Do you think any of these are going to work??
yes
hiii
yup.
i think the acids or sum gonna do sum
Yes
Can we start a petition to get 5 minute crafts banned for scamming people and potentially damaging peoples stuff???
And possibly also hurting someone? Iâd sign that petition!
BAN IT
I prefer the option to change the name permanently for 5 minutes-craps
yes

Broken glass: pick up big pieces, use vacuum cleaner for small ones.
Acne: put zinc ointment on swollen pimples. Bathing in pool with clorated water helps in general, though doesn't help completely, but does reduce big pimples.
Stinging eyes: cold. Literally stick your head in your fridge for a minute reduces the stinging.
Rust: scrubbing with bicarbonate soda and a bit of water works better than an onion, though not perfectly. It probably doesn't work on a rusty pipe, but if you like burnt a bit of food in a saucepan it works decently.
Burn marks on clothes: buy new shirt. xD
In conclusion: 5 Minute Crafts are a bunch of liars.
Agree
If you look closely they are called 5 minute craps

Correct
I've known that about as long as I've know about 5 minute crafts.
Brooms work better than onions. They also taste better too.
Do not insult the onions
Brooms you eat
both can make you cry
@@bellebrainner9391 yeah, you only have to hit hard enough
Ew
Glass one: something softer, such as an apple or pear would likely work better. But you would still get juice over your surface.
Onion vs acne: I remember my grandma used onion to treat a wasp (vespula germanica) sting. Not sure if it had any effect, since it was the only time a wasp stung me that I remember.
Onion vs burnmark: How was that even supposed to work. Burn marks are partial carbonisation. There was no way onion juice would repair the destroyed complex molecules.
hello fellow smart human
I agree... A bit odd...
For the glass one, I'm from Switzerland so we rarely stumble upon the kind of giant onion Cali and Nate had, but we more reliably can find potatoes the size of your fist, sooo... That's where my mind got first. If you're really going to go for vegetable alternatives for picking up glass, I'd think it would be better (potatoes having... close to no smell, and if you get a bit of stark on your surface it's easily washed off)
Whatever happened to using a slice of bread to help pick up the smaller glass shards?
@@brandonogden3498 Personally, never heard that one x) We just use a dustpan, and dispose of the shards safely.
Hard to keep your common sense on when you're actively trying to avoid the obvious answer
Hereâs a hint use a dust pan to pick up the broken glass. Huh am I right?
That's what I thought when he said a wet washcloth would work, a dustpan is the best choice.
Or a âšđ«hoverâšđ«
Dust pan then a vacuum because there would still be little bits left
The best way to avoid crying when chopping onions is by not forming an emotional attachment
Stick your tongue out to mock it. Genuine note, it actually does work, your tongue absorbs a lot of the fumes that makes your eyes water.
I've always heard that the best way to avoid crying when chopping onions is using a very sharp knife, because the chemical that makes you cry is released when the cell walls are crushed.
So, I would assume that freezing the onion would rupture the cell walls far worse than a mere dull knife, making it incredibly potent.
I tend to put some wet paper towels near where I'm chopping the onions. The sulfenic acid in them reacts with the water in your eyes to create sulfuric acid which is what creates that burning feeling and makes you cry. Having a source of water near the onions helps to trap the sulfenic acid coming from them rather than heading towards your eyes. It's not 100% perfect but it seems to work.
Holding a lit and extinguished match between your teeth ?
Cutting across the grain rather than with the grain might help some.
Or just wear contacts if u have them lol
Yes you are correct
New information: Nate is horrible at chopping onions.
Yes
so am I, mostly because my eyes react so strongly to the onion fumes.

