00:00:00Are you ready for a spicy adventure? Let's talk cinnamon.
00:00:04It's a cool spice that most of us sprinkle on our oatmeal, toast, and apple pies.
00:00:10But did you know that some sneaky sellers out there are trying to sell us fake cinnamon?
00:00:16So, how can you spot the imposter?
00:00:18Well, the real deal is called Siouxland cinnamon, while the fake stuff is usually cassia cinnamon.
00:00:25One way to tell is by looking at the cinnamon sticks themselves.
00:00:30Real cinnamon is lighter in color and has a thinner, more delicate bark.
00:00:34The fake stuff, on the other hand, is darker and thicker.
00:00:38But don't worry, you don't have to be a cinnamon connoisseur to enjoy the real deal.
00:00:42Just make sure to read the label and look for Siouxland cinnamon.
00:00:46Your taste buds will thank you.
00:00:49Is white chocolate real or just an imposter?
00:00:52Well, it's time to settle this sweet debate once and for all.
00:00:56Some people say it's not even chocolate because it doesn't contain cocoa solids.
00:01:02But let's not judge a book by its cover or chocolate by its color, right?
00:01:07Technically, white chocolate is made from cocoa butter, milk, and sugar, which makes it a distant cousin to the darker
00:01:14cocoa solid packed chocolate varieties.
00:01:16But hey, if you ask me, family is family, even if they don't look or taste the same.
00:01:23And don't let anyone tell you white chocolate isn't delicious, because it absolutely is.
00:01:29Its smooth, creamy texture and sweet, buttery flavor make it a delightful treat on its own.
00:01:34Or in baked goods like cookies and cakes.
00:01:37So, whether you consider white chocolate to be real chocolate or not, let's just agree that it's a yummy indulgence
00:01:44that we can all enjoy.
00:01:47Are French fries truly French?
00:01:50Hold on to your potatoes, because it turns out that the origins of this snack are a bit more complicated
00:01:55than you might think.
00:01:56While it's true that French cuisine has given us some of the world's most delicious dishes, including escargot and cocavun,
00:02:05the origins of French fries are actually traced back to Belgium.
00:02:10That's right, our crispy little friends were first cooked up in the land of waffles and chocolate.
00:02:16But here's where things get even more interesting.
00:02:19The reason they're called French fries is actually because of the way they're prepared, not because of their country of
00:02:25origin.
00:02:26You see, the term French in this context refers to the technique of slicing the potatoes into long, thin strips,
00:02:33known as julienne cut.
00:02:35This technique was popularized in France in the 18th century, which is how the name French fries came to be.
00:02:43Want to add some egg rolls to this order?
00:02:46I mean, sure, they're delicious and all, but what's with all the fuss around this dish?
00:02:51First of all, let's talk about the egg part.
00:02:54Despite their name, egg rolls don't contain any eggs.
00:02:58Instead, the egg part comes from the thin, crepe-like wrapper that's made with eggs.
00:03:03It's like a little egg blanket that keeps all the tasty ingredients snuggled up inside.
00:03:08But what about the filling, you ask?
00:03:10Well, that's where things get interesting.
00:03:13Egg rolls can be filled with just about anything your heart desires.
00:03:17Veggies, meat, seafood, you name it.
00:03:20Some people even like to throw in a little cheese or rice for good measure.
00:03:25Now, here's where it gets a little weird.
00:03:28There's a bit of a debate in the egg roll world about whether they should be fried or baked.
00:03:33I say go for the fried version.
00:03:35There's just something about that crispy golden brown shell that can't be beaten.
00:03:41You might need to sit down for this one.
00:03:44Strawberries aren't berries, but bananas are.
00:03:48Mind blown yet?
00:03:49Here's the deal.
00:03:50A berry is defined as a fleshy fruit produced from a single type of cell.
00:03:55And guess what?
00:03:56Bananas fit the bill perfectly.
00:03:58They might not be as juicy as a watermelon or as tart as a raspberry, but they're berries.
00:04:05We might call them koala bears, but we couldn't be more wrong.
00:04:10Koalas aren't bears.
00:04:11These cute and cuddly critters are marsupials, which means they carry their little ones in a pouch.
00:04:17And while they may look a little bit like teddy bears, they aren't related to them.
00:04:22But hey, we can't blame people for thinking koalas are bears.
00:04:26After all, they do have that fluffy fur and round ears that make them look like they're ready for a
00:04:31hug.
00:04:32But koalas are their own unique species.
00:04:35They have all these amazing features that make them special.
00:04:39Like their eucalyptus diet and their ability to sleep for up to 22 hours a day.
00:04:45Seriously, how do they do that?
00:04:48In case you didn't know the history of the Boston cream pie, you're in for a surprise.
00:04:53First off, let's just get one thing straight.
00:04:56Boston cream pie is not a pie.
00:04:58I know, I know, it's in the name, but trust me on this one.
00:05:02It's a delicious cake filled with creamy custard and topped with a luscious chocolate glaze.
00:05:09Now, you might be thinking, why is it called a Boston cream pie then?
00:05:14Well, legend has it that it was invented by a chef at the Parker House Hotel in Boston way back
00:05:20in 1856.
00:05:22The chef, who apparently had a sense of humor, decided to call it a pie just to mess with people.
00:05:28And, well, the name just stuck.
00:05:32But let's not forget about the real star of this dessert, the custard filling.
00:05:37Smooth, creamy, and just the right amount of sweetness.
00:05:40It's what makes this cake stand out.
00:05:43And that chocolate glaze on top, it's like the icing on the cake.
00:05:47Literally.
00:05:49Is a peanut a nut?
00:05:51It sounds like a silly question, but you'd be surprised how many people get confused about this.
00:05:57So, let's clear it up once and for all.
00:06:00Peanuts are legumes.
00:06:01That's right, they're in the same family as beans and lentils.
00:06:05But don't worry, we won't hold it against them.
00:06:08After all, they're still delicious and nutritious snacks.
00:06:12But here's where it gets really interesting.
00:06:14Even though peanuts aren't technically nuts, they can still cause nut allergies.
00:06:20That's because they contain similar proteins to tree nuts, like almonds and walnuts.
00:06:26So, if you have a nut allergy, you'll want to be careful around peanuts too.
00:06:32Have you ever found yourself using the term tinfoil to refer to aluminum foil?
00:06:37You're not alone.
00:06:38A lot of people use the two interchangeably.
00:06:41But why is that?
00:06:43Years ago, aluminum foil was made of tin.
00:06:46Back in the late 1800s, before aluminum was cheap and abundant, people used tinfoil to wrap up their food and
00:06:54keep it fresh.
00:06:55But when aluminum foil came along, it quickly became the more popular choice because it was cheaper and easier to
00:07:02produce.
00:07:06Some think it's because aluminum foil was first marketed as tinfoil and the name just stuck with most people.
00:07:14Others think it's because the two materials have similar properties, so people started using the two terms interchangeably.
00:07:20But whatever the reason, one thing is for sure, tinfoil just sounds cooler than aluminum foil.
00:07:28You might be surprised to know that your trusty Pyrex dishes aren't Pyrex at all.
00:07:34Now, don't get me wrong, the knockoff still gets the job done, but it's just not the same.
00:07:39Be sure to check the label on your glassware before you go around thinking you're buying good stuff.
00:07:45Here's a cheat sheet to help you figure out what kind of container you have in your cupboard.
00:07:50If you see Pyrex with a lowercase p on a dish, that means it's not safe for the oven or
00:07:56microwave.
00:07:57It's most likely made of soda-lime glass.
00:08:00Stick to using these containers for food storage.
00:08:03On the other hand, if you see Pyrex in all caps, you're in luck.
00:08:08This cookware is made of a special type of glass and can be heated in the oven or microwave.
00:08:14Just don't pop it under the broiler.
00:08:16Things could get messy.
00:08:18And if you're taking your Pyrex from the fridge to the oven,
00:08:21be sure to let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to avoid any glass fractures.
00:08:28So, Alexander the Great, one of the most famous figures in ancient history,
00:08:32was apparently a big fan of one summer treat beloved by many to this day.
00:08:38Marco Polo, the Italian explorer and writer,
00:08:40is said to have brought back from Asia a recipe resembling sorbet,
00:08:45a frozen dessert made by mixing sugar-sweetened water with different types of flavoring.
00:08:50This dessert, which was later named cream ice,
00:08:54was a frequent treat at the court of Charles I of England in the 17th century.
00:08:59In France, it was Catherine de' Medici who introduced the beloved frozen dessert
00:09:03soon after she married Henry II.
00:09:05The frozen treat became available for the general public somewhere in the 1660s,
00:09:11when a Sicilian man blended milk, cream, butter, and eggs at Café Procope,
00:09:16the first known café in Paris.
00:09:18Thomas Jefferson himself had a preferred recipe for ice cream,
00:09:22which took a staggering 18 steps to complete.
00:09:25Ice cream has become so important in popular culture
00:09:28that it even has its own laws and regulations to accompany it
00:09:32to make sure ice cream is always produced with its certain levels of quality.
00:09:37Not every frozen dessert you see out there is, in fact, ice cream.
00:09:41To be commercialized under this name,
00:09:44the Icy Delight needs to contain a minimum of 10% dairy milk fat
00:09:48and mustn't weigh less than 4.5 pounds per gallon.
00:09:52Genuine ice cream doesn't actually need to be too fluffy.
00:09:55In technical terms, that means it must have no more than 100% overrun.
00:10:01So, to get to that specific texture we've all come to know and love,
00:10:05the ice cream base needs to be sufficiently whipped,
00:10:09but only to a certain percentage.
00:10:11Specifically, for every gallon of ice cream base,
00:10:14the end products must not exceed 2 gallons after whipping.
00:10:17Your favorite summer dessert can yet again be broken down
00:10:21into many other subcategories, like reduced-fat ice cream,
00:10:25low-fat ice cream, or non-fat ice cream,
00:10:28based on, what do you think, fat percentage.
