00:00Have you ever wondered what these extra holes at the top of your running shoes are for?
00:04They're designed so that you can tie the shoes in multiple different ways.
00:08That's useful when you want to compensate for things such as a bad stride or even a damaged toe.
00:15Plus you can change the look of your shoes the way you prefer.
00:21Many people use a dust jacket of their book as a bookmarker. No problem with that.
00:26It will save your book from bent page corners, but the primary purpose of a dust cover is to keep
00:32the book safe from distortions.
00:34For instance, if you spill juice or drop some of the food on your book while reading it.
00:40The Tic Tac dispenser has this little groove on its top, so you can dispense only one Tic Tac at
00:46a time.
00:47Even though, let's be honest here, nobody does that.
00:50Most of us just spill a whole bunch at once and then we wiggle all those extra Tic Tacs back
00:55in.
00:57Those rubber bumps you see between the tire treads are there for your safety.
01:01The raised edges tell you what the minimum height of your tread is.
01:05If the bump and the edges are even, it's time for you to visit the tire shop as soon as
01:10possible.
01:11But if the bumps are well beneath the level of the edges, you're good to go.
01:17What about that black grating on the microwave window?
01:20It's something called a Faraday shield.
01:23And it's there to prevent microwaves from getting away and turning the entire room into a Faraday cage.
01:29If the microwaves escape, your meal won't cook properly either.
01:33So yep, the cage is not there to make it difficult for you to see your meal while it's cooking.
01:37It's keeping the electromagnetic energy inside.
01:43How about a wrench compatible screwdriver?
01:45Cover your screwdriver with the end of your wrench and you can increase its torque.
01:49That's why the head of your screwdriver is designed the way it is.
01:53When you have odd angles, you can use this strategy.
01:58You've probably heard those myths, the blue side of the eraser can erase the pen.
02:03False.
02:04Its purpose is to erase a pencil.
02:06But in case you're writing something on heavier paper.
02:09The blue side can remove smudges you see after using the pink eraser too.
02:15Have you ever wondered why oranges in supermarkets mostly come in the red mesh bag?
02:21It's a trick to make this food look more orange and encourage you to make a purchase.
02:25An extra tip, don't throw away the mesh bag.
02:28Tie it up so you can have a small pot scrubber to clean your sink, kitchen, appliances and dishes.
02:37You can see golf balls don't have a perfectly round shape.
02:40Their surface is covered with many little dimples, something golf balls didn't always have.
02:45At one point, experienced golfers started noticing how through time, older balls with imperfections, such as nicks and bumps, could
02:54travel further.
02:56Such things create turbulence in the air around the golf ball, which eventually reduces drag.
03:02So, manufacturers started producing balls with dimples so they could go farther and faster.
03:10You might have noticed that sometimes there are ridges in toothpick tops.
03:13It's more hygienic because when you break that off, you can prop the toothpick up on it and it won't
03:19touch anything.
03:22Another safety feature you'll find, this time in your car, is a tab on your rearview mirror.
03:28With it, you can change the position of the mirror so you don't get blinded if there's a car behind
03:33you with its high beams on.
03:35So, this little tab helps you control the glare of lights coming from behind.
03:40This feature showed up in the 1930s, but in the early 1970s, it became a part of standard equipment in
03:46most trucks and cars.
03:49Do you see that tiny hole on your iPhone right next to the rear-facing camera?
03:54It's a microphone, and it's there so your phone can record sound as you turn your camera around.
04:02Some cables have a thick cylinder towards the end of the cord.
04:06It's called a ferrite core, or a choke.
04:09It's a magnetic iron oxide that stops high-frequency electromagnetic interference.
04:14For example, you know that annoying static noise you get if you bring your phone too close to a speaker?
04:21This interrupts your call, which is why cable cords with big cylinders are pretty useful, because they prevent these things.
04:29Do you know why nearly all luggage bags and backpacks have two zippers?
04:33It's way more convenient and easier to open in that way.
04:37But not just that.
04:38You can also lock these two zippers together to keep the stuff inside your bags safer.
04:45You know how toilets at public spots like malls have those big gaps at the bottom?
04:50It's primarily for better circulation of air.
04:53This type of door also makes it easier to clean the toilet or check if it's occupied if you're standing
04:59in line.
05:00Other than that, if you get stuck there and the lock gets broken, you still have a way to escape.
05:06You can just crawl out.
05:10Ever notice those plastic end caps on utility knives?
05:13And they also have scales on them, which indicates you may use them multiple times, but with sharp edges.
05:21You can separate the blades through these plastic end caps.
05:24Then, you can move the slider and bring the sharp blade to the front.
05:29If you've ever taken a moment to examine a regular grocery cart, especially their fold-out section, you probably noticed
05:36those metal loops jutting out.
05:38They're designed to protect the items you carry in your cart.
05:42You can use them to hang bags with soft items.
05:46You don't want to accidentally squish with heavier products, like bread, or easily breakable things, like eggs.
05:54Many coffee mugs come with curved notches on their bottom.
05:58When you're washing your mugs, put them against the rack at an angle in your dishwasher.
06:02This way, the water won't pool in there, so your favorite cup will be completely dry by the time you
06:07take it out of the dishwasher.
06:10If you're a McFlurry fan, you've probably noticed there's a square hole in the handle of the spoon.
06:16It's there so you can attach it to the special machine that mixes the ice cream and your favorite toppings
06:21together.
06:23The machine has a bar that slips into this square-shaped spoon and then thoroughly stirs it.
06:28And you get the spoon so they can minimize the mess during the process.
06:33Quite neat, wouldn't you say?
06:36A regular milk jug has a dent on one side.
06:40Some might see it as a random design decision, but a dent has several purposes.
06:45One of them is to get bigger if there's a gas build-up.
06:49This happens when your milk is spoiled.
06:51So you don't even have to try to check this out.
06:54Also, the dent is there so the jug doesn't burst if you accidentally drop it.
06:59The dent allows the expansion space that deals with the sudden pressure that happens when you drop the jug.
07:07Dental floss.
07:07Sure, it's important for your dental health, and it's easy to assume what you do with it.
07:12But dental floss is great in the kitchen as well, because it's a very precise cake slicer.
07:18Way better than a regular knife.
07:23Most kitchen shears have a serrated opening right there at the center where the blades and handles meet.
07:29It's something you can use to trim difficult herbs such as rosemary, thyme, or chives.
