Unusual uses of ordinary things in cooking. Car pranks or what will happen if you pour sugar into a gas tank. What can you put in

Hello to all DIYers, as well as summer residents and gardeners!

After harvesting potatoes from household plots, they often have to be transported from the dacha or from the village to the city. As a rule, potatoes are transported in plastic wicker bags of this type.

Usually, potatoes are poured into such bags in buckets, that is, they first put the potatoes in a bucket and then pour them into the bag. Moreover, to pour a bucket of potatoes into a bag, two people are needed - one holds the bag, and the other directly pours potatoes from the bucket into it.

However, it often happens that there is no partner nearby and, as a result, you have to pour potatoes from a bucket into a bag alone. But doing this alone is very inconvenient. However, there is a very simple trick that can make this task much easier and simpler.

So, to make the process of filling the bag easier, we need to, firstly, shorten the bag, and secondly, make it more rigid so that it stands on the ground or floor, like an ordinary large bucket.

To do this, you just need to turn half the bag inside out or, in other words, just wrap half the bag outward like this.

As a result, the bag will become shorter, and most importantly, much stiffer and it will be possible to straighten it and place it on the floor so that it will stand quite steadily.

After this, you can carefully pour the first bucket of potatoes into it.

If it is still difficult to pour the first bucket of potatoes into the bag in the usual way, then you can use the following technique: put the bag on top of the bucket, and then turn it over. As a result, the potatoes will end up in the bag.

To make the bag more stable, the potatoes poured into it can be additionally distributed by hand along the larger perimeter of the bottom of the bag.

After we have filled the first bucket, our bag, as a rule, becomes very stable and it becomes very easy to pour subsequent buckets of potatoes into it. Therefore, we pour a second bucket of potatoes into the bag.

And then the third and fourth.
Just remember to pull up the wrapped part of the bag each time so that it becomes higher.

And so, alone and quite easily, I already poured four buckets of potatoes into the bag. At the same time, the bag is very stable.

You can, of course, add more buckets, but in this case I won’t do this, otherwise the bag will be difficult to drag.

After we have poured the required number of buckets of potatoes into the bag, the wrapped upper part can be completely straightened and, for example, the bag can be tied if necessary. You can easily fill other bags in a similar way.

By the way, a similar technique of wrapping a bag can be successfully used not only for pouring potatoes or other vegetables, but also if you need to pour some kind of bulk cargo (sand, peat, humus, etc.) into the bag. and again there is no partner nearby and no one to hold the bag. Only in this case, I can still recommend using a large scoop of a suitable size instead of a shovel, since it will be much more convenient for them to pour the load into the bag.

Well, that's all for me! Bye everyone and less hard work!

Often on various automobile forums you can see such an unusual question: what happens if you pour sugar into a gas tank? The answer to it, if you look at it (you will see this below), is not so complicated. But the completely logical indignation of most motorists will become more understandable: how can sugar end up in the gas tank? They do not make tea or coffee, lollipops or even caramels here. What can a car tank and... sugar have in common? Let's take a closer look.

How can you tell if sugar has been poured into the gas tank?

Most often, sugar ends up in a car tank at someone’s whim, because, by definition, it cannot appear there on its own. In most cases, this can be “ordinary” pranks of hooligans, but there are also times when competitors try to disable vehicles in this way (before the start of various races, etc.). Therefore, the first thing you need to do to avoid this problem is to put a lock on the gas tank cap, which will become the first obstacle for those who want to misbehave.

For many car enthusiasts, the concept of “sugar in the gas tank” sounds like a kind of death sentence. However, let's figure out whether everything is really so complicated? To do this, we will conduct a small experiment, with the help of which we will try to determine whether sugar in the gas tank is really dangerous and what it has to do with the subsequent operation of the engine.

What happens when sugar gets into the gas tank?

One of the most popular legends is that sugar can greatly harm a car engine. Many of its supporters say that this sweet ingredient, entering the combustion chamber, forms a dense soot there after combustion, which gets on the walls of the piston and cylinder, as a result of which the power unit simply jams. Very similar to the truth.

Indeed, sugar, at high temperatures, caramelizes and can even burn, which is well known to culinary specialists. Therefore, for this problem to occur, it will be enough for it to get to the engine from the gas tank. At first glance, it seems that there will be no problems with this either - sugar, along with the fuel liquid, will fall into the fuel. But it is at this stage that all the fun begins.

Let's finally move on to the experiment, which we hope will give us answers to the questions that interest us. Just pay attention, if you want to repeat this experiment, to the fact that it should be performed outdoors and a mandatory condition is compliance with all safety standards - do not forget that gasoline is a flammable liquid that can harm your health.

For the experiment we will need:

  • sugar;
  • petrol;
  • glass container;

Pour gasoline into the container and then add sugar.

After we mix everything well, wait until our main ingredient dissolves.

And here the main surprise will await us. You can spend a lifetime waiting for sugar to dissolve, because, as it turns out, sugar does not dissolve in gasoline! As a result, we understand that the legends that tell us about jammed engines caused by sugar added to the gas tank are fiction!? Without a doubt, adding a “sweet white ingredient” to the gas tank will not go completely unnoticed for the engine - sugar, of course, will get onto the fuel system filters and, no matter how much you want it, will clog them.

Sometimes the most common things can be used in an unusual way. A selection of useful tips for every day; no one knows in advance what useful everyday trick or advice will help out in difficult times. Therefore, it is better to put all useful tips in a piggy bank until they are needed.

American Karen Eland became famous for painting fragrant coffee paintings, latte art never ceases to amaze with drawings on coffee, and crafts made from coffee beans are gaining more and more popularity. This product has also found its application in everyday life. After drinking a cup of this invigorating drink, do not rush to throw away the coffee grounds, they will still serve you. Often the most ordinary products can be used in unusual ways, and coffee is no exception.

  1. Insects are extremely stupid and stupid creatures - they don’t appreciate this divine drink at all, they can’t even stand it! By scattering dry coffee grounds in places favored by ants, you can easily get rid of their proximity - they will leave to look for a quieter place. And if you set fire to used coffee, that is, coffee grounds, such smoke will repel flies and wasps.
  2. Used coffee will also save you from cat chaos. If your mustachioed pet understands the meaning of the word “toilet” in a way that is more convenient for him, you can wean the bastard from messing around in the wrong place with the help of coffee grounds, which need to be mixed with dried and ground orange peel. Sprinkle this fragrant mixture in secluded places that the cat has chosen as a toilet, and enjoy the puzzled look of the mustachioed sly one.
  3. Coffee grounds are also used as flea shampoo. First, wash your pet with regular flea shampoo, and then wipe its fur with coffee grounds mixed with water. Rinse your pet thoroughly and he will not only get rid of fleas, but his fur will also become soft, silky and... fragrant. With a short-haired dog, this procedure is not difficult to do, but if the hair is long, you must rinse it thoroughly.
  4. Used coffee is a good helper in cleaning a fireplace or stove. Before you start cleaning the stove or fireplace, you need to throw wet coffee grounds there, this will protect you from ash dust.
  5. Coffee is an excellent ingredient for sachets. It is enough to put such a fragrant bag in the closet with clothes or linen, and your things will not only smell pleasant, but will also be protected from uninvited insects, for example, moths. It’s not difficult to prepare such a coffee sachet – just pour a little freshly ground coffee into a linen bag.
  6. Coffee can be used to remove scratches from dark wooden furniture. To do this, you need to dilute the coffee grounds with hot water to the consistency of gruel and rub it into the scratches. Coffee, of course, should be the finest grind.
  7. By rubbing dark leather items, such as handbags or gloves, with coffee grounds and glycerin, you can refresh the item and give it a beautiful shine. You can simply wipe the leather surface with a soft cloth or cotton wool moistened with very strong coffee.
  8. Sometimes a new leather bag has a rather unpleasant smell. You can get rid of it by sprinkling your handbag with ground coffee and leaving it like that for several hours, or even better, for the whole day. Of course, this option is only suitable for dark leather handbags.
  9. Used coffee is an excellent fertilizer for plants that love acidic soil. These include rose bushes, azaleas, rhododendrons, lilies, and many evergreen shrubs. Feed them coffee grounds, they love it very much.
  10. Coffee is great for cleaning ashtrays, eliminating unpleasant odors. Pour some coffee into a dirty ashtray, wipe with a damp cloth and rinse.

Unusual uses of Coca Cola


Strange as it may sound, Coca Cola is a really healthy drink, but not for our health. It’s not for nothing that they say that those who drink Coca-Cola in considerable quantities have livers like those of alcoholics - after all, the active ingredient of the drink is phosphoric acid. Its pH is 2.5 and this acid is used both for the production of carbonated drinks and for the production of fertilizers and textiles. Carry out this experiment: put a piece of raw meat in a glass of Cola and leave for a day. The result will discourage anyone from drinking the drink - the acid contained in Coca Cola will eat away at the meat into something resembling an open wound with gangrene. Imagine what happens to our stomach!