00:10:31To have a solid idea of what you're ordering each time,
00:10:34it's best to look at the nutritional information of each product.
00:10:38One interesting type of frozen dessert is gelato.
00:10:41Although it literally translates to ice cream in Italian,
00:10:45there are differences between the two, again,
00:10:48based on regulations on milk fat content.
00:10:51Gelato normally has less milk fat than ice cream officially should have,
00:10:55but since it has a low overrun, about 20-30%,
00:10:59the end result is still dense and rich in texture.
00:11:02The Italians also mention that gelato
00:11:05shouldn't have less than 3.5% of fat.
00:11:08If this doesn't seem complicated enough,
00:11:11the French also bring their own twist to the dessert.
00:11:14French ice cream, also known as frozen custard,
00:11:18apart from the standard ingredients,
00:11:20also needs to have eggs added to the mixture,
00:11:22with no less than 1.4% egg yolk.
00:11:25You've probably mislabeled many other food items,
00:11:28like, say, raspberries,
00:11:30as they're actually a member of the rose family,
00:11:32along with cherries, apricots, plums, pears,
00:11:35apples, peaches, or blackberries.
00:11:37They are added to this category based on their flowers.
00:11:41They bloom in five equal petals arranged around a central core.
00:11:46Bananas are considered berries,
00:11:47while strawberries aren't,
00:11:49since they belong to the same rose family.
00:11:52We also share about 50% of our DNA with bananas,
00:11:55which explains why both bananas and certain attractive people
00:11:59can both have appeal.
00:12:01Another common misconception,
00:12:04white chocolate isn't actually chocolate,
00:12:06since it doesn't contain any chocolate solids.
00:12:09It's made only from a mixture of sugar,
00:12:11milk products, vanilla, lecithin, and cocoa butter.
00:12:15Parents all over the world
00:12:17don't try to convince their kids to eat broccoli for no reason.
00:12:20On a calorie-by-calorie basis,
00:12:22it turns out that broccoli has nearly as much protein in it as a steak.
00:12:26Now, I'm not convinced parents actually know that,
00:12:29but given the low-fat content,
00:12:31broccoli has many other health benefits as opposed to meat.
00:12:35We now see it as the mandatory companion for fries,
00:12:38but at some point in time,
00:12:40ketchup was actually considered to have healing properties.
00:12:44In the 1880s,
00:12:45a doctor based in Ohio
00:12:47indicated that tomatoes could help treat digestive issues,
00:12:50publishing a ketchup-like formula
00:12:52that was later transformed into a pill.
00:12:55Hey, you want to have a pill with those fries?
00:12:57Speaking of French fries,
00:12:59it turns out one of the most popular side dishes in the world
00:13:02isn't actually French.
00:13:04Potatoes served this way actually originated in Belgium,
00:13:07but they're called that because of how they're cut,
00:13:10and maybe also because the name Brussels sprouts was already taken.
00:13:15I'm almost certain there's a jar of peanut butter somewhere in your cupboard,
00:13:19but I'll bet you didn't know how valuable it actually was,
00:13:23and I'm not talking about peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
00:13:26Studies have shown that Americans go through enough peanut butter
00:13:30to coat the floor of the Grand Canyon each year.
00:13:33Just to be a bit more precise here,
00:13:35that's about 500 million pounds.
00:13:37Hey, if somebody did that on YouTube, I'd watch.
00:13:40The pink coloring of salmon isn't always like that by default.
00:13:45Wild salmon is pink due to a large amount of shrimp they consume natively.
00:13:50Farm-raised salmon, however, is generally white,
00:13:52so producers need to add plant-based pigments to get that light pink hue.
00:13:57Carrots weren't originally orange either.
00:14:00The red-yellow tint we are now familiar with
00:14:02comes from a genetic mutation of the well-known vegetable
00:14:06that occurred somewhere in the 16th century.
00:14:09Carrots were initially white or purple.
00:14:12Just like you add ketchup to the side of fries,
00:14:15you're most likely having a dab of wasabi with every plate of sushi.
00:14:18Well, it's most certainly dyed horseradish.
00:14:21The Japanese alternative to horseradish is quite expensive.
00:14:25That's why 99% of restaurants in the U.S.
00:14:29actually use regular horseradish instead.
00:14:32You may see them packed together in the supermarket,
00:14:34but red, green, and yellow peppers aren't actually the same vegetable.
00:14:39You'd need different types of seeds to be able to grow them individually
00:14:42as they're each their own type of plant species.
00:14:45Did you know one in four hazelnuts ends up in a Nutella jar?
00:14:50The creamy spread is so popular that scientists are looking into ways
00:14:54to grow hazelnuts in labs to counteract the global shortage.
00:14:58That's something to think about when you ask for an extra topic.
00:15:01Sure, there's an expiration date on each bottle of water,
00:15:05but the water itself doesn't actually expire.
00:15:07The date mentioned there is, in fact, for the bottle itself,
00:15:11since the plastic can eventually leak harmful substances into the water.
00:15:15Ever wondered why airplane food sometimes tastes bland?
00:15:19The chef may not always be to blame.
00:15:22The altitude you're flying at has some effects on your body chemistry,
00:15:26making you taste things differently.
00:15:28You've added it to a salad at least once,
00:15:31but you may be surprised to know that cilantro and coriander
00:15:35are not, in fact, the same thing.
00:15:37Coriander is what the dried seeds are called,
00:15:40while the leaves and the stems go by cilantro.
00:15:43So now you know.
00:15:45For all the fruit lovers out there,
00:15:47scientists came up with a fruit salad tree.
00:15:49Yep, that's right,
00:15:50a tree that can grow different types of fruit at the same time.
00:15:54They were developed in Australia
00:15:56and can support up to six different types of fruit.
00:15:59There's a stone fruit variation that features peaches, plums,
00:16:03nectarines, apricots, and peach cots,
00:16:06and a citrus variation for those who prefer lemons,
00:16:09limes, mandarins, oranges,
00:16:11or even tangellos, pomelos, and grapefruits.
00:16:14You most likely avoid it because it can give you bad breath,
00:16:18but garlic is considered one of the most nutrient-dense foods out there.
00:16:22A single clove of garlic can contain 2% of your vitamin B6 the whole day.
00:16:28Studies have shown that the chemical that gives garlic its distinctive flavor,
00:16:32called allicin, is good for your health.
00:16:34The only type of food that never spoils when stored properly is honey,
00:16:39or at least the only one we've discovered so far.
00:16:42That's because it contains a high amount of sugar
00:16:45and has a low moisture content.
00:16:47An enzyme created by bees also helps do the trick,
00:16:51as it can suppress any bacterial growth.
00:16:53Of course, if you store your honey the wrong way
00:16:56and expose it to additional moisture, it can go bad.
00:16:59But honey that is sealed and stored correctly
00:17:01technically has no expiration date.
00:17:04Now, if you're just starting out with your cooking skills,
00:17:07you'll be pleased to know mushrooms can't be overcooked.
00:17:10That's because they contain a polymer called chitin.
00:17:13This chemical allows them to remain tender
00:17:16even if you cook them from a few minutes to up to an hour.
00:17:20Hey, just add some butter and garlic.
00:17:22Nobody will ever know.
00:17:23Road and construction workers are usually dressed in orange
00:17:27because the bright orange hue is visible even in bad weather.
00:17:30It's the most effective color to attract attention and alert people.
00:17:34No wonder lots of safety jackets and traffic cones are orange as well.
00:17:38The stop sign has an eight-sided shape
00:17:40to help drivers recognize it easily,
00:17:43even if they see it from the back.
00:17:44And when the signs weren't reflective yet,
00:17:46the octagon shape prevented drivers from confusing the stop sign
00:17:50with any other at night.
00:17:52The rumble strips on the side of the road
00:17:54are placed there to alert drivers who doze off behind the wheel.
00:17:58When their tires move over these strips,
00:18:00the noise and vibration work like an alarm clock.
00:18:03There are magnetic locks on fuel hoses at gas stations.
00:18:07They come in handy if someone drives away with the gas nozzle
00:18:10still attached to their car.
00:18:11In this case, the lock detaches the hose automatically.
00:18:15Oh, that's embarrassing.
00:18:17Gasoline looks like a rainbow in a puddle
00:18:19because it can't mix with water.
00:18:20It forms a thin membrane over it.
00:18:23When light reflects from it
00:18:25and the water at the same time,
00:18:27you've got a rainbow.
00:18:28A triple handle on a jerry can
00:18:31is there to make it easier for two people to carry it
00:18:33and distribute fuel evenly.
00:18:35Gas cans often have a second hole
00:18:37that actually needs to be uncapped too
00:18:39before you pour the gas.
00:18:41The air passage will prevent it from pouring out,
00:18:44so no more fuel waste.
00:18:46Most gas cans have two holes with caps,
00:18:49a bigger and a smaller one.
00:18:51You're supposed to uncap the smaller hole
00:18:53before pouring gas inside the bigger one.
00:18:55It'll prevent the liquid from glugging
00:18:57and spilling all over your clothes and the ground.
00:19:00Another little thingy we often neglect
00:19:02is a point on an ointment cap.
00:19:04Most tubes are usually sealed with a plastic film or a foil,
00:19:08and opening it with your fingernails
00:19:10isn't the best idea.
00:19:11A point easily opens even the most safely sealed tube.
00:19:16You can use most screwdrivers together with a wrench
00:19:19to create more torque.
00:19:21Just place the wrench over the handle of the screwdriver.
00:19:24This way, you'll need to apply a lot less force than before.
00:19:28You'll also be able to get to hard-to-reach areas more easily.
00:19:32They install cameras in shops, banks, and hospitals
00:19:35to monitor everything.
00:19:37If something happens,
00:19:38you can call the police or rescuers.
00:19:40The camera really helps to solve a lot of problems.
00:19:46The crew keep order on the plane,
00:19:48but they won't be able to do anything
00:19:50if something serious happens.
