We get used to doing things in a particular way, to the extent that it becomes our right norms. We may think that we got it all covered and figured out, only to discover one day that we’ve only been on the shadows of doing things the correct way. This subject matter is about doing things that we do all the time apparently our entire life, Without actually realizing we’ve been doing them wrongly all these years, While there are much easier ways right under our nose. Most of these tricks are so simple yet, we never knew they existed.
Here are more fun life hacks that will make you reevaluate everything you thought you knew.
Eating Pringles
I pinky swear that! you’ve been eating your Pringles the wrong way. Though you derive some fun from your normal Pringle experience but you can actually maximize your enjoyment when you dine on this crispy snack the correct way. It's easy to assume that how the Pringles are stacked inside the can is the right angle to eat them, Nope! it's actually the other way around. Make sure the concave side is on your tongue. It's the more flavorful side, also you feel relaxed smashing your teeth on this crunches with ease.
Peeling bananas
Monkeys are best banana peelers than humans because they figured out something quite early enough, tricks that most humans are yet to discover. You probably have been peeling your bananas the wrong way without realizing it. Most people peel their bananas from the top, which is actually wrong. Doing it from the bottom is the best way to peel bananas so you don’t squeeze the fruit. Monkeys got this figured out a long time ago.
Holding a steering wheel
The right way to hold a steering wheel is well spelt before the eyes yet, we just decide to follow some hazards. Holding a steering at 2 o’ clock and 10 o’ clock position is apparently very common but this is a bad way to clutch the wheel. Holding it at 3 o’ clock and 9 o’ clock position where the joint are, is the proper way. Even the law enforcement personnel subconsciously break this rule.
Eating burger
Giant burgers falling apart while biting into them seem very embarrassing but you don’t care because you feel others share in the same embarrassment too. Anyway it’s actually your fault because you are probably not holding it the correct way. Place your three middle fingers on top and your thumb and pinky at the bottom while biting through burger. This ensures a nice and neat cuts.
Drinking from a Can
Take a good look at a can drink and you will realize that something in the can serves other purpose than you actually know.
After popping a can soda open, you automatically think the job is done. Nope! Don’t throw the tab out just yet. The tab hole is meant to hold a straw in place and keep it from floating up. Twist the tab so that it's right on top of the opening of the can, and see what I mean.
Another hint is that you can actually use a bottle opener to open a can drink instead of breaking that expensive nail.
Drinking from a beer bottle
Beer bottles are not actually made to be held on it body but at the neck. This is so, in order to prevent the warmth of your hand from interfering too much with the cold temperature of the liquid inside. Only few people are quite aware of this.
Heating meals in a microwave
We microwave meals every day thinking we are pros. But before you give yourself so much credits, do you always do this? Do you make a small hole in the middle of the food before microwaving it? If not, then that’s the correct way to microwave your leftovers. The small hole in the middle ensures that the heat is evenly distributed across your meal.
Using a cooking pot
There are quite some few things our moms didn’t tell us about using the cooking pot. Do you know that the hole in a pot handle is actually meant to hold a spoon?
To chill a drink bottle faster
We just get tired of waiting for our drinks to get cold. Good news! There is apparently a simple trick to get your warm drink chilled out much faster. To do this, wet a paper towel and wrap it around the warm drink, and put it in the freezer. It’ll be cold in literally 5-10 minutes! Without having to keep your visitor waiting on a long queue.
How to use microwave more efficiently
At times we just want to heat up more than one plate of food at a time but this may seem impossible because of space. However, what we don’t actually realize is that the whole space in the microwave is good for heating.
The next time you want to heat up two plates of leftovers all at once, simply put the first plate on the microwave platter pushed to one side, then place an upside-down coffee mug next to it and place the second plate on top of the mug. This way, you’ve just managed space.
Eating Oranges
There is a special way to enjoy an orange so things don’t have to be too messy. The simple trick is to cut the orange top and bottom off, then make a cut on the middle. The orange will unroll in a nice line of orange segments.
These are the few hacks on everyday things that majority of us were not actually aware of. How much of these things have you been doing wrongly?
