00:00:01You got used to browsing the web, playing games, and connecting with your friends on social media.

00:00:06All at the convenience of the iPhone in your pocket.

00:00:09But what if I were to tell you that there were many more hidden uses inside it?

00:00:14Back Tap

00:00:16Have you ever noticed that fancy Apple logo on the back of your iPhone?

00:00:21If you've got a cover on, go ahead and pull it off so you can check it out.

00:00:26Okay, you're now probably thinking, there's nothing secret about this, the obvious brand logo on my iPhone.

00:00:33Sure, it might not seem so special.

00:00:35But did you know that it's more than just a handsome decoration?

00:00:39It's also, as a matter of fact, a button.

00:00:42Don't believe me? Give it a try.

00:00:47But, before you go tapping at it like you're using your phone backward, you'll need to adjust your settings.

00:00:52There's a reason this handy feature is considered a secret.

00:00:56First, pull up your settings.

00:00:58Tap on Accessibility, and then the Touch menu, and navigate your way to the very bottom of the list, where

00:01:05you'll find the Back Tap button.

00:01:08Found it? Great!

00:01:09You can choose the Double Tap or Triple Tap option, whichever you prefer.

00:01:15And best of all, you'll have a multitude of options to choose from.

00:01:19You can have your Back Tap feature take a photo with your camera app, alert Siri, switch apps, and even

00:01:26take a screenshot.

00:01:28It'll make things a lot easier than performing finger gymnastics when you need to take a screenshot.

00:01:34Adjust Siri's pronunciations.

00:01:38Have you ever asked Siri to call a friend?

00:01:41Maybe you've said, Siri, call Hermione.

00:01:44Only for Siri to comply with calling Hermione.

00:01:49Okay, you may not have Harry Potter's best friend in your contacts list, but we can all agree it's not

00:01:55the easiest name to pronounce.

00:01:57Siri might be one of the most intelligent digital assistants in the smartphone game, and sometimes a bit of a

00:02:04smarty pants.

00:02:06But iPhone's companion can often struggle to pronounce even the most common names.

00:02:11If this bothers you, then you'd be delighted to hear you can actually correct Siri's pronunciations.

00:02:17The simplest way is to catch Siri in the act and say, that's not how you pronounce.

00:02:23It will prompt Siri to ask for the correct pronunciation for each name, first, middle, and last, or the name

00:02:31of a place if it's not for a person.

00:02:34Once you've given it, Siri will generate some options, and all you have to do is pick the correct one.

00:02:40If your digital best friend is still struggling, it might help to spell it out.

00:02:45Open your contacts, select the person Siri is struggling to pronounce, and choose Edit.

00:02:52You can add the correct pronunciation in the Notes section using phonetic spelling and click Pronunciation Spelling to train Siri

00:03:00to get it right.

00:03:01Even a super smart digital assistant needs some help sometimes.

00:03:05Hey Siri, it's Leviosa, not Leviosar.

00:03:11Measure app

00:03:13Is a toolkit too clunky to carry around?

00:03:15Or maybe you've forgotten which drawer you place the measuring tape in?

00:03:19That's okay.

00:03:21iPhone has got some more secrets that will help you out.

00:03:24Did you know that iPhone has a few tools in its arsenal that will serve your carpentry needs?

00:03:29Take the measure app, for instance.

00:03:31You no longer need that long, awkward-to-use floppy tape to get a measurement on your coffee table, bookshelf,

00:03:38or couch.

00:03:40The app uses augmented reality to measure objects around you using your phone's camera.

00:03:47The first thing you'll need to do is move your phone around so the app can analyze the area you

00:03:53intend to measure.

00:03:54You'll eventually find a white circle with a dot in the middle of your screen.

00:03:58From there, it's not so different from an actual measuring tape.

00:04:03Just line up the dot with the corner of the object you want to measure, and trace it to where

00:04:08you want the measurement to end.

00:04:10If you're a builder, you might want to stick to the physical tape for more accurate measurement.

00:04:15This option isn't necessarily for the professionals.

00:04:19But the app is excellent for getting a rough estimate.

00:04:23The measure app can also be used as a level.

00:04:26Simply switch over to the Level tab in your app and place your phone on the surface where you want

00:04:32to get a reading.

00:04:33When you get a green screen and a zero reading, your surface is nice and level.

00:04:39It's not so different from the compass app's Level feature, so you might have had some bad experiences with this

00:04:46feature before.

00:04:47With your new digital toolbox, your iPhone will make you the handiest person in the house.

00:04:54Create custom vibration

00:04:57We all live pretty fast-paced and busy lives these days, and whether we're at work, in a movie, or

00:05:03at school, more often than not, we have our iPhone set to vibrate.

00:05:09Sure, there are some cool ringtones to choose from, but there aren't many occasions where a sudden tune coming from

00:05:16our pocket wouldn't distract those around us.

00:05:19Or worse yet, it leads to our phone being confiscated by a disgruntled employer or teacher.

00:05:25Luckily, there are plenty of vibration options to choose from.

00:05:29You probably have various ones for different occasions and different contacts.

00:05:34None of those settings quite your jam?

00:05:36Apple has a solution to this too.

00:05:38Another hidden feature in the iPhone is creating a custom vibration for your alerts.

00:05:44If you want to feel the beat to your favorite song when your best friend calls or texts, or when

00:05:50it's time to wake up in the morning, you create that pattern on your iPhone.

00:05:54Once again, you'll need to go into those handy settings, then, in Sound and Haptics, choose the tone you'd like

00:06:01to customize.

00:06:02Tap Vibration.

00:06:04Then, create new vibration.

00:06:07The next step is to create those sweet vibrations like a soundless DJ by tapping your finger on the screen

00:06:14until you have the silent rhythm you're happy with.

00:06:17Now you've got a vibrate option to your liking.

00:06:21It might even make the early morning wake-up calls just a little more pleasant.

00:06:26Just like the Beach Boys, you'll be picking up good vibrations.

00:06:31Trackpad.

00:06:33With smartphones, we no longer need two hands to use a keyboard.

00:06:38All you need is one good thumb.

00:06:40Yet, it can still prove a little tedious sometimes as typos are easy to make,

00:06:45and all your characters can't fit all at once on that crammed keyboard at the bottom of your phone screen.

00:06:51You might be typing out a long body of text,

00:06:54only to realize you left out the R out of the word drive a few sentences back,

00:06:59which might give your friends the wrong idea about what you're doing.

00:07:03It can be a fiddly task to fix it,

00:07:06and it's often easiest to delete the entire word and write it all over again.

00:07:10Or, so it may seem.

00:07:12If you're a stickler for good grammar in your text messages,

00:07:15you might want to shift your keyboard into trackpad mode for easier editing.

00:07:20That's right, another hidden gem on your iPhone.

00:07:23It's easy to access, too.

00:07:25All you have to do is hold your finger on the spacebar.

00:07:29All the other keys will gray out,

00:07:31and you'll be able to move the cursor to wherever it needs to go.

00:07:35Then, lift your finger off the spacebar to continue typing.

00:07:39Another tedium to writing on that tiny iPhone keyboard

00:07:42is shifting tabs to use numbers and symbols.

00:07:46It may not seem like much,

00:07:48but it's sure to be a little frustrating

00:07:50when you have to jump back and forth multiple times in the same message.

00:07:53However, there is another hidden feature in your iPhone's keyboard

00:07:58that will alleviate this.

00:08:00Hold it down instead of tapping on the numeric 123 tab,

00:08:04and it will bring up the numbers and symbols tab.

00:08:07As long as you're holding it,

00:08:09the tab will remain open to pick your character,

00:08:11and releasing will return you to letters.

00:08:14Soon, you'll be fast enough to write a novel on your smartphone.

00:08:17Did you ever tie a string between two plastic cups

00:08:21so you could talk to your friend from opposite ends of your home?

00:08:24It may have seemed pretty cool at the time,

00:08:26but that plastic cup couldn't tell you the weather

00:08:29or let you send an email, right?

00:08:31Indeed, we've come a long way since the string telephone.

00:08:35In fact, can you even imagine life before smartphones?

00:08:38They have become almost like our clothes or the shoes we walk in.

00:08:42It's almost our consistent accessory.

00:08:45Now you know some of these handy secrets,

00:08:47and you'll be an iPhone pro.

00:08:49However, if these secrets aren't for you,

00:08:52there's always the string telephone.

00:08:54At least it won't run out of charge.

00:08:58If you look at it on the street,

00:09:00you'll think a fire hydrant is about 3 feet in height.

00:09:02But the actual size of the device

00:09:04used to provide water supply to firefighters

00:09:06all over the world is twice as large.

00:09:09That is, if you count the rest of the hydrant,

00:09:11which is hiding underground.

00:09:13They're mostly red,

00:09:14and it's not just a matter of urban design.

00:09:16First of all, they need to be of bright,

00:09:18easily noticeable colors,

00:09:19so firefighters can spot them fast when they need to.

00:09:22The choice of color depends on how much water

00:09:25the hydrant can hold.

00:09:26It can sometimes vary depending on the location,

00:09:29but here's the breakdown.

00:09:30A red fire hydrant can splash 500 gallons of water per minute,

00:09:35while an orange one, at least 1,000 gallons.

00:09:39Green ones mostly process 1,500 gallons of water per minute,

00:09:43and the most plentiful ones colored blue

00:09:45can generally contain over 1,500 gallons.

00:09:49Hey bowling fans,

00:09:50isn't it super annoying when your bowling ball gets cracked?

00:09:53Turns out that most of them get damaged

00:09:55because of incorrect storage or spikes in temperature.

00:09:59Now come on and face it,

00:10:01since it's already cracked a bit,

00:10:02aren't you curious what's actually inside the bowling ball?

00:10:05Because I sure am.

00:10:06Let's have a look.

00:10:07They mostly make the inner core of the ball

00:10:09of powdered metal oxides,

00:10:11like calcium or iron oxide.

00:10:13They mix them with some resin and catalyst

00:10:15to harden the whole mixture.

00:10:17So that light bulb shape you now see inside of the ball

00:10:20is actually its heaviest part.

00:10:22It also influences how your bowling ball rotates

00:10:24when going down the lane.

00:10:27The same goes with spray paint cans.

00:10:29When you shake it, it makes a weird noise,

00:10:31but what is that thing in there?

00:10:33It's called a pea,

00:10:35and it's meant to hold the paint mixture in place

00:10:37and maintain its shape.

00:10:38They generally make it out of plastic,

00:10:40metal, or ceramic.