00:19:52Besides, there's nowhere to run on the plane.
00:19:55During the flight, the cameras are useless,
00:19:57and after the flight,
00:19:59the words of the passengers work ideally instead of cameras.
00:20:02So, if cameras do no good,
00:20:04then why spend money on them?
00:20:07Water is great at cleaning stuff
00:20:08because it has triangular molecules.
00:20:10They're made of one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms,
00:20:14um, H2O?
00:20:15Such molecules have slightly different charges
00:20:18on their opposite sides,
00:20:19pretty much like magnets.
00:20:21That's why water easily sticks to other molecules,
00:20:23including those that make up dirt.
00:20:26Lots of private houses have triangular-shaped roofs
00:20:28because this allows rain, snow,
00:20:31and fallen leaves to slide off the slope.
00:20:33If all this stuff piled up on top of your house,
00:20:36one day, your roof would collapse.
00:20:39When a storm is coming,
00:20:40clouds seem to turn dark,
00:20:42but it's just an illusion.
00:20:44Thin clouds on a sunny day
00:20:45let the light through easily.
00:20:47They also scatter all the colors of the light spectrum.
00:20:50This makes us perceive the clouds as white,
00:20:53but the thicker the clouds are
00:20:54and the more water droplets they contain,
00:20:56the less light they let through
00:20:58and the darker they look.
00:21:00A good doorknob is the one made of brass,
00:21:03bronze, or some copper alloys.
00:21:06These metals have an anti-germ effect.
00:21:08Bacteria spread way slower on them.
00:21:11They also get rid of germs pretty fast,
00:21:14within a couple of hours.
00:21:15Nope, it doesn't mean you don't have to wash your hands.
00:21:19Diamonds have such symmetrical shape
00:21:21to show you their brilliance.
00:21:22Initially, the gems aren't so beautiful.
00:21:25They go through several stages of cutting
00:21:27and then become pieces of elegance.
00:21:29Most of these stones have a round shape
00:21:32with slightly pointed corners.
00:21:34Diamonds shine the brightest in this shape.
00:21:37Why are there two holes in the socket?
00:21:40The left hole is neutral,
00:21:41the right hole is not,
00:21:43and the gap underneath is ground.
00:21:46Electricity needs to flow through the chain.
00:21:48The current flows from the hot slot,
00:21:51passes through your phone charger, for example,
00:21:53and then goes through the neutral hole.
00:21:56Ever wondered what that small pocket
00:21:58on your jeans is for?
00:21:59People used to wear watches on chains.
00:22:01That small pocket was meant for it.
00:22:04Now, almost no one wears such a watch,
00:22:06but the pocket remains.
00:22:08You can still keep something small in there,
00:22:10like a ring.
00:22:11In London, there are some poles
00:22:13that look like street lamps,
00:22:14but there are no bulbs.
00:22:16Well, their official name is stink pipes,
00:22:19and they're a thing of the past now,
00:22:21but they used to come in handy
00:22:22back in the 19th century.
00:22:24These hollow poles would vent away the air
00:22:26and explosive gases with bad smells
00:22:28to prevent, shall we say,
00:22:30unwanted consequences.
00:22:33Most kitchen shears have metal plier-like teeth
00:22:36in the middle.
00:22:36Between the handle grips,
00:22:38they can help you crack nuts,
00:22:39crab shells, and other tough products.
00:22:42You can also open jars and bottles
00:22:44or remove herb stems with their help.
00:22:47Leather often looks dull to the eye
00:22:49because it's covered with itsy-bitsy scratches
00:22:52and scrapes.
00:22:53They scatter the light that hits the material.
00:22:55When you coat your shoes in a layer of wax,
00:22:57you fill these tiny crevices.
00:23:00The surface becomes smoother,
00:23:01and the rays of light bounce off it more evenly.
00:23:04That's why the leather looks shiny.
00:23:07Highlighters are filled with a special
00:23:09semi-transparent fluorescent ink
00:23:11that can glow in dim light.
00:23:13Yellow and light green hues
00:23:15are the most popular
00:23:16because they don't prevent you
00:23:18from seeing the text
00:23:19after black-and-white photocopying.
00:23:21Photocopiers perceive yellow
00:23:23and light green marks
00:23:24as very pale
00:23:25and don't print them.
00:23:26They make magnets shaped as a horseshoe
00:23:29because this increases the magnetic force.
00:23:32Colors matter, too.
00:23:33The blue part indicates the south pole.
00:23:35The red part, the north pole.
00:23:37The two poles work simultaneously
00:23:40and increase the attraction force.
00:23:43The dime-sized holes in elevator doors
00:23:45is actually a keyhole.
00:23:47If the doors get stuck,
00:23:48an operator can open them manually
00:23:50thanks to this hole.
00:23:51They'll just insert a special key.
00:23:54The tiny hole in the airplane window
00:23:56is there to balance air pressure.
00:23:58The window has three layers.
00:24:01The outer pane is extremely sturdy.
00:24:03It can withstand air pressure differences
00:24:06during take-off and landing.
00:24:07The inner pane,
00:24:09which is the closest to you,
00:24:10is made of cheaper materials.
00:24:12It prevents potential damage to the window.
00:24:14The hole itself is in the middle pane.
00:24:17It not only balances the pressure,
00:24:19but also prevents the window from fogging.
00:24:23Escalator brushes are there for your safety.
00:24:25They don't allow you to come too close
00:24:27to the edge of the escalator.
00:24:28This way, your clothes won't end up
00:24:30between the steps.
00:24:32You see the sun as yellow or orange.
00:24:34Because the atmosphere of our planet
00:24:37scatters such colors as blue,
00:24:38green, and violet.
00:24:40This is also why the sun looks warmer
00:24:42at sunrise and sunset.
00:24:44Go shopping for some oranges
00:24:46and I'm sure you'll get them
00:24:47in a red mesh bag.
00:24:49You'll rarely see them lying around
00:24:51without one of those.
00:24:52It's pure marketing,
00:24:53and that color isn't a random choice.
00:24:55When packed in a red mesh bag,
00:24:58oranges appear more orange,
00:25:00fresher, and more appealing to you.
00:25:01So, you're more likely to buy them, right?
00:25:04Lemons are usually sold in green mesh bags
00:25:07for a similar reason.
00:25:08If you pack them in red,
00:25:10they'll appear more orange.
00:25:11Green goes better with yellow
00:25:13and makes those lemons stand out.
00:25:16Mattress manufacturers make a limited number
00:25:18of different mattresses,
00:25:20and the only way to make them look different
00:25:22is to come up with a fancy stitching pattern.
00:25:24Two mattresses of two different companies
00:25:26might be the exact same quality,
00:25:28but cost differently.
00:25:30Most people will never know it
00:25:31and will decide that different patterns
00:25:33mean something in terms of quality.
00:25:36So, when shopping,
00:25:37don't mind the pattern at all.
00:25:40Almost all hotels have white bed sheets.
00:25:42They choose this color specifically
00:25:44to show how high their standards
00:25:45of cleanliness are.
00:25:47The whiter and brighter the sheets are,
00:25:49the more luxurious the hotel seems.
00:25:51It's much easier to see dirt
00:25:53and stains on white linen.
00:25:54It's like proof that you've checked
00:25:56into a clean room.
00:25:57For all those days
00:25:59when you barely have time for breakfast,
00:26:01there's an easy way to enjoy
00:26:02a nice and fast meal.
00:26:04And it will also save you the hassle
00:26:06of doing the dishes afterwards.
00:26:08I'm talking about instant oatmeal packets.
00:26:11Some manufacturers have added
00:26:13this neat design to the oatmeal.
00:26:15The packet is lined with plastic,
00:26:16so you can directly pour water
00:26:18or milk straight into it.
00:26:20This way, you won't have to use a bowl anymore.
00:26:23You place the liquid in and shake.
00:26:26Some packaging also has a demarcation line
00:26:29to show how much liquid should go inside the pack
00:26:31for that quantity.
00:26:34Next time you have to switch apartments,
00:26:36you won't have to worry about carrying
00:26:38that heavy box of books.
00:26:40These days, most moving boxes
00:26:42are specially designed for easy transportation
00:26:44with built-in handles.
00:26:46While they're not actually handled,
00:26:48I'll admit,
00:26:49they're basically just holes
00:26:50inside the cardboard box
00:26:52on the sides.
00:26:53But if you slip your hands in,
00:26:55you'll surely notice
00:26:56the boxes become way easier to carry
00:26:58than picking them up altogether.
00:27:01With the onset of so many
00:27:03online reading options,
00:27:05like e-books or even apps on your phone
00:27:07that allow you to download novels,
00:27:09you've most likely forgotten
00:27:11about your local library.
00:27:12And hey, I'm not blaming you!
00:27:15But libraries these days
00:27:16offer a lot more services
00:27:18than you're used to,
00:27:19apart from free books
00:27:20and audiobook rental.
00:27:22Some of them have a variety
00:27:23of evening classes
00:27:25or can provide access
00:27:26to online courses.
00:27:28You may even be able
00:27:29to join a book club,
00:27:31which is a great way
00:27:31to meet new people,
00:27:32and you're guaranteed
00:27:33to get out of that reading slump
00:27:34you've been stuck in.
00:27:37I enjoy picking up dinner
00:27:39on my way home
00:27:40from my favorite takeout place,
00:27:41just as you do.
00:27:42But if the food containers
00:27:43are not completely sealed shut,
00:27:45the ride back
00:27:46can prove itself
00:27:47quite the culinary experience,
00:27:48if you know what I mean.
00:27:50Especially for the carpets
00:27:52in your car.
00:27:54Some cars have a curry hook
00:27:56near the center console,
00:27:57next to the driver's seat.
00:27:58It has been popular for 20 years
00:28:00and started as a handbag holder
00:28:02or a hook
00:28:02for a small shopping bag.
00:28:04But it quickly became
00:28:06the perfect way
00:28:07to store takeaway food
00:28:08and avoid spilling.
