Having Aluminium Foil Troubles?
Often, we forget most of the small details about the items we use daily. These details can make a difference in our lives, but we seldom think about them. For example, some people struggle with keeping aluminum foil boxes in place when unrolling sheets, but the solution has always been there.

How To Actually Pour Milk
Anyone in their right mind would pour the liquid with the spout closest to the receptacle. But when the milk carton is full, there’s a good chance it will spill because the fluid gets pushed out by its own weight, and the air doesn’t flow. Don’t cry over spilled milk! Here’s the correct way.
Simply pour from the other side of the carton. A small hole in the spout allows air to flow in and out, so the pressure remains neutral, and the liquid flows smoothly.
