The Spoon Can Opener
I once was stranded on a rural highway after a freeway-closing accident with only a can of tuna to eat (and a pair of chopsticks). Luckily, I had a multi-tool with a can opener. Had I only had a spoon, then this somewhat obscure hack would have come in handy. I won’t even go into how odd I looked eating tuna from a can using chopsticks, all while stuck in a completely stationary traffic jam. Since you never know when you might find yourself without a can opener, this hack on how to open a can with a spoon could, theoretically, come in handy for someone.
Plastic Bottle Top Funnel Hack
In this Chowhound YouTube video, Jill Santopietro shows us an easy way to make a funnel. Plastic bottles come in many different sizes with different size openings. Choose one that will work for the type of transfer you want to make, i.e. 32 oz Gatorade bottles work great for transferring grains like flour or oatmeal, whereas a 12 oz. water bottle top works great for liquids such as juice, wine or water. I absolutely love this plastic bottle top funnel hack!
