Sleep With A Bar Of Soap Under Your Sheets

trick1

Guess what? Some say sleeping with a soap bar under your sheets can stop your leg cramps at night. Sounds weird, right? But it’s true! This idea became so popular that it was even discussed on a TV show called “The Doctors.” They asked their viewers, and 40% said sleeping with soap helped their leg cramps or made their restless legs feel better.

Some folks think that soap sends tiny particles, called ions, into your body, and these ions make their way to your nerves and calm your cramps. No doctors have extensively studied this yet, but if your legs bother you at night, why not try it? You’ve got nothing to lose!

Miracle Sheets – The Cleanest Sheets Ever Invented

trick2

The rapidly expanding Miracle Brand company has developed bed linens that are self-cleaning and self-cooling. You hardly ever see their sheets on store shelves anymore because millions of Americans hurried to purchase them as soon as word spread about how effectively they perform.

Because Miracle Sheets use thread treated with silver to eradicate 99% of the bacteria typically present in cotton bedding, they are the cleanest sheets available. Thanks to a unique alloy, the sheets are incredibly supple while utilizing silver’s capacity to disperse heat. As a result, there is no sweat or bacterial growth, and the sheets are always comfortable and cool. Incredible!

Adopting this bedding by luxury hotels and Airbnb may be the best-kept secret, but it’s already going viral online.

Randomly Placed Buttons on Jeans

trick3

Avid jeans wearers are undoubtedly aware of all the extra buttons scattered about their pants, usually around their pockets. Yes, it seems odd, but you’ve probably just accepted that’s how jeans are made. But those buttons have an essential purpose. First, they’re technically called rivets, even if they resemble buttons.

More importantly, they are strategically placed on the jeans to prevent them from getting worn out at the seams and ripping. Imagine that happening at an inopportune time, and you’ll be glad your jeans are appropriately riveted. It’s interesting to note that jean tycoon Levi Strauss owns the patent on these rivets.

The idea emerged in 1829 after miners complained about how quickly their jeans wore out. Young Mr. Strauss came up with a solution to the problem, and now jeans seem to practically last forever.

PowerSaver Pro – Plug This In, Watch Your Electric Bill Drop Up To 90%

trick4

Guess what? Power companies are getting nervous because of a super cool gadget that can make your electricity bill way cheaper – up to 90%!

The gadget is called PowerSaver Pro, a revolutionary device using technology that traces back to the ingenious mind of the legendary inventor Nikola Tesla—a maestro in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and futurism.

This groundbreaking technology was initially kept under wraps, a hidden gem for average families seeking to trim down their monthly energy bills. PowerSaverPro is a compact, affordable, and user-friendly plug-in unit designed to halt unnecessary power from flooding electrical cables, prevent network overload, and ultimately save you money the power companies would otherwise be charging you for.

PowerSaverPro is the power company’s worst nightmare. The game-changing device, kept hush-hush and even banned in retail outlets, poses a significant threat to Big Energy’s profit margins.

Dish Soap Used In The Toilet

trick5

With endless products claiming they can make your toilet look brand new, it can be hard to sift through them all and figure out which one to buy. Rather than spending money and time wasted, there’s something in your house already that you can use. And it’s not what you might think. Dish soap is the answer you’ve been looking for. And it couldn’t be any more straightforward to use. Take 1/4 cup of dish soap + 1/4 cup of baking soda + 1/4 cup of water.

Mix them together, then pour them into the toilet. Stir the solution, then let it sit overnight. The next morning, do a light scrub, and your toilet will look brand new! You can also use dish soap to unclog a toilet without a plunger. Simply put 1 cup of soap into your toilet, let it sit for 30 minutes, and then take hot water and pour it into the bowl. The clog will be gone.

This Inexpensive Lamp Kills Up To 10,000 Mosquitoes Per Lamp, Per Day

trick6

Like a lot of people, we relocated from the city to a more suburban area during Covid, and love having our own backyard. However, within about a week of enjoying our backyard life, we came crashing head on with the fact that mosquitos are VERY much a huge issue. Our kids had huge welts, some even got infected. Even more startling was when our pediatrician pointed out that mosquitos kill over ONE MILLION humans per year and should not be taken lightly.

We spent over $1,500 that summer paying one of those local Mosquito Spraying places to spray our yard with toxic chemicals. It was a horrible idea, and really had no effect. Then, one of our neighbors tipped us off on the Zappify Lamps. They were setting these inexpensive lamps up on their patio and even in their house, and each morning there were HANDFULS of of dead mosquitos in each unit.

They must have had the only backyard on the block where we could actually sit outside all night and not get ‘eaten alive’ by bugs. Needless to say, we bought a few Zappify Lamps and within days, our mosquito population crashed immensely. Check out the videos and grab a discount here:

Flat Takeout Boxes

trick7

We’ve all ordered Chinese takeout before, brought it home, and dumped it out onto our own plates. Either that, or we just eat it straight out of the carton. However, we’re sad to inform you that you’re doing it all wrong. The reason that Chinese (and other food) takeout boxes are flat is that they are designed to be their own plate.

While the food is still inside the container, you can (easily but carefully) pull the sides apart and set it flat on the table. If you did everything correctly, your meal will be sitting on a flat and perfectly usable plate. It’s crazy how easy it is to pull this off and even crazier that more people don’t realize why takeout containers are shaped as they are.

Holes in Padlock

trick9

At a certain point in our lives, we’ve all used a padlock for one reason or another. You may or may not have noticed that there’s a little hole, sometimes two, at the bottom of the padlock. These holes actually serve two important purposes for the lock itself. First, they allow any water that gets inside to drain out of the lock.

Often times, locks are used outside, so they have to be prepared to handle the elements. If water couldn’t drain out and it ended up freezing, the lock would suffer some serious damage since water expands when it freezes. Second, the holes allow you to pour oil or WD-40 into the lock in case it gets jammed and won’t open up. Without the hole for pouring oil, once the lock became stuck, it’d be useless.
