Did you know that on boxes of Reynolds aluminum foil and Saran Wrap plastic wrap there are tabs to push in on the ends? After doing so, the roll won’t jump out and onto the floor when you are pulling.
I did not know that until I heard it on the radio this morning.
What are some other cool things about products to share?
I was 29 years old the day my husband asked me why I was shaking the toaster upside down over the trash can.
“It’s full of crumbs!” I said.
“Why don’t you just open the little trapdoor on the bottom of it?” he asked.
:eek:
:smack:
I’ll be damned if there wasn’t a little trapdoor on the bottom of the toaster! I was even more amazed when my husband informed me that most toasters had had this feature for years. Who knew!
I’m not going to search, but this has already been a topic here on SDMB.
How about the bracket on the inside of your gasoline trap door that acts as a holder for your gas cap whilst filling? It took me a few weeks to realize that one.
Well, I sure didn’t know about the flaps. But apparently my wife did. Both sides are already pushed in. I wonder why they don’t add that step to the packaging process. I guess it keeps the foil clean during shipping?
I found the tabs on the foil box when I was a kid and pushed them in. Then my mom complained at me that the foil was too hard to pull out of the box. I didn’t push them in anymore.
Last night, I figured out how to adjust the resistance on the stationary bike I was riding at the Y. For the past week, I’ve been about ready to give up because it seemed so easy that it hardly seemed worth it. Last night, I was messing around with the functions and discovered it (even though one of the employees had showed me how to use it before I started and hadn’t mentioned this function).
Of course, now it’s much more difficult to do, but I keep telling myself that’s a good thing. :dubious:
