Tired of uneven bread that ruins a sandwich? We don’t like it either, but you don’t have to invest in a costly knife to get perfectly sliced bread.

Simply turn the loaf over, where it’s flat, and cut from there. Genius, no?

Keeping It Cold

Did your drink sit in the sun as you walked 20 minutes from the bodega to your apartment? Did it warm in your car on the way back from the supermarket? Did you take it out of the refrigerator, have a few sips, and forget to put it back?

Not to worry.

You can make that beverage cool again by covering it in wet paper towels and letting it sit in the fridge for at least 15 minutes. The result will be a most refreshing drinking experience.

How to Eat a Burger

A hot, juicy burger is in front of you. You pick it up, ready to devour, and then — oh no! — the tomato, onion, and some of the meat fall out, destroying this magnificent creation! What a crushing blow.

To ensure that your burger stays intact, use your pinkies for support when holding it. Yes, it’s unconventional and will probably feel foreign at first, but you’ll thank us when you get every little piece of that burger in your mouth.

The Magical 57

Speaking of not wanting to wait to eat, isn’t it frustrating when you can’t get ketchup out of the bottle? Put away the knife and stop repeatedly slamming the bottom of it with your palm because all you need to do to get it out is hit the wondrous “57” mark, located below the neck of the bottle.

Just a little tap and it will come pouring right out!

Cheetos and Chopsticks

While we’re on the subject of food cleanliness, let’s talk about Cheetos. Cheetos are a wonderful little snack, but their texture makes your hands feel and look disgusting.

Enter chopsticks. Using chopsticks to pry Cheetos out of the bag one by one, you can get your cheesy fill and remain spotless and comfortable.

How to Peel a Banana

All this time you’ve been peeling bananas from the stem! Yeah, we have too, but it’s actually the incorrect way to do so.

Make your life easier by peeling the fruit from the bottom. You’ll be amazed at how easy it is, and what a difference it makes! Gorillas and monkeys peel bananas this way in their natural habitat, and who would know better than them?

The Back of an Airplane Seat

The thought of taking coat hangers on an airplane is enough to make one queasy. Who wants to drag ironed clothes down the aisle of a packed plane, and then find a place to put them? The answer is nobody. But unfortunately, sometimes we’re left without a choice.

The next time you’re in this situation, take advantage of the hook on the food tray on the seat in front of you! It’s fit for hangers. Who knew?! Well, now you do.

How to Cut a Cake

Your days of carving out one slice of cake at a time are over! Instead, cut the entire cake in the middle and then proceed to cut slices from there. Cutting from the middle will keep the cake fresh for tomorrow, or the next day, when you want leftovers.

The little guys at your child’s next birthday party will thank you immensely.

A Sturdy Straw

Tired of that straw wobbling around as you try to enjoy your can of soda?

There’s a tab for that! After opening the can, rotate the tab and slip your straw in the perfectly-sized hole. This is particularly useful when driving — no more soda spilling on the seats!
