to make your life easier with an

unbelievable trick to help dry your
clothes in just 90 seconds. You're

way too hard for this.

Seven ways to use dental floss that are
better than flossing.

And we've got a hack for working out
that might actually convince you to go

the gym. It actually does work.

Plus, our hack of the week could save
your luggage and your vacation from

disaster. Oh, my goodness.

This is Hack My Life.

Who doesn't love a delicious bowl of...
Freshly popped buttery popcorn.

We're here to test a few popcorn popping
hacks because this is Hack vs.

Hack.

So today I'm going to hack my own
popcorn popper using a soda can and

have a microwavable hack. Brown paper
bag.

Ready to start?

Yeah. I'm going to fill it with a
handful of popcorn kernels into the bag.

Fold two, three times.

Okay, two minutes, 30 seconds.

Great. The first step in my hack is to
cut a hole in the side of the can. This

will allow the kernels to pop out. All
right, I'm going to crack open some oil

so the kernels don't burn.

Oh, you hear that?

Sounds like success.

It's almost like my hack is cheering you
on and saying, pop, pop, pop, pop,

which you're not doing.

That's it. On the burner, hit high and
watch the popcorn magic begin.

I feel like I should give it a little
shake, but I'm afraid it's touching.

I'm just going to enjoy my delicious
treat while you pop yours.

I'm not going to completely write this
off until I taste it. Sure.

Whenever it starts popping, any minute
now.

Oh, there we go, kernels. Corn!

There are hot kernels. Ah, this is a
rush.

Okay. Oh, here we come.

You're just coaxing those kernels out.
Oh, fire!

Actual fire.

Okay. Mmm.

Let's discuss what just happened here
today, Brooke. I think for time, paper

hack, that's the clear winner.

For safety, I mean, I didn't notice any
fires in the microwave. Did you notice

any high flames or hot kernels flying
out of the microwave? No.

Convenience, the paper bag wins out as
well.

I guess all that's left is taste.

Sure. So let's go ahead and have a
little taste test.

Very bland.

The kernels are really small.

Okay, try one of yours because, let me
tell you, hint of burning and a hint of

aluminum. I think Paper Bag Hack is the
winner all day. All right, yeah. There

you go.

You know, there are a lot of hacks that
will make your next gym experience less

painful. I'm here to find out what
fitness freaks find useful and what they

think is a total waste of time. In this,
can you hack it?

Question for you. Earbuds falling out.
Does that happen a lot?

Right now. Came out twice.

Okay. A twist tie can help with that.

So we're going to take our earbud. Oh,
no way!

Yeah. So you want to twist it around
twice.

And then this part, all the way at the
top.

That will go in your ear, and this will
curve around the top part of your ear.

Let's give it a test. Do you mind? Sure.

Actually, it does work.

You said actually as if you were
doubting.

Well, I mean, I did the twist tie.

Touche. What's going on with the cell
phone and the strap there? It's, like,

really the only place I can put it. I
don't want to, like, put it up my

you know? Right. So it's, like, a little
sweaty, but... I know to the untrained

eye it looks like I just cut the bottom
off a gym sock because that's exactly

what I did. You want to try it? Okay,
cool.

Slide it on up. Put the phone right
there.

And I'm just going to roll this back and
create a little pocket for the phone.

And voila.

Feels good. I feel snug, not too tight?
Yeah, 100%. Can I keep this one?

Yeah, I can live with one sock for the
rest of the day. All right, enjoy it.

glad you like it. Thank you so much. Of
course. Thanks.

This is a shower to go.

Okay. I kid you not. You take body wash,
right? Fill a container about halfway.

Then put water on top, stick it in the
freezer.

Do you want to try this?

All right. Does it seem crazy?

It does seem a little bit crazy.

Oh, let's do it like that. Right away,
you've got the body wash on, then you

flip it over and wash it with the ice.
So if a shower is out of order or if

you're on the go.

I guess, yeah.

What do you think?

Not a terrible idea.

Is this something you would use?

If I didn't have access to a shower.
Obviously, this is my number one option

here. Right, but in a pinch, it can help
you out.

