These useful tips have rapidly entered our lives along with the development of social networks. No one doubted their effectiveness and stored them in "saved" messages. But when it came time to test life hacks in practice, it all turned into one big misunderstanding. What is worth wasting your time and money on?
Exposure of life hacks is not the rarest topic on the Internet. But why do people persist in relaying bad advice? Let's look at some examples you may have missed.
1. Excess volumes will go away faster if you wrap yourself with cling film for the duration of your workout.
This is a fairly common myth. Indeed, for some time you will get rid of a small amount of "unnecessary weight", but you will do this at the expense of water loss. In addition to the fact that it is dangerous (water is needed for muscle elasticity, collagen production, etc.), everything lost will also return after drinking a glass of water.
If you decide to run or do fitness, then try to make this process as enjoyable as possible. And leave the film and plastic bags in the kitchen.
2. Using two plates, you can evenly cut cherry tomatoes
Cherry is a variety of tomatoes, which is distinguished by its small size. It may seem to someone that cutting them separately is a monotonous and tedious task. It is these hustlers who offer to place the tomatoes between the plates, hold tightly, and then “neatly” cut all the tomatoes in half at once. Miracle? Not! Because cutting exactly the tomatoes will not work. And instead of prepared ingredients for a salad, you can get tomato paste.
3. If your kitchen board has a hole, don't use it as a pen!
The authors of the life hack suggest using a hole in the board to throw food into a pot or pan through it. This will help not to scatter provisions past. It is not clear why the guys cannot carefully pour the sliced \u200b\u200bjust from the edge of the board. So you can also calculate the flight path of the pieces so as not to be scalded with boiling water or oil. What if the hole is too small? In general, absolutely illogical advice.
4. Straw for strawberries
If you want to de-leaf your strawberries, pierce the strawberries right through using a cocktail straw. The result should be a small even hole.
The life hack is working, but there is one caveat: why leave some of the pulp in the tube? The leaves are easily removed by hand without damaging the berry itself. And if you are afraid of getting dirty, then use special tools to remove the stalks.
5. To determine your jeans size, use the neck
This "wisdom" is worthy to lead the next top people's councils. If you urgently need to buy jeans, but there is no time to try them on, then wrap their belt around your neck. If the edges of the product converge, then this is your size!
This tip can work for people with ideal proportions. Agree, such people are the exception rather than the rule. Clothing must be selected, focusing on your type of figure. Otherwise, you risk wasting not only time, but also money.
6. If there are scratches on the phone screen, then an eraser and toothpaste will help get rid of them.
Life hackers offer this method to fix minor scratches, for example, if the phone has been dropped. Weird. Usually, if the smartphone falls, then imperceptible scratches are an unlikely outcome. And if you still rub?
If you decide to use the life hack, you are a daredevil! Well, if nothing happens to your phone. Bad - all the flaws will become more noticeable. In this case, it is better to contact the service center and change the screen glass.
7. Tea bags fight bad shoe odor
Do not put tea bags in your shoes: not at night, not for an hour, and even for 15 minutes! Leave them for a pleasant pastime with friends, and it is better to wash the shoes and use special products to eliminate the smell in the future.
8. To separate the grains from the finished popcorn, you need to give them a good bashing!
Another contender for "gold" in our top. To sort edible and non-edible popcorn, advisers recommend slightly opening the bag with contents and, turning it over, shake: the airy goodies will remain in the bag, and small grains fall out.
It is unlikely that advice can be called efficient if all the popcorn is on the floor.

9. If you want to wash the stove less often, cover it with car wax
Be careful! This product is toxic. In addition, if the fire is handled carelessly, the wax coating can ignite easily. Still, washing the stove is easier than putting out a fire.
10. Upgraded trash bags
Given: to easily get the garbage bag out of the bucket, you need to make several holes at the bottom of this bag.
Solution: work advice. But will the stench or a bucket of waste liquid suit you at home?
Answer: do not be lazy to throw out the garbage on time and do not forget to sort it.
We value our time and try to find simple ways to make our lives easier. But life is a complicated thing, and often we have to pay for our laziness with a higher level of energy consumption than was originally intended.