00:10:41It basically acts as a whisk

00:10:44to make sure your paint is well mixed together

00:10:46before you apply it to your surface of choice.

00:10:49Ever wondered how soda bottles

00:10:50keep that refreshing fizz for that long?

00:10:53Well, they have a little plastic ring fastened to the lid.

00:10:56They place it there to keep the gas from escaping

00:10:59and making the soda go flat,

00:11:01even if you shake it around in your bag the whole day.

00:11:05Speaking of things we use on a hot summer's day,

00:11:07wait, wait, don't put your baseball cap on just yet.

00:11:10Take a look at it for a minute,

00:11:12and you'll notice there's a small button on the very top.

00:11:14Is it functional,

00:11:16or is it just there for the sake of design?

00:11:18Way back when people started using fabrics

00:11:20to cover their heads,

00:11:21some say the button was actually functional.

00:11:24Since it's on top of the cap

00:11:25where the fabric panels come together,

00:11:27the top button helps keep the cap crown

00:11:29in one single piece.

00:11:31Now, with recent advances in fabric and pattern design,

00:11:35the button is more of an aesthetic feature.

00:11:36It's used to cover up the joint point

00:11:38of the fabric panels.

00:11:40Your cap might not have a button at all,

00:11:42but don't you think a cap actually looks better with one?

00:11:45Cotton pads have two sides,

00:11:47and if you take the time to look at them carefully,

00:11:50they're actually different in texture.

00:11:52Just in case you've ever wondered why,

00:11:54the textured side is for applying makeup,

00:11:56and the even side is for removing it.

00:12:00Bookworms, this one is for you.

00:12:02Dust jackets that come with a lot of hardcover books

00:12:04are not just meant to make your book look pretty.

00:12:06They also double as a bookmark.

00:12:09Just fold the pages you've already read

00:12:11underneath the inside of the jacket,

00:12:13and voila!

00:12:14Next time you reach out for your favorite shirt,

00:12:17take a look at the top buttonhole.

00:12:18It should be stitched horizontally,

00:12:20and all the other ones are vertical.

00:12:23Turns out that the dress shirt was designed this way,

00:12:25since the first and the last buttons

00:12:27were the first ones to unbutton throughout the day.

00:12:30They then changed the direction of the buttonhole

00:12:32to ensure the shirt would stay nice and fitted

00:12:34before you're ready to take it off.

00:12:37These days we have so many variations of this awesome dessert

00:12:41that it's hard to imagine we've ever lived without it.

00:12:43You can find different types of cookie dough ice cream

00:12:46or even chocolate chip cookie cake basically everywhere,

00:12:49but the famous cookie wasn't actually invented until 1930.

00:12:53The story goes that a woman named Ruth Graves Wakefield

00:12:56was preparing some chocolate cookies

00:12:58as she was waiting for some guests to arrive.

00:13:00She soon figured out she was out of Baker's chocolate,

00:13:03a crucial ingredient for the classic cookies.

00:13:05To fix things up,

00:13:07she chopped up a block of semi-sweet chocolate,

00:13:09thinking it would eventually spread out evenly

00:13:11throughout the batter, given the heat of the oven.

00:13:14Things didn't necessarily go as planned,

00:13:16but hey, it's great they didn't

00:13:18because this is how she invented this modern dessert

00:13:20we now can't get enough of.

00:13:23And speaking of popular snacks,

00:13:25the potato chip is even younger

00:13:27than the chocolate chip cookie.

00:13:28Well, at least historically.

00:13:31There are many stories trying to explain

00:13:33how it was invented.

00:13:34One of them goes like this.

00:13:35A chef named George Crumb, based in New York,

00:13:39put the chips together in 1953.

00:13:41He decided to try a different cooking solution

00:13:44when one of his customers didn't have nice things to say

00:13:47about his French fries.

00:13:48He said they were too thick and kind of mushy.

00:13:51Then, Crumb came up with potatoes

00:13:53that were thinly sliced and fried until brown.

00:13:56People absolutely loved the dish,

00:13:59and they welcomed the first ever batch of chips

00:14:01with open arms.

00:14:03Ice cream, anyone?

00:14:05If the story is true,

00:14:06back in 1904 at the St. Louis World's Fair,

00:14:09one ice cream shop owner ran out of cups

00:14:11to serve his dish.

00:14:13So, he fashioned a waffle into the shape of a cone,

00:14:16and the rest was history.

00:14:18Okay, I'll admit it.

00:14:20Chewing gum-like treats have been around

00:14:21since the ancient Greeks.

00:14:23So, this one isn't particularly a revolutionary discovery,

00:14:26but the actual gum we buy today

00:14:28wasn't there until the late 1800s.

00:14:31An American inventor named Thomas Adams

00:14:34wanted to mix together different chemicals

00:14:36to create rubber.

00:14:37He tried and failed, for that matter,

00:14:39to play with Chickle for his experiment,

00:14:41but ended up fashioning this neat treat.

00:14:43They still use Chickle to this day

00:14:45to produce most chewing gums.

00:14:48Back in the 1800s,

00:14:49there lived a man named Jean-Baptiste Jolly,

00:14:51who worked in the fabric industry as a textile maker.

00:14:54How he came up with this next invention

00:14:57that we use a lot these days

00:14:58has less to do with him

00:14:59and more to do with his maid.

00:15:02The story goes that the woman

00:15:03accidentally knocked a kerosene lamp over

00:15:06onto a tablecloth.

00:15:07Instead of getting upset over the damaged fabric,

00:15:10Jolly noticed that the substance

00:15:12actually made the material cleaner.

00:15:14Figured it out yet?

00:15:15Yep, that's how the idea

00:15:17for the very first dry cleaner popped up.

00:15:19A very neat accident,

00:15:21if I do say so myself.

00:15:23Now this one I loved.

00:15:25Did you know matchsticks

00:15:26were initially called friction lights?

00:15:28Or at least that's how their inventor,

00:15:30a chemist named John Walker,

00:15:32called them back in 1826.

00:15:35He scraped a stick coated in chemicals

00:15:38across his hearth,

00:15:39totally by accident one day,

00:15:40and realized that they ignited

00:15:42and created a spark.

00:15:44Initially made out of cardboard,

00:15:46they were then made

00:15:47using wooden splints and sandpaper.

00:15:50Back in the 1940s,

00:15:52a man named Harry Coover

00:15:53stumbled upon a chemical formulation

00:15:55that seemed to stick

00:15:56to everything it touched.

00:15:58The scientific community at the time

00:16:00didn't look much into it

00:16:01as the formula didn't seem

00:16:02to have many applications back then.

00:16:05It wasn't until 1951

00:16:07that he looked a bit more

00:16:08into the formula

00:16:09and decided to repurpose it,

00:16:11along with a fellow

00:16:12Eastman Kodak researcher

00:16:14named Fred Joyner.

00:16:15They gave it a proper full name.

00:16:17But you must know it

00:16:18by the shorter version,

00:16:20superglue.

00:16:22It also has many uses

00:16:24in security these days

00:16:25that it's hard to believe

00:16:26that we didn't come up

00:16:27with this one on purpose.

00:16:29Back in 1903,

00:16:30a scientist

00:16:31named Edward Benedictus

00:16:33knocked over a flask

00:16:34by accident.

00:16:35He looked down

00:16:36and was amazed to see

00:16:37that the glassware

00:16:38had just slightly cracked

00:16:39but maintained its shape.

00:16:41He was expecting it

00:16:42to break into

00:16:43a million tiny pieces.

00:16:45Curious about this hidden feature,

00:16:46he looked into it

00:16:47and figured out

00:16:48what was keeping the glass together

00:16:50was a substance coating

00:16:51the inside of the glass.

00:16:53Ta-da!

00:16:53That's how humanity

00:16:54came up with safety glass.

00:16:58Road and construction workers

00:16:59are usually dressed in orange

00:17:01because the bright orange hue

00:17:03is visible even in bad weather.

00:17:05It's the most effective color

00:17:06to attract attention

00:17:07and alert people.

00:17:08No wonder lots of safety jackets

00:17:10and traffic cones

00:17:11are orange as well.

00:17:12The stop sign

00:17:14has an eight-sided shape

00:17:15to help drivers

00:17:16recognize it easily,

00:17:17even if they see it

00:17:18from the back.

00:17:19And when the signs

00:17:20weren't reflective yet,

00:17:21the octagon shape

00:17:22prevented drivers

00:17:23from confusing the stop sign

00:17:24with any other at night.

00:17:27The rumble strips

00:17:28on the side of the road

00:17:29are placed there

00:17:29to alert drivers

00:17:30who doze off

00:17:31behind the wheel.

00:17:32When their tires

00:17:33move over these strips,

00:17:34the noise and vibration

00:17:36work like an alarm clock.

00:17:37There are magnetic locks

00:17:39on fuel hoses

00:17:40at gas stations.

00:17:41They come in handy

00:17:42if someone drives away

00:17:43with the gas nozzle

00:17:44still attached to their car.

00:17:46In this case,

00:17:47the lock detaches

00:17:48the hose automatically.

00:17:49Oh, that's embarrassing.

00:17:51Gasoline looks like a rainbow

00:17:53in a puddle

00:17:53because it can't mix with water.

00:17:55It forms a thin membrane

00:17:57over it.

00:17:57When light reflects from it

00:17:59and the water at the same time,

00:18:01you've got a rainbow.

00:18:03A triple handle

00:18:04on a jerry can

00:18:05is there to make it easier

00:18:07for two people to carry it

00:18:08and distribute fuel evenly.

00:18:10Gas cans often have

00:18:11a second hole

00:18:12that actually needs

00:18:13to be uncapped too

00:18:14before you pour the gas.

00:18:15The air passage

00:18:16will prevent it

00:18:17from pouring out,

00:18:18so no more fuel waste.

00:18:21Most gas cans

00:18:22have two holes with caps,

00:18:23a bigger and a smaller one.

00:18:25You're supposed to uncap

00:18:26the smaller hole

00:18:27before pouring gas

00:18:28inside the bigger one.

00:18:29It'll prevent the liquid

00:18:31from glugging

00:18:32and spilling all over

00:18:33your clothes

00:18:33and the ground.

00:18:35Another little thingy

00:18:36we often neglect

00:18:37is a point on an ointment cap.

00:18:39Most tubes are usually sealed

00:18:41with a plastic film or a foil

00:18:42and opening it

00:18:43with your fingernails

00:18:44isn't the best idea.

