Yep!

The best way to store rubber bands is in a large, airtight prescription pill bottle. It contains them well, and they won’t dry out.

I love the concept of having a bread clip on hand for when I find a pile of loose rubber bands next time I travel. This will save me from this oft-encountered distraction.

I literally don't need any of those ideas but applaud your creativity. It's actually a GREAT brain activity, to take an item and think of as many non-conventional uses for it that you can.

I would’ve never think of sandals that was a good one. I really like that one.

You do not need anything for socks. You just line up two socks that match, and pull down part of the sock from inside of the pair over the other sock as you fold down the socks. You should be left with two socks now properly matched together, and if you did it right, and until you decide to separate them, they will stay together. I thought everyone knew how to fold socks. You can also do this with flimsy gloves too.

@@wilhelmina8843 Did not mean to be condescending, yet I am currently often really tired, in pain, and not feeling well, so I can not pad what I say to make it sound better. For someone to use things that they do not need to is wasting their time and effort and using old tags to match socks are not that helpful. Especially since plastic bread tags are now slowly being replaced with cardboard bread tags. Plus, there is a possibility that the tag will catch on the sock material and pull the material and make them run. When I watched this video I honestly felt bad that there may actually be people who did not know how to fold socks. If I had a camera I would have made a video on how to fold socks, posted it and gave the link instead of the written instructions. I am seriously considering begging a cousin to film me showing how to fold different types of socks so I can post it.

They can help close the drapes in a hotel room. Ive never tried it but there's always a gap between them maybe that will help, clip them together.

Here in Australia our bread clips are now recyclable cardboard. I still have a few old plastic ones for the cord ties etc and always throw a couple in my wash bag when I travel.

With your matching socks slip one right into the other one. This does not compromise the elastic band.

This is the first time stumbling upon your stuff, and for your first video, I gotta say, I liked it. Short and sweet.

You have some wonderful ideas. I like the tape idea. I always used a pen or pencil to stick onto the tape dispenser and it was frustrating. And you have the best ideas for using the clip without using rubber bands that always break. Thank you.

I put one on my zipper

These clips were banned in the UK decades ago. Small babies got them into their mouths and choked to death. The shape of them allows them lodge in the throat, and every attempt to remove them just makes them get even more stuck.

Very glad to hear the plastic clips were banned in the UK long ago and that the clips are made of thin cardboard in Australia. I live in the US but family is from France and Switzerland. The U.S. is certainly behind in comprehensive recycling measures and way behind in eliminating plastics compared to many other countries.

We joke that we save bread clips for my dessert. A few years ago I was eating a fish taco at a restaurant and thought I bit into a bone. It turned out to be a bread clip. The manager was nice, comped my meal. He offered more, but I was done and didn't need anything. Now we save them for the ends of tape rolls.

The best clips for your cell phone charger cords are the mini hair clips. I use the all the time it’s the best n for bigger cords I use the large hair clips

My life changed after watching this transformational video

Cool ideas. When I was a kid we used to snap off one of the hooks and then hook the clip itself onto our finger and flip them at each other. It got so bad in high school that there were clips stuck in the ceiling tiles. It was a good way to lose an eye back in the 80’s.

I recon you don’t have kids or a washing machine? Everyone knows how to fold socks, the problem does not lie there. The problem with socks arrive at the very moment a kid removes his dirty socks. Kids get dirt from head to toe, kids sweat like men and you want their socks thoroughly cleaned to kill the bacteria and get rid of the mud. If you fold socks before putting them in the washer, they do not get cleaned well enough. Socks that are not paired have a tendency to get lost, so bread clips in one way to keep socks together from the second the kid removes his socks.

#1 BEST HACK--Ill try to describe as best as possible. I figured it out two yrs ago. If you get at least 3 of those plastic clips and put it under your FLIP FLOPS, Each on top of one another ( Layered ) each in a different direction. It will keep your FLIP flops from separating at the bottom. I add 3 in different directions because one of them usually breaks off in about 6+ months so you have at least backups. I would also keep extra in your car in case you need backups or your friends have issues with their flip flops. Best tip of the year 🎉
