Summary:
Unless you’re irrationally inquisitive, there’s a number of features on things that you use every day that you probably never even noticed. However, these things aren’t always just for show and have an intended purpose. Lots of little things in life actually have some pretty useful tricks behind them that can significantly help us live much easier lives.

43. Toothpicks: Some toothpicks are designed with tiny indentations on the opposing side of the pick. These indentations aren’t just for aesthetics or just to make sure you know which end is which. Once detached, the indented part of the toothpick serves as a holder for hygienic purposes.

42. Extra fabric: The extra piece of fabric that comes along with your clothes isn’t actually to use as a patch. This is what most people might think and then throw away. it’s actually there to use as a tester in the laundry machine to see how the fabric reacts to different detergents or bleaches.

Speaking of fabric, have you ever wondered what the little pom pom on the tops of hats are for? Well, stick around until the very end to find out!

41. Bobby pins: There’s a reason bobby pins have a side that features a zigzag-like groove. Some people aren’t aware of the grooved side’s purpose and put in their bobby pin in any way. However, the grooves help the hairpin hold the hair better, which means the grooved part should face towards the scalp.

40. Spaghetti Spoon: Anyone who regularly boils up a pot of pasta will be familiar with a spaghetti spoon. Spaghetti spoons are distinguishable by their forked edge and a hole in the ladle-like area of the utensil. One might imagine that this hole’s main purpose is to strain the water when ladling out pasta, but there’s more to it than that. According to Today.com, the hole actually fits the size of exactly one serving of spaghetti so that when you’re making your meal you can accurately measure it. Those who can really go to town on a bowl of pasta might not be satisfied by the spoon’s suggested serving portion. However, at least once you start counting how many servings you’re making, it can be a useful tool to make sure you aren’t making too much or too little.

39. Makeup products: Take a look at any of your makeup products. You’ll notice a symbol that resembles a little container. Inside of the container symbol, you’ll also notice a “6M”, “12M” or “24M” written beside it. The numbers stand for the shelf life of your makeup. This is a great way to make sure that you’re not using expired products on your precious skin. 6M indicates that it will go bad after 6 months, 12M is for 12 months and 24M is for two whole years. So keep track of when you purchase these items and if they are past their expiration date, throw them out!