00:18:46A point easily opens

00:18:47even the most safely sealed tube.

00:18:50You can use most screwdrivers

00:18:52together with a wrench

00:18:53to create more torque.

00:18:55Just place the wrench

00:18:57over the handle

00:18:57of the screwdriver.

00:18:59This way,

00:18:59you'll need to apply

00:19:00a lot less force

00:19:01than before.

00:19:02You'll also be able

00:19:03to get to hard-to-reach areas

00:19:05more easily.

00:19:07They install cameras

00:19:08in shops, banks,

00:19:09and hospitals

00:19:10to monitor everything.

00:19:11If something happens,

00:19:13you can call the police

00:19:14or rescuers.

00:19:15The camera really helps

00:19:16to solve a lot of problems.

00:19:18Why are there no cameras

00:19:19on planes?

00:19:21The crew keep order

00:19:22on the plane,

00:19:23but they won't be able

00:19:24to do anything

00:19:24if something serious happens.

00:19:27Besides,

00:19:27there's nowhere to run

00:19:28on the plane.

00:19:29During the flight,

00:19:30the cameras are useless,

00:19:32and after the flight,

00:19:33the words of the passengers

00:19:35work ideally

00:19:35instead of cameras.

00:19:37So,

00:19:37if cameras do no good,

00:19:39then why spend money on them?

00:19:41Water is great

00:19:42at cleaning stuff

00:19:43because it has

00:19:44triangular molecules.

00:19:45They're made of

00:19:46one oxygen

00:19:46and two hydrogen atoms,

00:19:48um, H2O?

00:19:49Such molecules

00:19:51have slightly different charges

00:19:52on their opposite sides,

00:19:54pretty much like magnets.

00:19:55That's why water

00:19:56easily sticks

00:19:57to other molecules,

00:19:58including those

00:19:58that make up dirt.

00:20:00Lots of private houses

00:20:01have triangular-shaped roofs

00:20:03because this allows rain,

00:20:05snow,

00:20:05and fallen leaves

00:20:06to slide off the slope.

00:20:07If all this stuff

00:20:09piled up on top

00:20:10of your house,

00:20:10one day,

00:20:11your roof would collapse.

00:20:13When a storm is coming,

00:20:15clouds seem to turn dark,

00:20:16but it's just an illusion.

00:20:18Thin clouds on a sunny day

00:20:19let the light through easily.

00:20:21They also scatter

00:20:22all the colors

00:20:23of the light spectrum.

00:20:24This makes us perceive

00:20:26the clouds as white,

00:20:27but the thicker the clouds are

00:20:29and the more water droplets

00:20:30they contain,

00:20:31the less light they let through

00:20:32and the darker they look.

00:20:34A good doorknob

00:20:36is the one made of brass,

00:20:37bronze,

00:20:38or some copper alloys.

00:20:40These metals

00:20:41have an anti-germ effect.

00:20:43Bacteria spread

00:20:44way slower on them.

00:20:46They also get rid of germs

00:20:47pretty fast,

00:20:48within a couple of hours.

00:20:50Nope,

00:20:50it doesn't mean

00:20:51you don't have to

00:20:51wash your hands.

00:20:53Diamonds have such

00:20:54symmetrical shape

00:20:55to show you

00:20:56their brilliance.

00:20:57Initially,

00:20:57the gems

00:20:58aren't so beautiful.

00:20:59They go through

00:21:00several stages of cutting

00:21:01and then

00:21:02become pieces of elegance.

00:21:04Most of these stones

00:21:05have a round shape

00:21:06with slightly pointed corners.

00:21:08Diamonds shine

00:21:09the brightest

00:21:10in this shape.

00:21:12Why are there

00:21:13two holes

00:21:13in the socket?

00:21:14The left hole

00:21:15is neutral,

00:21:16the right hole

00:21:17is not,

00:21:17and the gap

00:21:19underneath

00:21:19is ground.

00:21:20Electricity needs

00:21:21to flow

00:21:22through the chain.

00:21:23The current

00:21:24flows from

00:21:24the hot slot,

00:21:25passes through

00:21:26your phone charger,

00:21:27for example,

00:21:27and then goes

00:21:28through

00:21:29the neutral hole.

00:21:30Ever wondered

00:21:31what that small pocket

00:21:32on your jeans is for?

00:21:33People used to wear

00:21:34watches on chains.

00:21:36That small pocket

00:21:37was meant for it.

00:21:38Now,

00:21:39almost no one

00:21:39wears such a watch,

00:21:41but the pocket remains.

00:21:42You can still keep

00:21:43something small in there

00:21:44like a ring.

00:21:45In London,

00:21:46there are some poles

00:21:47that look like street lamps,

00:21:49but there are no bulbs.

00:21:50Well,

00:21:51their official name

00:21:52is stink pipes,

00:21:53and they're a thing

00:21:54of the past now,

00:21:55but they used to come

00:21:56in handy back

00:21:57in the 19th century.

00:21:58These hollow poles

00:22:00would vent away the air

00:22:01and explosive gases

00:22:02with bad smells

00:22:03to prevent,

00:22:04shall we say,

00:22:05unwanted consequences.

00:22:07Most kitchen shears

00:22:08have metal

00:22:09plier-like teeth

00:22:10in the middle.

00:22:11Between the handle grips,

00:22:12they can help you

00:22:13crack nuts,

00:22:14crab shells,

00:22:15and other tough products.

00:22:16You can also open jars

00:22:18and bottles

00:22:18or remove herb stems

00:22:20with their help.

00:22:22Leather often looks dull

00:22:23to the eye

00:22:24because it's covered

00:22:25with itsy-bitsy

00:22:26scratches and scrapes.

00:22:27They scatter the light

00:22:28that hits the material.

00:22:29When you coat your shoes

00:22:31in a layer of wax,

00:22:32you fill these tiny crevices.

00:22:34The surface becomes smoother,

00:22:36and the rays of light

00:22:37bounce off it

00:22:38more evenly.

00:22:39That's why

00:22:39the leather looks shiny.

00:22:42Highlighters are filled

00:22:43with a special

00:22:43semi-transparent

00:22:44fluorescent ink

00:22:46that can glow

00:22:46in dim light.

00:22:48Yellow and light green hues

00:22:50are the most popular

00:22:51because they don't prevent you

00:22:52from seeing the text

00:22:53after black and white

00:22:54photocopying.

00:22:56Photocopiers perceive

00:22:57yellow and light green marks

00:22:58as very pale

00:22:59and don't print them.

00:23:01They make magnets

00:23:02shaped as a horseshoe

00:23:03because this increases

00:23:04the magnetic force.

00:23:06Colors matter too.

00:23:07The blue part

00:23:08indicates the south pole.

00:23:10The red part

00:23:11the north pole.

00:23:12The two poles

00:23:13work simultaneously

00:23:14and increase

00:23:15the attraction force.

00:23:17The dime-sized holes

00:23:18in elevator doors

00:23:19is actually a keyhole.

00:23:21If the doors get stuck,

00:23:23an operator can open them

00:23:24manually thanks to this hole.

00:23:26They'll just insert

00:23:27a special key.

00:23:29The tiny hole

00:23:30in the airplane window

00:23:31is there to balance

00:23:32air pressure.

00:23:33The window

00:23:34has three layers.

00:23:35The outer pane

00:23:36is extremely sturdy.

00:23:38It can withstand

00:23:39air pressure differences

00:23:40during take-off

00:23:41and landing.

00:23:42The inner pane,

00:23:43which is the closest to you,

00:23:44is made of cheaper materials.

00:23:46It prevents potential damage

00:23:48to the window.

00:23:49The hole itself

00:23:50is in the middle pane.

00:23:51It not only balances

00:23:53the pressure

00:23:53but also prevents

00:23:54the window from fogging.

00:23:57Escalator brushes

00:23:58are there for your safety.

00:23:59They don't allow you

00:24:00to come too close

00:24:01to the edge

00:24:01of the escalator.

00:24:03This way,

00:24:04your clothes won't end up

00:24:05between the steps.

00:24:06You see the sun

00:24:07as yellow or orange

00:24:09because the atmosphere

00:24:10of our planet

00:24:11scatters such colors

00:24:12as blue, green,

00:24:13and violet.

00:24:14This is also why

00:24:15the sun looks warmer

00:24:16at sunrise and sunset.

00:24:19Go shopping

00:24:20for some oranges

00:24:21and I'm sure you'll get them

00:24:22in a red mesh bag.

00:24:23You'll rarely see them

00:24:25lying around

00:24:25without one of those.

00:24:26It's pure marketing

00:24:27and that color

00:24:28isn't a random choice.

00:24:30When packed

00:24:31in a red mesh bag,

00:24:32oranges appear

00:24:33more orange,

00:24:34fresher,

00:24:34and more appealing to you.

00:24:36So, you're more likely

00:24:37to buy them, right?

00:24:39Lemons are usually sold

00:24:40in green mesh bags

00:24:41for a similar reason.

00:24:43If you pack them in red,

00:24:44they'll appear more orange.

00:24:46Green goes better

00:24:47with yellow

00:24:47and makes those lemons

00:24:48stand out.

00:24:50Mattress manufacturers

00:24:51make a limited number

00:24:53of different mattresses

00:24:54and the only way

00:24:55to make them look different

00:24:56is to come up

00:24:57with a fancy stitching pattern.

00:24:59Two mattresses

00:25:00of two different companies

00:25:01might be the exact same quality

00:25:03but cost differently.

00:25:04Most people

00:25:05will never know it

00:25:06and will decide

00:25:07that different patterns

00:25:08mean something

00:25:09in terms of quality.

00:25:10So,

00:25:11when shopping,

00:25:11don't mind the pattern at all.

00:25:14Almost all hotels

00:25:15have white bed sheets.

00:25:17They choose this color

00:25:18specifically to show

00:25:19how high their standards

00:25:20of cleanliness are.

00:25:21The whiter and brighter

00:25:22the sheets are,

00:25:23the more luxurious

00:25:24the hotel seems.

00:25:25It's much easier

00:25:27to see dirt and stains

00:25:28on white linen.

00:25:29It's like proof

00:25:30that you've checked

00:25:30into a clean room.

00:25:32For all those days

00:25:33when you barely have time

00:25:34for breakfast,

00:25:35there's an easy way

00:25:36to enjoy a nice

00:25:37and fast meal.

00:25:38And it will also save you

00:25:40the hassle

00:25:40of doing the dishes afterwards.

00:25:42I'm talking about

00:25:43instant oatmeal packets.