07:35Because of this opening, you don't need to pick the leaves off by hand, but de-stem them in one
07:40motion.
07:42The majority of gelatin containers or single-serving yogurts come with a tinfoil lid.
07:48And in most cases, you can use this covering as a disposable spoon.
07:52Just peel away the covering, and after a couple of simple folds, you'll have a perfect little spoon for your
07:58midday snack.
08:01There are almost 200 countries in the world, and each has a bunch of laws that citizens should follow.
08:08Some of them might be pretty strange sometimes.
08:11For example, in some places in Greece, it's prohibited to wear heels.
08:19Meanwhile, in Samoa, it's illegal to forget your wife's birthday.
08:25But what if I told you there's a place on Earth with absolutely no laws, and it's not a country,
08:31but an entire continent?
08:33Welcome to Antarctica.
08:36At least, that's what I'll tell you if you manage to scrape together your savings and shell out at least
08:418 grand to travel to the South Pole.
08:44Technically speaking, there are no laws here.
08:47Just like I mentioned before, since it isn't a country, it can't have any laws.
08:53The situation there isn't too different from being out in international waters.
08:58If there were laws governing Antarctica, that would imply it's a sovereign territory ruled by some government or governments.
09:06Sorry to burst the bubble for all the power-hungry folks, but this continent isn't up for grabs.
09:11Seven countries, namely Great Britain, New Zealand, France, Chile, Norway, Australia, and Argentina, have territorial claims on it.
09:22And there are actually people living there right now.
09:26So, how do things get done in Antarctica?
09:30Its status is like a no-man's land, and world powers plan to keep it that way.
09:35In reality, the international scientific community governs Antarctica, since they're the ones working and operating on the continent.
09:44However, this cooperation likely wouldn't have been possible without the Antarctic Treaty of 1959, which laid the groundwork for how
09:53everything functions today.
09:56To be honest, this treaty isn't something that can pique your interest.
10:00It basically states that Antarctica should remain neutral and includes some basic information about its territorial status.
10:07That's all.
10:09There's really nothing useful for the average traveler like you and me.
10:13When in Rome, do as the Romans do, right?
10:16Before going somewhere, it's cool to know specific things about your destination.
10:21Like that in Singapore, chewing gum can get you in serious trouble.
10:25Or that in Tajikistan, grown men aren't really advised to wear shorts in public.
10:32So, imagine you found that money, bought the heaviest jacket you could find, and finally ventured into this land.
10:39What do you need to know, and what should you absolutely avoid doing there?
10:45It all starts with how you pack your bags.
10:48One big tip for anyone visiting this continent is to adhere to the don't pack a pest rule.
10:54You must follow strict procedures to avoid introducing non-native species into the environment.
11:00Most of these non-natives are plant species, around 121, including fungi.
11:05But some folks have managed to introduce 72 invertebrates, 8 mammals, and 3 bird species.
11:13There are even worms in Antarctica now.
11:16Actually, every time a new species comes to Antarctica, it has all the chances to become an invasive species in
11:23case they survive the frigid temperatures.
11:27Invasive species often flourish in new environments, because they lack natural predators.
11:33Take the brown tree snake, for example.
11:36These snakes were accidentally brought to Guam in the late 40s or early 50s.
11:41With no local predators, and plenty of birds and rodents to munch on, their numbers skyrocketed.
11:47They even caused the extinction of 9 out of 11 forest bird species on the island.
11:52It's clear that the negative reputation of invasive species is well-deserved for both animals and plants.
12:00So, to ensure the list of plants in Antarctica doesn't grow, there are strict hygiene rules in place.
12:07Everything you bring must be washed, decontaminated, and inspected daily.
12:13For example, all the Velcros you've got, they're prime hiding spots for plants.
12:18And they'll even give you a quick vacuum, just to make sure you're not sneaking in any seeds.
12:24Once you're there, be prepared for things to get a bit dirty.
12:27You can't take an actual shower in Antarctica.
12:30It doesn't matter if you're visiting for one day or 50.
12:34You just can't do it.
12:35There's no running water, so say hello to wet wipes and bid farewell to flushing toilets, too.
12:41All in all, going number two isn't the best experience.
12:45Imagine you lower your pants while bundled up in a few downed jackets and settle onto a bucket.
12:51No ceramic thrown for you here.
12:53Enjoy your potty and get throwbacks to the times when you were a toddler.
12:58Inside that bucket, there's a plastic bag tucked within another.
13:02Once the inner bag is filled with solid waste and toilet paper, you seal it up tight with a couple
13:07of cable ties.
13:08Then wrap the outer bag around it and secure it in the same way.
13:12After that, the bucket is covered with a plastic lid and shipped off to New Zealand for proper disposal.
13:19Why New Zealand? I don't know.
13:22I know you're curious since I only touched upon number two.
13:26Number one rule.
13:27Collect your waste in 20-liter barrels.
13:31Unlike your more serious discharge, this barrel won't be shipped to New Zealand, as it can be treated right there
13:37at the base.
13:38Once you're done, make sure to wash your hands.
13:41Ha, gotcha.
13:42You can't do that, you princess.
13:44Just hit the hand sanitizer to clean your hands.
13:48Now, if you want a drink, please do not eat the snow.
13:52First off, it's very much protected there.
13:56Second, it will only make your thirst situation worse.
13:59Rumor has it, if you eat snow to quench your thirst, you can get dehydrated.
14:03But it's more of a myth.
14:05But the risk of hypothermia is very real.
14:08So if you want to have a cup of tea and you need some water, you'll have to boil some
14:11ice.
14:13Don't worry, it's not expired just because it's millions of years old.
14:17The boiling will do the trick.
14:19By the way, nothing goes bad there, so you don't even need a fridge to keep food fresh.
14:24The researchers living there store their food outside because in their camps, there are no bugs.
14:31Speaking of Antarctic wildlife, it might be tough for you as a tourist to spot any creatures in the wild.
14:38But even if you do, please resist the urge to feed them.
14:42It's a big no-no to feed, touch, or handle birds or seals.
14:46And don't approach or photograph them in a way that disrupts their behavior.
14:50Plus, their stomachs might not appreciate what you have to offer.
14:56Another thing you have to be super cautious about is like it.
14:59When people picture Antarctica, they usually envision endless snow with an occasional peak of black rock underneath.
15:07But believe it or not, plants do grow there.
15:11Various types of grass, moss, and lichen.
