Keep a straw plugged in! A surprising and unfamiliar use for straws.

How to use straws 200%

Did you know that plugging a straw into an outlet can have an amazing effect?

Straws are one of the most useful products you can use at home.

Today, I'm going to tell you three ways to make your life easier with just one straw.

 

vacuum packaging

We all know that vacuum-packing food makes it last longer.

The problem is that vacuum packaging at home requires specialized machinery.

But the fact is that anyone can easily and simply vacuum pack at home with just a straw and a zip-lock bag!

First, place the ingredients to be vacuum-packed in a zipper bag.

It's best to use a double-layered zip-lock bag. Close the bag except for the hole where the straw will go.

After that, insert the straw and suck in the air momentarily.

Then, the inside will become vacuumed. At this point, you can quickly remove the straw and close the zipper.

 

Then, you can see that the inside is completely vacuum-packed without a vacuum machine.

Plug a straw into an electrical outlet

The next place I'll be using it is an electric concert! When using a power strip, it's hard to tell which wires go to which products. So, if you unplug them one by one, you end up powering off the wrong product.

 

In this case, prepare a straw, cut it into small pieces, and write the name of the product on it.

Then cut out the central part with scissors.

Plug all the prepared items into the electrical outlet cords. This will make it easier to distinguish which cords are which, so there's no confusion.

 

 

Cup ramen fixer

The next thing we'll be using is cup ramen.

It's best to pour water into cup ramen and keep the lid closed.

At this time, prepare the upper part of the straw by cutting the bend. Then, cut the center part with scissors.

If you pour hot water into the cup ramen and secure it with the prepared straw at the end, the lid will not open.

The ramen cooks well and is delicious. It's great that you can save the used parts and recycle them over time.
