I saw these a couple months ago and they're pretty great. Some I'd even say are mind-blowing.

Indeed, many of those are really cool. Can someone explain no. 13 (the one with soda cans)? I don't get it, unless the idea is to just have something disposable. But then, what's with the weird double can on the left?

It's cool, but I must say aren't these all pretty common thoughts? Especially number 8, since they are meant to be used that way!

I'm surprised they didn't include using Pringles can lids as cup holders, or rubbing car wax on scratched discs.

Never be afraid to ask, but don't demand an answer 
Can someone explain no. 13 (the one with soda cans)?

It's US-only. They're not allowed to drink alcohol in public places, such as on the beach (or at least they're not allowed to show that they do, or something). That's why tramps in American movies always drink their beer from a bottle in a paper bag; they're not allowed to show that it's beer.

Here the plan is that you can legally (I suppose) drink beer at the beach, if you make it look like it's soda.

Scratcher, there are some beaches that don't allow the consumption of alcohol. So #13 is saying to hollow out a soda can and put it over the beer can.

These don't exactly feel like lifehacks though. More- how to reuse items well.

When you said life hacks I was thinking you meant stuff like this.

Some of these aren't that great, but others are pretty cool.

Number thirteen is cutting out the bottom of a soda can and putting it on top of another to prevent sand from getting in your drink.

Wait, that doesn't even make any sense. How would that prevent sand from getting in the drink?

yeah that doesn't make sense and you might waste 10 or some other number of cents.

Obviously the bottom over the top would cover the top and prevent sand from falling in.

how would you normally get sand in a drink, if your not on a beach anyway?

Don't know. I personally only open my pop halfway. I lift the tab enough that the air escapes, but any more than that is too much. I can still drink it, and bugs, sand, etc. doesn't get in.

So it's kind of a useless tip unless your on the beach?

If you read, No. 13 is for getting alcoholic drinks into alcohol free areas. Often, they allow ordinary soft drink cans if they are sealed, hence the trick.

Why not put the alcohol in sunscreen bottles, I learned that trick from, "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia", the only drawback is people will think your weird or hiding something?

Maybe someone would get caught if the police suspected them, though on the show, they were on a beach with pratically no one and Charlie really drank sunscreen, you could watch the show, it's funny.

All is forgiven, especially since the DN forgives Pred for what he does, so we can all make mistakes and be forgiven. Unless new rules come.