  1. They say Coca Cola can completely dissolve nails in just 4 days. I haven’t tried it, but I’m willing to believe it. I have heard more than once about the cleansing properties of this drink. Indeed, Coca Cola not only removes rust, dissolves chewing gum, and cleans plumbing fixtures, it is also added to laundry detergent for effectiveness. Let’s talk about these useful properties, so to speak, everyday ones.
  2. Use Coca Cola to clean your bathroom. Using Coke you will clean 3 main elements of the bathroom: bathtub, sink and toilet. Pour 1-2 glasses of drink into the toilet, close the lid and leave for an hour - death to bacteria! Then use a brush and clean the toilet as usual. When you're done, simply flush and enjoy the cleanliness of your toilet. In addition, Cola will also eliminate the unpleasant odor. Cola Cola will remove limescale and dirt from the sink and bathtub. Apply it directly to the surface and wipe with a cloth. It will also help clear the drain pipes of hair and other debris that has accumulated there.
  3. Remove fat with Coca Cola. A wonderful drink. It will help you clean your clothes not only from greasy “kitchen” stains, but also from machine oil if you get dirty while repairing your car. Soak the soiled items with Coca Cola - pour the drink directly onto the stain and leave for two hours. The acid contained in Cola will separate the fat from things and will not stain the clothes you use it on. If you are removing an oil stain from a surface, first blot off any excess oil with a towel, but do not rub to avoid making the stain larger! Then completely fill the stain with Cola and leave for 8-10 hours. Then soak up the remaining oil again with a towel and wash the stain first with warm water and dishwashing detergent, and then rinse off the soapy water with a hose.
  4. Another benefit of Coca Cola is that it perfectly cleans tiled floors and removes marker marks on the carpet.
  5. Use Coca Cola in your car. For example, instead of a glass cleaner, this is an effective remedy for dust and other dirt. Apply Cola to the windshield, then wipe it - Cola will eat away the dirt. Coca Cola is also an excellent tool for removing corrosion and oxidation on battery terminals. Apply the drink to problem areas and leave for a while. The acid contained in Cola will cope with corrosion. Remove any residue with a sponge.
  6. Get rid of rust with Coca Cola. Place the rusty object in a container with Cola and leave it for a day, and after removing it, wipe it with a towel. In the same way, you can add shine to old coins. By the way, Coca Cola will remove old rust stains from clothes. Wet the area where there is rust with Coca Cola, let the liquid “fight” with the stain for 5-10 minutes, then wash the clothes.
  7. Use Coca-Cola to clean burnt-on food from pans. Pour cola into the pan and bring it to a boil. Carbon dioxide and high temperature will do the job perfectly. By the way, by pouring Coca-Cola into a kettle and boiling it, you will get rid of scale.
  8. Surprisingly, among other things, Coca Cola makes the lawn incredibly green. Here's the recipe: Spray 1 cup of Coke, 1 cup of ammonia and a quarter cup of dishwashing detergent on the grass once a month.
  9. The benefits of Coca Cola for gardeners. Coca Cola will make excellent compost. Throw in straw, trash, old leaves and pour a can of cola on the pile. Turn once a month, adding water (not too much so as not to get too wet). After about a month, your compost is ready.
  10. Coca-Cola distributors in the United States have been using it to clean their truck engines for 20 years.
  11. American police officers wash off blood from the road surface with Coca-Cola: a few minutes - and the blood, even dried and ingrained into the asphalt, instantly comes off and is washed off with water.
  12. In some Asian countries, farmers use Coca-Cola to kill pests because it is cheaper than chemicals and has the same effect.

Unusual uses of Tea


A cup of tea? Perhaps... But don’t rush to throw the used tea leaves or tea bag into the trash! No, I’m not talking about pouring boiling water over again and drinking tea again. You already know that products are not only food, and tea is not only a drink. So, unusual uses of tea are on the agenda. Let's see what benefits the use of tea in everyday life can bring.

