How do you eat your burger at McDonald’s? The way it’s served, right? That means the top bun stays on top, but you end up spilling all the sauces out with the patty dropping down the sides. Next time, try flipping the burger. Since the top bun is twice as thick as the bottom one, it’s much less likely to fall apart when it is flipped upside down. Now that’s what we call a life hack!

Use a blown-up plastic bag to act as a light diffuser while taking photographs, or use colored plastic bags as color filters.

Want to count active calories and keep your Apple Watch clean while painting? Use a sweatband as a cover!
Use different colored ink for different subjects when you’re allowed to use one-sided cheat sheets.
