Top 10 popular lifhacks that do not work

Lifshaki prompts us with simple and effective ways to solve common problems that simplify life and increase productivity. For example, a simple trick with a speaker for the phone - just put the phone in a deep bowl, preferably not plastic - and voila!

Despite the fact that many of the popular lifhaks are useful and effective, there are those that do not always justify wasted time and effort. The next lifhak should be avoided in everyday life.

Sandwiches with melted cheese in a toaster

According to the legend, to get an excellent hot sandwich with melted cheese, without wasting the sandwich, it is enough to lay a toaster on the side and cover each slice of cheese with cheese. The toaster will roast the bread and melt the cheese.

It would seem easy! But this is not so. Firstly, turning the toaster into a prone position, we create a fire-dangerous situation, which is not worth the sandwich. Secondly, this method is not so effective - the melted cheese can stain everything around, jumping out of the toaster.

Wooden spoon on a boiling pan

This lifhak says that the liquid does not boil out of the pan, if you put a wooden spoon on it. In fact, this method is effective only when boiling on low heat. If the dish is brewed at full capacity, then no wooden spoon will save it from boiling.

A nail instead of a corkscrew

The legend says, then if you drive nails into a wine stopper and pull a nailhead for it, the cork will pop out of the neck. In fact, one nail in this situation is indispensable. Lifshak works only if you drive a few nails into the cork and simultaneously pull them out. In principle, it is difficult enough to even imagine. If you open a bottle of wine in a building goods store, where there is no corkscrew, but there are a bunch of nails and nails, you can try. Although it is best in this case to replace the nail with a long screw. So it will be more effective.

Storage of batteries in the refrigerator

One very strange lifhak offers us to store batteries in the refrigerator, which supposedly increases the duration of their storage and operation. Rather, on the contrary, a low temperature spoils the batteries, and condensation can cause corrosion.

Pancakes from a bottle of ketchup

According to the legend, storing dough for pancakes and distributing it in a frying pan is easiest from the bottle, which used to store ketchup or sauce. In fact - not easier. First, the dough should be poured there. Try to achieve this without spilling a drop. Secondly, from a tiny dispenser, the dough pours out so slowly that it is impossible to fry one big pancake evenly. I'll have to settle for pancakes with a diameter of three centimeters.

Ideally sliced cherry tomatoes

This lifhak promises to save us time, without losing quality. We all love it. So, in order to perfectly cut in half several cherry tomatoes (or grapes) at the same time, you need to clamp them with one hand between the two covers, and another with a large knife horizontally in the center. On paper, this idea looks great, but as soon as it repeats itself in the real conditions of the average kitchen, tomato juice is everywhere, and tomato puree remains on the covers. To this lifhak worked, you need to find perfectly strong, but ripe cherry tomatoes, which do not ripple from one pressing of the lid. In addition, a large kitchen knife is best replaced with a sharpened Japanese katana, then everything will be perfect, even a lid should not be clamped.

Popcorn without unsolved grains

According to this method, getting rid of undiscovered grains is surprisingly easy, just open the bag slightly and shake it - all the grains will fall through a small hole. Fall out, they fall out, but be prepared to shake for a long time. It is much easier to shake popcorn in a bowl, so that all undiscovered grains remain at the bottom.

Columns from rolls of toilet paper

According to the legend, if you insert a phone into an interconnected tape with a structure made of cardboard sleeves from toilet paper, you will get an excellent sound amplifier. If you are not ready to spend time on questionable engineering and searching for the answer to the question: "Is this lifefake not working, or are the hands crooked?", Then save it by getting an answer. Life does not work! A pile of cardboard just muffles the sound. It is better to use a bowl.

Tennis ball instead of car keys

If you left the keys in a closed car, this lifhook promises a simple solution. Just put a tennis ball to the door lock and squeeze it hard. According to the propagandized theory, the airflow will move the thrust and open the door. Curious, but implausible. There is no confirmation of this lifhak, but there are more than enough refutations.

Medication from the poison of jellyfish

This lifhak says that the jellyfish sting is perfectly treated with urine. How is the idea that the liquid that removes toxins from the body, has medicinal properties, has become popular - it is unclear. Especially it concerns the bites of poisonous creatures. Urine only hurts, intensifying the irritation from the poison.
