And when dogs do their business, they lift their hind legs and do it on the vertical surface of a
14:31tree or a wall.
14:32I don't know if they actually care about it, but this does reduce the splash.
14:37Good job, Pluto.
14:38Talking about that, here's a fun challenge for your next family gathering.
14:42Ask everyone to fold a piece of paper in half, then in half again,
14:46and keep going for a total of seven folds.
14:49Spoiler alert, they probably won't succeed.
14:51That's because each fold makes the paper thicker and thicker.
14:56In fact, if you had a huge sheet of paper and folded it in half 50 times,
15:01it would end up being about 62 million miles thick,
15:04which is about two-thirds of the way from Earth to the Sun.
15:08So, yeah, it's impossible.
15:10The current record is held by a high school student named Brittany Gallivan,
15:14who managed to fold a single piece of paper in half 12 times,
15:18and it was a tissue paper.
15:20The USB symbol, looking like a trident,
15:23has always sparked multiple speculations about its origin.
15:28One popular idea is that it represents Neptune's trident
15:31and symbolizes power and adaptability.
15:33But there's also a little bit less exciting theory.
15:37A man who claimed to have designed the symbol in the 1980s
15:41stated that it was supposed to represent connectivity.
15:43The large circle symbolizes a computer,
15:46while the attached shapes, the circle, the triangle, and square,
15:50stand for different outputs.
15:52Look closely at a tram's overhead lines,
15:55and you'll see that its contact wires zigzag back and forth
15:59instead of going in a straight line.
16:01That's because all trams have pantographs attached to their roofs.
16:05The upper part of the pantograph is gradually worn down by the overhead wire
16:10and eventually needs to be replaced.
16:13To wear it down evenly,
16:14the wire is not installed strictly along the tram's path,
16:18but in zigzag patterns.
16:20As the tram moves,
16:22the pantograph slides along the wire,
16:24and it wears down evenly.
16:27Those cone-shaped water cooler cups?
16:30Their shape is intentionally designed to prevent users from setting the cups down.
16:35This allows employees to minimize the risk of spilling water on their desks
16:39around various electronic devices.
16:41Plus, less material is used to produce cone-shaped cups,
16:44which makes the process less wasteful and more cost-effective.
16:49It also kind of supports sustainability
16:51by encouraging people to drink their water quickly
16:53and dispose of their cups immediately after.
16:56You're probably wearing a YKK product right now.
16:59I mean, go check the zipper on your jeans.
17:01Yep, that's it.
17:03YKK stands for Yoshida Kogyo Kabushiki Kaisha,
17:07a Japanese company that makes roughly half of all the zippers in the world,
17:12producing over 7 billion zippers each year.
17:16Originally called hookless fasteners,
17:18they became known as zippers
17:19after a pair of rubber boots that could be fastened with a single zip
17:23became popular in 1923.
17:26The name stuck because of the high-pitched zip sound they make when used.
17:31Despite a popular myth,
17:33household batteries don't actually contain liquid,
17:35and if you accidentally cut them open,
17:37no toxic liquid will spill.
17:39Most of them are dry cell batteries,
17:41which are made of electrochemical cells.
17:43Those convert chemical energy into electrical energy.
17:47Larger batteries often house numerous small cells within them, too.
17:52Even Tesla vehicle batteries consist of multiple small cells.
17:56When combined, they easily provide the necessary voltage.
18:00Did you know that nail polish used to be a status symbol?
18:04In ancient Egypt,
18:05queens like Nefertiti and Cleopatra were famous for their red nails,
18:09while lower-ranking citizens were only allowed to wear pale shades.
18:15You'll probably agree that there's no better snack than a pack of chips.
18:19Some are flat, others have ridges.
18:22Is it just aesthetics?
18:24Not really.
18:25The main purpose of those lines on some kinds of chips
18:28is to help with the distribution of spices and seasonings.
18:31In other words,
18:32all those substances that make your chips taste like cheese
18:34are mostly stored inside the lines.
18:37Plus, the lines make chips crunchier.
18:41This item here was also popular in ancient Egypt.
18:44What looks like a weird bench
18:46was actually a weird type of pillow.
18:49Back then,
18:50headrests were made from materials like wood,
18:53ceramic, and stone.