My odd trick to prevent crying from onions is actually rubbing a little bit of lemon juice on my bottom eyelid. It sounds weird but it works super well! Be careful to not get the lemon in your eyes though.
I may try this! Thanks for sharing this information!!!!
Or if your comfortable wearing swimming goggles, you can wear one. :))
Did you know that drinking mustard gas can make you not taste mustard. Highly effective
Hold a piece of bread in your mouth it works no lie
Just eat the onions

moral of the story:
if u want to experience depression try the hacks at 5 mins craft
5 mins craps
Actually I got a better way to experience depression. Get a girlfriend. Get attached to her. Stay dating for half a year. Then she cheats on you. Thatâs how you get depression. This is how you cure it ( how it worked for me ) watch anime all the time. Any free time watch anime. It can be a long series. Or a short one. Watch any genre that makes you happy
I've never seen mate in more pain and cringing than when he chopped up onions.
If the onion is too dry, cut it up and cry.
Nice Profile Picture
@VeryBigVirus no, ur dry
I read it, "Can Onions Rust?" at first.
lmao same
To oxidize they would need something to bond to. Usually ( and I may be mistaken ) it would be a non-Nobel metal. ie. iron, cobalt, stonium, uranium, ect. However silver has beautiful oxidation ability. Gold is difficult. Cooper easy. Platinum, iridium, rhodium, osmonium, and another I do not remember are very difficult to oxidize.
Yes they can they can rust your eyes

I believe red onion is the common way to refer to them in the states as well but they do appear reddish purple so it's not entirely inaccurate either way đ
It's called oignon rouge in french which means red onion too lol. But yeah it's clearly purple.
In my country (India) it's call Lal canda

Just wear googles when cutting onions to avoid crying
I tried that ........
it ain't workin'
Millions of years of human civilization and nobody found a way to not crying while cutting onions.
Or perhaps chewing gum? I think that's a hack. But I don't remember fully. ·_·
@@shh11111 if your knife is properly sharpened then your eyes wonât tear up as you cut onions.
When his eyes was in the vapor of the onion my eyes started to hurt lol
Well, that first one is literally a Glass Onion like The Beatles said.
could you actually to a video testing onion juice removing rust. Idea: get a bowl or cup of just onion juice and let a rusted bolt or piece of pipe and let it soak in the juice for various periods. 1hr, 1day, 1week, and 1 month. TO show the corrosive effects that an onion might have against rust.
You guys should do an experiment with eggs. How they freeze, what they do in a vacuum chamber, what happened if you freeze dry them and many more things.
They did a whole ep od freeze drying eggs

So a few tips I've used and found helpful when dealing with onions. When you chew the gum to help, it does in fact help but you put it in your mouth before you start cutting and you chew it in between your front teeth, not on the sides. Chewing on the sides doesn't work. If your eyes do start to burn, put your face in the path of the cold air from the freezer and then open them. Contacts or goggles will help with the crying also. Walla Walla sweet onions have only made me cry when cooking them. Chopping them I am perfectly fine. As soon as they have heat put to them though, it's a different story. We also use damp paper towels to clean up broken glass. Wipe then toss. Love watching you guys keep up the great work.
Only thing that works to not make you cry when chopping an onion is to not get emotionally attached to it...
Love your work.
Thanks.
Independent variable: The myth

Iâm surprised that they didnât cry the whole vid lol
Same QWQ
Fun fact: if youâre wearing contacts, cutting onion wonât make you cry.
Wow
I've worn contacts for years now. I can say from personal experience they still make you cry even wearing contacts.
Oh... idk if its the onions that's making me cry thenđ
As a regular contact wearer and person who loves to cook, this is false. Or maybe I'm just extra sensitive.
It works for me, I've been using it for quite some years now, never had a problem with onions while wearing it.
This hack really works!! Cut the ends off the onion and peel it. Then put the onion in a bowl with water and ice!! Let sit for an hour and then cut it!! No more tears!!
After a stint in my youth at a restaurant chopping many, many onions, I found two defenses: Hold a piece of bread in your mouth (downside: you wind up with onion flavored, spit-soggy bread), or cut by a flame - we used almost-empty Sterno canisters, but a candle also works.