15:15Since these plants take a long time to grow, especially with six months of total darkness and temperatures that can
15:23plunge negative 4 degrees Fahrenheit, even in summer, be mindful of where you walk.
15:29Stick to the snow.
15:30And don't step on the lichen, as it's vital to Antarctica's ecosystem.
15:36Also, don't leave things on the ground.
15:39There's a rule against this to prevent disturbing local biodiversity.
15:44Snow is just as protected as lichen.
15:47You can't pick it up or make snow angels.
15:50So basically, you've got to preserve this precious white stuff.
15:53And no throwing snowballs either.
15:57There's a tiny loophole in the law, though.
15:59There are specific small areas where you're allowed to hang out.
16:03You can break the rules if there are no penguin colonies within 12 miles.
16:08At a place called Portal Point.
16:11Technically, when you're there, you're in the UK.
16:14Portal Point is a narrow spot in the northeast part of Recluse Peninsula, on the west coast of Gramland.
16:22When it comes to the delicate balance of Antarctica, leave stones alone, too.
16:27Remember the butterfly effect?
16:29Even a small action can set off a chain reaction.
16:32Everyone loves a souvenir, but if everyone takes a rock, there will be none left.
16:37So, just a heads up.
16:39Taking anything, rocks, feathers, bones, or even soil, is a big no-no.
16:45And if you spot something human-made, hands off.
16:48It could be scientific gear.
16:51If you find something cool like a fossil, just take a pic and make a note of where you found
16:55it.
16:57Scientists will appreciate it way more than you will.
17:00Plus, you'll get an awesome shot.
17:02It's a win-win.
17:05Here's how you can protect your bank card from potential fraudsters.
17:09Use a marker and cover the last four digits.
17:11You can also use a sticker that's easy to remove and place it over the security code.
17:17Have you had a houseguest that didn't use a coaster?
17:19Get a hairdryer and hold it a couple of inches away from the stain.
17:23Blow it on medium heat for a couple of minutes to evaporate the watermark.
17:27If a faded ring remains, mix equal amounts of vinegar and olive oil in a bowl.
17:32Wipe it onto the marked area and rub it in until the stain disappears.
17:35Then wipe it off.
17:36Don't waste time scrubbing the burnt stains off the bottom of a pan.
17:40Instead, fill it with water and add three tablespoons of salt.
17:44Let it sit overnight as the salt dissolves the burnt marks.
17:48And in the morning, pour the water out of the pan.
17:50This way, it will be much easier to scrub all that grease off.
17:54Picture this.
17:55You're on vacation and your shirt has become all crinkled inside the luggage.
17:59You need it tonight, but the hotel doesn't have an iron.
18:02Don't panic.
18:03Hang the shirt up in the bathroom.
18:05And while you relax in a hot shower, the heat and moisture will unwrinkle your shirt.
18:09It won't be perfect, but it will get much better without any effort.
18:13The football is on.
18:14And it turns out you've run out of standard batteries.
18:17You can use a smaller battery instead that easily fits inside.
18:21Now take some aluminum foil and crunch it up.
18:24Fit it into the gap on the negative or flat end of the battery.
18:28All done.
18:28You can turn on the TV now.
18:31Once your flip-flops crack and the plug easily slips out of the hole,
18:34it's normally a sign that you need a new pair.
18:37But there's a way to extend their mileage.
18:39Push the plug back through the hole.
18:41Then take a bread clip and attach it to the end.
18:44The clip will provide enough support for the plug to remain in place.
18:48You've received a package and the receipt is taped on.
18:51You've managed to detach it from the box.
18:53But how to separate the tape without ripping the paper?
18:57Hold both ends of the tape apart.
18:58And by pulling it slowly, the tape stretches and separates itself from the paper without tearing it apart.
19:06Ziploc bags are perfect to keep things dry.
19:09But it would be great if they were larger.
19:11Take two and turn one of them inside out.
19:14They can now connect and work as one large bag.
19:17Big enough to protect a keyboard.
19:19There's no need to carry your keys in your hand when you go for a jog.
19:23Instead, put them inside your pocket.
19:25Take a rubber band, then tie it around the pocket from the inside.
19:29This stops the keys from falling out.
19:32You've broken your key in the door.
19:34It's stuck.
19:35Great.
19:36Arranging for a locksmith could cost up to $100.
19:39But for a cheaper and quicker option, try using a hot glue stick.
19:43Heat the end with a lighter.
19:44And once it's warm enough to melt, push the glue into the keyhole.
19:48The melted glue will enter the available space covering part of the key.
19:52Once it cools, it compresses and gains a strong hold of the key's end.
19:57Now, just pull it out.
20:00If you need to siphon liquid through a hose and want to avoid using your mouth,
20:04put one end in the liquid and hold the other upwards with your thumb closing the top.
20:09Now shake up and down.
20:10This jiggle motion pushes liquid upwards a little each time.
20:14And once it reaches the top, lower the exit point and let gravity do the rest.
20:19You've left your keys locked inside the car.
20:22It's an older model with a roll-down window.
20:24You could get the coat hanger and begin the long process of finding the lock.
20:28Or use duct tape.
20:30Make about 20 2-foot-long strands.
20:32Stick them onto the window, allowing enough room for the tape to grab onto at the bottom.
20:37Then with a friend, take the ends of the tape, holding them together, and pull downwards.
20:42The force will allow the window to lower enough that you can unlock the door.
20:47While drilling long screws into hardwood, your old drill might not have enough power,
20:51leaving them only halfway in.
20:54Before the drill gives up, get a block of wax and scrape the edges of the screws with it.
20:58The wax works like a lubricant, melting as it gets warm, and providing easy entry for the screw.
21:05You're out camping, but you didn't bring anything to light the barbecue.
21:08Take a small plastic bag that won't leak, fill it up with water, and close it tight, making a round
21:14bubble.
21:15Hold it over where you want to catch the light from the sun.
21:18The bag of water will work like a magnifying glass, starting up the barbecue, just as long as it's a
21:24sunny day.
21:25Missing a corkscrew or a cork breaking halfway?
21:28By using a stove lighter, heat the top of the bottle.
21:31The heat slightly expands the glass, and this forces the cork out the top.
21:36You've superglued your fingers again.
21:38Take some salt and pour it on top of your stuck fingers.
21:41Put your fingers into the water and slowly rub.
21:44The mixture will dissolve the glue and release you in no time.
21:48While hanging up a painting, it can be impossible to find that stubborn nail.
21:52Place a fork upside down and insert it so the nail is in between the middle fork teeth.
