1

You take aluminum foil out of the package and tear it off.

2

Here’s the right way to do it: On almost every box of aluminum foil, there’s a perforated tab on either side. Punch those in to keep the roll in place in the box, and just take as much foil as you need with ease.

You break pieces off a Toblerone bar outward.

3

You cross out something with a straight line.

10

Here’s the right way to do it: If you really don’t want someone to be able to read what you’ve crossed out, write over mistakes with other words or scribbles. It makes your errors much harder to decipher.

You cut your bread from top to bottom.

You simply put your straw into the can.

You throw your shopping bags into the shopping cart.

18

Here’s the right way to do it: Look for little tabs on the cart, right behind the child seat. You can actually hang bags off of them to really optimize for space inside your cart as you’re wheeling it out to your car.

When you want a cool beverage quickly, you throw your drink in the freezer and hope for the best.