00:28:11I'm almost sure
00:28:12there's an umbrella
00:28:13somewhere in your car,
00:28:14but if I were to ask you
00:28:15where you're storing it,
00:28:16you'd most likely say
00:28:17the truck, of course.
00:28:19But is that really
00:28:19the best place to keep it?
00:28:22Wouldn't you want
00:28:22to have an umbrella
00:28:23at hand
00:28:24right when you get
00:28:25out of the car?
00:28:26Some car companies
00:28:27have thought about that
00:28:28and don't worry,
00:28:29they don't come
00:28:30with a built-in butler
00:28:31to help you get out
00:28:32of the car all dry.
00:28:34Some specific models
00:28:35have a designated place
00:28:36in the driver's door panel
00:28:38that perfectly fits
00:28:39an umbrella.
00:28:40You have to admit,
00:28:41it's an important thing
00:28:41to consider when researching
00:28:42your next car,
00:28:43more so if you live
00:28:45in a rainy location.
00:28:47Whenever I plan
00:28:48to travel to a new location,
00:28:50I like to have access
00:28:51to the local maps
00:28:52on my phone
00:28:52at any given time.
00:28:54Since you can't always
00:28:55foresee the quality
00:28:56or price of the internet
00:28:57in foreign countries,
00:28:58be sure to download
00:28:59the maps on your phone
00:29:00when connected to Wi-Fi.
00:29:03This way,
00:29:04you'll have easy access
00:29:05to all the must-see locations
00:29:07on your next city break,
00:29:08even if you run out
00:29:09of mobile data.
00:29:11The same goes
00:29:12for Google Translate.
00:29:13The mobile app
00:29:14comes with the option
00:29:15of downloading a language
00:29:16so you'll be able
00:29:17to use it offline.
00:29:19Another nice tip
00:29:20if you're more
00:29:21of the traveler type.
00:29:22If you own an iPhone,
00:29:24text an airline code
00:29:25and flight number
00:29:26to yourself.
00:29:27You'll then notice
00:29:28it will show up
00:29:29with an underline.
00:29:30When clicking on it,
00:29:31you'll be able
00:29:31to pull up flight data,
00:29:32like the gate
00:29:33the flight leaves from
00:29:34or if the flight
00:29:35is on schedule.
00:29:38Flashlights are those objects
00:29:40that we tend to reach out
00:29:41for in an emergency,
00:29:42like whenever there's
00:29:43a power break
00:29:44or when you need
00:29:45to take a quick trip
00:29:45in the attic
00:29:46for an old photo album
00:29:47or something.
00:29:48If you're ever
00:29:49in a sticky situation
00:29:50and the flashlight
00:29:51runs out of battery,
00:29:52have a look at its base
00:29:53under the battery spring.
00:29:55Some models come
00:29:56with a spare bulb
00:29:57hidden in there.
00:30:00If you're the type
00:30:01of person that likes
00:30:02to wake up early
00:30:02in the morning
00:30:03but the rest
00:30:04of the people
00:30:04in your house
00:30:05enjoy sleeping in,
00:30:06there's a way
00:30:06you can still use
00:30:07your microwave
00:30:08to prepare breakfast
00:30:09without waking everyone up.
00:30:11It turns out
00:30:12some of them
00:30:13come with a built-in
00:30:14mute function
00:30:14that gets rid
00:30:15of all the annoying
00:30:16rings and beeps.
00:30:19In the many times
00:30:20I've found myself
00:30:21driving on local roadways,
00:30:22I've noticed some
00:30:23apparently random
00:30:24blue reflectors
00:30:25here and there.
00:30:26Since I had no idea
00:30:28what they were,
00:30:28I did some research
00:30:29and found out
00:30:30that they actually
00:30:30pinpoint the locations
00:30:32of fire hydrants.
00:30:33They're generally
00:30:34offset from the center line
00:30:35on either side
00:30:36and the offset side
00:30:38tells if the hydrant
00:30:39is on the left
00:30:40or right side
00:30:41of the road
00:30:41to assist firefighters
00:30:42on their missions better.
00:30:45Next time you get out
00:30:46of the car
00:30:47and forget to close
00:30:48all the windows,
00:30:48you won't have to
00:30:50get back in there.
00:30:51Just try this.
00:30:52Hold the keys
00:30:53on the door
00:30:53of your car pressed
00:30:54and it should lock
00:30:55all the doors
00:30:56and shut
00:30:57all the windows.
00:30:58The same goes
00:30:59with opening
00:31:00all the doors.
00:31:01Just double-click
00:31:01the button.
00:31:03Most car models
00:31:04should come
00:31:04with this added option
00:31:05but most people
00:31:06just forget
00:31:07or have no idea
00:31:08that they can do that.
00:31:10Whenever you're
00:31:11in that awkward position
00:31:12of messing up
00:31:13a voicemail,
00:31:14do you know
00:31:15there's a way
00:31:15you can delete
00:31:16or re-record
00:31:17the message
00:31:17saving you
00:31:18the unnecessary
00:31:19embarrassment?
00:31:20Stay online
00:31:21after recording
00:31:22the message
00:31:22and dial
00:31:23either pound
00:31:24number sign
00:31:24or star
00:31:25to access
00:31:27the voicemail menu.
00:31:28Further instructions
00:31:29should be provided
00:31:30so you can decide
00:31:31what to do
00:31:31with the recording.
00:31:34Bagels are becoming
00:31:35more and more famous
00:31:37these days
00:31:37on options
00:31:38for breakfast
00:31:38or snacks
00:31:39because they're
00:31:40so tasty
00:31:41and so versatile.
00:31:42The problem is
00:31:43I only want my bagel
00:31:44toasted on one side.
00:31:46Thankfully,
00:31:47some toasters
00:31:48come with a bagel setting
00:31:49which ensures
00:31:50the pastry is toasted
00:31:51on either one
00:31:52of the two sides.
00:31:56Ever wondered
00:31:56why manhole covers
00:31:57only come
00:31:58in that round shape?
00:31:59It turns out
00:32:00that this is the only shape
00:32:01that cannot fall
00:32:02through the hole
00:32:03altogether.
00:32:04Any other shape,
00:32:05especially shapes
00:32:06with corners,
00:32:06could be rotated
00:32:07so that the lid
00:32:08could fall through.
00:32:11Here's a neat one
00:32:12if you enjoy
00:32:12a little massage
00:32:13whenever you're
00:32:14taking a shower.
00:32:15On most of the
00:32:16shower heads available
00:32:17these days,
00:32:17there should be
00:32:18a small metal filter
00:32:19in the back
00:32:20beneath the shower head
00:32:21once you unscrew it.
00:32:23If you give this piece
00:32:24a rough cleaning
00:32:25once in a while,
00:32:26you'll find the water pressure
00:32:27to be greatly improved.
00:32:31You may be able
00:32:32to save that wool sweater
00:32:33you've accidentally
00:32:34thrown in the washer
00:32:35and has shrunken
00:32:35down three sizes.
00:32:37Just go in the shower
00:32:38and grab a bottle
00:32:39of hair conditioner.
00:32:40Add it to some
00:32:41cold water in a tub
00:32:42and make a solution
00:32:43and let the garment
00:32:45sit there for at least
00:32:45a couple of hours.
00:32:47The conditioner
00:32:48should help relax
00:32:49the wool fibers
00:32:50and loosen them back up,
00:32:51not to mention
00:32:52how nice it should
00:32:53smell afterwards.
00:32:56You might need
00:32:57to do a bit of research
00:32:59before you can
00:32:59safely use this trick.
00:33:01But just so that you know,
00:33:02there are some
00:33:03modern laptops
00:33:04with drainage channels.
00:33:05Mm-hmm,
00:33:06you heard that right.
00:33:07Precisely when you
00:33:08accidentally spilled
00:33:09coffee on it,
00:33:10they're designed
00:33:10to ensure any liquid
00:33:12that gets on the keyboard
00:33:12safely drains out
00:33:14at the bottom
00:33:14without damaging
00:33:15the electrical parts.
00:33:17Just make sure
00:33:18to not shake the laptop
00:33:19after you've spilled
00:33:20the liquid
00:33:20so that the system
00:33:21can do its job correctly.
00:33:29So get this,
00:33:30an extra hole
00:33:31at the upper part
00:33:32of the sink
00:33:32has multiple
00:33:33hidden functions.
00:33:34First,
00:33:35in case someone
00:33:35forgets to close the tap,
00:33:37the water won't overflow
00:33:38and the bathroom
00:33:39won't get flooded.
00:33:40Second,
00:33:41thanks to that hole,
00:33:42the water drains faster
00:33:43and it gives an escape
00:33:44for the air,
00:33:45helping the water
00:33:45flow down.
00:33:48Those two holes
00:33:49on a side
00:33:49of any Converse shoe
00:33:50are not only
00:33:51to let the stinky air out.
00:33:53Sure,
00:33:53breathability
00:33:54is important
00:33:54for any athlete.
00:33:56The second reason
00:33:56is that athletes
00:33:57lace through those holes
00:33:59to get a better grip.
00:34:02Donuts have a hole
00:34:03in the middle
00:34:04and it doesn't stand
00:34:04for O in donut.
00:34:06It's not designed
00:34:07for an easier grip either,
00:34:09though it can be
00:34:09quite convenient.
00:34:10It's actually made this way
00:34:11for mass baking
00:34:12so that they can cook
00:34:13all the way through evenly.
00:34:17Baby carrots are tiny
00:34:18and,
00:34:19unlike regular carrots,
00:34:20wet.
00:34:21Baby carrots
00:34:22aren't some special
00:34:23sort of carrots.
00:34:24They're actually made
00:34:24of regular carrots
00:34:25by cutting off the skin
00:34:26and outer layers
00:34:28and then polishing them
00:34:29to look that pretty.
00:34:30The problem
00:34:31is that they can't
00:34:32retain moisture.
