This Lady Wraps A Rubber Band Through The Dashboard Vent Of Her Car. The Reason Is Brilliant
Few things are as distracting and dangerous as using a cell phone when you’re driving a car. They take the user’s focus and attention away from where it should be, on the road, and are to blame for thousands of auto-related accidents and fatalities every year. That’s why many states in the US and countries have banned the use of them while driving and made it an illegal offense.
However, the law doesn’t stop drivers from utilizing their phones, especially for navigational purposes. The paper maps of yesterday have been replaced by the mobile phone GPS systems of today. Lots of people would be lost without their cells directing them where to go, exactly when to turn, and how to avoid tolls or traffic.
If you’re going to use your phone then you may as well lessen the risks involved and have it close-by within your line of sight. That way you don’t have to take your eyes off the road for as long or look all over for it, thus reducing your overall level of distraction. The best way to keep it handy and nearby is via use of a cell phone holder and if you don’t have one, don’t sweat it, just check out this video from One Crazy House!
The creative solution seen here is an easy and affordable way to quickly rig up a cell phone holder. All you need is a sturdy rubber band and 5 seconds of time. Take the rubber band and stick one end of it through your car vent. Loop it around a vent slot so that you end up pulling the end out a different one that’s below it. To make this a lot easier you can use a screwdriver to catch the band, as shown in the video. Once it’s looped through the vent pull the two ends of the band out and place your phone in the open space between the dash and elastic. Adjust the rubber band towards both ends of the phone to form a snug fit that will hold it securely in place and you’re all set to go!
This is the most simple and effective way to create a smartphone holder for your car. Besides making life all the more easy, it will also make driving safer for you and your passengers, and who doesn’t want that?

This Guy Pours 7-Up Into a Vase. The Reason Is Brilliant!
Soda is not only a popular beverage, it also happens to be quite versatile. There are a number of helpful things that can be done involving the carbonated drink. This awesome YouTube video from the HouseholdHacker channel illustrates seven different ways in which you can use it around the house.
If you ever step in gum and track it all over, don’t sweat it. Simply pour soda on and let it soak into the nasty gum for several minutes. It will be easier to scrape off and this also works to safely remove gum from hair or clothing as well. If you want to keep flowers fresh and vibrant for longer place them in a vase with equal parts water and soda.
The plants love the sugar they draw out of the mixture and this works best with clear soda. Next, you can clean gunk off your car without using harsh chemicals or risk ruining the paint job. Pour the pop on the stubborn area, let it sit for a few minutes, then wipe it off with a paper towel. Also, pour water on the spot to get rid of any leftover stickiness.
If your having trouble with bees or wasps take an empty plastic soda bottle and carefully cut off the top half with a knife or razor. Fill the bottom/base portion with soda then flip the top half upside down and place on top. The pests will be drawn to the sugary liquid, crawl down the hole, and get trapped. Next, recycle soda that has gone flat by freezing it in ice cube trays for use later in fresh drinks that need cooling. The soda ice will stop your drinks from becoming watered down and you’ll get your moneys worth out of the flat stuff.
The sixth hack makes the best out of a dark situation when you only have dinky little candles for light. Take an aluminum soda can, carefully cut several slits down the sides, pry open the slits, and press down on the top to help make it pop open. Place a candle inside, light it, and enjoy your new lantern.
Lastly, use a can of cola to clean the toilette by pouring it all around the bowl. Wait one hour for the citric acid to eat away at the nastiness then flush. That’s it! Of course, you could just do the obvious and refreshing thing with your can of cola and drink it. But if you ever find yourself in one of the above situations, try using soda to solve the problem!