Good, definitely.

Sir?

What? Question.

Okay. Had a workout, heart rate's up,
start getting a little swampy, start

sweating. Has that ever happened to you?
Yeah. Yeah, and you end up with, like,

the stain all the way down the side,
right?

Panty liner.

It's not a fetish. It's a life hack.

All right, got your shirt sleeve here.
We're just going to apply this right on

the seam of the armpit.

Okay. And then just be careful when
you're putting it on, but that should

and you're going to sweat into the pad
instead of right onto the shirt itself.

You got a big day coming up. You don't
want the pit stains.

You might throw a panty liner in.

I guess it depends on the day. It can be
a Monday through Friday thing. It

really can. We'll work up to that. All
right, cool, man. All right, thanks.

Sometimes an item is so useful, it
ascends into the pantheon of great

tools. Today we celebrate one of those
simple household items that truly has

become a hack all -star.

Dental floss.

If you don't have a knife handy, you can
use dental floss to cut slices of soft

cheese.

Use dental floss to separate warm
cookies from a baking sheet if you don't

the patience to let them cool.

Tie a piece of floss around bunches of
herbs and hang them up to dry.

String several feet of dental floss
between two stationary objects for a

yet sturdy clothesline.

A piece of floss works well to clean
dirt and dust from hard to reach places.

If you're in a jam, you can repair a
broken shoelace.

by lacing up your sneakers with floss.
All -star.

And finally, string floss through a big
needle to sew a button back on. It's

going to hold up just as well as thread.

All -star.

Welcome to the club, dental floss.

It's good to know you.

Coming up, ice water is more than just a
drink. It's also a simple, quick, and

easy beauty hack. Oh, for f*** 's sake.

What? We'll give you a great reason to
stuff your fridge full of old newspaper.

Jane is packing for a trip, but there
are two Janes. Slacker Jane rejects the

hacker lifestyle, while Hacker Jane
embraces it. And to see just how

each Jane's packing method is, we've
created this re -enhackment.

Even though it's raining, Slacker Jane
just throws her stuff in a suitcase and

rolls it outside, getting her clothes
soaking wet.

Hacker Jane lines her suitcase with a
garbage bag, ensuring that even if it's

pouring outside...

Her clothes stay dry.

Slacker Jane's clothes come out of her
suitcase smelling musty.

Hacker Jane's clothing smells great
because she packs a dryer sheet in her

suitcase.

Slacker Jane never seems to have enough
room in her suitcase for all of her

clothes. Hacker Jane rolls her clothes
up tightly, giving her more than enough

room for everything she wants to pack.

When Slacker Jane opens her luggage...

She finds shampoo and lotion over
everything.

Hacker Jane's clothes are clean because
she puts a piece of plastic wrap over

the mouth of each bottle and then puts
the cap back on, creating an additional

barrier against spill.

All of Slacker Jane's jewels are in a
tangled mess.

Hacker Jane's jewelry is in perfect
shape because she stores them

in pill containers.

And finally, Slacker Jane's clothes are
dirty because she puts her muddy shoes

on top of them.

Packer Jane's clothes are mud -free
because she covered the soul with a

cap. Packer Jane makes it look so easy,
so follow her lead and pack like a pro.

Looking good, Jane.

Looking good.

We've assembled three real butlers to
help me find out whether or not ketchup,

lemon juice, or toothpaste work just as
well as regular silverware polish.

The butlers will be executing the hacks,
and I will be evaluating them in this

highly civilized...

Back off challenge.

I have never felt more underdressed in
my life. Gentlemen, thank you for

at this table and coming through this
hack experience with me. We'll begin the

polishing now.

The first hack involves lemon juice and
salt. Dixon, how do you feel about this

mixture here?

Well, in this particular instance, using
the lemon juice and the salt to break

the tarnish would be great.

It's not doing squat.

For the polishing. Perhaps if I had the
toothbrush, I might... Oh, fuck!

Envy, envy.

It's my toothbrush.

Yes, well, nothing like fork envy, is
there?

Toothpaste and a toothbrush.