00:34:33A regular carrot
00:34:34retains some water inside
00:34:35because of the layers
00:34:36that locks it in.
00:34:37Once they're chopped out,
00:34:39baby carrots
00:34:39can dry out easily,
00:34:40so they usually
00:34:41sell them in bags
00:34:42with some water inside.
00:34:45Toy stores are filled
00:34:46with Beanie Baby
00:34:47plush toys
00:34:48and a detail
00:34:49that is even more iconic
00:34:50than their huge eyes
00:34:51is their tags
00:34:52saying T.Y.
00:34:54That's a small
00:34:55manufacturing company
00:34:56not so many people
00:34:56have heard of.
00:34:57Beanie Babies
00:34:58appeared in 1993
00:34:59and they went
00:35:00insanely popular.
00:35:02T.Y.
00:35:03is the name of the company,
00:35:04but it's not an abbreviation.
00:35:05It's the actual name
00:35:06of the company's founder,
00:35:08H. Ty Warner.
00:35:11Most metallic zippers
00:35:12have a hidden lock
00:35:13inside them
00:35:14to save you
00:35:14from awkward situations
00:35:16such as an undone fly.
00:35:18Oh boy.
00:35:19Don't leave the zipper handle
00:35:20in an upward position.
00:35:22When you pull it downwards,
00:35:23it automatically locks.
00:35:24It's all thanks
00:35:25to those tiny grooves
00:35:26hidden underneath the handle.
00:35:30Almost any public toilet
00:35:32has a large gap
00:35:33between the floor
00:35:34and the door.
00:35:35The reason for such
00:35:36a zero privacy thing
00:35:37is to actually minimize
00:35:38the level of privacy
00:35:40and comfort
00:35:40so that people
00:35:41wouldn't stay there long
00:35:42and there'd be no lines.
00:35:43It's also easier to clean
00:35:45and safer
00:35:46if some emergency occurs.
00:35:50Headrests in a car
00:35:51are about comfort
00:35:52and detachable headrests
00:35:54are about safety.
00:35:55If you pull the headrest
00:35:56out of a seat,
00:35:57you'll see two bars
00:35:58which are quite sturdy.
00:36:00If you ever get locked
00:36:01or trapped in a car,
00:36:03you can get out of there
00:36:04smashing the window
00:36:05with these bars.
00:36:09Many cups and mugs
00:36:10have little grooves
00:36:11on the bottom on purpose.
00:36:13They're designed
00:36:13for dishwashing machines.
00:36:15The grooves
00:36:15let the water flow
00:36:16and not spill over your feet
00:36:18when you take the cup out.
00:36:19Also,
00:36:20those grooves
00:36:21let the air flow
00:36:22so the cup doesn't crack
00:36:23even if the tea is scalding.
00:36:27Almost all measuring tapes
00:36:29have a metal tip
00:36:30with a small slot
00:36:30on the end.
00:36:31You can use this slot
00:36:33to hang the tape
00:36:33on a nail or a screw
00:36:35to make measurements
00:36:36without anyone's help.
00:36:38Sometimes,
00:36:39this tip has a row
00:36:40of sharp points
00:36:41along the edge
00:36:41on one side.
00:36:42That comes in handy
00:36:43when you want to leave a mark
00:36:44without using a pencil.
00:36:48Doorknobs are usually
00:36:48made of brass,
00:36:49bronze,
00:36:50and some other copper alloys
00:36:51for a reason.
00:36:52They have an antibacterial effect,
00:36:54so they stop microbes
00:36:56from spreading.
00:36:57They get rid of a range
00:36:59of harmful germs
00:37:00pretty fast
00:37:00within a couple of hours.
00:37:02But don't forget
00:37:03to wash your hands anyway.
00:37:06Grocery carts
00:37:07have loops
00:37:07for a reason.
00:37:08You don't want to put
00:37:09your jacket in a cart
00:37:10next to potatoes and onions.
00:37:12Hang it on a loop.
00:37:14This little hook-like thing
00:37:15is there to help you
00:37:16better organize
00:37:17the space in your cart.
00:37:18The carts
00:37:19also have
00:37:20a super handy grid.
00:37:22Whenever the cart's full,
00:37:23you just need to lift the grid
00:37:24and attach the shopping basket
00:37:25for extra purchases.
00:37:27Placing it in between
00:37:28the horizontal bar
00:37:29above the wheels
00:37:30and the hooks the grid has.
00:37:34A point in an ointment cap
00:37:36is there for a reason too.
00:37:37Most tubes
00:37:38are usually sealed with foil,
00:37:39and it's better to avoid
00:37:40opening it with fingers
00:37:42unless you're ready
00:37:42to say goodbye
00:37:43to your nails.
00:37:44A point easily opens
00:37:46even the most safely sealed tube.
00:37:50Silica gel
00:37:51can often be found
00:37:52in different things you buy
00:37:53like bags,
00:37:54shoes,
00:37:54and many others.
00:37:55Don't throw it away.
00:37:56It's meant to absorb
00:37:58excess moisture,
00:37:59so anytime your shoes
00:38:00are a bit wet,
00:38:01just throw in a packet
00:38:02with silica gel.
00:38:05People used to co-live
00:38:06with rats,
00:38:07and these guys like
00:38:08gnawing on everything
00:38:09they see in their way,
00:38:11including paper.
00:38:13Still,
00:38:13rats weren't able to chew
00:38:15more than the space
00:38:15left on the margins.
00:38:19That black grate
00:38:20on a microwave
00:38:21isn't just
00:38:21some fancy decoration.
00:38:22It's called
00:38:23a Faraday shield,
00:38:24and it prevents
00:38:25the rays from
00:38:26escaping the microwave.
00:38:27It also speeds up
00:38:28the heating,
00:38:29so you can enjoy
00:38:30yesterday's leftovers
00:38:31faster.
00:38:32It may also block
00:38:33phone signals,
00:38:34so if you're tired
00:38:35of numerous calls,
00:38:36just put the phone
00:38:37into a microwave,
00:38:38but don't turn it on.
00:38:42All Tic Tac containers
00:38:44are designed
00:38:44to dispense
00:38:45one Tic Tac
00:38:46every time you open it.
00:38:47The lid has the same
00:38:49shape as the candy.
00:38:50Turn the container
00:38:51upside down,
00:38:51gently shake it,
00:38:52and open it slowly.
00:38:54You'll notice
00:38:54only one candy
00:38:55stuck between
00:38:56those lid grooves.
00:38:57So if you just
00:38:58open the container
00:38:59and shake it
00:38:59until five or even
00:39:00more candies
00:39:01fall into your mouth,
00:39:02it means you've been
00:39:03eating Tic Tacs
00:39:04wrong all this time.
00:39:09Those little holes
00:39:10in the airplane windows
00:39:11are designed
00:39:12to control
00:39:12the cabin pressure.
00:39:13They also protect
00:39:14the windows
00:39:15from fogging up
00:39:16as the temperatures
00:39:16drop and rise.
00:39:17By the way,
00:39:18the airplane window
00:39:19is round for a reason.
00:39:21This way,
00:39:21pressure is evenly
00:39:22distributed
00:39:23so it doesn't get
00:39:23deformed.
00:39:27Blue bristles
00:39:28on a toothbrush
00:39:28are actually an indicator
00:39:30that it's just about
00:39:30time to change the brush.
00:39:32As the bristles
00:39:33get in contact
00:39:34with water,
00:39:34the blue
00:39:35or whatever other
00:39:36pigment fades away.
00:39:37So the more you use it,
00:39:39the duller
00:39:39the color becomes.
00:39:42A triple handle
00:39:43on a jerry can
00:39:44is there to make it
00:39:45easier for two people
00:39:46to carry it
00:39:46and distribute
00:39:47the fuel evenly.
00:39:48Gas cans often
00:39:49have a second hole
00:39:50that actually needs
00:39:51to be uncapped too
00:39:52before you pour the gas.
00:39:53The air passage
00:39:54will prevent it
00:39:55from pouring out,
00:39:56so no more fuel waste.
00:40:00Jeans first appeared
00:40:01in 1873.
00:40:02They were invented
00:40:03by Jacob Davis
00:40:04and Levi Strauss.
00:40:06Davis was a tailor
00:40:07who was producing
00:40:08covers and tents
00:40:09and Strauss
00:40:10was a businessman
00:40:11who,
00:40:12among other things,
00:40:13was selling cloth.
00:40:14The first jeans
00:40:16were made by Davis
00:40:17from denim,
00:40:18the fabric he bought
00:40:19from Levi Strauss
00:40:20and co.
00:40:21Together,
00:40:22they patented
00:40:22the design.
00:40:23Blue was a standard
00:40:25color for denim
00:40:25that was dyed
00:40:26using an indigo dye.
00:40:28The blue color
00:40:29is a tradition
00:40:29that is still often
00:40:30followed today
00:40:31to replicate
00:40:32the original look
00:40:33of a pair of jeans.
00:40:34Jeans also have
00:40:35metal rivets
00:40:36and they've been there
00:40:37from the very beginning.
00:40:38Jacob Davis,
00:40:39the man who made
00:40:40the first pair of jeans,
00:40:41added copper rivets
00:40:42to spots where pants
00:40:43were more likely
00:40:44to rip,
00:40:45flies and pockets
00:40:46to make them stronger.
00:40:48Today,
00:40:48they have more
00:40:49of a decorative purpose
00:40:50since they're distinctive
00:40:51and traditional
00:40:52for jeans.
00:40:54Another special thing
00:40:56about jeans
00:40:56is those tiny pockets
00:40:57they have
00:40:58that seemingly serve
00:40:59no purpose.
00:41:00Well,
00:41:00maybe it's true now,
00:41:01but years ago
00:41:02when many cowboys
00:41:03were wearing jeans,
00:41:04the pocket was made
00:41:05specifically
00:41:05to keep a pocket watch
00:41:07there.
