1. The Pre-Cut Pizza Trick
Who said you have to slice your frozen pizza after it’s cooked? Cut it before it hits the oven! You’ll skip the saucy mess, get cleaner slices, and the heat will reach every part evenly — no more cold centers. It’s faster, tidier, and honestly feels like a pro move. Perfect for lazy pizza nights.

2. Escape Plan 101
If you ever get trapped underwater in your car, stay calm — panic wastes precious oxygen. Unclip your headrest and use its metal prongs to smash the side window. It’s designed for strength, and that tool could save your life. Remember: stay calm, act fast, and aim for the side windows, not the windshield.

3. The Ultimate Cleaner Mix
When in doubt, mix equal parts vinegar and Dawn dish soap. The vinegar dissolves hard water stains and soap scum, while Dawn cuts through grease and grime. This dynamic duo works on nearly every surface in your home — kitchens, bathrooms, you name it. Simple, cheap, and wildly effective.

4. Make Eggs Last Longer
Want your eggs to outlive their “best before” date? Just coat them with a thin layer of mineral oil and store them in the fridge. It seals the shell’s pores, keeping out bacteria and locking in freshness. Boom — seven extra days of perfect omelets and sunny-side-ups!

5. The Simplest Health Boost Ever
Want to feel more alert, think clearer, and look better — instantly? Drink more water. No, really. Whatever you’re drinking now, it’s probably not enough. Proper hydration helps your energy, digestion, and even mood. Start your day with a big glass, and you’ll feel the difference by lunchtime.