Maybe not the cleanest hack ever, but do
you think it's working?

It's almost like dealing with the normal
silver polish. The toothbrush actually

gets into these little areas.

Would you ever use something like this
in lieu of traditional polish?

Um, why not?

And Bill, how's it looking over there
with the ketchup? Smells delicious.

It's not working as quickly as I would
have liked. As we like to say, time

time. You're being so gentle. I might be
summoned in to respond to my lord, and

I don't want to have ketchup on me in
case I'm called away.

Okay. Dixon, are you done with the lemon
juice?

You don't think that's getting any
better? I think if I had gotten to this

point, I would definitely have pulled
out the polish.

Okay. And probably the ketchup, too.

The towel's been thrown in. Bill, you
done with the ketchup?

I believe I am, sir. And it looks like
the toothpaste is done. We'll call that

done as well.

Let's see the results now. Start with
the fourth.

Okay.

The clear winner, in my opinion, is
toothpaste.

The speed of the hack, it got everything
so shiny.

Toothpaste and a toothbrush is a
phenomenal replacement for polish. It

make a little bit of a mess, but that's
okay. I mean, they look the best.

Followed by ketchup.

And then just behind is going to be
lemon juice and salt. But why?

Breaking down the ham.

You would need about 20 lemons for the
citric acid to be useful against

silverware tarnish.

And salt?

Well, that can actually cause silverware
to corrode. So when paired together,

they're an ineffective pair.

Ketchup contains vinegar, which is made
of acidic acid and can be found in many

cleaning products.

Fortunately, in small doses, acidic acid
is minimally effective against tarnish.

Toothpaste contains hydrated silica, a
chemical compound that acts as an

abrasive to remove plaque from teeth.

It binds to the tarnish and breaks it
down, allowing for the toothbrush to

remove it altogether.

The worst part about getting a manicure
is waiting for that fresh coat of nail

polish to dry, which can take up to 15
minutes.

Allegedly, there's a hack that speeds up
the process. So let's find out if it

works in this hack experiment.

And you are all done.

Cool. All right. What you need to see if
this hack works is a freshly painted

hand. I've got two of them. And you need
a bowl of ice water.

Apparently, you just submerge your
fingers into the ice water for three

and it will set. Here's the tough part.
Let's do it. Have you heard of this

before? No.

I'm pretty shocked right now. You are
the first.

Oh, okay. Are we running the clock?

Oh, for...

For fuck's sake, this is cold.

It's really cold.

We're not even one minute in and this is
brutal. I don't know if I have another

two in me.

What if they turn black and fall off?

I'm going to a very far away floaty
place. I don't feel any pain anymore.

Does this mean I'm dying?

Okay, it's been three minutes.

All right.

It's actually dry.

I can't believe it.

Okay, so the nails are technically dry,
but my fingers are so cold that they're

on fire.

This experiment, in my mind, is not a
win because it's so uncomfortable.

Beauty is painful, but this sucks.

There's nothing more unappetizing than a
messy fridge.

So we'll show you how to clean it up
with these helpful tricks.

Here's how to hack your fridge.

Toss your old copies of Hustler and use
your old magazine storage racks to

organize your freezer.

Try stuffing newspapers in the doors and
the drawers to absorb unpleasant odor.

Now, plastic wrap can save your meatloaf
for a week and your refrigerator

shelves as well. Just wrap them up, and
then you can clean up spills instantly.

Fill it up quickly with this handy soda
hack. Instead of transferring cans one

by one the old -fashioned way, just open
one side of the box and push your hand

through.

But don't throw away that empty beer
holder, because when you're done with

brews, you can use it to organize your
condiment.

Great job. Now go into that fridge and
stuff your face.

Up next, an easy, inexpensive fish tank
made out of junk.

Congrats! You now have a goldfish! And
later...

We'll show you how to organize your
cubicle and impress your boss.

So you're at the local fair and your kid
throws a ping pong ball into a vase.

Congrats, he's a winner!

Now you're stuck with a goldfish that
you don't have a home for.