00:41:08Also,
00:41:09back then,
00:41:10a pair of jeans
00:41:10had just four pockets,
00:41:12that tiny pocket,
00:41:13the watch pocket,
00:41:14two big pockets in front
00:41:15and just one pocket
00:41:16on the back.
00:41:19Many zippers
00:41:20have the letters
00:41:21YKK engraved on them.
00:41:23It's an abbreviation
00:41:24that stands for
00:41:25the name of the company
00:41:26that can be translated
00:41:28as
00:41:28Yoshida Manufacturing
00:41:30Shareholding Company.
00:41:31This Japanese company
00:41:32is the largest zipper
00:41:33manufacturer
00:41:34in the world,
00:41:35so they put their initials
00:41:36on all the zippers
00:41:37they produce.
00:41:38That's around half
00:41:39of the zippers
00:41:39in the world.
00:41:41And that's why
00:41:41you see their zippers
00:41:42more often
00:41:43than any other zippers.
00:41:46Those little white golf balls
00:41:47have dimples
00:41:48all over them.
00:41:49It turns out
00:41:49they aren't there
00:41:50just randomly.
00:41:51At first,
00:41:52golfers were playing
00:41:52with a smooth ball.
00:41:54With time,
00:41:55the ball would get
00:41:55all punched and damaged,
00:41:57but also,
00:41:58it would start to travel
00:41:59way further.
00:42:00The reason here
00:42:01is aerodynamics.
00:42:02Dimples allow the air
00:42:04to flow more smoothly
00:42:05around the ball,
00:42:06taking it further,
00:42:07so the idea was adopted
00:42:08and the balls
00:42:09got their dimples
00:42:10all around,
00:42:10allowing them
00:42:11to travel longer distances.
00:42:15Now,
00:42:16the earliest logos
00:42:17can be traced back
00:42:18to ancient family crests.
00:42:20In the Middle Ages,
00:42:21people with pubs
00:42:22and shops
00:42:23started using
00:42:24various symbols
00:42:25to present
00:42:25what they did
00:42:26and to distinguish
00:42:28themselves from others
00:42:29in their line of business.
00:42:30But why
00:42:31is it so important
00:42:32for a brand
00:42:33to have an impactful logo?
00:42:35Well,
00:42:36because first impressions
00:42:37count,
00:42:38even for businesses.
00:42:39A well-crafted logo
00:42:41can send the right message
00:42:42to potential customers
00:42:44and help people learn more
00:42:45about your business
00:42:46at first glance.
00:42:47With so many logos
00:42:49to look at nowadays,
00:42:50especially since
00:42:51the beginning of e-commerce,
00:42:53it's easy
00:42:54to overlook
00:42:55the hidden meanings
00:42:56and symbols
00:42:56in everyday products.
00:42:59The Domino's pizza logo
00:43:01also says a lot
00:43:02about the company's past.
00:43:04As the name suggests,
00:43:05there's a domino piece
00:43:06in the graphic design
00:43:07of the logo.
00:43:09The initial plan
00:43:10was to add another dot
00:43:11to the domino
00:43:12for each new location.
00:43:13But the company
00:43:15grew so big
00:43:16that adding dots
00:43:17for all the locations
00:43:18wasn't possible.
00:43:19So those three dots
00:43:21we see today
00:43:21are there
00:43:22to remind customers
00:43:23of the three initial locations
00:43:25of the pizza chain.
00:43:26Now, when you look
00:43:28at the Beats logo,
00:43:29the first thing
00:43:30that comes to mind
00:43:31is the letter B,
00:43:32and rightly so.
00:43:33But there's a hidden meaning
00:43:35here as well.
00:43:36The red circle
00:43:37actually depicts
00:43:38a person's head,
00:43:39while the white letter B
00:43:40also stands
00:43:41for a pair of headphones.
00:43:44Another very
00:43:45customer-oriented logo
00:43:46is that of the brand LG.
00:43:49The company designed
00:43:50its logo
00:43:50to include both
00:43:51the company's
00:43:52initial name,
00:43:53Lucky Gold Star,
00:43:54and the company's
00:43:55current slogan,
00:43:56Life's Good.
00:43:57A careful look
00:43:58at their logo
00:43:59shows not only
00:44:00the letters L and G,
00:44:01but also a smiley face.
00:44:04They may be one
00:44:05of the most famous
00:44:06jean manufacturers
00:44:07in the world,
00:44:08but their brand identity
00:44:09also has some
00:44:10hidden meaning in it.
00:44:11The Levi's logo
00:44:13is designed
00:44:13in the shape
00:44:14of a pocket
00:44:15that can be found
00:44:16on each and every pair
00:44:17of the jeans
00:44:18they produce.
00:44:19The FedEx logo
00:44:20is also very cool.
00:44:22At first glance,
00:44:22it looks like the words
00:44:24Fed and X
00:44:25written together
00:44:26in two contrasting colors,
00:44:28purple and orange.
00:44:29But if you look closely
00:44:30between the letters
00:44:31E and X,
00:44:32you'll notice
00:44:33that the negative space
00:44:34is in the shape
00:44:35of an arrow
00:44:36pointing to the right.
00:44:37It symbolizes movement
00:44:39and agility.
00:44:40The Unilever Group
00:44:42has a staggering number
00:44:43of brands
00:44:44all over the world,
00:44:45more than 400.
00:44:46It's no surprise
00:44:47that their U-shaped logo
00:44:49is composed
00:44:50of many different symbols,
00:44:51like a flower,
00:44:52a spoon,
00:44:53or a bird.
00:44:54It's done to showcase
00:44:55how many things
00:44:56they produce,
00:44:57from food and refreshments
00:44:58to personal care
00:44:59and beauty products.
00:45:02NBC,
00:45:03or the National Broadcasting Company,
00:45:05is a broadcast
00:45:06and radio network
00:45:07with a logo
00:45:08that's very nice
00:45:09to look at.
00:45:09It's bright,
00:45:11colorful,
00:45:11and flashy.
00:45:12Why is that?
00:45:13Well,
00:45:14because the network
00:45:14was created
00:45:15at about the same time
00:45:16color television
00:45:17started to gain momentum.
00:45:19The bird-shaped NBC logo
00:45:21symbolizes the initial
00:45:23six divisions
00:45:23of the network,
00:45:24and the colors
00:45:25are also a nice reminder
00:45:27to customers
00:45:27that NBC is proud
00:45:29as a peacock
00:45:30of their programs.
00:45:33The Evernote logo
00:45:34is another of those designs
00:45:36that clearly shows
00:45:37the brand's overall purpose.
00:45:39While the font used
00:45:40is relatively simple,
00:45:41on the left
00:45:42of the word Evernote,
00:45:43there's a depiction
00:45:44of an elephant.
00:45:46The animal is a well-known
00:45:47symbol of good memory,
00:45:49and the shape of its ear
00:45:50is curled like a post-it note.
00:45:52A cool touch
00:45:53for an app designed
00:45:54for organization
00:45:55and note-taking,
00:45:56wouldn't you say so?
00:45:58Now,
00:45:59the Cisco logo
00:45:59comes with its own
00:46:00little secret as well.
00:46:02The font is quite minimalistic,
00:46:04but the lines above
00:46:05are there to depict
00:46:06the Golden Gate Bridge
00:46:07in San Francisco.
00:46:09The first CEO
00:46:10of the company,
00:46:11a man named
00:46:11John Morgridge,
00:46:13thought this would be
00:46:14a great idea
00:46:15to emphasize
00:46:15moving toward the future
00:46:17and connecting
00:46:18two worlds.
00:46:19The Amazon logo
00:46:20is everywhere these days,
00:46:22but there's a small detail
00:46:24in there
00:46:24that most people
00:46:25probably miss.
00:46:26The arrow
00:46:27connecting the letters
00:46:28A and Z,
00:46:30the one in the shape
00:46:31of a smile,
00:46:31is there to point out
00:46:33that they have a complete
00:46:34inventory of products
00:46:35from A to Z.
00:46:38Audi is one of those brands
00:46:39that likes to showcase
00:46:40their history.
00:46:41Those four simple
00:46:43intertwining circles
00:46:44on the company's logo
00:46:45are a reminder
00:46:46of the four companies
00:46:47which were initially
00:46:48part of the conglomerate,
00:46:50DKW,
00:46:51Horsch,
00:46:52Wanderer,
00:46:53and Audi.
00:46:54There's a nice story
00:46:55behind the Baskin-Robbins
00:46:57logo as well.
00:46:58Between the letters
00:46:59B and R
00:47:00in the middle of the logo,
00:47:02you can notice
00:47:02the number 31.
00:47:04Why is that?
00:47:05Because the company
00:47:06has 31 original flavors
00:47:08of ice cream.
00:47:09I think I've darn near
00:47:10tried them all.
00:47:11A lot of companies
00:47:13out there
00:47:13like to give their logos
00:47:14a bit of a vintage touch,
00:47:16and Picasa
00:47:18is one of them.
00:47:19Before we had
00:47:19digital cameras
00:47:20and the perfect portrait
00:47:22was just a click away,
00:47:23analog cameras
00:47:24had a little thing
00:47:25called a shutter.
00:47:26That's a device
00:47:27that opens
00:47:28to let light pass through,
00:47:30exposing the film
00:47:31and creating a photograph.
00:47:32The Picasa logo
00:47:34is just that.
00:47:35A shutter
00:47:36nicely colored
00:47:37in red,
00:47:37blue,
00:47:38green,
00:47:38purple,
00:47:39and orange.
00:47:40The 7-Eleven logo
00:47:41has a nice twist
00:47:42that might not have
00:47:43caught your eye by now.
00:47:45The N
00:47:46at the end of the word
00:47:47is in lowercase,
00:47:48unlike the rest of the letters,
00:47:50which are in all caps.
00:47:51It's said that
00:47:52the company's
00:47:53president's wife,
00:47:54back in the 60s,
00:47:55wanted to make
00:47:56the company's logo
00:47:57look a bit less harsh.
