Sure, any little cleaned out bottle would work fine for storing a nice vinaigrette, or something similarly light and thin. But does anyone believe for a second that the lifehackers aren't trying to cram 400 calories of buttermilk ranch in there? Now imagine what that awkwardly shaped plastic container smells like after the fifth unsuccessful attempt to scrape all the day- and week- and month-old ranch crusting up along the insides. Focus, as best you can, on that sickly sweet aroma, with its powerfully-chemical preservative smells, its near-overwhelming currents of spoiled dairy, and the slightest hint of artificial "zesty" to finish the palate. Mmmm.

Unlikely; they go to Sam's Club and get the big box of Mio every month, but they only eat salad once a week.

I guess that depends on where you live because they are $3.50 even at the Walmart which guarantees low prices (always). The only ones I ever had were from a Kraft salesman since the things are so expensive I'd never buy them.

Around here they are usually 1.50-2 bucks for brand name ~3 for the Energy Drink ones and 1ish for store brand. I have a bunch in my cabinet I never use because one time I was in an Albertsons and they were on clearance for .50 cents each and I had a coupon for 1.50 off a purchase of three. I think they taste like poo poo TBH but they can be useful for making quick flavored shots/cocktails at parties and the like.

I will also vouch for their effectiveness in mixed drinks. Had a vodka + red mio drink at a party, and saying this as a person who doesn't usually like vodka, it was pretty good.

Why bother at that point? I have some store-brand Mio knockoff that I keep in my desk at work and use every so often when I want to shake things up. I drink a lot of water at work.

You wouldn't want to drink it plain without at least running it through a brita. This is what makes them useful for me. The tap water here isn't palatable at all, so I drink more tea than I do plain water. Sometimes I don't have time to make tea, and powdered/liquid drink mixes are easier to carry home from the store than bottled water. I've tried water filters and while they do improve the taste a bit, none of them seem to do anything about the smell.

Lifehck: Drink Mio straight from the bottle. Just drink it. All of it. Drink all the Mio all at once. And then buy another bottle and drink that one too and then repeat the process. Repeat it forever. just drink every Mio and then die and leave a corpse that is mostly Mio syrup. And then? Then your family will drink YOU. DRINK. THE loving. MIO.

19 RUBBER BAND HACKS!!!11!1 Diply: At the forefront of internet shitposts since 2013. However, this article is interesting: quote:Diply.com – Fastest Growing Website in Internet History Source The source article goes on to suck more clickbait dick, but let me get this straight: They claimed to be the "fastest growing website in internet history," then, to prove this horseshit claim, they paid a company to corroborate their claim? Yeah, not in the least bit suspect...

Some doors lock automatically when closed and without propping they usually close behind you. This seems mostly like a truck for smokers.

At my job we have three closets, two of which we've lost the keys which also contain loud mechanical... stuff. If the doors ever shut properly, they will lock and we'll have to break down and call a locksmith. But for now, a poo poo ton of duct tape does the trick.

My favourite of those is the 'label your plugs' one, which is clearly not a rubber band, but that other perennial favourite item of lifehackers and buzzfeeders everywhere, washi tape.

In fact, the only reason they got caught was they kept putting the tape back on after the security guard ripped it off. Eventually he got suspicious and went up to check things.

Cover a toilet paper tube in tin foil for a decorative and functional clasp for your rolls of wrapping paper. http://www.littlethings.com/he-covers-a-toilet-paper-roll-with-tin-foil-the-results-brilliant/ I'll be generous: 80% of this whole list is stupid, obvious, or needless bullshit. There's maybe 20% that's a halfway decent (albeit obvious) idea.
