10 LIFE HACKS for SUMMER


guys summer is here and we’ve got ten
cool life hacks to help you have fun in
the Sun if you use loose ice to keep all
of your food cool you’re gonna end up
with a puddle of water and all of your
food floating in it instead of that use
some frozen water bottles to keep your
food cool the ice will stay contained in
the bottles and once it melts you can
just drink the water for a fun twist on
a summer treat you can actually
carbonate many types of fruit using dry
ice some of my favorites are
strawberries grapes or sliced pineapple
put your fruit in a cold safe container
on top of the dry ice separated by a
piece of cardboard to prevent excessive
freezing cover the box with a sheet of
foil you don’t want to use any sort of
lid that will allow the pressure from
the dry ice to build up after about half
an hour the fruit will have absorbed a
lot of carbon dioxide out of the dry ice
it’s pretty hard to see on video the
difference in the fruit but as you eat
it it fizzes just like a soda maybe more
using a water melon a couple of plastic
plumbing parts and a few simple tools
you can make a fun drink dispenser
tiki torches are a great outdoor
decoration but the standard lamp oil
that they use only burns in one color
try using methanol as a fuel add boric
acid for a green tint or the lithium
from a lithium battery for magenta
always wear gloves when you’re handling
the lithium don’t let it get wet and if
you’re gonna be burning the fuel make
sure you’re doing it somewhere outside
where you won’t be breathing in the
fumes yogurt is a delicious summertime
treat but there can be a couple
frustrating things about it the first is
its tendency to squirt out some yogurt
as you peel back the foil by lifting up
the foil with the edge of the spoon all
of the escaping yogurt will be caught
right where you need it occasionally you
may find after finishing a cup of yogurt
that your spoon is too heavy and you
can’t get it to stay up to avoid getting
yogurt on your table and keep your cup
from tipping simply turn your spoon
upside down the redistribution of weight
should make it stay up if you’re a big
fan of Wendy’s Frosty’s but don’t live
anywhere near one of the restaurants
here’s a simple recipe you can follow to
make your own start with 2 cups of
chocolate milk
3 tablespoons of sweetened condensed
milk and if you want to add just a
little bit extra that’s not gonna hurt
add 1 tablespoon of malted milk powder
finally add one cup of Cool Whip mix
together until it’s all smooth if you
own an ice cream making machine you can
easily pour the whole concoction into
that and let it sit for about 15 to 20
minutes if not you can pour all this
into a ziploc bag surround that bag with
ice and salt in a larger bag and mix it
if you’re ever on a road trip and
wondering how long it is to you arrive
just look for signs that say how many
miles it is to the next city when you
see a sign that says distance to your
city take the number of miles times 60
then divide by your speed in miles per
hour to get the time remaining for
example if it’s 35 miles to the next
city multiply that times 60 and you’ll
get 2100 divide 2100 by 80 miles per
hour and you get twenty six point two
five which is the number of minutes just
over 26 minutes until you arrive at your
destination of course most people these
days have GPS but it’s a cool trick to
know just in case you don’t ice does a
great job of keeping drinks cold but if
your
in a hurry to cool down a can or a
bottle it works a lot better to use ice
salt and water the ice by itself
measures a temperature of about 30 to
maybe 33 degrees Fahrenheit whereas the
ice with the water and the salt on it is
measuring a chilly 21 degrees Fahrenheit
you can see that after only about two
minutes the can in the salty ice water
is almost 10 degrees colder than the can
in the ice alone we don’t just have to
rely on the thermometer let’s give it a
taste test noticeably cooler doesn’t
really seem like it just came out of the
noticeably colder and it only took about
two minutes you’ve used plenty of
lighter fluid but your barbeque charcoal
is still taking too long to light
shorten your prep time by using the
blower function on a shop vac a
hairdryer or if you don’t have
electricity a simple balloon pump these
balloon pumps are great because they
work as a bellows that push air out on
both the pull and the push if you’re
looking for a way to keep your drinks
cold without watering them down try
freezing a few different types of soda
fruit flavored ice cubes worked pretty
well in all the fruit flavored sodas and
I find that cream soda works well in all
the other flavors creamy hey guys thanks
