Toothpick Holder
Have you ever seen or used a toothpick that has two small ridges at one end? You may have never thought about why these are there, but you will be surprised to find out that it is actually pretty useful.
You’re meant to actually break that small part off and use it as a small holder for your toothpick. That way, you can put it down but not contaminate it until you’re ready to use it again. What a genius hack!
Spiky Caps
You may or may have noticed that a lot of tube containers have a cap that has a tiny little spike inside the hollowed out top. While these look like miniature torture devices, they’re actually incredibly useful for opening the package.
Anyone who has struggled with getting the small aluminum seal off the mouth of the tube before knows how frustrating it can get. The little spike in the cap helps by piercing a hole in the seal, breaking the air-tight sealing and making it easier to remove.