Don't worry, because one man's trash...
is another hacker's treasure and today

we're going to turn ordinary items into
aquarium all you need is the gumball

machine some aquarium glue a piece of
glass and then whatever creature

you want for your scaly friends step one
disassemble the gumball machine step

two you need a piece of glass cut so
that it will fit right inside the

machine now we're going to take our
aquarium glue like frosting a very toxic

cake

That was delicious.

And now we place our bowl.

We're going to go ahead and add our
accoutrement.

Is that a word? I think it's a word.

Start by adding some rock.

A little plant.

Oh, look how festive.

My fish are going to love this.

And here comes our buddy.

He loves it already.

Pour some water in there, pop a lid on
it, and you are done. That is a gumball

machine aquarium.

Hubert, say thank you.

This is a salad spinner. You can use it
to actually dry your swimsuits or your

delicates. We're going to see if the
salad spinner clothes dryer is hot or

Definitely very wet, fresh from the
bowl.

Pots it in our salad spinner.

And now, through the magic of
centripetal force, we will spin these

around.

And you can already see the liquid
shooting off. There's a lot coming off.

We're going to have a sweat watching
you, Kev. You're working way too hard

this. I know.

First and foremost, the dangle test.

Okay. I think nothing's dripping on my
hands. Let's see what we collected here.

Watch this. That's a lot of moisture.

It's not bone dry, but if you had to,
like, throw it back in a gym bag or you

were traveling with it, I don't know. So
is this thing hack or whack?

It's faster than air drying, that is for
sure. And I'd be lying if I said I

wasn't going to maybe try this later.

So I think it's a hack.

It's a hack. I think it's a hack.

With just a few quick hacks, you can
take your workspace from gross to fully

functional. We're about to show you how
to hack your keyboard.

Got crumbs and dirt in your computer
keyboard?

Remove the mess by dragging a sticky
note between the keys. The sticky side

pick up the debris.

To avoid clutter, store office supplies
in an old spice rack.

Your desk is now freed up for more desky
things like signing important

documents. And those empty cereal boxes
littering your desk?

Put them to good use.

Cut off the bottoms and use them as desk
door compartments.

Now you know where to find that ruler
you used just twice a year.

Use a binder clip to hang sunglasses
next to your computer.

It'll free up even more space and act as
a rear -view mirror.

Your boss will never sneak up on you
again.

And finally, don't get overwhelmed by
all those loose cables.

To tame tangled cords, cut out a small
piece of the side of a basket and run

your cable through it.

Add some double -sided tape and secure
it under your desk, freeing up space for

your new office chair.

Congratulations, you've just hacked
yourself a cubicle that's the envy of

coworkers. Now get back to work.

Hey, look at you, Mr. Fancy, Mr. Fortune
500.

Congratulations, you upgraded your
office chair. The problem is those brand

wheels, they're going to scuff your very
delicate floors.

So here's what you do.

Take some tape, cut some thin strips,
and wrap it around the wheels.

That's going to offer a layer of
protection and provide a buffer between

and your precious hardwood.

And presto, you got yourself a
protective barrier between the wheels

floor.

Now you're free to be the boss.

Coming up, save almost $200 in 30
seconds. It's music to our ears.

And later,

our hack of the week will protect your
clothes. And it's sitting in your

right now.

We've shown you a lot of hacks today.
Before we send you on your way, let's

delve a little deeper into four of the
best to help you become a true hacker.

The award for best time saver goes to
the salad spinner. It takes about four

hours to dry your suit in the sun and 45
minutes in the clothes dryer. But the

salad spinner, 90 seconds.

It's a no -brainer to save some precious
time.

Biggest money saver, twist tie
headphones.

Twist ties cost less than a penny each,
but high -end athletic headphones can

cost $200 or more.

So save yourself hundreds by hacking
your $10 earbuds.

Least likely to succeed, soda can
popcorn.

Unless, of course, you're trying to burn
your house down.

40 % of all home fires start in the
kitchen.

Oh, fire!

Use the paper bag and the microwave hack
instead.

And finally, our hack of the week.

protecting your luggage by placing
plastic wrap over the openings of
