Trying Tik Tok Life Hacks So You Don't Have To
Entertainment
Introduction
In today's exploration of TikTok life hacks, I dove into several popular trends, testing them out so you don't have to. From emoji filters to food combinations, and even some surprising science tricks, join me as I document my journey through these viral ideas!
Emoji Filter Fun
Starting off with an emoji filter that claims to transform your face into an emoji representation, I was greeted with a flesh-colored face rather than the expected vibrant yellow. Unfortunately, the result was underwhelming, resembling something that looked like an odd combination of body parts rather than the playful cartoon I imagined.
Tying Shirts the Right Way
Next up, I learned a new way to tie my shirts. After seeing someone else loop the fabric around their finger before double-knotting, I decided to give it a go. The transformation was impressive: the knots looked much neater and more polished than my old method.
The Great Drink Size Debate
I was skeptical of a claim suggesting that small, medium, and large fast food cups contain the same amount of liquid. To investigate, I filled a small cup with water and poured it into a medium cup—there was a noticeable amount of space left! When I transferred it to the large cup, there was definitely more liquid, proving the claim to be false.
Cracker Cuisine: Oreos with a Twist
In a segment I call "Cracker Cuisine," I explored the odd combination of Oreos and sour cream. The results were surprisingly pleasant, resembling a cheesecake-like flavor, although I'd still pick a classic Oreo in milk over this combination any day.
Cottage Cheese and Doritos Delight
Next, I tried another food hack that suggested dipping Doritos in cottage cheese. The flavor was surprisingly delightful, combining the creamy texture of the cheese with the crunchiness of the chips—definitely a keeper!
DIY Stickers with Tape
Moving on to something crafty, I tested a method of making stickers using tape and parchment paper. The process was straightforward, and even though extracting the sticker proved a bit tricky, it was a fun activity, albeit with slightly mixed results in stickiness.
Fruit Roll-Up Sorbet Surprise
I also tried a hack involving a Rainbow Fruit Roll-Up filled with sherbet. After freezing it, the result was a crunchy exterior with a sweet sorbet filling. While it was tasty, it was also quite sweet—definitely a treat for those with a sweet tooth.
Water and Paper Science Trick
In an unexpected science experiment, I covered a glass of water with a piece of tissue. To my astonishment, it worked! The tissue held the water in place through adhesion, making me rethink how science could be so engaging if presented like this in school.
Noodle Cup Observation
Lastly, I was shocked to discover how little noodle was actually in a cup of instant noodles when I cut it in half, revealing that half of the cup was just air! This laid bare the reality of some products and their deceptive packaging.
Rock-Paper-Scissors Strategy
I experimented with a psychological tactic in rock-paper-scissors, believing that my first choice of paper would lead to a win. After a round with a friend, it didn't go as planned, making me question if this strategy works at all.
This exploration reveals the ups and downs of trending TikTok hacks. While some are fun and functional, others may not hold up to scrutiny.