  1. The most common use of tea bags is as compresses to soothe tired eyes. Soak the tea bags in ice water or simply fill them with water and leave them in the refrigerator for a while. Tea will not only relieve redness and swelling, but also soothe tired eyes.
  2. Tea will also help with bruises. Apply a freshly brewed but already cooled bag of black tea to the bruised area and the bruise will go away much faster. The fact is that black tea contains tannins, which reduce swelling and constrict blood vessels. To achieve the best result, apply the compress twice a day, leaving it on for 20 minutes.
  3. Tea can be used as a remedy for sunburn. Wet tea bags will help ease the pain of a sunburn, and if your entire body is sunburned, take a tea bath.
  4. Tea will also help with razor cuts. A damp tea bag will reduce and soothe the aching pain of a razor cut.
  5. For acne, it is useful to wash your face with green tea.
  6. Tea will also help with problems in the oral cavity. Painful mouth sores may go away on their own, but if you want to speed up the process, soak a tea bag in water and then bite it with your teeth. Once applied to sore spots, the tea will relieve pain and speed up healing. You can also stop bleeding from a pulled out or lost tooth.
  7. Use tea to freshen your breath. Gargling with strong tea reduces bad breath.
  8. Use tea in the bathhouse, because poured onto the stones in the steam room, it will saturate the steam with the smell of herbs. Choose herbs for tea depending on the purpose. If you just want to saturate the steam room with aromatic steam, choose what you like best, but if you want to make it healthy, you should consider the following: green tea will improve the condition of the skin if it has scratches, sores or allergic rashes. If you want to relax well and relieve stress, pour tea made from chamomile, valerian root and yellow or black tea onto the sauna stove.
  9. Tea will help with sweaty feet. Do the following procedure before going to bed - soak your feet in warm tea for 10-15 minutes, then dry them with a towel.
  10. Tea absorbs odors perfectly. Use this property of tea to eliminate the unpleasant odor of your hands after cleaning fish or garlic. You can also use tea bags to deodorize your refrigerator or trash can by simply placing them there. And by placing lavender or other herbal tea bags in your car seat pockets, you'll get a natural air freshener.
  11. Used dry tea sprinkled around a pet's bed will help get rid of fleas, and the smoke from burning tea leaves will repel bloodthirsty mosquitoes. Neither does moth have warm feelings for tea. If you don’t want such a neighbor in your closet, sprinkle green tea on the shelves. It can be poured into small bags made of linen or gauze and hung in closets where woolen items are stored.
  12. Tea is an excellent organic fertilizer containing many nutrients. Use spent tea to feed plants. Remember that you cannot add wet tea leaves to the soil in large quantities, as this can cause the formation of mold and plant rot. Tea leaves should be applied to the soil before sowing seeds in the proportion of 0.5 kg of tea per 1 sq. m. soil. Using tea leaves as a top dressing effectively stimulates plant growth.
  13. With the help of drinking tea, you can restore the purity and shine of clothes made from dark natural fur. To do this, slightly damp tea should be poured evenly onto the fur laid out on a flat surface, left for a few minutes, then sweep away the tea leaves with a damp brush with stiff bristles in the direction of fur growth.
  14. If you are allergic to detergents, tea can be used to wash dishes. As strange as it may sound, tea actually has cleansing properties. Using a few re-brewed tea bags can remove dirt and grease from mirrors, glass, floors, kitchen countertops and unpainted wood furniture. Remember that after cleaning you need to wipe the surfaces dry, because tea is a good natural dye.
  15. The coloring properties of tea will also be used in everyday life. For example, when restoring the color of suede fabric. To do this, brew strong tea. Take the amount of tea leaves depending on the color of the fabric. For light brown fabric, brew tea from 1 tablespoon of dry tea leaves per 150 ml of water, if the fabric is dark brown, take 2 tablespoons of tea per 150 ml of boiling water. The color of the resulting tea should be a tone darker than the color of the fabric. Dampen a sponge with the strained tea and wipe the clean suede with it. Apply the tea evenly to avoid drips. Then dry the fabric well in the sun or in a dryer.
  16. Tea can be used to dye lace and macramé items. Strong tea will add a beautiful beige hue to lace napkins, tablecloths, table runners and macramé items. This is easy to do - pour a liter of boiling water over 2 tablespoons of tea, add 2 teaspoons of salt and simmer over low heat for 2-3 minutes. Place the items you want to color into the strained hot tea and leave for 10-15 minutes. Then rinse the items in cold water with vinegar. You can also dye tights this way.
  17. Tea will add beautiful color to Easter eggs. For a liter of water you need about 4 tablespoons of dry tea. Eggs should be boiled for 10-15 minutes, and to make the shells better colored, add 2 tablespoons of vinegar.
  18. Many people know the use of tea as a natural dye for dark hair. To do this, mix rosemary, sage, black tea and let it brew overnight. Strain and rub thoroughly into hair. If necessary, repeat again to obtain the desired color.
  19. Strong black tea added to the dough will give it a brown tint and make the products more ruddy.
  20. A mixture of black tea with 2 tablespoons of cornstarch will help remove ironed lines from dark clothing. Using a spray bottle, spray problem areas before ironing. If your suit or other clothes become shiny, wipe them with a piece of flannel soaked in strong black tea. Fabric treated with tea will stop being shiny and will take on a fresh and renewed look.

Unusual uses of Vodka


At least one way to use vodka is familiar to everyone - internally. But besides this, vodka can bring considerable benefits. Considering that vodka is an excellent antiseptic, fat solvent and preservative, it is widely used in everyday life, replacing many different means.

  1. Vodka has tonic, disinfectant, and astringent properties. When used externally, vodka has an excellent antipyretic effect - after all, as is known, with the rapid evaporation of alcohol, the surface of the skin cools. At high temperatures, it is recommended to rub the patient’s back and chest with vodka, but you should not wrap him warmly after this, this will prevent the evaporation process.