00:47:59She believed
00:47:59that the uppercase font
00:48:01would be a bit too rigid.
00:48:02And she wanted
00:48:03to make the overall
00:48:04appearance of the logo
00:48:05more fluid.
00:48:06A graphic designer
00:48:08found a solution
00:48:09by switching
00:48:10to a lowercase n
00:48:11at the end
00:48:12of the word.
00:48:12So I'm guessing
00:48:13that when you pronounce it,
00:48:15you just throw away
00:48:15the lowercase n,
00:48:17like 7-Eleven.
00:48:18Or not.
00:48:19Chocolate fans
00:48:20must know
00:48:21the Toblerone brand.
00:48:22If you're one of them,
00:48:23have you ever noticed
00:48:24all the intricate
00:48:25detailing in its logo?
00:48:27The city of Bern
00:48:28in Switzerland,
00:48:29where the company
00:48:30was founded,
00:48:31is also named
00:48:32the city of bears.
00:48:33When you visit this place,
00:48:35you'll see that
00:48:35there are bears everywhere,
00:48:37from the city's
00:48:38coat of arms
00:48:38to public trash cans.
00:48:40The Toblerone chocolate
00:48:41is shaped like a mountain,
00:48:43hence the mountain
00:48:44in the logo.
00:48:45But there's also
00:48:46a bear depicted there,
00:48:48hidden in the negative space.
00:48:50The Chick-fil-A logo
00:48:51is one of those
00:48:52that goes straight
00:48:53to the point
00:48:54with their imagery.
00:48:55The C stands
00:48:56for chicken, of course,
00:48:57but it's also
00:48:58shaped like a chicken
00:48:59if you look closely.
00:49:01Another great example
00:49:02of negative space
00:49:03used creatively
00:49:04is the Formula One logo.
00:49:06Between the F,
00:49:08which stands for
00:49:08the word formula,
00:49:09and the horizontal lines
00:49:11depicting red flames,
00:49:13the number one
00:49:13is intelligently hidden.
00:49:15Bet you didn't see that one.
00:49:17One of the greatest
00:49:18sportswear brands,
00:49:20Adidas,
00:49:20has a mystery of its own.
00:49:22At first glance,
00:49:23its logo is merely
00:49:24comprised of
00:49:25three vertical lines.
00:49:27Don't they look
00:49:27like a mountain to you?
00:49:29This mountain is there
00:49:30to symbolize
00:49:31the effort athletes
00:49:32have to make
00:49:32to reach the top,
00:49:34which is like,
00:49:35you know,
00:49:35climbing a mountain.
00:49:37The IBM logo
00:49:38has its own statement
00:49:40to make.
00:49:40The three letters
00:49:41of the company's name,
00:49:43I, B, and M,
00:49:45are designed
00:49:46to be the horizontal lines
00:49:47meant to symbolize
00:49:48speed and dynamism.
00:49:50This is one of
00:49:51the company's
00:49:52main values,
00:49:52which has always
00:49:53been important
00:49:54to the founders.
00:49:55With a cool logo
00:49:57to present to the world,
00:49:58Ray-Ban has become
00:49:59a household name
00:50:00for sunglasses.
00:50:01Just to make sure
00:50:02you don't miss
00:50:03what they actually do,
00:50:04the B in the logo
00:50:05is designed
00:50:06like a pair of shades.
00:50:08The worldwide
00:50:08internet source
00:50:09of information,
00:50:10Wikipedia,
00:50:11has a logo
00:50:12to match
00:50:12its brand identity.
00:50:14The globe
00:50:15is made of
00:50:15many puzzle pieces,
00:50:17each with a different
00:50:18symbol on it,
00:50:18and some missing pieces
00:50:20as well.
00:50:21It tells the story
00:50:22of the company's mission
00:50:23without a single word.
00:50:25That's a nice lesson
00:50:26in storytelling,
00:50:27don't you think?
00:50:28Subway is one
00:50:29of those brands
00:50:30that have a nice
00:50:31combination of the logo
00:50:32and name,
00:50:33meant to symbolize
00:50:34that you can have
00:50:35a delicious meal
00:50:36anytime.
00:50:37The pointing arrows
00:50:38on the letter S and Y
00:50:40look like the directions
00:50:41found at Subway Station.
00:50:44Now, there's no way
00:50:45you can miss
00:50:46the two pieces of chocolate
00:50:47in the Hershey Kisses logo.
00:50:49But there's a third one
00:50:50hidden in there
00:50:51if you look closely.
00:50:52Have you seen it yet?
00:50:54It's hidden between
00:50:55the letters K and I.
00:50:57If you've ever
00:50:58redecorated a house
00:51:00or planned a wedding,
00:51:01you most likely
00:51:02use Pinterest
00:51:03to store and share ideas.
00:51:05The Pinterest logo
00:51:06looks like the letter P
00:51:07in a red circle.
00:51:08But look again.
00:51:10This P is shaped
00:51:11like a drawing pen.
00:51:13To the untrained eye,
00:51:15the logo of the
00:51:16London Symphony Orchestra
00:51:17looks like an eccentric
00:51:19red curved line.
00:51:20But in reality,
00:51:21it has a purpose
00:51:22of its own
00:51:23as it symbolizes
00:51:24a musical conductor.
00:51:27Another brand
00:51:28with hidden imagery
00:51:29in its logo
00:51:29is Magic Coffee.
00:51:31The cup of coffee
00:51:32on the top of the name
00:51:33is shaped like a top hat
00:51:35if you take a closer look.
00:51:37Okay, I'm ready
00:51:38for some food now.
00:51:40You just spent
00:51:41the entire morning
00:51:42running errands
00:51:43up and down the street.
00:51:44And you finally stop
00:51:45to treat yourself
00:51:46to a cup of coffee.
00:51:47You enter the nearest
00:51:48coffee shop,
00:51:49place your order,
00:51:50and notice that actually
00:51:52you really need
00:51:53to use the bathroom.
00:51:54It's a regular-looking
00:51:55public one
00:51:56with multiple stalls.
00:51:58As you pick yours,
00:51:59the one in the middle,
00:52:00you get inside
00:52:01and your mind
00:52:02starts to wander.
00:52:03Why on earth
00:52:04do bathroom doors
00:52:05have a half-inch gap
00:52:06between the door
00:52:07and the lock?
00:52:08And why on earth
00:52:09do they have a huge gap
00:52:10between the door
00:52:11and the floor?
00:52:12Can we have a drumroll
00:52:13for this moment, please?
00:52:15Well, my friend,
00:52:16there is not only
00:52:17one specific reason
00:52:18why public bathroom doors
00:52:20have so many gaps in them,
00:52:22but rather several.
00:52:23Public toilets
00:52:24are designed
00:52:25to make people
00:52:25spend as little time
00:52:27there as possible.
00:52:28You aren't supposed
00:52:29to feel comfortable
00:52:29or at home.
00:52:31So the design
00:52:32would have to reflect
00:52:33this notion.
00:52:33Here come the gaps.
00:52:36In some bathrooms,
00:52:37gaps are so big
00:52:38that users may even
00:52:39feel self-conscious
00:52:40about doing their business
00:52:42out of preoccupation
00:52:43that the rest of the people
00:52:44standing in line
00:52:45will see them.
00:52:47Then there's
00:52:47the matter of pricing.
00:52:49Making custom doors
00:52:50can be a heavy burden
00:52:51for the people
00:52:52building public toilets.
00:52:53This would mean
00:52:54understanding
00:52:55exact measurements
00:52:56so that doors
00:52:57would always fit
00:52:58the mold of the stalls
00:52:59it's supposed
00:52:59to be installed into.
00:53:01Now,
00:53:02not all the gaps
00:53:02in public bathrooms
00:53:04are necessarily
00:53:05the same size.
00:53:06They may vary,
00:53:07even if this variation
00:53:09is small
00:53:09and often unnoticeable.
00:53:11So,
00:53:12these gaps
00:53:12actually help
00:53:13to reduce
00:53:13the margins of errors
00:53:14and to turn production
00:53:16more cost-effective
00:53:17for the people
00:53:18financing them.
00:53:19In case a door
00:53:20comes wider
00:53:21or more narrow
00:53:22than it should,
00:53:23the gap regulates
00:53:24the differences
00:53:24and allows for
00:53:25their installation
00:53:26anyway.
00:53:27There is also
00:53:28the case of air circulation.
00:53:30The last thing
00:53:31you want to do
00:53:32in a public bathroom
00:53:33is to trap odors.
00:53:34So,
00:53:35you need a little space
00:53:36under and between
00:53:37the doors
00:53:37to allow the air
00:53:38to flow.
00:53:40Finally,
00:53:40the gaps are a big
00:53:41safety measure.
00:53:42It can always allow
00:53:43for people on the outside
00:53:44to see if someone
00:53:46inside a stall
00:53:47isn't feeling too okay
00:53:48and maybe
00:53:49needs some help.
00:53:50And,
00:53:51what about that
00:53:51extra hole
00:53:52in the upper part
00:53:53of the sink?
00:53:54It has a name
00:53:54in everything.
00:53:55The overflow hole.
00:53:57And it's designed
00:53:58to keep the sink
00:53:59from flooding.
00:54:00So,
00:54:00in case someone
00:54:01forgets
00:54:02and keeps the faucet
00:54:02going for too long
00:54:03or the sink
00:54:04gets clogged
00:54:05and water
00:54:06can't drain down
00:54:07from the main drain hole,
00:54:08the overflow hole
00:54:09comes in
00:54:10to save the day.
00:54:11Let's say
00:54:12it buys you
00:54:12a little time
00:54:13before you have
00:54:14the entire bathroom
00:54:15floor flooded.
00:54:15Have you ever noticed
00:54:17how satisfying
00:54:18closing the door
00:54:19of a car can be?
00:54:20Car manufacturers
00:54:22devote a great deal
00:54:23of time
00:54:23to designing
00:54:24these sounds.