00:25:45Some manufacturers

00:25:46have added this neat design

00:25:48to the oatmeal.

00:25:49The packet is lined

00:25:50with plastic

00:25:51so you can directly

00:25:52pour water or milk

00:25:53straight into it.

00:25:55This way,

00:25:56you won't have to use

00:25:57a bowl anymore.

00:25:58You place the liquid in

00:25:59and shake.

00:26:01Some packaging

00:26:02also has a demarcation line

00:26:03to show how much liquid

00:26:05should go inside the pack

00:26:06for that quantity.

00:26:08Next time you have

00:26:09to switch apartments,

00:26:10you won't have to worry

00:26:11about carrying

00:26:12that heavy box of books.

00:26:14These days,

00:26:15most moving boxes

00:26:16are specially designed

00:26:17for easy transportation

00:26:18with built-in handles.

00:26:21Well,

00:26:21they're not actually handled.

00:26:22I'll admit,

00:26:23they're basically just holes

00:26:25inside the cardboard box

00:26:26on the sides.

00:26:28But if you slip your hands in,

00:26:30you'll surely notice

00:26:30the boxes become

00:26:31way easier to carry

00:26:32than picking them up

00:26:34altogether.

00:26:36With the onset of so many

00:26:38online reading options

00:26:39like e-books

00:26:40or even apps

00:26:41on your phone

00:26:41that allow you

00:26:42to download novels,

00:26:43you've most likely forgotten

00:26:45about your local library.

00:26:47And hey,

00:26:47I'm not blaming you!

00:26:49But libraries these days

00:26:51offer a lot more services

00:26:52than you're used to

00:26:53apart from free books

00:26:54and audiobook rental.

00:26:56Some of them have a variety

00:26:58of evening classes

00:26:59or can provide access

00:27:00to online courses.

00:27:02You may even be able

00:27:04to join a book club,

00:27:05which is a great way

00:27:06to meet new people

00:27:07and you're guaranteed

00:27:07to get out of that

00:27:08reading slump

00:27:09you've been stuck in.

00:27:12I enjoy picking up dinner

00:27:13on my way home

00:27:14from my favorite takeout place

00:27:15just as you do.

00:27:16But if the food containers

00:27:18are not completely sealed shut,

00:27:20the ride back

00:27:20can prove itself

00:27:21quite the culinary experience,

00:27:23if you know what I mean.

00:27:25Especially for the carpets

00:27:26in your car.

00:27:28Some cars

00:27:29have a curry hook

00:27:30near the center console

00:27:31next to the driver's seat.

00:27:33It has been popular

00:27:34for 20 years

00:27:35and started as a handbag holder

00:27:36or a hook

00:27:37for a small shopping bag.

00:27:39But it quickly became

00:27:40the perfect way

00:27:41to store takeaway food

00:27:42and avoid spilling.

00:27:45I'm almost sure

00:27:46there's an umbrella

00:27:47somewhere in your car,

00:27:48but if I were to ask you

00:27:49where you're storing it,

00:27:50you'd most likely say

00:27:51the trunk, of course.

00:27:53But is that really

00:27:54the best place to keep it?

00:27:56Wouldn't you want

00:27:57to have an umbrella

00:27:58at hand

00:27:58right when you get

00:27:59out of the car?

00:28:01Some car companies

00:28:02have thought about that

00:28:03and don't worry,

00:28:04they don't come

00:28:04with a built-in butler

00:28:05to help you get out

00:28:06of the car all dry.

00:28:08Some specific models

00:28:10have a designated place

00:28:11in the driver's door panel

00:28:12that perfectly fits

00:28:13an umbrella.

00:28:14You have to admit,

00:28:15it's an important thing

00:28:16to consider when researching

00:28:17your next car.

00:28:18More so if you live

00:28:19in a rainy location.

00:28:22Whenever I plan to travel

00:28:23to a new location,

00:28:24I like to have access

00:28:25to the local maps

00:28:26on my phone

00:28:27at any given time.

00:28:28Since you can't always

00:28:30foresee the quality

00:28:31or price of the internet

00:28:32in foreign countries,

00:28:33be sure to download

00:28:34the maps on your phone

00:28:35when connected to Wi-Fi.

00:28:37This way,

00:28:38you'll have easy access

00:28:39to all the must-see locations

00:28:41on your next city break,

00:28:43even if you run out

00:28:44of mobile data.

00:28:45The same goes

00:28:46for Google Translate.

00:28:47The mobile app comes

00:28:49with the option

00:28:49of downloading a language

00:28:51so you'll be able

00:28:51to use it offline.

00:28:54Another nice tip

00:28:55if you're more

00:28:55of the traveler type.

00:28:57If you own an iPhone,

00:28:58text an airline code

00:29:00and flight number

00:29:00to yourself.

00:29:01You'll then notice

00:29:02it will show up

00:29:03with an underline.

00:29:04When clicking on it,

00:29:05you'll be able to pull up

00:29:06flight data,

00:29:07like the gate

00:29:07the flight leaves from

00:29:08or if the flight

00:29:09is on schedule.

00:29:13Flashlights are those objects

00:29:14that we tend to reach out

00:29:15for in an emergency.

00:29:16Like whenever there's

00:29:18a power break

00:29:18or when you need

00:29:19to take a quick trip

00:29:20in the attic

00:29:20for an old photo album

00:29:22or something.

00:29:23If you're ever

00:29:23in a sticky situation

00:29:24and the flashlight

00:29:25runs out of battery,

00:29:26have a look at its base

00:29:28under the battery spring.

00:29:29Some models come

00:29:30with a spare bulb

00:29:31hidden in there.

00:29:34If you're the type

00:29:35of person that likes

00:29:36to wake up early

00:29:37in the morning

00:29:37but the rest of the people

00:29:39in your house

00:29:39enjoy sleeping in,

00:29:40there's a way

00:29:41you can still use

00:29:42your microwave

00:29:42to prepare breakfast

00:29:43without waking everyone up.

00:29:45It turns out

00:29:46some of them

00:29:47come with a built-in

00:29:48mute function

00:29:49that gets rid of

00:29:50all the annoying rings

00:29:51and beeps.

00:29:53In the many times

00:29:54I've found myself

00:29:55driving on local roadways,

00:29:57I've noticed some

00:29:58apparently random

00:29:58blue reflectors

00:29:59here and there.

00:30:01Since I had no idea

00:30:02what they were,

00:30:03I did some research

00:30:04and found out

00:30:04they actually pinpoint

00:30:05the locations

00:30:06of fire hydrants.

00:30:08They're generally offset

00:30:09from the center line

00:30:10on either side

00:30:11and the offset side

00:30:12tells if the hydrant

00:30:13is on the left

00:30:14or right side

00:30:15of the road

00:30:16to assist firefighters

00:30:17on their missions better.

00:30:20Next time you get out

00:30:21of the car

00:30:21and forget to close

00:30:22all the windows,

00:30:23you won't have

00:30:24to get back in there.

00:30:25Just try this.

00:30:26Hold the keys

00:30:27on the door

00:30:28of your car pressed

00:30:29and it should lock

00:30:30all the doors

00:30:30and shut all the windows.

00:30:32The same goes

00:30:33with opening

00:30:34all the doors.

00:30:35Just double-click

00:30:36the button.

00:30:37Most car models

00:30:38should come

00:30:39with this added option

00:30:40but most people

00:30:41just forget

00:30:41or have no idea

00:30:43that they can do that.

00:30:45Whenever you're

00:30:46in that awkward position

00:30:47of messing up

00:30:48a voicemail,

00:30:48do you know

00:30:49there's a way

00:30:49you can delete

00:30:50or re-record the message

00:30:51saving you

00:30:52the unnecessary embarrassment?

00:30:55Stay online

00:30:56after recording

00:30:56the message

00:30:57and dial either

00:30:58pound, number sign

00:30:59or star, asterisk

00:31:01to access

00:31:01the voicemail menu.

00:31:03Further instructions

00:31:04should be provided

00:31:05so you can decide

00:31:05what to do

00:31:06with the recording.

00:31:09Bagels are becoming

00:31:10more and more famous

00:31:11these days

00:31:12on options

00:31:12for breakfast

00:31:13or snacks

00:31:14because they're

00:31:14so tasty

00:31:15and so versatile.

00:31:17The problem is

00:31:17I only want my bagel

00:31:19toasted on one side.

00:31:21Thankfully,

00:31:22some toasters

00:31:22come with a bagel setting

00:31:24which ensures

00:31:25the pastry

00:31:25is toasted

00:31:26on either one

00:31:27of the two sides.

00:31:30Ever wondered

00:31:31why manhole covers

00:31:32only come

00:31:33in that round shape?

00:31:34It turns out

00:31:35that this is the only shape

00:31:36that cannot fall

00:31:37through the hole

00:31:37altogether.

00:31:38Any other shape

00:31:39especially shapes

00:31:40with corners

00:31:41could be rotated

00:31:42so that the lid

00:31:42could fall through.

00:31:45Here's a neat one

00:31:46if you enjoy

00:31:47a little massage

00:31:48whenever you're

00:31:48taking a shower.

00:31:49On most of the

00:31:50shower heads

00:31:51available these days

00:31:52there should be

00:31:53a small metal filter

00:31:54in the back

00:31:55beneath the shower head

00:31:56once you unscrew it.

00:31:58If you give this piece

00:31:59a rough cleaning

00:32:00once in a while

00:32:00you'll find

00:32:01the water pressure

00:32:02to be greatly improved.

00:32:05You may be able

00:32:06to save that

00:32:07wool sweater

00:32:07you've accidentally

00:32:08thrown in the washer

00:32:09and has shrunken

00:32:10down three sizes.

00:32:11Just go in the shower

00:32:12and grab a bottle

00:32:13of hair conditioner.

00:32:15Add it to some

00:32:16cold water in a tub

00:32:17and make a solution

00:32:18and let the garment

00:32:19sit there for at least

00:32:20a couple of hours.

00:32:22The conditioner

00:32:23should help relax

00:32:24the wool fibers

00:32:24and loosen them

00:32:25back up

00:32:26not to mention

00:32:27how nice it should

00:32:28smell afterwards.

00:32:31You might need

00:32:32to do a bit

00:32:32of research

00:32:33before you can

00:32:34safely use this trick

00:32:35but just so that

00:32:36you know

00:32:36there are some

00:32:37modern laptops

00:32:38with drainage channels.

00:32:40Mm-hmm

00:32:40you heard that right.