21:57The fork has provided a long arm that's separated from the wall, making it easier to slip the string of
22:04the painting over the nail.
22:05Once it's perfectly balanced, simply remove the fork.
22:11You need to put a cake into a container, but taking it out again later by lifting it up from
22:16the inside might ruin the cake.
22:18Put the lid upside down and place the cake on the lid.
22:21The base of the container is now the lid, making it much easier to access, slice by slice.
22:28Pour out water more efficiently from large jugs and bottles by swirling.
22:33This will make the liquid inside spin, creating a vortex.
22:36The vortex allows for the air to flow back into the bottle as the water pours out, much faster than
22:43the glugging alternative.
22:45There's an easier and less messy way to remove eggshells from a boiled egg.
22:50Once fully boiled, crack the shell on both ends by tapping them.
22:54On one end, pinch off the shell.
22:56Use the opened end to blow with your mouth.
22:58The force of air will push the flesh and expand the eggshell, forcing out the egg, undamaged.
23:06When the hinges of your laptop break, repairing them can cost up to $300.
23:11A far cheaper fix is to buy a picture frame and tape it to the back of the screen.
23:17You've dropped a small piece of jewelry on the floor.
23:19Seemingly impossible to find.
23:22Take a stocking and place it over the end of the vacuum hose.
23:25Give the area a good vacuum and check the end periodically.
23:28You will eventually find it sitting at the end.
23:31You've drilled a hole in the wall, but the drill hole is now too wide.
23:36Remove the screw and find an object that is slightly shorter and thinner.
23:40Pieces of plastic, small wires, paper clips, or even toothpicks are perfect.
23:44Place whichever item you find inside the hole.
23:47It's filled the gap enough so the screw will now re-enter securely.
23:51Taking the trash out can put you in a gross scenario of getting bin juice on you.
23:56A great way to avoid this is by placing old papers at the bottom of the bag.
24:00Now, not only does it absorb all the liquids from the food and other sources, but also helps prevent bad
24:06smells from forming within a bin.
24:09Nobody likes mosquitoes, and pesticides are pricey.
24:12A cheap alternative is to take a plastic bottle and cut the top part off from the bottom of the
24:18funnel.
24:18After removing it, turn it upside down and put it inside the bottle.
24:22Mix two cups of warm water with two tablespoons of sugar.
24:26The mosquitoes will be attracted to the formula inside and become trapped.
24:31Now just sit back and relax without getting bitten.
24:36Pockets are usually on the left side of shirts because most people are right-handed.
24:40Is this a myth or a fact?
24:43This is actually true.
24:45Many products favor the righties.
24:47Left-handed people will relate to this on so many levels.
24:50Let's say public transport.
24:52Have you ever noticed that the scanner at stations is typically on the right side?
24:57Household equipment and devices are one more example.
25:00Scissors, tweezers, bottle openers, and many other kitchen and household appliances are designed with right-handed people in mind.
25:08The same goes for shirt pockets.
25:11While some people use both hands equally and others change their hand preference between tasks, overall, most people are right
25:17-handed.
25:18A study has revealed that 75% to 90% of the world's population are right-handed and 10%
25:25are left-handed.
25:26This means it's more convenient for most people to have pockets on the left side than on the right side
25:31of their garments.
25:33Try it out for yourself.
25:34Your elbow kind of folds when you try to reach into the pocket on the right side.
25:39Whereas on the left side, your elbow makes an arc shape, which makes it easier to put things inside the
25:44pocket and take them out.
25:47Eating more protein leads to having bigger muscles.
25:49What do you think about this, bodybuilders?
25:52Myth or fact?
25:54This is a myth.
25:56It's true that eating protein is essential for building bigger muscles.
25:59I mean, proteins are building blocks of your body.
26:02And yet, eating more than you need is unnecessary.
26:07Everyone should drink 8 glasses of water a day.
26:09Do you think this is a myth or a fact?
26:13This is a myth.
26:14So don't blame yourself for drinking less water than recommended.
26:178 glasses are not a magic number.
26:20Hydration needs differ from one person to another.
26:23How much water you should drink every day depends on your activity and exercise level.
26:28The temperature of the place where you live affects this number too.
26:31If you live in a hot area, you sweat more and need to drink more water.
26:35Soup, coffee, tea, fruits, and other things you eat daily also contain water.
26:43Carrots are high in sugar, so you should avoid eating them.
26:46If this is true, we should warn bunnies.
26:48Any guesses, fact, or myth?
26:51It's a myth.
26:53Carrots are about 85% water.
26:55One pound of cooked carrots only contains 3 teaspoons of sugar.
26:59Compared to the amount of sugar in desserts, this is nothing.
27:02Plus, carrots are high in phytochemicals, and eating them can help lower blood sugar.
27:09Medieval people believed in flat earth.
27:12Is this a myth or a fact?
27:14Obviously, flat earth is a myth.
27:17But so is the history built around this myth.
27:19You can't say that at those times.
27:22The whole world was skeptical about earth's spherical shape.
27:25Even everyday visible things proved that.
27:27For example, medieval people could see that the twilight glow during sunrise and sunset formed an arc over the horizon.
27:36Vikings wore horned helmets.
27:39Is this a myth or fact?
27:41The well-known image of a Viking warrior is almost always completed with a horned helmet.
27:47But in reality, there are no horns.
27:50There's no evidence that Viking helmets were horned.
27:54Detox juices cleanse your body.
27:56Is this a fact?
27:57Or myth?
27:59It's a myth.
28:01Detoxification doesn't work that way.
28:03Your internal organs are responsible for the process of cleansing the spleen, liver, kidneys, especially the liver.
28:10Your body is always in a natural state of cleansing itself.
28:14A person doesn't need to drink juices for detoxification.
28:19Nuts are junk food.
28:20Any thoughts?
28:21Myth or fact?
28:24You're right.
28:25This is a myth.
28:27Nuts are full of healthy fats.
28:29They're good for your heart and other organs.
28:32The average American throws away about 82 pounds of textile waste per year.
28:38Is this a fact or myth?
28:41Fact!
28:42Imagine all that waste.
28:44When someone throws their clothes away, they don't disappear into thin air.
28:48These items most likely reach landfills as their final destination.
28:52Donating clothes and selling them in second-hand stores are a much better option.
28:57Now, you've probably heard about life-saving laundry tricks that are said to make your clothes super clean and as
29:04good as they were on day one.
