iPhone is a Chinese brand of leather products and none of them are phones, which is why Apple lost a legal battle against them and has to share the trademark for the word “iPhone” with them.

You may have noticed that the internet has some opinions about stuff. Strong ones. In fact, it’s hard to find any opinion expressed on the internet that isn’t at one extreme or another.
So when people start talking about things they find unpleasant or unlikable, we shouldn’t be surprised that it gets couched in terms that boldly declare said thing SHOULD NOT EVEN EXIST.
That’s what’s been happening with this particular hashtag on Twitter. So, let’s find out which things people truly believe should get the ax from reality.
It’s all nice and comfy until your aim is a little off one night and suddenly you’re trying to scrub tinkle out of your carpet.

I never realized until the last year or so how many uses gasoline has.
Gasoline!
I mean, besides putting it in my car and making it go…but I’m assuming you already know about that one.
My point is, that a lot of products we use can be used for all kinds of different stuff.
What are some uses and features of common products that a lot of people don’t know about?
Let’s see what AskReddit users had to say about this.
“Most gas station coin operated air compressors have a button on the back.
Press this button three times and the pump starts automatically.”
“Baby onesies have the overlap at the shoulders so you can pull it down the kids and off if they have a diaper blow out.
So much better than trying to get a sh*t covered onesie over their head.
I’m so annoyed that I found out about this after I was done with the baby stage.”
“There’s sometimes a “warming” drawer underneath some ovens. Looks like a regular cabinet/skirting that people overlook.
Obviously depends on what kind of oven and where it’s positioned, but is quite common in UK households, especially with smaller kitchens.”
“Most spaghetti forks (that funky utensil you use to pick up cooked spaghetti) have one large round hole in the center.
Aside from helping it drain, it is also sized to be exactly one serving of uncooked spaghetti.”
“Find parking function on Google Maps.
When you park in a stadium or airport parking lot or a city you unfamiliar with: Open Google Maps, hit bullseye (location) then the blue dot.
Pinpoints location and gives option to add notes for garage level etc.”
“Many dustpans for brooms have a jagged section for scraping clumps of hair off the broom bristles.
I didn’t know this for the longest time but since I figured it out it’s made sweeping up all the fur in the house much easier!”
“Vegetable peelers work in both directions.
Most of the time you don’t have to lift them up, you can just go all the way back and keep peeling.”
“Soda cans.
The tab can be turned around and used to hold a straw in place after popping open the can.”
“If your vehicle has fog lights, (those lights on the bottom of your bumper), those lights are meant for driving in fog.
A simple experiment, go out at night, stop your car, turn your low beams on, fog lights off, see where your eyes are drawn to. Now, turn your fog lights on, and watch your eyes get drawn to a point closer to your vehicle. You can actually see less when you have your fog lights on, when it isn’t foggy.
I think vehicles shouldn’t even have fog lights, because the majority of people don’t seem to understand them.”
“You can lift the silverware basket OUT of the dishwasher to put away your utensils or make more space if you don’t have utensils to wash that round.”
“Not sure if this has been posted but your seatbelt buckle is designed to break your car window if and when underwater or trapped in the vehicle.”
“If you think you have a leak in your house, shut off everything inside. Even the washer.
Go outside to your water meter. All water meters have a spinning shape that signifies when water is going through.
So if everything is shut off in the house and the shape is spinning you have a leak.”
“If you put a toothbrush to the the top of your vibrator, it’s a free vibrating toothbrush.”
Do you know about any cool uses or features for products?
If so, please tell us about them in the comments.
Thanks a lot!
The post People Share Uses and Features of Products That You Might Not Be Familiar With appeared first on UberFacts.
You might just learn something today…
How many times have you heard that in your life from a parent or a teacher?
Well, today it’s gonna come true! Because a bunch of people weighed in on an AskReddit question that we think will be of interest to a bunch of you.
AskReddit folks talked about uses and features for products that you might not know about.
“Baking soda is really good at removing baked on grease and soap scum.”
“When you are writing in Microsoft word or Outlook and accidentally leave caps lock on, select the text and press Shift F3.
It will change the text between upper and lower case, and there’s a third option to make the first letter of each word upper case too.
Always seems to blow peoples minds when I tell them.”
“With many car key remotes, you can make all the windows go down at once by pushing the “unlock” button 3 times.
I learned this the hard way, sat on my keys, all my windows and sunroof openned in the middle of a snowstorm.”
“GoJo hand cleaner (the white gelatinous goop mechanics use) is a great for removing oily/greasy stains from clothes.
Rub it in with a retired toothbrush before you toss it in the washer. I’ve found it works a little better than dish soap.”
“Most ceiling fans have a switch to reverse direction of the blades.
Set to clockwise at low speed in winter for an updraft that redistributes warmed air at the ceiling downward.
Then switch to counter-clockwise at higher speed in summer to create a cooling downdraft.”
“There’s a part at the end of a stapler where you can reverse so the staples bend out instead of in.
It’s a less permanent stapling that is easier to remove by hand.”
“Oven doors come off.
Just open till the first stop and pull straight up.
I don’t know how many people i’ve seen stretching to clean the back.”
“YouTube hotkeys
K – toggles pause/play on the video no matter where you last clicked on the page (except the URL bar)
The buttons to either side of it, J and L, skip forward or back by 10 seconds.
The arrow keys skip forward and back by 5 seconds.
The number keys skip you to whichever tenth of the video they correspond to (“0″ to go to the start)
M is mute, and C toggles the captions.”
“Rubbing alcohol kills bed bugs.
Actually it kills most spiders and bugs, dries fast too so you don’t have to worry about a pet or kid getting sick.”
“There are push in tabs on most aluminum foil and plastic wrap boxes to keep the roll from falling out.”
“If you get kidnapped and stuffed in the trunk of a modern car, there is an emergency trunk release lever to help you escape.”
“The swtch on your car’s rear view mirror is to toggle between day/night-time driving.
It’s meant to dim the glare of headlights behind you.”
“Coffee cup lids have that small hole at the back to avoid you creating a vacumm when you take a sip.
It allows the air to flow and stops you getting a big glug of hot coffee down your front.
I always make sure the hole is open and not melted shut and people are often confused why I do it.”
How about you?

