This Video Puts 16 Holiday Life Hacks to the Test


The holidays are the perfect time for life hacks. People are decorating, baking, and wrapping gifts, so a few tips for making it all a little easier are a no-brainer. This video puts 16 of the most popular tips and tricks to the test.

In this video from the Mental Floss YouTube channel, the always entertaining John Green gives a pass or fail on 16 various life hacks. There are some tips that work pretty well, like using an inverted chip bag as last minute wrapping paper, turning wine glasses upside down for impromptu candle holders, and wrapping your wrapping paper with foil to foil its incessant desire to unroll itself. You can also store ornaments in egg cartons, use condiment bottles to make icing cookies easier, and use a bread tab to save your place on a roll of tape. Per usual, the fails are hilarious and more entertaining to watch.
