Using Boxes Wrong

How many of you love Chinese food? Well, most of us just eat Chinese food out of the box or pour it onto our plates. But this is not the right way to eat it.

 

 

The takeout boxes are specifically designed in a way that we can use them as plates. With food inside the box, carefully pull the sides apart and eat it.

And someone will say "should I eat that or did I"

Are you kidding? Shrimp fried rice! Love it. I can gorge myself on that stuff and be hungry an hour later.

That's the thing with rice it's filling but only lasts a short bit then you're hungry once again.  That's how the Chinese stay slim, they live on rice.

It's all carbs and energy. But just in a short burst.

The Hole In A Soda Pop Tab

You may have thought you understood all there was to know about the purpose of a soda can, but chances are you will be surprised to learn about this one. Every can of soda comes with a tab for easy opening of the tasty beverage. While these may come in all sorts of colors and different details on their corners, every single one of them has a fairly large hole in the top. Although this hole does seem to make it easier to get your finger wedged beneath the tab to pop the top on your soda, its intended purpose is actually to serve as a place-holder for your straw. Simply spin the tab around over the opening and slip your straw through.

Utility Knife Cap

 

You might have noticed that most utility knives or box cutters these days come with a thick plastic cap at the end, similar to a pen cap. While it would be easy to assume by the shape of it that it’s meant for clipping to your pants or shirt pockets, which it can, it actually serves an entirely different purpose. The plastic cap can be pulled off of the utility knife frame and the slit in the end can be used to break off the tip of your blade to reveal a new, sharper razor blade just beneath it. Using the cap instead of your hands to break the scored blade off from the rest of the knife makes it quick, easy, and prevents any unwanted cuts on your fingers.

The Metal Plates On Staplers

 

You may have noticed the metal plate toward the front end of your stapler. If you just assumed it’s there to act as reinforcement to bend the staples you’d be right, but did you know there’s more to it than that, and that your stapler actually has settings? No joke. The metal plate is called an anvil, and if you turn your stapler upside down you can adjust it by spinning the wheel until it lines up with the seemingly random hole in the metal plate. This setting is for a “temporary staple”, and will guide the arms of your staple outward instead of inwards, making it easier to pull out the staple later.

The Key To Getting Ketchup Out Easily

Ah, the peril of dealing with ketchup that's just won't come out. Sometimes, it even takes ages for a little ketchup to come out. So, one big ketchup brand came up with a solution for this "BIG PROBLEM."

Grocery Cart Loop Function

Sometimes, we fill a grocery cart with a lot of things only to find out that some fragile items broke.

 

Pixnio

To solve this problem, there are loops that frame the fold-out section. But not many people know about it. The fold-out section is for fragile items such as bread and eggs.

Another Use of The Detachable Headrest In Cars

You might have noticed that the headrest in cars is detachable, but did you know that it serves another purpose as well.

 

Evoke

In a case when you get trapped in a car, you can use the headrest to break the car window. We hope that moment never comes, but now you have an idea of how to use it.

Most people use vegetable peelers to peel the skin of potatoes and carrots. But not many people know that you can also use it for onions as well.

 

Cutco

Do it the next time as it is not only fast but it also prevents those onion tears.