29:06What if those laundry tips are actually myths?
29:09I got three of them lined up for you.
29:12Shirts should be buttoned when you put them in the laundry.
29:14Is it true or not?
29:17You want to rid your clothes of germs.
29:17This is a myth.
29:18You'd better keep zippers closed to keep their teeth from catching the fabric of other clothes.
29:23But fastening the buttons of a shirt can expand the button net and the buttonhole.
29:27In the long term, buttons will start slipping out of place.
29:32Washing clothes in hot water is the most effective way to clean them.
29:36Is this a myth or a fact?
29:38That's another laundry myth.
29:40You want to rid your clothes of germs.
29:43Yet, hot water alone won't be enough for this.
29:46Nowadays, many detergents can clean clothes in cold or warm water.
29:51You should remove stains from the face of the fabric.
29:54Is it true?
29:56Most people apply water and soap to the stain, starting from the front side of the fabric.
30:01But that's not the best option.
30:03A much better way is to start from the back.
30:05The stain can go deeper if you treat it from the front.
30:08Try to make the stain move up to the surface, rather than push it inside.
30:14Listening to music is an effective tool for learning languages.
30:18Is it a myth or fact?
30:20It's a fact.
30:22Scientists say listening to a song and humming along can help you learn a language.
30:27Most people struggle to learn grammar.
30:29Yet, in our daily lives, we don't always follow grammar rules.
30:32Songs can help you pick up informal expressions.
30:37Scientists have also concluded that music can help you remember new words and add them to your vocabulary.
30:43Let me give you an example.
30:44It's from your first year at school.
30:47Yep, the alphabet song.
30:49Are you a morning person or a night owl?
30:52Either way, you might want to know these facts and myths about sleep.
30:57The longest someone went without sleep was 11 days.
31:01Do you think this is possible?
31:03Or is it an urban legend?
31:05This is a fact.
31:07Randy Gardner set the record for the longest amount of time a person went without sleep.
31:12It was an experiment carried out by Stanford sleep researcher Dr. William C. Demond.
31:17The doctor recorded and monitored Randy Gardner's sleep activity.
31:21Gardner managed to stay awake for 11 days and 25 minutes.
31:27Your body eventually gets used to getting less sleep.
31:30Myth or fact?
31:32It's a myth.
31:33There are many studies proving that your body and especially your brain can't get used to sleeping less.
31:39Have you noticed that after a few nights of insufficient sleep, you begin to feel groggier during the day?
31:45That's your body trying to adjust to not getting enough rest.
31:48Long-term sleep deprivation affects your daytime performance, focus, and decision-making.
31:55Many grown-ups need 5 or fewer hours of sleep.
31:59Can it be true?
32:00Well, this one's easy.
32:02It's a myth.
32:03Experts from the National Sleep Foundation recommend that the average adult sleeps 7 to 9 hours per night.
32:09Some people have a genetic mutation thanks to which they wake up refreshed after a short night's sleep.
32:15But such people are an exception.
32:18One in 4 million.
32:20The ability to fall asleep in any place and at any time means you're a good sleeper.
32:26What do you think?
32:27Myth or fact?
32:29It's a myth.
32:30A good sleeper gets a proper amount of sleep and has a regular sleep schedule.
32:35Cats spend two-thirds of their life asleep.
32:38Do you believe that?
32:40This will probably come as no surprise.
32:43It's a fact.
32:44How many of the facts and myths did you guess correctly?
32:49If you ever find yourself stuck in the trunk of your car, stay calm.
32:53All cars are supposed to be equipped with an emergency latch to help open the trunk from the inside in
32:59the unlikely case it happens.
33:01These latches are so well thought out that they can be opened by people of all ages.
33:06More so, handles are designed to glow in the dark, too.
33:09You can even pull them with a mouth if there's not enough wiggle room to use your hands.
33:14Never mind how you ended up in the trunk in the first place.
33:17Moving on.
33:18If you're ever working with needle and thread, remember you don't need to stick the needle directly into the spool.
33:25You may end up losing the needle altogether.
33:27Not to mention you can easily hurt your fingers.
33:30A lot of modern sewing kits these days come with a designated place for safeguarding the needles.
33:36It's located at the bottom part of the thread spool.
33:39You'll just need to pull it out.
33:40It's even made to hold multiple sewing needles at a time.
33:45Disposable ballpoint pens come with a little secret of their own.
33:49Did you ever notice that in some of them, there's a small hole in the plastic part?
33:53It's actually a rudimentary ventilation system.
33:57It's supposed to let the ink easily make it to the tip of the pen.
34:01Okay, I know it's in the name, but you really don't need to shake the seasoning shaker to get any
34:06product out.
34:07Don't believe me?
34:08Hey, you're not the only one.
34:10Go grab your favorite seasoning bottle out of your pantry.
34:13If it has one of those removable plastic caps, it's perfect for the experiment.
34:19Instead of shaking the bottle, try holding it from the plastic cap while it's upside down.
34:24Now gently twist the bottle from side to side and, before you know it,
34:29you get some gorgeously flowing seasoning without having to wiggle the shaker and make a mess all over the stove.
34:36On the same note, most salt and pepper shakers should have ridges on the bottom of the glass portion.
34:42In case you get any seasoning stuck in there,
34:45place the bottom of the salt shaker against the bottom of the pepper shaker and wiggle it around,
34:50so the ridges click with each other.
34:52The seasoning should easily pour out now without you having to open the bottle.
34:57In colder weather, you often have so many clothing layers on you
35:01that you can hardly feel the purse or back straps on your shoulder anymore.
35:05Not to mention how fast they can slide off.
35:08Some jackets come with a built-in solution for that,
35:11in the form of a small tab on the shoulder with either a hook or a button.
35:16It's meant to be opened and closed comfortably,
35:18so you can keep your purse in place at any time.
35:23You're most likely using it merely to peel the skin of potatoes, carrots, or cucumbers.
35:28But you can use your vegetable peeler for chopping fine strips of onion as well.
35:33Just cut the onion into quarters vertically and then start slicing.
35:37This might also help out with those embarrassing onion tears.
35:42Most people miss this one, but should you ever have a closer look at your toothpaste tube,
35:47you will surely see some sort of coloring there, either a dot or a block.
35:52Colors can vary.
35:53They can be black, green, red, or even blue.
35:57These color spots are actually meant to help the assembly machines back at the toothpaste factory.
36:02They recognize when and where these machines need to cut the toothpaste tubes
36:06and proceed to fold them for packaging.
