When an army of designers and researchers worked out the shape of a bottle or an airplane seat, they didn’t rely on random chances, but made precise calculations for optimal benefits. However, the end user knows nothing about some of the important properties of these inventions. We have collected 14 familiar things that almost everyone uses incorrectly.
1. Hold the bottle
Notice how you and your friends hold beer bottles? Most likely all of you are holding it by the wide part, which is wrong. The bottle should be held by the long neck. This is true, first of all, for hot weather, because in this way the drink does not heat up from the heat of the hands.
2. French fries
McDonald's French fries packaging has a protruding part and a place to fold. If you plan on eating potatoes on the go, just pour sauce over that tongue and don't worry about it leaking.
3. Meat steak
It would seem, what could be difficult in the process of slicing a finished steak? We at the Novate.ru editorial office, like most people, were sure that the main thing was how to prepare it, and how it was - was no longer important. It turned out that the process of cutting ready-made meat has its own nuances. To prevent it from drying out and staying soft, it must be cut across the fibers.
4. Airplane seats
Airplane seat headrests sometimes have ear cushions. If you fold them down, it will be much more comfortable to sleep in flight. So the next time you board a plane, check your seat to see if you're in luck.
5. Garlic press
If you have a classic garlic press at home, we bet you are not using it to the maximum. In fact, before putting a clove of garlic in it, it is not necessary to peel it; you just need to cut off the dry tip.
6. Cream jar
Cosmetologists do not recommend picking up and applying face cream with your fingers. This is especially true for those who share one product with other family members. There are many microbes on the fingers and under the nails that get into the cream, and subsequently on the face. You can use a wooden or cotton swab instead of your fingers.
7. Elevator
According to Novate.ru, there is a little trick, thanks to which the elevator of a shopping center or underground parking will not stop on every floor. All you need to do is to simultaneously press the button for the desired floor and close the doors.

8. Clock icon
Even people who have been using Apple devices for many years do not know about all their chips. One of them is an interactive clock icon. Take a closer look at it and you will notice that the clock depicted on it shows real time.
9. Different types of plungers
A plunger is a practical device that everyone has in their home. Most often, this is the classic version with a bowl. So, this type is suitable for cleaning the drain pipe of the sink and bath, but it is ineffective for the toilet. It turns out that a special shaped plunger is needed to remove a blockage in the toilet.
10. Toothbrushes
Do you think colored bristles on toothbrushes are for beauty? But no, they are designed so that you notice changes in your instrument in time. If the bristles have lost their color, it's time to change your toothbrush.
