What have you been doing all wrong?

Former_MSE_Tine

Last week the internet showed us we've all been eating corn on the cob the wrong way. And it's not the only eye-openingly educational viral story we've seen this year - we've also learnt which way round to use hair grips, how to eat a pizza slice and even which way you should open a banana.

So what's the best practical trick you've learned this year?

Hi

I found out that oxo cubes are little sachets if you pull out the corners you can crush the cube whilst in the packet and then rip and pour out. I have lived my whole life not knowing this, thinking they were just foil wrapped cubes you had to unwrap and crush in your fingers!

Is it just me?!?

No it is me too. First read it on here.

Must try that -I've been crushing them in my fingers too.

think I posted this one on another thread:
for medicines that come in the bubble packs, I always used to press the bubble down, and if the foil was quite strong the capsule would get crushed/broken, or sometimes not even break the foil.

HOWEVER, if you run your finger along the foil and make a split in it, out pops the capsule!:T

The oxo cube has blown my mind.

Delighted it wasn't just me! I felt like a right wally when I read it! I actually don't think I've mentioned it to anyone in RL for fear they would think I was insane! ( to be fair, if they know me, some may already be sure that I am :rotfl:)