36:09For most types of footwear, if there's anything that seems a bit out of place,
36:13always know that it's there for a reason.
36:16Most manufacturers don't put extra items on shoes just for fun.
36:20It would definitely be a waste of time and resources.
36:23For footwear, like boots, for example, there's often a small loop at the top back of the shoe.
36:29It's there to help you when you need to put the shoe on, since you can quickly pull on it.
36:33Plus, you can also hang the shoe somewhere, most likely to dry,
36:37since most boots are meant to be worn in the colder weather.
36:41Now, I've been guilty at least once of overdressing with a bunch of layers,
36:46just so I won't need to jam everything in my check-in bag.
36:49But does it become a problem when you actually have to get seated?
36:53What do you do with your coat or your jacket?
36:55Well, have a closer look next time you board a plane on the seat in front of you.
37:00The hook that keeps the tray table upright can double as a jacket hook.
37:05As long as you don't need to have any meals while in the air, you're good to go.
37:10Now, most mascaras expire within 3 to 6 months, I'm told, depending on the manufacturer.
37:16But you can help speed up that process if you're not careful enough.
37:20Continuously pumping the mascara wand, trying to mix in the product,
37:24actually pushes more air into the tube.
37:27This can make it dry much faster, and you evidently won't get the desired results with it anymore.
37:33There's an easy way to check if your mascara is still good enough to use.
37:37If you don't hear a popping noise when you take the brush out,
37:40you may very well need to go get yourself a new mascara tube.
37:44Now, I know we're living in the era of Bluetooth-connected devices,
37:49but for better quality sound, they still recommend using headphones that connect via audio jacks.
37:56Remember seeing black ridges on those jacks?
37:58They aren't there just to make them fit when you plug them into your phone or laptop.
38:03Made out of a special insulating material,
38:06these bands are meant to guard the wires when sound is being transmitted.
38:10Based on the number of bands, you can figure out which end goes where.
38:14Some empty space under noodles in a cup doesn't mean the company producing them wants to cheat you out of
38:20a full portion.
38:21No, no.
38:22It's a manner of keeping the noodles intact during their transportation.
38:26It also helps with the circulation of hot water that is poured over the products before you can enjoy them.
38:32The V-shaped neckline was initially designed to serve a bunch of objectives.
38:37First, as a way of prolonging the life of the garment that would maintain its shape over the years.
38:42It's also there to fit your head through the shirt in case it needs some stretching.
38:47This way, it ensures a snugger grip around the neck.
38:50Lastly, it helps absorb sweat in case you're wearing the shirt while exercising.
38:55Now, it's not necessarily a custom anymore,
38:58but you may have stumbled upon a dinner jacket with an additional mysterious pocket on the right side.
39:04Turns out, this pocket was used by men to easily reach their train tickets,
39:09since most of them had to travel to work every day.
39:12It helped them keep their jacket buttoned up, but also benefited from the use of a pocket.
39:17Now, it's only added as a decoration, and it doesn't serve an actual purpose anymore.
39:22Speaking of things we don't use these days, or at least for their initial purpose,
39:28did you know Play-Doh was originally a cleaning product?
39:31In the 1920s, the market was in need of a product
39:35that could help them wipe the wallpapered areas around coal-burning furnaces.
39:39The recipe for what we now know as Play-Doh was thus invented.
39:44It was manufactured in white only,
39:46and was supposed to clean wallpaper by being rolled back and forth over the dirt.
39:51It was only later, in the 1940s, that new products for cleaning wallpaper were brought up,
39:57and Play-Doh was redirected toward another area of the market.
40:01Now, while I enjoy a nice piece of toast for breakfast,
40:05isn't it pesky to have to clean out the toaster?
40:08Well, not anymore, since I recently found out that toasters have a slide or a panel at the bottom
40:14that helps get rid of all those annoying breadcrumbs easily.
40:20Now, there used to be a time when you could only have access to video games
40:25by inserting cartridges in your console of choice.
40:28These tiny objects gave many doctors a lot of headaches.
40:32People soon started popping up in hospitals after swallowing small game cartridges,
40:38especially the younger generation.
40:40Nintendo, the company that manufactures the majority of these devices,
40:44had to come up with a creative solution to prevent these accidents.
40:48So, these days, Nintendo Switch cartridges are purposely coated with specific chemicals
40:53that can leave a really bad bitter taste in the mouth.
40:57Not that I'd, you know, recommend you ever try and taste for yourself.
41:01Hmm.
41:02So, you wake up and see that an out-of-control fire has taken over your room.
41:07At this point, the biggest danger isn't even the flames, it's the smoke.
41:11In the United States, smoke inhalation accounts for 80% of the fatalities caused by fires.
41:18That's why it's always a clever idea to have this mask close by.
41:22This is a personal escape hood, equipped with its own breathing filter,
41:26allowing people to escape intense situations like this.
41:29It only takes around 10 seconds to put this on, and it provides breathable air for 20 minutes.
41:35And those 20 minutes can make all the difference when it comes to surviving.
41:39But if your apartment is at the top of a burning building,
41:43going out the window might be your only way out.
41:46But hold on.
41:47First, you need to wear a backpack like this.
41:50This is actually a parachute safety system, known as SPARS.
41:54What it does is inflate a device with a parachute in about 15 seconds.
41:59The device, developed with advanced aerospace technology,
42:02will slow down your fall and make sure you land safely and as quickly as possible.
42:07If using a parachute feels a little too extreme to escape a fire,
42:12there is another option.
42:14The rescue-ready retrofit ladder.
42:16This device is made from lightweight, durable materials
42:19and offers a safe way out in situations like a fire on the second floor of a house, for example.
42:26The ladder can easily be installed right under windows,
42:29making it easy to use when you need it.
42:31One thing about fires is that they usually start small.
42:35So, the key is to isolate and put them out before they turn into a big problem.
42:40That's why some smart people teamed up with firefighters to create the Bridge Hill Fire Blankets.
42:46Think of it as a futuristic fabric with cutting-edge technology
42:50that can contain flames, smoke, and toxic fumes in just a few seconds.
42:56Okay, blame it on the classic movie Jaws.
42:59But let's face it, sharks have been living rent-free in our heads ever since.
43:04And while shark attacks aren't very common, they still happen.
43:08In 2023, there were over 100 reported incidents worldwide.
43:12But you don't have to live in fear, thanks to items like shark bangs.