18:55Unlike our comfy pillows today,
18:56those ancient ones were used to protect people's hairstyles.
19:00That way, their hairdos stayed neat,
19:02even though they had a very uncomfortable night.
19:05If you've left a pot on the stove and your food burned,
19:09once again, take ketchup.
19:11Its acids will ease all the scrubbing and help you with grease.
19:15Just leave it over the night
19:17and you'll be able to wash the pot more easily.
19:21Or, keep those small packages of ketchup
19:23we all end up having from fast food orders in the freezer.
19:26The ketchup won't be as hard as an ice cube as it freezes,
19:30so it will be good for soothing insect bites or similar things.
19:35For eight centuries,
19:37forks were considered cursed and nearly forbidden in the West.
19:40The first models were used by the elite in the Middle East and the Byzantine Empire,
19:44and they made their way to the West in 1004,
19:48thanks to a noblewoman named Maria Aguirre-Palina.
19:51People were pretty shocked by it, to say the least.
19:54So, when she passed away just two years later,
19:57everyone blamed the fork,
19:58thinking it was some kind of divine punishment.
20:01By the way, its name comes from the Latin word forca,
20:05which means pitchfork.
20:07Next on our list is Nike's iconic moonshoe,
20:10but I'm talking about the unique pattern of its sole.
20:13Back in the 1970s,
20:15Nike co-founder Bill Bowerman was making waffles for breakfast with his wife
20:20when he had a sudden idea
20:22to pour a plastic material called polyurethane into the waffle iron.
20:27The machine was ruined, of course,
20:29but I guess it was worth it
20:30since that's how the first Nike waffle trainer was born.
20:33I mean, its sole.
20:35That clear fluid in gel pens is called the ink follower or stopper fluid.
20:40The gel in such pens contains pigment particles dissolved in a polymer solution.
20:45The main task of the stopper fluid is to be a barrier
20:48to prevent the gel from evaporating or leaking out.
20:51Without this transparent fluid,
20:53your gel pen wouldn't function.
20:56The fluid always stays in one position
20:58and doesn't get dissolved with the gel.
21:00Neither does it move backwards or flow out of the pen.
21:04Let's move on to another favorite snack.
21:07Popcorn.
21:07These days, cinema and popcorn go hand in hand,
21:11but it wasn't always this way.
21:12In the 1920s and 1930s,
21:15movie theater owners were hesitant to allow snacks in their theaters.
21:19They were worried about the mess
21:20and the crunching noises interfering with movies.
21:23Plus, popcorn used to cost only 5 to 10 cents,
21:26so they didn't see any financial benefit.
21:29But savvy street vendors saw a big chance.
21:32So, they got their own popcorn machines
21:35and started selling them outside theaters.
21:37That's why popcorn probably became the original clandestine movie snack.
21:41And theater staff would even have to check
21:43if people were hiding bags of it in their coats.
21:48Have you ever helped your friends move into a new apartment in a building without an elevator?
21:53Then you're gonna love this one.
21:55Houses in Amsterdam have hooks on top.
21:58This is a medieval invention for pulling stuff up the houses.
22:02The simple tech consisting of a wheel and a rope still functions now, centuries later.
22:06Why not just use the stairs?
22:09Well, if you get inside one of those narrow Amsterdam buildings,
22:13you'll see there's hardly enough room to comfortably ascend,
22:16and you can forget about even trying to pull a table on top.
22:20Back in the medieval ages, pretty much like now,
22:24only rich people could afford housing around the canals in the best parts of the city.
22:28Those people were mostly traders, and used the canals for their business.
22:33They stored goods in the same houses they lived in.
22:36And with regular floods, they had to find a way to keep the goods dry.
22:41And that's why they needed to invent something to lift furniture,
22:45goods, boxes, instruments, and food on the upper floors,
22:49and pull it in through fully open, wide windows.
22:53The lifting tech is one of the reasons the houses in Amsterdam are leaning forward.
22:58This position helped keep both the lifted stuff and the walls and windows safe during transportation.
23:05They didn't have to touch each other.
23:07The gables also assisted in the process,
23:10and had to be made firm to withstand all the heavy weight.