00:32:42Precisely when you

00:32:42accidentally spilled

00:32:43coffee on it

00:32:44they're designed

00:32:45to ensure any liquid

00:32:46that gets on the keyboard

00:32:47safely drains out

00:32:48at the bottom

00:32:49without damaging

00:32:50the electrical parts.

00:32:51Just make sure

00:32:52to not shake the laptop

00:32:53after you've spilled

00:32:54the liquid

00:32:55so that the system

00:32:56can do its job correctly.

00:33:03Now, the earliest logos

00:33:04can be traced back

00:33:05to ancient family crests.

00:33:07In the Middle Ages

00:33:08people with pubs

00:33:10and shops

00:33:10started using

00:33:11various symbols

00:33:12to present

00:33:13what they did

00:33:14and to distinguish

00:33:15themselves from others

00:33:16in their line of business.

00:33:18But why is it so important

00:33:20for a brand

00:33:21to have an impactful logo?

00:33:23Well, because

00:33:24first impressions count

00:33:25even for businesses.

00:33:27A well-crafted logo

00:33:28can send the right message

00:33:30to potential customers

00:33:31and help people learn more

00:33:33about your business

00:33:33at first glance.

00:33:35With so many logos

00:33:36to look at nowadays

00:33:38especially since

00:33:39the beginning of e-commerce

00:33:40it's easy

00:33:41to overlook

00:33:42the hidden meanings

00:33:43and symbols

00:33:44in everyday products.

00:33:46The Domino's pizza logo

00:33:48also says a lot

00:33:49about the company's past.

00:33:51As the name suggests

00:33:52there's a domino piece

00:33:54in the graphic design

00:33:55of the logo.

00:33:56The initial plan

00:33:57was to add another dot

00:33:58to the domino

00:33:59for each new location.

00:34:01But the company

00:34:02grew so big

00:34:03that adding dots

00:34:04for all the locations

00:34:05wasn't possible.

00:34:07So, those three dots

00:34:08we see today

00:34:09are there

00:34:10to remind customers

00:34:11of the three initial locations

00:34:13of the pizza chain.

00:34:14Now, when you look

00:34:15at the Beats logo

00:34:16the first thing

00:34:17that comes to mind

00:34:18is the letter B

00:34:19and rightly so.

00:34:21But there's a hidden meaning

00:34:22here as well.

00:34:23The red circle

00:34:24actually depicts

00:34:25a person's head

00:34:26while the white letter B

00:34:28also stands

00:34:29for a pair of headphones.

00:34:31Another very

00:34:32customer-oriented logo

00:34:34is that of the brand LG.

00:34:36The company designed

00:34:37its logo

00:34:38to include

00:34:38both the company's

00:34:39initial name

00:34:40Lucky Gold Star

00:34:41and the company's

00:34:42current slogan

00:34:43Life's Good.

00:34:44A careful look

00:34:45at their logo

00:34:46shows not only

00:34:47the letters L and G

00:34:49but also

00:34:49a smiley face.

00:34:51They may be one of

00:34:52the most famous

00:34:53jean manufacturers

00:34:54in the world

00:34:55but their brand identity

00:34:56also has some

00:34:58hidden meaning in it.

00:34:59The Levi's logo

00:35:00is designed

00:35:01in the shape of a pocket

00:35:02that can be found

00:35:03on each and every pair

00:35:04of the jeans

00:35:05they produce.

00:35:06The FedEx logo

00:35:07is also very cool.

00:35:09At first glance

00:35:10it looks like

00:35:10the words

00:35:11Fed and X

00:35:12written together

00:35:13in two contrasting colors

00:35:15purple and orange.

00:35:16But if you look closely

00:35:18between the letters

00:35:19E and X

00:35:19you'll notice

00:35:20that the negative space

00:35:22is in the shape

00:35:23of an arrow

00:35:23pointing to the right.

00:35:24It symbolizes

00:35:26movement and agility.

00:35:28The Unilever Group

00:35:29has a staggering number

00:35:30of brands

00:35:31all over the world

00:35:32more than 400.

00:35:34It's no surprise

00:35:35that their U-shaped logo

00:35:36is composed

00:35:37of many different symbols

00:35:38like a flower

00:35:39a spoon

00:35:40or a bird.

00:35:41It's done to showcase

00:35:42how many things

00:35:43they produce

00:35:44from food

00:35:45and refreshments

00:35:46to personal care

00:35:47and beauty products.

00:35:49NBC

00:35:50or the National

00:35:51Broadcasting Company

00:35:52is a broadcast

00:35:53and radio network

00:35:54with a logo

00:35:55that's very nice

00:35:56to look at.

00:35:57It's bright

00:35:58colorful

00:35:58and flashy.

00:35:59Why is that?

00:36:00Well

00:36:01because the network

00:36:02was created

00:36:02at about the same time

00:36:04color television

00:36:05started to gain momentum.

00:36:06The bird-shaped NBC logo

00:36:08symbolizes

00:36:09the initial six divisions

00:36:11of the network

00:36:11and the colors

00:36:12are also

00:36:13a nice reminder

00:36:14to customers

00:36:15that NBC

00:36:16is proud as a peacock

00:36:17of their programs.

00:36:20The Evernote logo

00:36:21is another of those designs

00:36:23that clearly shows

00:36:24the brand's

00:36:25overall purpose.

00:36:26While the font used

00:36:27is relatively simple,

00:36:29on the left

00:36:29of the word Evernote

00:36:30there's a depiction

00:36:32of an elephant.

00:36:33The animal

00:36:34is a well-known symbol

00:36:35of good memory.

00:36:36And the shape

00:36:37of its ear

00:36:37is curled

00:36:38like a post-it note.

00:36:39A cool touch

00:36:41for an app

00:36:41designed for organization

00:36:42and note-taking,

00:36:44wouldn't you say so?

00:36:45Now, the Cisco logo

00:36:47comes with its own

00:36:48little secret as well.

00:36:49The font

00:36:50is quite minimalistic,

00:36:51but the lines above

00:36:52are there to depict

00:36:54the Golden Gate Bridge

00:36:55in San Francisco.

00:36:56The first CEO

00:36:57of the company,

00:36:58a man named

00:36:59John Morgridge,

00:37:00thought this would be

00:37:01a great idea

00:37:02to emphasize

00:37:03moving toward the future

00:37:04and connecting

00:37:05two worlds.

00:37:06The Amazon logo

00:37:08is everywhere

00:37:09these days,

00:37:09but there's a small

00:37:11detail in there

00:37:12that most people

00:37:12probably miss.

00:37:14The arrow

00:37:15connecting the letters

00:37:16A and Z,

00:37:17the one in the shape

00:37:18of a smile,

00:37:19is there to point out

00:37:20that they have a complete

00:37:21inventory of products

00:37:22from A to Z.

00:37:25Audi is one of those

00:37:26brands that likes

00:37:27to showcase

00:37:28their history.

00:37:28Those four simple

00:37:30intertwining circles

00:37:31on the company's logo

00:37:32are a reminder

00:37:34of the four companies

00:37:35which were initially

00:37:36part of the conglomerate,

00:37:37DKW,

00:37:38Horsch,

00:37:39Wanderer,

00:37:40and Audi.

00:37:41There's a nice story

00:37:43behind the Baskin-Robbins

00:37:44logo as well.

00:37:45Between the letters

00:37:46B and R

00:37:47in the middle

00:37:48of the logo,

00:37:49you can notice

00:37:50the number 31.

00:37:51Why is that?

00:37:52Because the company

00:37:53has 31 original

00:37:55flavors of ice cream.

00:37:56I think I've

00:37:57darn near tried

00:37:58them all.

00:37:59A lot of companies

00:38:00out there

00:38:01like to give

00:38:01their logos

00:38:02a bit of a vintage touch,

00:38:04and Picasa

00:38:05is one of them.

00:38:06Before we had

00:38:07digital cameras

00:38:08and the perfect portrait

00:38:09was just a click away,

00:38:11analog cameras

00:38:12had a little thing

00:38:13called a shutter.

00:38:14That's a device

00:38:15that opens

00:38:15to let light

00:38:16pass through,

00:38:17exposing the film

00:38:18and creating a photograph.

00:38:20The Picasa logo

00:38:21is just that.

00:38:22A shutter

00:38:23nicely colored

00:38:24in red,

00:38:25blue,

00:38:25green,

00:38:26purple,

00:38:26and orange.

00:38:28The 7-11 logo

00:38:29has a nice twist

00:38:30that might not

00:38:31have caught your eye

00:38:31by now.

00:38:32The N

00:38:33at the end of the word

00:38:34is in lowercase,

00:38:35unlike the rest

00:38:36of the letters,

00:38:37which are in all caps.

00:38:39It's said that

00:38:39the company's

00:38:40president's wife,

00:38:41back in the 60s,

00:38:42wanted to make

00:38:43the company's logo

00:38:44look a bit less harsh.

00:38:46She believed

00:38:47that the uppercase font

00:38:48would be a bit too rigid.

00:38:50And she wanted

00:38:51to make the overall

00:38:52appearance of the logo

00:38:53more fluid.

00:38:54A graphic designer

00:38:55found a solution

00:38:56by switching

00:38:57to a lowercase n

00:38:58at the end

00:38:59of the word.

00:39:00So I'm guessing

00:39:01that when you pronounce it,

00:39:02you just throw away

00:39:03the lowercase n,

00:39:04like 7-11.

00:39:05Or not.

00:39:07Chocolate fans

00:39:08must know

00:39:08the Toblerone brand.

00:39:10If you're one of them,

00:39:11have you ever noticed

00:39:12all the intricate

00:39:13detailing in its logo?

00:39:14The city of Bern

00:39:16in Switzerland,

00:39:17where the company

00:39:17was founded,

00:39:18is also named

00:39:19the city of bears.

00:39:21When you visit

00:39:21this place,

00:39:22you'll see that

00:39:23there are bears

00:39:23everywhere,

00:39:24from the city's

00:39:25coat of arms

00:39:26to public trash cans.

00:39:27The Toblerone chocolate

00:39:29is shaped like a mountain,

00:39:30hence the mountain

00:39:31in the logo.

00:39:32But there's also

00:39:33a bear depicted there,

00:39:35hidden in the negative space.

00:39:37The Chick-fil-A logo

00:39:39is one of those

00:39:40that goes straight

00:39:40to the point

00:39:41with their imagery.

00:39:42The C stands

00:39:43for chicken,

00:39:44of course,

00:39:44but it's also

00:39:45shaped like a chicken

00:39:46if you look closely.

