21 Things We Have Been Doing Wrong Without Realizing It
We do a lot of things every day and we learn a lot of new things every day. It’s now time for kind of a combination of both: here are some things you do on a daily basis wrong and how to do them correctly.
1. Quickly cooling a beverage in the freezer: Instead of just throwing a bottle of soda in the freezer to cool down, try soaking a paper towel with water and wrapping it around the bottle. Just watch as it gets icy cold in mere minutes!