23:13And in case you're wondering what gables are,
23:17they're sections of wall between the edges of a dual-pitched roof,
23:20typical for Amsterdam.
23:22Sticking with old-school fun, it's time to talk about carts.
23:26So, have you ever wondered how many times you need to riffle a deck to shuffle it completely?
23:32The answer is seven times, according to math.
23:35Even cooler, if you shuffle a deck right,
23:37you're probably creating a unique order that's never existed before and never will again.
23:43And if you have a deck at hand, check out the four kings.
23:47You'll notice that the king of hearts is the only one without a mustache.
23:51He's not special or anything.
23:53I mean, he also used to have a mustache, but it was lost in the reproduction of the original design.
23:58Your home has more regular things that can do magic tricks.
24:02Like, if you have a house or a big terrace and want to make a nice flower wall,
24:07try old mattress springs.
24:09Just hang them on the wall and let your imagination run wild with flowers.
24:15An old flower sifter can still come in handy, for example, as a planter.
24:20Even if you don't have one, you might find it at a garage sale or a thrift store.
24:26Wallpaper is making its big comeback when it comes to home design.
24:30Maybe you can try something different and use some old books with torn pages.
24:53Solitaire was probably everyone's go-to game to pass the time back in the 1990s,
24:59but its original purpose was far from it.
25:01When developers created this game, their idea was to teach people how to use a computer
25:07without them even realizing it.
25:09For example, dragging and dropping cards into one place
25:12helped people learn how to move files into folders.
25:16The same goes for Minesweeper,
25:18which was designed to help people get used to using a mouse and clicking.
25:23Cleaning blinds can be frustrating,
25:26but the next time you do it, try doing it with a sock over your hand.
25:30Hands are kind of perfectly shaped for getting all those nooks and crannies on the blinds,
25:36and the sock will do the rest.
25:39Here's something you wouldn't expect.
25:42Ice cubes can help you remove gum from carpet, clothing, and hair.
25:47Just put your clothes in the sink and add ice cubes.
25:50Leave it like that for a while.
25:52Ice will freeze the gum, so you can chip it away more easily.
25:56If the gum got stuck on the carpet,
25:59leave ice cubes right in the critical spot and remove the gum with a butter knife.
26:04It's a little bit harder to remove it from hair though, but still possible.
26:09Just wrap the ice and parts of your hair with the gum in a washcloth
26:13until the gum gets frozen.
26:15When you get there, you should be able to break apart the gum
26:19and free your hair using your fingers.
26:22Or, next time you have to deal with a splinter,
26:25just take one ice cube to numb that area before you even start doing anything.
26:31You might have noticed that movie theater seats are almost always red.
26:35This choice isn't random.
26:37It has strategic importance, which is rooted in visual science.
26:41The thing is, red light has a longer wavelength.
26:44It means that it's the first color to disappear in low light.
26:47It allows the audience to concentrate better on the screen once the movie begins.
26:51Such a design choice enhances the viewing experience by minimizing distractions.
26:57Speed bumps are crucial for pedestrian safety.
27:00But at the same time, they can seriously increase car emissions
27:04due to the non-stop acceleration and deceleration they cause.
27:09To address this issue, some cities like London are testing fake speed bumps.
27:14Those are optical illusions painted on the road.
27:17They look raised from a driver's perspective, but in reality, they're flat.
27:22Authorities hope that this approach will slow down drivers
27:25without having a negative impact on the environment.
27:30Soda bottles are always filled in such a way
27:32that there's some space between the liquid and the cap.
27:35That's because soda contains carbon dioxide.
27:38It's a gas that can expand once the bottle's heated.
27:41If there's no gap in the bottle,
27:43it can break because of the pressure building inside.
27:46Also, when you open your drink,
27:48the gases go out in the form of bubbles,
27:50making the drink overflow.
27:52The gap helps with this problem too.
27:55If you're more into Angry Birds, Candy Crush,
27:58and other mobile games, that's totally normal.
28:00After all, more people have access to cell phones
28:03than to toilets these days.
28:04But not many of us stop to think about how disgusting our phones can be.
28:09The natural bacteria from our skin and the oils from our hands
28:12get transferred to our phones with every touch, swipe, and tap.
28:16This makes phones about 10 times dirtier than toilet seats.
28:21Yikes!