00:39:48Another great example

00:39:50of negative space

00:39:51used creatively

00:39:51is the Formula One logo.

00:39:54Between the F,

00:39:55which stands

00:39:55for the word formula,

00:39:57and the horizontal lines

00:39:58depicting red flames,

00:40:00the number one

00:40:01is intelligently hidden.

00:40:03Bet you didn't

00:40:03see that one.

00:40:05One of the greatest

00:40:06sportswear brands,

00:40:07Adidas,

00:40:08has a mystery

00:40:09of its own.

00:40:09At first glance,

00:40:11its logo is merely

00:40:12comprised of

00:40:13three vertical lines.

00:40:14Don't they look

00:40:15like a mountain to you?

00:40:16This mountain

00:40:17is there to symbolize

00:40:18the effort athletes

00:40:19have to make

00:40:20to reach the top,

00:40:21which is like,

00:40:22you know,

00:40:23climbing a mountain.

00:40:24The IBM logo

00:40:26has its own statement

00:40:27to make.

00:40:28The three letters

00:40:29of the company's name,

00:40:30I, B, and, uh, M,

00:40:32are designed

00:40:33to be the horizontal lines

00:40:35meant to symbolize

00:40:36speed and dynamism.

00:40:37This is one of the company's

00:40:39main values,

00:40:40which has always been

00:40:41important to the founders.

00:40:43With a cool logo

00:40:44to present to the world,

00:40:45Ray-Ban has become

00:40:46a household name

00:40:47for sunglasses.

00:40:48Just to make sure

00:40:49you don't miss

00:40:50what they actually do,

00:40:52the B in the logo

00:40:53is designed

00:40:53like a pair of shades.

00:40:55The worldwide

00:40:56internet source

00:40:57of information,

00:40:58Wikipedia,

00:40:59has a logo

00:40:59to match

00:41:00its brand identity.

00:41:01The globe

00:41:02is made of

00:41:03many puzzle pieces,

00:41:04each with a different

00:41:05symbol on it,

00:41:06and some missing pieces

00:41:07as well.

00:41:08It tells the story

00:41:09of the company's mission

00:41:10without a single word.

00:41:12That's a nice lesson

00:41:13in storytelling,

00:41:14don't you think?

00:41:15Subway is one of those

00:41:17brands that have

00:41:17a nice combination

00:41:18of the logo and name,

00:41:20meant to symbolize

00:41:22that you can have

00:41:22a delicious meal anytime.

00:41:24The pointing arrows

00:41:25on the letter S and Y

00:41:27look like the directions

00:41:29found at Subway Station.

00:41:31Now, there's no way

00:41:32you can miss

00:41:33the two pieces of chocolate

00:41:34in the Hershey Kizzes logo.

00:41:36But there's a third one

00:41:37hidden in there

00:41:38if you look closely.

00:41:40Have you seen it yet?

00:41:41It's hidden between

00:41:42the letters K and I.

00:41:44If you've ever

00:41:46redecorated a house

00:41:47or planned a wedding,

00:41:48you most likely

00:41:49use Pinterest

00:41:50to store and share ideas.

00:41:52The Pinterest logo

00:41:53looks like the letter P

00:41:54in a red circle.

00:41:56But look again.

00:41:57This P is shaped

00:41:59like a drawing pen.

00:42:00To the untrained eye,

00:42:02the logo of the

00:42:03London Symphony Orchestra

00:42:05looks like an eccentric

00:42:06red curved line.

00:42:07But in reality,

00:42:09it has a purpose

00:42:10of its own

00:42:11as it symbolizes

00:42:12a musical conductor.

00:42:14Another brand

00:42:15with hidden imagery

00:42:16in its logo

00:42:17is Magic Coffee.

00:42:18The cup of coffee

00:42:20on the top of the name

00:42:21is shaped like a top hat

00:42:22if you take a closer look.

00:42:24Okay,

00:42:25I'm ready for some food now.

00:42:28So get this.

00:42:30An extra hole

00:42:30at the upper part

00:42:31of the sink

00:42:32has multiple hidden functions.

00:42:34First,

00:42:34in case someone

00:42:35forgets to close the tap,

00:42:36the water won't overflow

00:42:37and the bathroom

00:42:38won't get flooded.

00:42:40Second,

00:42:40thanks to that hole,

00:42:41the water drains faster

00:42:42and it gives an escape

00:42:43for the air,

00:42:44helping the water flow down.

00:42:47Those two holes

00:42:48on a side

00:42:49of any Converse shoe

00:42:50are not only

00:42:51to let the stinky air out.

00:42:52Sure,

00:42:53breathability

00:42:53is important

00:42:54for any athlete.

00:42:55The second reason

00:42:56is that athletes

00:42:57lace through those holes

00:42:58to get a better grip.

00:43:02Donuts have a hole

00:43:03in the middle

00:43:03and it doesn't stand

00:43:04for O in donut.

00:43:06It's not designed

00:43:07for an easier grip either,

00:43:08though it can be

00:43:09quite convenient.

00:43:10It's actually made

00:43:11this way for mass baking

00:43:12so that they can cook

00:43:13all the way through evenly.

00:43:16Baby carrots are tiny

00:43:18and,

00:43:19unlike regular carrots,

00:43:20wet.

00:43:21Baby carrots

00:43:21aren't some special

00:43:22sort of carrots.

00:43:23They're actually made

00:43:24of regular carrots

00:43:25by cutting off the skin

00:43:26and outer layers

00:43:27and then polishing them

00:43:29to look that pretty.

00:43:30The problem

00:43:31is that they can't

00:43:31retain moisture.

00:43:32A regular carrot

00:43:34retains some water inside

00:43:35because of the layers

00:43:36that locks it in.

00:43:37Once they're chopped out,

00:43:38baby carrots

00:43:39can dry out easily,

00:43:40so they usually sell them

00:43:41in bags

00:43:42with some water inside.

00:43:44Toy stores

00:43:45are filled

00:43:46with Beanie Baby

00:43:47plush toys

00:43:47and a detail

00:43:48that is even more iconic

00:43:49than their huge eyes

00:43:50is their tags

00:43:51saying T.Y.

00:43:53That's a small

00:43:54manufacturing company

00:43:55not so many people

00:43:56have heard of.

00:43:57Beanie Babies

00:43:58appeared in 1910

00:43:591993

00:43:59and they went

00:44:00insanely popular.

00:44:01T.Y.

00:44:02is the name

00:44:03of the company

00:44:03but it's not

00:44:04an abbreviation.

00:44:05It's the actual name

00:44:06of the company's founder

00:44:07H. Ty Warner.

00:44:11Most metallic zippers

00:44:12have a hidden lock

00:44:13inside them

00:44:13to save you

00:44:14from awkward situations

00:44:15such as an undone fly.

00:44:17Oh boy.

00:44:19Don't leave the zipper handle

00:44:20in an upward position.

00:44:21When you pull it downwards,

00:44:23it automatically locks.

00:44:24It's all thanks

00:44:25to those tiny grooves

00:44:26hidden underneath the handle.

00:44:30Almost any public toilet

00:44:32has a large gap

00:44:33between the floor

00:44:33and the door.

00:44:34The reason for such

00:44:35a zero privacy thing

00:44:37is to actually minimize

00:44:38the level of privacy

00:44:39and comfort

00:44:40so that people

00:44:41wouldn't stay there long

00:44:41and there'd be no lines.

00:44:43It's also easier to clean

00:44:45and safer

00:44:46if some emergency occurs.

00:44:50Headrests in a car

00:44:51are about comfort

00:44:52and detachable headrests

00:44:53are about safety.

00:44:55If you pull the headrest

00:44:56out of a seat,

00:44:57you'll see two bars

00:44:58which are quite sturdy.

00:45:00If you ever get locked

00:45:01or trapped in a car,

00:45:02you can get out of there

00:45:03smashing the window

00:45:04with these bars.

00:45:08Many cups and mugs

00:45:10have little grooves

00:45:11on the bottom

00:45:11on purpose.

00:45:12They're designed

00:45:13for dishwashing machines.

00:45:14The grooves

00:45:15let the water flow

00:45:16and not spill over your feet

00:45:17when you take the cup out.

00:45:19Also,

00:45:19those grooves

00:45:20let the air flow

00:45:21so the cup doesn't crack

00:45:23even if the tea

00:45:24is scalding.

00:45:27Almost all measuring tapes

00:45:28have a metal tip

00:45:29with a small slot

00:45:30on the end.

00:45:31You can use this slot

00:45:32to hang the tape

00:45:33on a nail

00:45:33or a screw

00:45:34to make measurements

00:45:35without anyone's help.

00:45:38Sometimes,

00:45:38this tip has a row

00:45:39of sharp points

00:45:40along the edge

00:45:41on one side.

00:45:42That comes in handy

00:45:43when you want to leave a mark

00:45:44without using a pencil.

00:45:47Doorknobs are usually

00:45:48made of brass,

00:45:49bronze,

00:45:49and some other

00:45:50copper alloys

00:45:51for a reason.

00:45:52They have an antibacterial effect

00:45:54so they stop microbes

00:45:55from spreading.

00:45:57They get rid of a range

00:45:58of harmful germs

00:45:59pretty fast

00:46:00within a couple of hours.

00:46:01But don't forget

00:46:02to wash your hands anyway.

00:46:05Grocery carts

00:46:06have loops

00:46:07for a reason.

00:46:08You don't want to put

00:46:09your jacket in a cart

00:46:10next to potatoes and onions.

00:46:11Hang it on a loop.

00:46:13This little hook-like thing

00:46:15is there to help you

00:46:16better organize

00:46:16the space in your cart.

00:46:18The carts also have

00:46:20a super handy grid.

00:46:21Whenever the cart's full,

00:46:22you just need to lift the grid

00:46:24and attach the shopping basket

00:46:25for extra purchases.

00:46:27Placing it in between

00:46:28the horizontal bar

00:46:29above the wheels

00:46:29and the hooks the grid has.

00:46:33A point in an ointment cap

00:46:35is there for a reason too.

00:46:37Most tubes

00:46:37are usually sealed

00:46:38with foil

00:46:39and it's better

00:46:40to avoid opening it

00:46:41with fingers

00:46:41unless you're ready

00:46:42to say goodbye

00:46:43to your nails.

00:46:44A point easily opens

00:46:45even the most

00:46:46safely sealed tube.

