3. Soda cans are filthy, but if they're particularly gross, they can usually be rinsed before opening. On the other hand, I grew up where there was a separate tap for drinking water, and drank out of the hose. I have an immune system that would rival that of a scavenger.

[richardderuiter]

You missed one.
On the left side of the steering column of all automobiles is a small lever. It's not just for decoration. It's actually meant to be used to to turn on the flashing lights in the front and back left or right side of your car to let other drivers know you're about to make a turn. They're called blinkers or indicators and that little lever there is the indicator switch. ;-)

On our first gas cook stove, the bottom drawer was used as a broiler or toaster.

[micheledeetlefs]

No, the drawer under your oven is NOT a warming drawer. Many manufacturers simply do not intend it to be used this way and have insulation in the oven to prevent heat from reaching this area. You have to read the manufacturers instructions. My oven's instructions, for example, specifically stated it was to be used for pan storage and not for warming purposes.

I've only just realised this channel is back, nice one! It's almost nostalgic seeing and hearing Mike lol.

[cristinesplinis]

I knew a bunch of these, but you did legit teach me a few new ones. ❤️

[readerrabbit]

I was flabbergasted by the French’s mustard cap. Ran to my fridge and tested it… my whole life flashed before my eyes

[newshodgepodge]

Back in the day that drawer beneath the oven used to do more than just "warm" your food. That used to be where the broiler was.

[retrozetti]

Two quick mentions…
1) Though the word “pom pom” has been “dumbed down” in recent history, to the point it’s now used 50%+ of the time, and accepted beyond colloquial English… it’s historically (correctly) spelled “pompon.” Yes, one word, no space nor hyphen, and ending with an “n.”
2) Those genius tabs you push in to hold in place rolls of foil & plastic wrap… I’ve personally tried relying on them multiple times, only to always have it end in tears and cussing. In short, they’re worthless & useless.
However, in closing, you guys ROCK!!!

[MNTNSTARZ.]

Jeans used to have rivets in the crotch seam because that's a stress point when riding horses.
The rivets were removed because cowboys would stand close to the fire to cook or warm up and the rivets got really hot.
Poor guys were burning their package.
So manufacturers removed them, came up with sturdier seams

[caseyspeaks]

In Canada we wear toques with pom-poms. Toques keep the head and ears warm but doesn't need the pom-pom; beanies only cover the top of the head - and generally had little propellers.

[grandpasquishy]

The small pocket on the right front pocket on jeans is for a pocket watch.

That's not a spaghetti spoon. That's a back scratcher. 😉

[DanandDonna]

One other gem.... If you have a pot of spaghetti or what ever that is about to boil over, simply place a wooden spoon across the top of the pot. It will stop the bubbles and water from floating over the top.

I'm so glad you're back! I believe a lot of your content could be used in schools and make some learning FUN.

[pamelasabados]

My husband and I were both today years old when we found out that handles of most screwdrivers are made that way to allow use of a wrench to provide torque. 🤯🤯

[fenix]

The wrench you used for number 4 isn't actually a wrench. It is a vice grips.

[richewilson]

You can lay your utensils across your pots and pans when they're boiling water to disperse the surface tension of your liquid that is boiling so it doesn't boil over. essentially you are popping a bubble before it gets over the edge.

[robertgonzalez]

The two holes on the bottom of converse all stars are for drainage.

Some boots have the same holes.

[luvjesus]

You can use a dryer sheet to clean a broiler pan that is burnt by placing a dryer sheet in the bottom of pan & adding hot water . Let it soak for bout 30 minutes & then get rid of the dryer sheet & wash the pan normally, just be sure to rinse very well or your food will taste like softener
