Soda Can Tab
If you’ve ever opened a soda can, you’re probably familiar with the tab on the end. Even if you’re like the majority of people, you’ve been irritated by this tab at one point or another, specifically if it gets undone and drops into the can with the rest of the liquid. As it turns out, you weren’t using the tab properly. The tab on soda cans, it turns out, is designed to be turned over and used as a straw holder. We don’t use straws to drink from cans because the insides are usually too flimsy.
Extra Holes in Sneakers
The extra gaps aren’t a flaw in the design; they’re there to help you. If your feet have blisters or feel like they’re jumping around in your shoes, tie them in the opposite direction of the extra holes. Each side will have a loop, allowing you to cross your laces inside each loop. Then, rather than tying your laces as normal, you pull them away to build a much stronger lock. A technique known as “strap lock” or “heel lock” helps keep your shoes on your feet.