00:46:50Silica gel

00:46:50can often be found

00:46:51in different things

00:46:52you buy

00:46:53like bags,

00:46:53shoes,

00:46:54and many others.

00:46:55Don't throw it away.

00:46:56It's meant to absorb

00:46:57excess moisture.

00:46:58So anytime your shoes

00:46:59are a bit wet,

00:47:01just throw in a packet

00:47:02with silica gel.

00:47:04People

00:47:05used to co-live

00:47:06with rats

00:47:07and these guys

00:47:08like gnawing on

00:47:08everything they see

00:47:09in their way,

00:47:10including paper.

00:47:12Still,

00:47:13rats weren't able

00:47:14to chew more than

00:47:14the space left

00:47:15on the margins.

00:47:18That black grate

00:47:19on a microwave

00:47:20isn't just

00:47:21some fancy decoration.

00:47:22It's called

00:47:23a Faraday shield

00:47:24and it prevents

00:47:25the rays

00:47:25from escaping

00:47:26the microwave.

00:47:27It also speeds

00:47:28up the heating

00:47:28so you can enjoy

00:47:29yesterday's leftovers

00:47:30faster.

00:47:31It may also

00:47:33block phone signals,

00:47:34so if you're tired

00:47:34of numerous calls,

00:47:35just put the phone

00:47:36into a microwave,

00:47:37but don't turn it on.

00:47:42All tic-tac containers

00:47:43are designed

00:47:44to dispense

00:47:45one tic-tac

00:47:46every time

00:47:46you open it.

00:47:47The lid has

00:47:48the same shape

00:47:48as the candy.

00:47:49Turn the container

00:47:50upside down,

00:47:51gently shake it

00:47:52and open it slowly.

00:47:53You'll notice

00:47:54only one candy

00:47:55stuck between

00:47:55those lid grooves.

00:47:56So if you just

00:47:57open the container

00:47:58and shake it

00:47:59until five or even

00:48:00more candies

00:48:00fall into your mouth,

00:48:01it means you've

00:48:02been eating

00:48:03tic-tacs wrong

00:48:03all this time.

00:48:09Those little holes

00:48:10in the airplane

00:48:10windows are designed

00:48:11to control

00:48:12the cabin pressure.

00:48:13They also protect

00:48:14the windows

00:48:14from fogging up

00:48:15as the temperatures

00:48:16drop and rise.

00:48:17By the way,

00:48:18the airplane window

00:48:19is round for a reason.

00:48:20This way,

00:48:21pressure is evenly

00:48:22distributed

00:48:22so it doesn't

00:48:23get deformed.

00:48:26Blue bristles

00:48:27on a toothbrush

00:48:28are actually an indicator

00:48:29that it's just about

00:48:30time to change the brush.

00:48:32As the bristles

00:48:33get in contact

00:48:33with water,

00:48:34the blue

00:48:34or whatever other,

00:48:35pigment fades away.

00:48:37So the more you use it,

00:48:38the duller the color becomes.

00:48:42A triple handle

00:48:43on a jerry can

00:48:44is there to make it easier

00:48:45for two people

00:48:45to carry it

00:48:46and distribute

00:48:46the fuel evenly.

00:48:48Gas cans often

00:48:49have a second hole

00:48:49that actually needs

00:48:50to be unkept too

00:48:51before you pour the gas.

00:48:53The air passage

00:48:54will prevent it

00:48:55from pouring out,

00:48:55so no more fuel waste.

00:48:59Jeans first appeared

00:49:00in 1873.

00:49:02They were invented

00:49:03by Jacob Davis

00:49:04and Levi Strauss.

00:49:06Davis was a tailor

00:49:07who was producing

00:49:08covers and tents

00:49:09and Strauss

00:49:10was a businessman

00:49:11who,

00:49:11among other things,

00:49:13was selling cloth.

00:49:14The first jeans

00:49:15were made by Davis

00:49:16from denim,

00:49:17the fabric he bought

00:49:18from Levi Strauss

00:49:19and co.

00:49:21Together,

00:49:21they patented

00:49:22the design.

00:49:23Blue was a standard

00:49:24color for denim

00:49:25that was dyed

00:49:26using an indigo dye.

00:49:27The blue color

00:49:28is a tradition

00:49:29that is still often

00:49:30followed today

00:49:31to replicate

00:49:31the original look

00:49:32of a pair of jeans.

00:49:33Jeans also have

00:49:35metal rivets

00:49:35and they've been there

00:49:36from the very beginning.

00:49:38Jacob Davis,

00:49:38the man who made

00:49:39the first pair of jeans,

00:49:40added copper rivets

00:49:42to spots where pants

00:49:43were more likely to rip,

00:49:44flies,

00:49:45and pockets

00:49:46to make them stronger.

00:49:47Today,

00:49:48they have more

00:49:48of a decorative purpose

00:49:49since they're distinctive

00:49:51and traditional for jeans.

00:49:54Another special thing

00:49:55about jeans

00:49:56is those tiny pockets

00:49:57they have

00:49:57that seemingly serve

00:49:58no purpose.

00:50:00Well,

00:50:00maybe it's true now,

00:50:01but years ago,

00:50:02when many cowboys

00:50:02were wearing jeans,

00:50:03the pocket was made

00:50:04specifically

00:50:05to keep a pocket watch there.

00:50:08Also,

00:50:08back then,

00:50:09a pair of jeans

00:50:10had just four pockets.

00:50:11That tiny pocket,

00:50:12the watch pocket,

00:50:13two big pockets in front,

00:50:14and just one pocket

00:50:16on the back.

00:50:19Many zippers

00:50:20have the letters

00:50:20YKK engraved on them.

00:50:22It's an abbreviation

00:50:24that stands for

00:50:25the name of the company

00:50:26that can be translated

00:50:27as Yoshida Manufacturing

00:50:29Shareholding Company.

00:50:30This Japanese company

00:50:32is the largest

00:50:32zipper manufacturer

00:50:33in the world,

00:50:34so they put their initials

00:50:35on all the zippers

00:50:36they produce.

00:50:37That's around

00:50:38half of the zippers

00:50:39in the world.

00:50:40And that's why

00:50:41you see their zippers

00:50:42more often

00:50:42than any other zippers.

00:50:45Those little white golf balls

00:50:47have dimples

00:50:47all over them.

00:50:48It turns out

00:50:49they aren't there

00:50:50just randomly.

00:50:50At first,

00:50:51golfers were playing

00:50:52with a smooth ball.

00:50:53With time,

00:50:54the ball would get

00:50:55all punched and damaged,

00:50:56but also,

00:50:57it would start

00:50:58to travel way further.

00:50:59The reason here

00:51:00is aerodynamics.

00:51:02Dimples allow the air

00:51:03to flow more smoothly

00:51:04around the ball,

00:51:05taking it further.

00:51:06So the idea was adopted

00:51:08and the balls

00:51:08got their dimples

00:51:09all around,

00:51:10allowing them

00:51:11to travel longer distances.

00:51:14You just spent the entire morning

00:51:16running errands

00:51:17up and down the street,

00:51:18and you finally stop

00:51:19to treat yourself

00:51:20to a cup of coffee.

00:51:22You enter the nearest coffee shop,

00:51:24place your order,

00:51:25and notice that,

00:51:26actually,

00:51:26you really need

00:51:27to use the bathroom.

00:51:28It's a regular-looking

00:51:30public one

00:51:30with multiple stalls.

00:51:32As you pick yours,

00:51:33the one in the middle,

00:51:34you get inside,

00:51:35and your mind

00:51:36starts to wander.

00:51:37Why on earth

00:51:39do bathroom doors

00:51:39have a half-inch gap

00:51:41between the door

00:51:41and the lock?

00:51:42And why on earth

00:51:43do they have a huge gap

00:51:45between the door

00:51:46and the floor?

00:51:47Can we have a drumroll

00:51:48for this moment, please?

00:51:50Well, my friend,

00:51:51there is not only

00:51:52one specific reason

00:51:53why public bathroom doors

00:51:54have so many gaps in them,

00:51:56but rather several.

00:51:58Public toilets

00:51:59are designed

00:51:59to make people spend

00:52:00as little time

00:52:01there as possible.

00:52:02You aren't supposed

00:52:03to feel comfortable

00:52:04or at home.

00:52:05So the design

00:52:06would have to reflect

00:52:07this notion.

00:52:08Here come the gaps.

00:52:10In some bathrooms,

00:52:11gaps are so big

00:52:12that users may even

00:52:14feel self-conscious

00:52:15about doing their business

00:52:16out of preoccupation

00:52:18that the rest of the people

00:52:19standing in line

00:52:20will see them.

00:52:21Then there's

00:52:22the matter of pricing.

00:52:23Making custom doors

00:52:24can be a heavy burden

00:52:26for the people

00:52:26building public toilets.

00:52:28This would mean

00:52:28understanding

00:52:29exact measurements

00:52:30so that doors

00:52:31would always fit

00:52:32the mold of the stalls

00:52:33it's supposed

00:52:34to be installed into.

00:52:35Now,

00:52:36not all the gaps

00:52:37in public bathrooms

00:52:38are necessarily

00:52:39the same size.

00:52:40They may vary,

00:52:42even if this variation

00:52:43is small

00:52:44and often unnoticeable.

00:52:45So,

00:52:46these gaps

00:52:46actually help

00:52:47to reduce

00:52:48the margins of errors

00:52:49and to turn production

00:52:50more cost-effective

00:52:51for the people

00:52:52financing them.

00:52:53In case

00:52:54a door comes wider

00:52:55or more narrow

00:52:56than it should,

00:52:57the gap regulates

00:52:58the differences

00:52:59and allows for

00:53:00their installation

00:53:00anyway.

00:53:02There is also

00:53:03the case of

00:53:03air circulation.

00:53:04The last thing

00:53:05you want to do

00:53:06in a public bathroom

00:53:07is to trap odors.

00:53:09So,

00:53:09you need a little space

00:53:10under and between

00:53:11the doors

00:53:12to allow the air

00:53:13to flow.

00:53:14Finally,

00:53:15the gaps

00:53:15are a big safety measure.

00:53:17It can always allow

00:53:17for people

00:53:18on the outside

00:53:19to see if someone

00:53:20inside a stall

00:53:21isn't feeling too okay

00:53:22and maybe

00:53:23needs some help.

00:53:24And,

00:53:25what about that

00:53:26extra hole

00:53:27in the upper part

00:53:27of the sink?

00:53:28It has a name

00:53:29in everything.

00:53:30The overflow hole.