The post What Product Has a Feature or a Use Not Everyone Is Aware Of? Here’s What People Said. appeared first on UberFacts.
Depending on how you grew up, you probably thought some things were luxuries and others were not.
And, for pretty much all of us, it’s kind of hard to understand the value of a dollar until you start paying your own bills.
But there are some things that really blow your mind when you pay for them yourself for the first time…
AskReddit users talked about what they didn’t realize was expensive until they grew up.
“Custom framing.
Hundreds of dollars for a nice frame with mat.
I still don’t understand how it gets up so high.”
“Fast food.
I’ve started to think…”I could make this at home for cheaper”.
I have reached peak adulthood, or I’m just trying to save better.
I still win with cheaper, homemade food that lasts for several meals.”
“Cavities, or more specifically dental fillings.
If I had known how much it cost as an adult to fix your teeth, I would have taken way better care of mine!”
“Owning a car.
I knew buying one was expensive, even second hand, but just owning one?
Car insurance, road taxes, gasoline, yearly maintenance… even it just sitting in the parking lot during the pandemic it’s costing me quite a bit.”
“Batteries.
As a kid I would always need batteries for my remote control cars or any battery operated toy.
Man, do I regret wasting them as a kid”
“Taking the whole family out to dinner.
Man, that really adds up.”
“All the general household supplies your parents used to buy.
Never fun to have to spend your hard earned money on TP, sponges, shampoo, windex, paper towel, etc…”
“Gravestones.
Most of my family members were cremated (those who died) except for my grandma. It’s a nice memorial that she chose completely and it’s pretty basic. $30,000 Canadian dollars roughly.
Blows my f*ckin mind ! Cremate the sh*t out of me.”
“Paint!
No wonder my mom said no every time I asked to paint my room black with hot pink splatters.”
“Tires.
I always imagined they were like $50 a piece and the installation was part of the sales price.
First time I saw a $700 bill for 4 new tires I about cried.”
“Glasses and contacts.
Even if you have vision insurance, you often have to pay extra to get something decent quality.
Why do I have to pay to see?!?!”
“Literally everything.
I wanted for nothing as a child and thought that was how it went. What a blessed upbringing.
I didn’t have a concept how much money you needed to live like I grew up until I was almost through college. Man, if I knew that I would have made some different education decisions.”
“Printer ink, that sh*t’s like liquid gold.
The bloody printer is usually cheaper then the replacement ink cartridges, that’s how they get you.
It’s an endless loop of buying cheap printers just to replace the ink.”
“Fresh fruits and high quality ingredients to make meals are expensive, and I didn’t realize how lucky I was until I left home.
Now I love visiting the parents because the meals are healthy and have great ingredients.”
What do you think?
What did you not realize was pretty expensive until you got older?
Share your thoughts with us in the comments. Thanks!
The post What Did You Not Realize Was Expensive Until You Were Older? People Shared Their Thoughts. appeared first on UberFacts.
I remember the when I had to replace the timing belt and the water pump in my car…let’s just say I was on the verge of tears…because that ain’t a cheap fix…
My point in telling that story is that you don’t have any idea how expensive some things are until you really start “adulting…”.
And here’s what AskReddit users had to say about this.
“Interest.
I didn’t realize how much paying interest on debt can actually cost you when you add it up.
It’s like a f*cking punch in the gut.”
“Bras.
I’ve given up and buy the $100 ones that properly fit me, because I’m a larger size. I buy 3-4 at a time, probably once a year or once every two years. I only stop wearing bras if they break or are really the wrong size (due to weight fluctuations).
I keep the bras that don’t fit if they are still in good condition, hoping they’ll fit again one day.
Throwing down $300 CAD for bras isn’t something I’ll ever get used to but I’ve resigned myself to it.”
“Taking your family to Disney.
When you’re a kid you’re like man what’s the big deal but when you’re an adult, it’s literally almost like the cost of a vacation in itself just to go to the park for a day.”
“Property taxes, especially in some states.
Our $200k house is paid off, but I still have to pay $7,500 a year in property tax to keep it.
Rural Upstate New York. Over 4 hours from NYC.”
“Having an illness.
I thought sick people were just taken care of.
Now I know, depending on what country you live in, it can cost you somewhere between most of your disposable income, to your entire house and all your possessions.”
“Baby formula.
That sh*t is like, $20 a can, and there was a period where our daughter was demolishing a can a day. There was a point in time where my kid’s formula was costing us $600 a month, which was 1/3rd of our combined income at the time.
I found myself in the position of having to skip 2 meals a day just to afford to feed the rest of my family.”
“House ownership.
It’s one thing to see a mortgage bill and think, okay I got that covered and still have money to eat and maybe go skiing next weekend.
It’s a while other thing when you discover you have rats in the attic, the A/C leaks, the weeds in the yard are giving the neighbor an aneurism, electricity is 3X more expensive than you every imagined it could be, and then the dishwasher breaks and the stovetop fan collapses one night.
And that wallpaper in the master bath really needs to go, oh and that fan over the shower is squeaking, so we stopped using it and now we have mold everywhere.
And then we had kids…”
“Food, to be honest.
I had no idea it would cost ~25% of my salary just to not starve.
I could bring that down to around 20% but had no idea how time consuming cooking is.”
“Pillows. Any pillow.
Throw pillows are like $25 minimum. If you get a $25 sleeping pillow it’s sh*t and you’re replacing it several times per year so you have to “invest” in a good pillow for a task that you literally do nothing to perform but if you don’t perform it well, you’re gonna have a bad time.
It’s bullsh*t.”
“A good pair of shoes.
We had bought bargain shoes growing up, and I continued that practice for a good portion of my adult life. I never thought paying an extra $40-$100 would be worth it.
But I remember the first time I tried on a paid or $120 hiking boots. My feet were in heaven. It was shockingly so much better. I bought them on the spot and they lasted like 5 years. I wouldn’t spent the same, if not more, in sh*tty shoes over the same timeframe.
Since then, I find I spend more on shoes that are comfortable and they last longer.”
“Ironically, having a job.
Between transportation (car, gas, insurance, parking, bus/subway fare) work clothing, haircuts and razors if you have to shave, and depending on the job other equipment, that can get expensive fast.
And a lot of it can’t be written off on taxes.”
“Health insurance.
It actually cost me less to fly to the Philippines, get amazing dental work done and have a two week vacation for half the price of the procedure here.
Healthcare is a f*cking joke here, yet people swear this is the greatest county on earth.”
“Household utilities.
Growing up, I didn’t understand why Grandma yelled at us for “Running up her light bill”, or my mom telling us to stop wasting water (I once forgot the hose was on while filling the horse trough and it ran for hours. Thought my mom was going to sell me to pay the water bill.) or leave the thermostat alone.
Now that I’m an adult and paying the bills, I find myself policing the family on their utility usage. I go around turning off lights, telling them to get a blanket cuz I’m not turning up the heat, and demanding shorter showers.
Why does a 10 year need a 45 minute shower? What exactly is she doing in there that is so time-consuming? She says she’s enjoying the hot water. That’s great. You get Ramen for dinner this week.
No one told me that becoming a responsible adult turned you into a penny-pinching worrywart.”
Oh, boy…adulting…
And now we want to hear from you!
Tell us what you didn’t think was expensive until you became an adult.
Do it in the comments, por favor!