00:54:25Studies have shown
00:54:26that they create
00:54:26a perceived sense
00:54:27of quality
00:54:28in the buyer.
00:54:29It all begins
00:54:30with the primary material.
00:54:32While older cars
00:54:33used to be made
00:54:34with heavier materials,
00:54:35car doors nowadays
00:54:36are produced
00:54:37with lighter tin,
00:54:38which can make
00:54:39a rather unpleasant
00:54:40metallic sound
00:54:41once you shut
00:54:42them closed.
00:54:43So,
00:54:43car companies
00:54:44employ sound engineers,
00:54:45to ensure
00:54:46that there is
00:54:47the exact amount
00:54:48of foam,
00:54:48mats,
00:54:49and tin
00:54:49in a car's
00:54:50composition
00:54:51to make
00:54:51the most comforting
00:54:52sound possible.
00:54:53And what about
00:54:55those tiny dots
00:54:56on the top
00:54:56of your car's
00:54:57front window?
00:54:58The pattern
00:54:59of these little
00:54:59black dots
00:55:00minimizes
00:55:00distractions
00:55:01for your eyes.
00:55:02This black part,
00:55:04also known as frit,
00:55:05normally gets warmer
00:55:06than the clear parts,
00:55:07which prevents
00:55:08the windshield
00:55:09from deforming.
00:55:10And no,
00:55:11the tab under
00:55:12your rearview mirror
00:55:13is not made
00:55:14only for the purpose
00:55:14of hanging
00:55:15fluffy dice
00:55:16or aromatic-pleasing
00:55:17air fresheners.
00:55:18It's actually
00:55:19a switch
00:55:19that allows you
00:55:20to adjust
00:55:21the position
00:55:21of the mirror
00:55:22depending on
00:55:23the time of day.
00:55:24Flip it one way
00:55:25and it's the
00:55:25daytime driving mode.
00:55:27Flip the other
00:55:28and you're ready
00:55:28to drive safely
00:55:29during nighttime
00:55:30as it tones down
00:55:31the glare
00:55:32coming from
00:55:33headlights
00:55:33of the cars
00:55:34behind you.
00:55:35Next time you
00:55:36head out to
00:55:36the supermarket,
00:55:37make sure to
00:55:38keep this in mind.
00:55:39In case you don't
00:55:40have a coin
00:55:40to unlock
00:55:41these shopping carts,
00:55:42there is a well-kept
00:55:43secret that can
00:55:44help you out.
00:55:45If you have
00:55:46your house keys
00:55:46on you,
00:55:47check for a
00:55:48rounded key head.
00:55:49If you happen
00:55:50to find one,
00:55:51try using it
00:55:51to unlock the cart.
00:55:53It should fit
00:55:53perfectly in there,
00:55:55replacing the need
00:55:55to carry coins around.
00:55:57Because,
00:55:57if we're being honest,
00:55:59who still has them?
00:56:01Elevators.
00:56:01If you want to
00:56:02ride them on your terms
00:56:03and your terms only,
00:56:04make sure to
00:56:05try something out.
00:56:06Most elevators
00:56:07have a secret
00:56:08button combination
00:56:09you can use
00:56:10to skip all
00:56:10the other selected
00:56:11floors and go
00:56:12directly to the one
00:56:13of your choosing.
00:56:14This might work out,
00:56:16especially on those
00:56:17days when you've
00:56:17pressed 13.
00:56:18But you wanted
00:56:19to press 33.
00:56:21On most elevators,
00:56:22this works once
00:56:23you simultaneously
00:56:24press the
00:56:25closed door button
00:56:25together with
00:56:26your floor number.
00:56:27This should help
00:56:28you get to your
00:56:29floor without stopping.
00:56:30Some elevators
00:56:32require you to
00:56:32double-press the
00:56:33selected floor numbers,
00:56:34as double-pressing
00:56:35will often cancel
00:56:36the previously-made
00:56:37request.
00:56:38While other elevators
00:56:40require you to
00:56:41hold the
00:56:41open-door button
00:56:42and then double-press
00:56:43the buttons of the
00:56:44floors you'd like
00:56:45to cancel.
00:56:46Now, to stay out of
00:56:47trouble, it's best
00:56:48not to cancel the
00:56:49floors of the other
00:56:50people in the elevator.
00:56:51They won't take it
00:56:52kindly.
00:56:53Also, keep in mind
00:56:54that there are elevators
00:56:55that might not have
00:56:56this function.
00:56:57Now, for honey lovers
00:56:58out there, go ahead
00:57:00and raise your hand.
00:57:00If your pot of golden
00:57:02honey is crystallized,
00:57:03know that it is
00:57:04actually a good sign.
00:57:07Crystallized honey
00:57:07means that it hasn't
00:57:09been pasteurized,
00:57:10which means better
00:57:11product quality.
00:57:12With a decrease in
00:57:13temperature, the
00:57:14natural ingredient of
00:57:15honey, also known as
00:57:16glucose, will make it
00:57:18crystallize.
00:57:19Now, try making the
00:57:20best of it.
00:57:21To add some texture to
00:57:22your oatmeal or toast,
00:57:23add a layer of
00:57:24crystallized honey and
00:57:25enjoy nature's sugar.
00:57:27And if you don't like
00:57:28crystallized honey,
00:57:29plop it in the
00:57:30microwave for a minute
00:57:31or two.
00:57:32Ah, winter and fall.
00:57:34You know what this
00:57:35means, right?
00:57:35Sweater weather.
00:57:37But there's nothing
00:57:38more annoying than
00:57:39wearing your beautiful
00:57:40wool sweater and
00:57:41itching yourself all
00:57:42the way through it.
00:57:43Actually, I can be
00:57:45more annoying than
00:57:45that, but let's talk
00:57:46about itchy sweaters.
00:57:48To keep this from
00:57:49happening again,
00:57:50here's the secret.
00:57:51Turn your sweater
00:57:52inside out and soak
00:57:53it in cold water.
00:57:54Add two or three
00:57:55tablespoons of vinegar
00:57:57and let it sit for a
00:57:58while.
00:57:58Then, drain the water.
00:58:00Now, while the
00:58:01sweater is still wet,
00:58:02massage a generous
00:58:03amount of hair
00:58:04conditioner into the
00:58:05fibers of the wool.
00:58:07After letting it soak
00:58:08in the hair conditioner
00:58:09for about 30 minutes,
00:58:10gently press the
00:58:11excess water out of
00:58:13the wool and leave
00:58:14it to dry flat on a
00:58:15towel.
00:58:16There you go!
00:58:17No more itchy
00:58:18sweater.
00:58:19Any fast food
00:58:20restaurant you go to
00:58:21will hand out small
00:58:22paper cups for
00:58:23customers to fill with
00:58:24their ketchup,
00:58:25mustard, or
00:58:25barbecue sauce.
00:58:27But if you're
00:58:28eating some chicken
00:58:28nuggets or trying to
00:58:30dip your burger into
00:58:31the cup, there's
00:58:32always that bit of
00:58:33sauce that seems
00:58:34impossible to reach.
00:58:35Next time, try
00:58:36unfolding the cup.
00:58:38It'll turn into a
00:58:39small paper plate,
00:58:40and this way, you'll
00:58:41get all the ketchup
00:58:42you poured in the
00:58:43first place.
00:58:45Padlocks used in
00:58:46outdoor environments
00:58:47should be clean and
00:58:48lubricated every three
00:58:49months.
00:58:50Regular lubrication
00:58:52will help prevent
00:58:52padlocks from freezing
00:58:54in cold weather
00:58:54conditions.
00:58:55Look for the tiny
00:58:56hole on the bottom
00:58:57of the lock.
00:58:58Then, pour oil into
00:59:00it, and there you go!
00:59:01It opens again!
00:59:03One thing we often
00:59:04neglect is a point in
00:59:06an ointment cap.
00:59:07These pointy surfaces
00:59:08were designed to help
00:59:09us break the tinfoil
00:59:10protection of the
00:59:11ointment tube.
00:59:12You just turn the cap
00:59:14over and break the
00:59:15ointment seal with its
00:59:16own cap, and there you
00:59:18go!
00:59:19After a long day of
00:59:20work, all you really
00:59:21need to do is a bubble
00:59:22bath.
00:59:23You turn on the hot
00:59:24water and let it run
00:59:25for a few minutes.
00:59:26You might even light a
00:59:27candle and pour some
00:59:28essential oils into
00:59:30the water.
00:59:30Then, in comes the
00:59:32liquid soap.
00:59:33You stir the water
00:59:34until the entire
00:59:35surface of the tub
00:59:36water is crammed with
00:59:37bubbles and make your
00:59:39way in.
00:59:39The bubbles in a
00:59:41bubble bath have a
00:59:41fundamental primary
00:59:43function.
00:59:43Their job is to
00:59:44preserve the water's
00:59:45temperature, just so
00:59:47you can have warm
00:59:48water for longer.
00:59:49Do you have sweaty
00:59:50feet?
00:59:51Weird question, I know.
00:59:52But if you're one of
00:59:53these people, here's
00:59:54some good news.
00:59:56All is not lost.
00:59:57Try putting a dry
00:59:58teabag inside your
01:00:00shoes and storing it
01:00:01in a dry place for a
01:00:02while.
01:00:03The teabags will
01:00:04absorb the humidity
01:00:05and the smell off the
01:00:06soles of your shoes.
01:00:08So, here I am
01:00:09thinking, shouldn't we
01:00:10have learned these
01:00:11things in school?
01:00:12Well, either way, if
01:00:14you learned something
01:00:14new today, make sure
01:00:15to tell us about it in
01:00:16the comments below.
01:00:17Well, I'll see you
01:00:19Bye-bye.
01:00:19Bye-bye.
01:00:20Bye-bye.
01:00:22Bye-bye.
01:00:23Bye-bye.
01:00:23Bye-bye.
01:00:24Bye-bye.
01:00:24Bye-bye.
