Lately, I’ve been introduced to some pretty rad sites on the internet, but I’m pretty sure what I just discovered today tops the charts.

And what is it that I just discovered? Tricks that are pretty unbelievable, if you ask me but apparently really do work! I mean think about Tabasco sauce, the sauce that scorches your insides, and then, think of ginger ale, you know, the drink to settle your insides. Oh, and now, think of them together. Well, according to the internet geniuses of Reddit, adding just one drop (and ONLY one drop) of Tabasco sauce into your glass of ginger ale will diminish the syrupy flavor and make it much drier…and more delicious.

Hmm… interesting, but that wasn’t all.  Read on to find 10 more “tricks” from Redditors that sound… interesting, to say the least.

      Haha.. Reddit. It must be true if it's on Reddit. Why don't you personally review all these tricks and make that a homepage exclusive? A video will suffice.

      I've heard about the dryer sheet keeping mosquitos away a lot. I personally know that salt does take out grease stains, it's my grandmother's old trick! The chocolate milk and fruit flies ones are also true, as is the toothpaste one!

      I can't take this article seriously because in slide two, they used, "All the sudden."

      "You attract more flies with honey than with vinegar." I'm surprised by how many people who haven't hear of this old saying–almost everyone I grew up with knew it when they were little! (And I'm not even twenty yet!)

    Tell us what you're thinking...