43:17This is a wearable device that can ward off sharks, and it doesn't need batteries or charging.
43:22You just wrap it around your ankle and let its powerful magnets do the work.
43:27What happens is that when a shark gets close to someone wearing the device,
43:31it senses the strong magnetic field coming from it.
43:34Then the shark probably freaks out because the signal is way stronger than any of its normal prey.
43:40So it ends up swimming away from you, or at least, that's what we hope for.
43:46Now, sharks aren't the only danger you face in the water.
43:49All it takes is a sudden change in the tide,
43:52and you could find yourself in a situation where you need to fight to avoid drowning.
43:57But if life jackets feel bulky and uncomfortable to you,
44:00there is another option, the king gene.
44:03This is considered the smallest inflatable lifesaver in the world.
44:07It kind of looks like a high-tech bracelet.
44:09But when activated, it turns into a buoy in seconds.
44:13What's even more impressive is that you can reuse it up to 50 times,
44:17if you're that unlucky or careless.
44:19All you have to do is repack the balloon and swap out the CO2 cartridge before your next sea adventure.
44:26It also comes with a whistle, so you can get the attention of rescuers in case of an emergency.
44:32Now, this may look like a simple, ordinary credit card, but it can actually save you.
44:37Imagine you're in a car accident, and the vehicle ends up in a lake.
44:41As the car sinks, you're trapped, unable to open the window.
44:46Terrifying, right?
44:47Well, that's exactly why the OWL escape card exists.
44:51OWL stands for Open Window for Life,
44:54and just like the name suggests,
44:56it was designed to shatter your car's window in any emergency.
44:59The driver just needs to insert the card into the top or side slot of the window,
45:04with the arrow facing up.
45:06Then pull the base of the card toward them and release it.
45:10Bam!
45:10The glass shatters outward.
45:12But that's not all.
45:13It also has a built-in safety cutter to help you slice through a stuck seatbelt.
45:19You've probably heard a million times how wearing a helmet while biking can save your life.
45:24Still, a lot of people skip it, saying they don't want to carry a bulky thing around all day.
45:30Well, those days are over with the foldable helmet.
45:34Thanks to its cool, adaptable design, it goes from a spherical shape to something more flat.
45:40So, once you're done with biking, just fold it up and throw it in your backpack.
45:45It's that easy.
45:47Outdoor adventurers will love the LifeStraw Sip.
45:50This stainless steel straw promises to clean in pure water using a filter that blocks 99% of bacteria, parasites,
45:58and microplastics.
45:59In other words, this tech can definitely prevent you from having any serious health issues.
46:05Its design is super slim and lightweight.
46:08Plus, there's no need for charging or batteries.
46:10So, it's the perfect travel companion if you're planning a little getaway to the middle of nowhere.
46:17So, skiing can be pretty dangerous.
46:20But even so, millions of people are willing to take that risk every year.
46:25One of the big problems with heading out into the snow is that avalanches aren't always easy to spot.
46:31It's believed that for every four fatalities from being buried in snow, three are caused by asphyxiation.
46:38So, bringing the safe back SBX survival gear on your next trip is definitely a smart move.
46:45This is the world's first active air supply for snow burial, designed to keep avalanche victims breathing under the snow
46:52without a mouthpiece.
46:54What it does is create airflow through the snow by pushing away the CO2 that's been exhaled.
47:00This increases the survival window to over 90 minutes, which can be enough time for rescue teams to find the
47:07victim.
47:08Now, you never know when you might find yourself in a dangerous situation out of the blue.
47:14Even when you're just relaxing at home, something unexpected could happen, like a stranger breaking in.
47:20In situations like that, you probably need to stay quiet so you don't draw attention to yourself, and calling 911
47:27could be too risky.
47:29That's where safety apps like Noonlight come in.
47:33If you ever feel unsafe, just open the app and press the panic button right in the center of the
47:39screen.
47:39If everything's okay, release the button and enter your four-digit PIN.
47:44But if things take a turn and you're in real danger, release the button without entering the PIN.
47:50The app will automatically notify the police and share your exact location so they can send help.
47:57Yep, the next product on our list is a toilet seat.
48:01But it's not just any regular one.
48:04This is the first-of-its-kind smart toilet seat that can actually tell if your body's at risk.
48:11How, you ask?
48:12Well, it monitors your number one and number two with some pretty advanced sensors.
48:17Then it gives you insights to help track and improve your gut health.
48:22And maybe even prevent serious problems down the line.
48:25Right now, this tech is especially useful in senior living facilities.
48:30The last item on our list isn't something you'd need at home.
48:33But if you ever see one next to you, just grab it.
48:37This colorful thing is called the Dazzle Box.
48:39And it could save a lot more disaster victims, especially during earthquakes and floods.
48:44It's a super-tough container designed to drop supplies from a plane or a helicopter.
48:50What's impressive is that the materials used for the Dazzle Box survived a 150-foot drop from a crane and
48:57it stayed intact.
48:59The inventors even added emergency LED lights, so it's visible at night.
49:04Right now, this funny-shaped box is still a prototype that won a design contest.
49:08But if it ever hits the market, it could really become a game-changer.
49:14If you're planning a shopping trip to Japan, make sure you know your size because the sizing there is pretty
49:20different from what we're used to in the U.S.
49:22For instance, if you were a medium in Texas, you might find yourself in an XL in Osaka.
49:29This sizing quirk isn't just Japan-specific.
49:32It's the same in other Asian countries like China and Vietnam, too.
49:37Generally speaking, Japanese folks are a bit slimmer and shorter than many Americans and Europeans.
49:43So when you're shopping, keep in mind that most stores carry sizes that are more in line with the average
49:48body types of the local population.
49:52Japan just keeps throwing delightful surprises our way.
49:55Check this out.
49:56There's an actual lemon floating inside this can of Chuhi, a traditional Japanese drink.
50:02Canned Chuhi is super convenient, but true fans know that the ultimate way to enjoy this drink is with fresh
50:09lemon juice squeezed right into a glass.
50:12So, somebody really smart designed a can you can pop the entire top off, revealing a slice of real lemon,
50:19just chilling inside.
50:21Oh, and if you're scratching your head about what to do with that lemon slice, the official manufacturer website suggests
50:27you munch on it.
50:29If you drank too many soda pops and got stuck in the elevator in Japan, worry not and check the
50:35corners.
50:35That's not what you thought.
50:37I do not suggest that you answer the call of nature right there in the corner.
50:41It's disgusting.
