I don’t like to be wrong. I’m definitely one of those people who likes to be right, and who likes to do things the right way.
I tend to think that my way is the best way. So, I go about my daily life, doing the things we all do without really thinking. We cook, we clean, we eat and drink. These are all things we do around the house without actually considering why we do them the way we do. Did we learn our household habits from our parents? It’s hard to tell and even harder to remember. All I know is that there are certain things we have just always done, and always done them a certain way. Well, imagine finding out that you’ve been doing those things wrong all along. Enjoy this list of normal, everyday things that most of us do out of habit, but are actually doing completely wrong.
1. Peeling Hard Boiled Eggs Just Got Much Easier
Peeling hard boiled eggs is tedious, messy, and often, they don’t turn out well. No one wants to serve deviled eggs that look like they were peeled by Edward Scissorhands. All you have to do is tap the top and bottom of the egg on the counter, remove the pieces of shell, place your lips on one end and blow. A perfectly peeled egg pops right out!
2. Your Ketchup Bottle Has A “Sweet Spot”
We’ve all done it, but turning your ketchup bottle upside down and hitting the bottom as hard as you can, doesn’t actually help the ketchup come out. And you look silly. Find the tiny “57” on the neck of the bottle and give it a little tap. Ketchup comes right out.
3. Applesauce Actually Comes With A Spoon
Did you pack a handy single serve container of applesauce and forget to pack a spoon? Have no fear, you can still enjoy it. Remove the foil top, twist half of it, and make yourself a convenient little spoon.
4. There’s A Reason For The Hole In Your Spaghetti Spoon
I always make too much or too little when I’m cooking spaghetti. But, it turns out that hole in my spaghetti spoon actually measures a perfect serving of pasta.