In a world where we can get just about anything we want with only a click of a mouse or a swipe on a screen, it can feel a little exhausting to constantly be marketed to.
That potential for exhaustion makes it extra nice when you see a product that is so clearly designed for the person who will buy it.
From doormats that were clearly designed to help you out to a mug that doubles as a hand warmer, here are 10 times that designers proved they had their users in mind when they came up with a product.
It’s cute and it also reminds you of everything you need to take out with you.
It shows you what the shirt will really look like.
This is legitimately a brilliant invention. It’s so cozy!
This is such a great idea for anyone who is willing to work with and around nature.
Gone are the days of flipping it one way and then the other, because both ways work!
A windshield wiper… for your mirror!
The circles show you exactly how much oil you’ve added.
Are you tired of burning your hands? This toaster solves that problem for you.
Truly a wonderful invention for every cyclist!
In Copenhagen, the train carts without drivers have “buttons” that kids can play with while they ride.
Aren’t these products pretty cool? Those toast grabbers are seriously impressive. Let us know which is your favorite in the comments!

When I first moved to a city, one of the unexpected challenges was reading the parking signs. It wasn’t that they were too small, or dirty, or that my vision was bad, they were just inscrutably complicated and at first glance seemed designed to ensure that I’d always be parked illegally. These days I’m a pro at deciphering those bad boys, but I still come across weird signs and symbols all over the place.
This collection features some great examples of the kinds of things that would make you do a double or triple-take as you’re making your way through the world.
I feel like one or two of those might be Photoshopped, but, truth is stranger than fiction, so, who knows.
What’s the strangest sign you’ve ever seen?
