10 household tricks that don't actually work

Life hacking is a cheap and clever ways to solve everyday problems. As these tricks have become popular among millions of people around the world, there is nothing surprising in the fact that the Internet is now flooded with all kinds of Lithgow. Unfortunately, not every "smart solution" really works and will make life easier and better. The website has gathered for you the such life hacks.

Sandwiches with melted cheese in the toaster





According to legend: to get a great hot sandwich with melted cheese without the sandwich maker, enough to lay on the side of the toaster, and each slice of bread to cover the cheese. The toaster will toast bread and melt cheese.

In reality: first, turning the toaster into a supine position, we create a flammable situation that is not worth the sandwich. Secondly, this method is not so effective: the melted cheese can blur all around, jumping out of the toaster.

A nail instead of a corkscrew





According to the legend: if you hammer a nail into a wine cork and pull it with a claw hammer, the cork POPs from the bottle.

In reality: one nail in this situation can not do. Life hack works only if you drive in traffic a few nails and at the same time to extend them, which, in principle, it is difficult to imagine.

Storing batteries in the refrigerator





According to the legend: life hack should extend the life of batteries.

In reality: low temperature can cause quite the opposite effect — reducing their service life. In addition, the condensate can also cause corrosion and damage to the battery.

Pancakes from a bottle





According to the legend: the batter for pancakes can be made directly in a plastic bottle! And it is very easy to pour into the pan + less dirty dishes!
In reality: you need somehow to put the batter in the bottle, that in itself does not accelerate the process of cooking pancakes. Then you have to slowly and painfully squeeze it into the pan, while it is already starting to burn (unless you want to make pancakes for midgets).

Popcorn without kernels unsolved





According to the legend: when the popcorn bag inflated in the microwave, open it just enough whole grains fell, and the popcorn inside.

In reality: this advice works if you take the time to eat your popcorn. And the package will have to shake for a very long time, ensuring that all grain "leaked" through the popcorn and fell. Obviously, it is better to leave them at the bottom of the package.

Speakers from rolls of toilet paper





According to legend: from toilet paper rolls should be a good, loud speakers.

In reality: this life hack works well enough if you use a big ceramic mug as an amplifier. But an empty roll of toilet paper is bullshit.

Tennis ball instead of car keys





According to the legend: if you locked the keys in the car, you need to take holey tennis ball and squeeze the air out of it through the keyhole — supposedly the air has to push the right levers, and the lock will open.

In reality: this Board was very popular, and since then a whole bunch of Internet users have denied its effectiveness. Even "Mythbusters" did it.

The dissolution of rust Coca-Cola





According to legend: after immersion in Coca-Cola parts rust needs it to dissolve completely

In reality: in order that the rust has dissolved, you will have to wait quite a long time, but it is very unlikely that all the rust has dissolved completely. Much better to use special tools.

"Resurrection" banana Hairdryer





According to the legend: if the blackened banana taste bitter to blow the air from the dryer, it will gain its original appearance.

In reality: this life hack is also not working. No matter how much we dried banana, he's not yellow.

Coin in a flower pot





According to the legend: the copper in pennies works as an acidifier, which helps prevent the appearance of fungus or bacteria in a flower pot.

In reality: this life hack works only with old coins, because the new one contains much less copper.