00:53:31And it's designed

00:53:32to keep the sink

00:53:33from flooding.

00:53:34So,

00:53:35in case someone

00:53:35forgets

00:53:36and keeps the faucet

00:53:37going for too long

00:53:38or the sink

00:53:39gets clogged

00:53:40and water

00:53:40can't drain down

00:53:41from the main drain hole,

00:53:43the overflow hole

00:53:44comes in

00:53:44to save the day.

00:53:46Let's say

00:53:46it buys you

00:53:47a little time

00:53:47before you have

00:53:48the entire bathroom

00:53:49floor flooded.

00:53:50Have you ever

00:53:51noticed how

00:53:52satisfying

00:53:52closing the door

00:53:54of a car can be?

00:53:55Car manufacturers

00:53:56devote a great deal

00:53:57of time

00:53:58to designing

00:53:58these sounds.

00:53:59Studies have shown

00:54:00that they create

00:54:01a perceived sense

00:54:02of quality

00:54:03in the buyer.

00:54:03It all begins

00:54:05with the primary material.

00:54:06While older cars

00:54:07used to be made

00:54:08with heavier materials,

00:54:10car doors nowadays

00:54:11are produced

00:54:12with lighter tin,

00:54:13which can make

00:54:14a rather unpleasant

00:54:15metallic sound

00:54:16once you shut

00:54:16them closed.

00:54:17So,

00:54:18car companies

00:54:18employ sound engineers

00:54:20to ensure

00:54:20that there is

00:54:21the exact amount

00:54:22of foam,

00:54:23mats,

00:54:23and tin

00:54:24in a car's composition

00:54:25to make the most

00:54:26comforting sound possible.

00:54:28And,

00:54:28what about

00:54:29those tiny dots

00:54:30on the top

00:54:31of your car's

00:54:31front window?

00:54:32The pattern

00:54:33of these little

00:54:34black dots

00:54:34minimizes distractions

00:54:36for your eyes.

00:54:37This black part,

00:54:38also known as frit,

00:54:40normally gets warmer

00:54:41than the clear parts,

00:54:42which prevents

00:54:42the windshield

00:54:43from deforming.

00:54:44And no,

00:54:45the tab under

00:54:46your rearview mirror

00:54:47is not made only

00:54:48for the purpose

00:54:49of hanging

00:54:49fluffy dice

00:54:50or aromatic-pleasing

00:54:52air fresheners.

00:54:53It's actually a switch

00:54:54that allows you

00:54:55to adjust the position

00:54:56of the mirror

00:54:56depending on the time

00:54:57of day.

00:54:58Flip it one way,

00:54:59and it's the

00:55:00daytime driving mode.

00:55:01Flip the other,

00:55:02and you're ready

00:55:03to drive safely

00:55:04during nighttime

00:55:05as it tones down

00:55:06the glare coming

00:55:07from headlights

00:55:07of the cars

00:55:08behind you.

00:55:09Next time you head

00:55:10out to the supermarket,

00:55:12make sure to keep

00:55:12this in mind.

00:55:13In case you don't

00:55:14have a coin

00:55:15to unlock

00:55:15these shopping carts,

00:55:16there is a well-kept

00:55:17secret that can

00:55:18help you out.

00:55:19If you have

00:55:20your house keys

00:55:21on you,

00:55:22check for a rounded

00:55:23key head.

00:55:23If you happen

00:55:24to find one,

00:55:25try using it

00:55:26to unlock the cart.

00:55:27It should fit

00:55:28perfectly in there,

00:55:29replacing the need

00:55:30to carry coins around.

00:55:31Because,

00:55:32if we're being honest,

00:55:33who still has them?

00:55:35Elevators.

00:55:36If you want to ride

00:55:36them on your terms

00:55:37and your terms only,

00:55:39make sure to try

00:55:40something out.

00:55:41Most elevators

00:55:42have a secret

00:55:42button combination

00:55:43you can use

00:55:44to skip all

00:55:45the other selected floors

00:55:46and go directly

00:55:47to the one

00:55:48of your choosing.

00:55:49This might work out,

00:55:50especially on those days

00:55:51when you've pressed 13.

00:55:53But you wanted

00:55:54to press 33.

00:55:55On most elevators,

00:55:57this works once you

00:55:57simultaneously press

00:55:59the closed door button

00:56:00together with your

00:56:01floor number.

00:56:02This should help you

00:56:03get to your floor

00:56:03without stopping.

00:56:05Some elevators

00:56:06require you to

00:56:07double-press the

00:56:08selected floor numbers,

00:56:09as double-pressing

00:56:10will often cancel

00:56:11the previously made

00:56:12request.

00:56:13While other elevators

00:56:14require you to

00:56:15hold the open door

00:56:16button and then

00:56:17double-press the buttons

00:56:18of the floors

00:56:19you'd like to cancel.

00:56:20Now,

00:56:21to stay out of trouble,

00:56:22it's best not to

00:56:23cancel the floors

00:56:24of the other people

00:56:25in the elevator.

00:56:26They won't take it kindly.

00:56:28Also,

00:56:28keep in mind that

00:56:29there are elevators

00:56:30that might not

00:56:30have this function.

00:56:31Now,

00:56:32for honey lovers

00:56:33out there,

00:56:34go ahead and

00:56:34raise your hand.

00:56:35If your pot of

00:56:36golden honey

00:56:37is crystallized,

00:56:38know that it is

00:56:39actually a good sign.

00:56:41Crystallized honey

00:56:42means that it

00:56:43hasn't been pasteurized,

00:56:44which means

00:56:45better product quality.

00:56:46With a decrease

00:56:47in temperature,

00:56:48the natural ingredient

00:56:49of honey,

00:56:50also known as

00:56:51glucose,

00:56:52will make it

00:56:52crystallize.

00:56:53Now,

00:56:54try making

00:56:54the best of it.

00:56:55To add some texture

00:56:56to your oatmeal

00:56:57or toast,

00:56:58add a layer

00:56:58of crystallized honey

00:57:00and enjoy

00:57:00nature's sugar.

00:57:01And if you don't

00:57:02like crystallized honey,

00:57:04plop it in the microwave

00:57:05for a minute or two.

00:57:06Ah,

00:57:07winter and fall.

00:57:08You know what this means,

00:57:09right?

00:57:10Sweater weather.

00:57:11But there's nothing

00:57:12more annoying

00:57:13than wearing

00:57:13your beautiful

00:57:14wool sweater

00:57:15and itching yourself

00:57:16all the way

00:57:17through it.

00:57:18Actually,

00:57:19I can be more

00:57:19annoying than that,

00:57:20but let's talk

00:57:21about itchy sweaters.

00:57:22To keep this

00:57:23from happening again,

00:57:24here's the secret.

00:57:25Turn your sweater

00:57:26inside out

00:57:27and soak it

00:57:28in cold water.

00:57:29Add two or three

00:57:30tablespoons of vinegar

00:57:31and let it sit

00:57:32for a while.

00:57:33Then,

00:57:34drain the water.

00:57:34Now,

00:57:35while the sweater

00:57:36is still wet,

00:57:37massage a generous

00:57:38amount of hair conditioner

00:57:39into the fibers

00:57:40of the wool.

00:57:41After letting it soak

00:57:42in the hair conditioner

00:57:43for about 30 minutes,

00:57:45gently press the excess

00:57:46water out of the wool

00:57:47and leave it to dry

00:57:49flat on a towel.

00:57:50There you go!

00:57:51No more itchy sweater.

00:57:53Any fast food restaurant

00:57:55you go to

00:57:55will hand out

00:57:56small paper cups

00:57:57for customers

00:57:58to fill with their

00:57:59ketchup, mustard,

00:58:00or barbecue sauce.

00:58:01But if you're eating

00:58:02some chicken nuggets

00:58:03or trying to dip

00:58:04your burger

00:58:05into the cup,

00:58:06there's always

00:58:06that bit of sauce

00:58:07that seems impossible

00:58:09to reach.

00:58:10Next time,

00:58:11try unfolding the cup.

00:58:12It'll turn into

00:58:13a small paper plate,

00:58:15and this way,

00:58:15you'll get all the ketchup

00:58:17you poured

00:58:17in the first place.

00:58:19Padlocks used

00:58:20in outdoor environments

00:58:21should be clean

00:58:22and lubricated

00:58:23every three months.

00:58:25Regular lubrication

00:58:26will help prevent

00:58:27padlocks from freezing

00:58:28in cold weather conditions.

00:58:30Look for the tiny hole

00:58:31on the bottom of the lock,

00:58:32then pour oil into it,

00:58:34and there you go!

00:58:35It opens again!

00:58:37One thing we often neglect

00:58:39is a point

00:58:40in an ointment cap.

00:58:41These pointy surfaces

00:58:43were designed

00:58:43to help us break

00:58:44the tinfoil protection

00:58:45of the ointment tube.

00:58:46You just turn the cap over

00:58:48and break the ointment seal

00:58:50with its own cap,

00:58:51and there you go!

00:58:53After a long day of work,

00:58:55all you really need to do

00:58:56is a bubble bath.

00:58:57You turn on the hot water

00:58:59and let it run

00:58:59for a few minutes.

00:59:00You might even light a candle

00:59:02and pour some essential oils

00:59:04into the water.

00:59:05Then,

00:59:05in comes the liquid soap.

00:59:07You stir the water

00:59:09until the entire surface

00:59:10of the tub water

00:59:11is crammed with bubbles

00:59:12and make your way in.

00:59:14The bubbles in a bubble bath

00:59:15have a fundamental

00:59:16primary function.

00:59:18Their job

00:59:18is to preserve

00:59:19the water's temperature

00:59:20just so you can have

00:59:22warm water for longer.

00:59:24Do you have sweaty feet?

00:59:25Weird question,

00:59:26I know.

00:59:27But if you're one

00:59:28of these people,

00:59:29here's some good news.

00:59:30All is not lost.

00:59:32Try putting a dry teabag

00:59:34inside your shoes

00:59:35and storing it

00:59:36in a dry place

00:59:37for a while.

00:59:37The teabags

00:59:38will absorb the humidity

00:59:39and the smell

00:59:40off the soles

00:59:41of your shoes.

00:59:42So,

00:59:43here I am thinking,

00:59:44shouldn't we have learned

00:59:45these things in school?

00:59:46Well,

00:59:47either way,

00:59:48if you learned

00:59:48something new today,

00:59:49make sure to tell us

00:59:50about it

00:59:51in the comments below.
