Everyday Tasks You’ve Been Doing Wrong All Along

If you’ve opened a banana this morning, odds are you may have done it wrong. Sure, you probably got the task done well enough, but there may have been a more efficient and less time-consuming way to do it.

And, if you’ve ever had an iced coffee and gotten upset when the last sip was nothing but melted ice, you’ll be excited to find out a way to stop that from ever happening again.

Just follow these life hacks and you’ll never wonder if there’s a better way to do a simple task again…

Dunk Cookies in Milk with a Fork

Have you ever tried to dip an Oreo cookie in milk but dropped it and gotten your fingers absolutely soaked in milk instead?

Instead of letting your cookie fall apart in an abyss of milk, use the tongs of a fork to support your cookie’s creamy filling and dip with ease!

Open a Banana from the Other End

The way that monkeys in nature actually open bananas is from the end with the nub, by pinching it together causing the peel to fall open. This method also removes the seed from the bottom of the banana, making it the better method overall.

Get a Drink Cold Quickly with a Wet Paper Towel

If you’ve ever had a room temperature drink that you wanted to get ice cold quickly, just soak a paper towel in water and wrap it around your drink before placing it in the fridge.

The wet paper towel will cause the drink to get colder faster and if you put the beverage in the freezer, it will take half the time to get perfectly cold.

Move a Heavy Object by Rolling it Across Tubes

If you need to move a heavy object, like a boulder in your backyard or a piece of machinery or furniture that is too heavy to lift, find some PVC pipes that are wider than the size of the object.

To move the object, place one pipe underneath it, then roll it across more pipes until you get the heavy object to its destination.