50:42There are toilets for that, and in Japan, some elevators have built-in WCs.
50:47While it may sound a bit quirky, the idea sprouted from some serious concerns.
50:53Several years ago, a massive earthquake shook things up south of Tokyo, bringing 19,000 elevators to a screeching halt.
51:00In fact, 14 elevators got stuck, and people were trapped inside.
51:06It took 70 minutes to rescue some of them.
51:09With Japan's shaky history, and I mean it literally, they're looking for ways to make those stuck elevator moments a
51:15bit more bearable.
51:16The country boasts around 1.1 million elevators, and during quakes, malfunctioning lifts can leave people stranded for hours.
51:24To tackle these sticky situations, lawmakers are considering adding restrooms and water to elevators.
51:32Heads up, using credit cards in Japan can be a bit of a gamble.
51:37While more places are starting to accept them, cash is still king, especially if you're wandering off the tourist trail.
51:44My tip?
51:45Bring enough yen for the first week or two of your trip, especially if you're planning on staying a while.
51:50And make sure you know how to get more cash once you're there.
51:54Not all ATMs take international cards, but you can always count on the ones at 7-Elevens and the post
52:00office.
52:01Just keep in mind that some post office ATMs shut down for the day at 5 p.m.
52:06Yep, they close.
52:08Oh, and don't forget to give your bank a heads up about your travel plans, or else your card might
52:13get blocked when you need it most.
52:14Trust me, it happens more often than you think.
52:19In China, officials have created a 100-feet cell phone lane for people glued to their phones while walking,
52:26complete with a sign calling it the first mobile phone sidewalk in China.
52:31It looks like the phone lane there is pretty much a replica of one that popped up on 18th Street
52:37in Washington, D.C.
52:38The original was actually part of an experiment on crowd behavior by National Geographic.
52:46In France, there was a time when you could go check out the McBaguette, a mix of your average burger
52:52with some French touch.
52:54You were served a baguette instead of buns.
52:57Still, changing the type of bread didn't make it any more local.
53:00A baguette with meat inside is still called American in France.
53:04This baguette is no longer available, though.
53:07By the way, France isn't the only country that tried to adapt McDonald's to the given country.
53:13In Italy, they have not only nuggets and chicken wings as snacks, but even snacked the Parmigiano Reggiano, basically a
53:20lump of cheese.
53:22Now, look at this humble glass of yellowish liquid.
53:26Can you recognize the iconic Fanta here?
53:29I bet you can't, and it's all about the color.
53:32Still, if you tried it, you'd instantly spot that it tastes better than in the U.S.
53:36How come?
53:37Well, let me break it down for you.
53:40Fanta actually started out in Germany back in 1940 as a cheap substitute for Coca-Cola during the hard years,
53:46with no orange juice involved.
53:48Later, in 1955, they resumed production in Naples, this time mixing in some orange juice.
53:55A few years later, Coca-Cola picked it up and began selling it globally.
53:59There are tons of local versions of Fanta, over 70 in fact, tailored to fit regional preferences.
54:06So, if you're wondering why Fanta tastes so different outside of Italy, it's all about local flavors.
54:11But at least the original orange Fanta has its roots in Italy.
54:15Also, in Italy, if a drink is labeled as citrus drink, it has to contain at least 20% of
54:21actual juice.
54:23And even though Fanta in Italy has less than that, around 12% orange juice, in other places, it's only
54:29around 2.5%, or even none.
54:32No wonder it tastes different.
54:34Here's a quirky little tidbit you might not stumble upon in your average travel guide.
54:39In Germany, almost every parking garage has a special treat just for the ladies.
54:44Yep, the top floor is reserved exclusively for women.
54:48As long as there are no guys in the car, you're golden.
54:51This sweet setup was introduced as a safety measure.
54:53If a woman's out shopping or catching up with a friend over dinner, her wheels are parked close to the
54:59exit, and under the watchful eye of security.
55:01While some folks have debated the validity of these female-only spaces, they were created with safety in mind.
55:08Even though Germany is pretty safe overall, it's nice to have that extra layer of protection.
55:15Now, this Reddit user shared a photo of a bathroom in a deli hotel.
55:20It all looks cool and fancy, but hey, aren't these rugs?
55:24Looks weird, especially placed right under the urinals.
55:28I mean, they are surely here for a reason.
55:30But I don't have an explanation yet.
55:32Share your thoughts in the comments.
55:36Ever found yourself wandering the charming streets of France, stomach growling,
55:40only to discover that your favorite boulangerie is closed for its midday siesta?
55:45When hunger strikes and the boulangerie is shut, it's time to meet your new best friend, the baguette vending machine.
55:51You may no longer get a baguette from McDonald's, but there are fresh baguettes available from an automatic dispenser.
55:58In fact, they're popping up all over France, even on quaint village outskirts,
56:03or embedded into walls like your friendly neighborhood ATM.
56:09Let's go back to Japan for a sec, shall we?
56:12In Japan, gas pumps hanging from the ceiling are a thing, especially in tight spaces.
56:17The nozzles are up high, so the ground level is all for cars.
56:22The fuel still comes from underground, pumped up through a cool system right into your tank.
56:26It may look weird, but it's a cool idea for several reasons.
56:29First, these stations can fit way more cars, up to six, compared to just one or two at regular stations.
56:37Plus, you can park however you want.
56:40No worries about where your fuel tank is.
56:43Also, gas station attendants often help fill up your tank, making it quick and hassle-free.
56:48So if you visit Japan, keep an eye out for these cool stations.
56:54Ever wondered why a group of adults is eating sandwiches with chocolate sprinkles and sipping milk?
57:00Welcome to Dutch Lunchtime!
57:02Nope, you won't see pasta, soups, meat, or anything of that kind.
57:06You will see really funky sandwiches like this one.
57:10The Dutch are adventurous with their sandwich spreads.
57:13Sure, cheese on brown bread is classic, but how about peanut butter with honey?
57:18Or topped with chocolate sprinkles?
57:20Yep, that's a thing.
57:21You also have sweet speculose spread and kokosbrut, which is coconut-flavored sugar on bread.
57:28Foreigners often find it funny how toppings just seem to fly everywhere.
57:32Instead of warm meals, the Dutch have nailed the sandwich scene.
57:36One American businesswoman shared a laugh about a World Bank meeting,
57:40where men in suits pulled out sandwiches with meat pate and milk.
57:43She said it was the most memorable lunch ever.
