Don’t want to set the whole yard on fire just because of one or two mins having fun with the sparklers? Then it would be best to light from the bottom.#3 We can adjust our steering wheels both forward and backward.

And you know what’s even better? Certain car models can even save the steering positions of at least three people!#4 We can clean our razor’s interior.

Unless you want a hands-on experience of what a choking person would feel, DON’T stuff the whole piece into your mouth.#12 We should never roll our sleeping bags while packing.

Great news for short people! Long gone are those days when these darn things burn holes in your eyes.#14 We can stick painter tapes on the walls to catch drywalls.

Hard to believe, but this method works miracles! A salt is also a nice option if you don’t have any rice left.#20 Weather reports measure temperature in the shades.