Hacks when cutting an onion to avoid crying: Leave the root of the onion intact.
Or just wear goggles

Everyone hippity hopping this comment section is now my property
My man has 3 comments lol.
It is amazing of how unfunny you are
It is amazing how you try to get like with 3 comments but all were super unfunny
Iâm early but donât know what to say-
FYI if your eyes are irritated while cutting onions turn on your faucet and put your eyes near the running water (like an inch away). I believe the onion juice is hydrophilic which means it is attracted to the water, hence why it goes to your eyes and why the sink trick works.
We were always told in culinary that if you chill and onion before you cut it, it slows down the stuff that get in the air when you rupture the cell walls of the đ§ you have to cut the onion while still fairly cold for the affect to work
nice to see Calli being more positive and happy
I actually use the mint gum method so much as someone who is super susceptible to onions. It makes a huge noticeable difference for me.
When you were chopping the onions I started crying
I could feel my eyes stinging when you did the gum hack.
Try running your hands under water for a little bit when chopping onions and start to cry it really helps me I have tried it on many occasions.
As the onion is cut it releases acid vapors into the air. Washing the juice off your hands would reduce how much vapor is put in the air so it would indeed help it getting worse
@@Gay_Priest thx I didn't know why it worked I just knew it helped me
Thatâs so sad! The chewing gum experiment brought tears to Nateâs eyes!! LOL!!! Thank you for your sacrifice!! â€ïžđâ€ïžđâ€ïž
8:41 idk about removing rust, but onion juice does tend to very quickly give steel a patina, which darkens it and should make it less susceptible to rust.
I couldn't help wondering how gum would help with onion tears. It's not the odor, it's the oils. If you cut the bottom of the onion off first, release the oils, then cut off the top, it's better. (I didn't make that up, I got it from Jeff Smith, the Frugal Gourmet)
I don't know if this would work on a burn mark, but peroxide and vinegar mixed 1:1 and dabbed on before washing, removes a great many stains, without damaging the fabric or the dye. It will get out theatrical grease paint makeup from clothing -- along with many different things. (Found that out from the Vogue stain removal book) Also, got blood on your clothing? Peroxide, let it fizz, then wash it in cold water.
Well here in south africa I know this is a popular thing we clean our braais (BBQ) with onions, just cut it in half, stab a fork into it, and while the fires on and heated up the grill you just run the onion along it pressed hard and it kind of helpes get the fats and old meat off the grill if there is any stuck there
For removing rust, I've used coke, lemon juice, and baking soda water. Then baking soda water and coke for battery corrosion.
4:48 I bet youâre missing those black gloves you used to always wear right about now! đ€đ€Ł
My favorite onion hack is to cut the end off of an onion. Then using a oven mitt or wet wash rag, grab the onion, and grate the onion over a hot grill to clean it.
One thing i learned when cutting an onion that works every time for me. Cut the stem part off the onion. Place the onion cut side down on a piece of paper towel. Let sit for a couple minutes. Cut root side off and repeat with newly cut side down. Let sit for another couple minutes. Chop onion with no tears. Let me know if this works for you.
I'm a cook at a restaurant and work with onions everyday. Mainly the purple ones which do seem worse in making me tear up. A coworker once suggested to breath through my mouth as I'm chopping onions. I found it can help but depends on how strong the onions are too whether it works or not.
I know that rinsing the onion off before cutting it does help .. also take off the skin and two top layers off before rinsing it . There is a small film that causes the misting of the onion juice.. also breathing through your mouth and not your nose also helps as well. But the best way is still to make a slit and take the skin and top two layers off then rinse in warm water before chopping

3:58 the Q-tip isn't even touching the actor's face because he doesn't want onion juice on his chin lol
also it's suddenly smooth and not wet as if it was never even put in the juice
Did anyone else's eyes start watering when Nate was cutting the onion?
You can use onions to help take away the smell of paint, just cut an onion in half and near the painted area, I have done this and for me it worked.
I know im two months late but freeze your onion and cut it while its still frozen it helps your eyes alot
Another use that they mentioned but didn't do for medical reasons, is onion for acne med. One use my grandma tried with me was dealing with bug bites and stings (bee, wasps) is take a cool onion and place it over the bite , cold to sooth and obsorbs some of the toxins from the bite. This was over 20 years ago.
In South Africa, we have something called a braai, which is basically a much better version of a barbeque. And we use onions to clean the grill before putting meat on. It really does work, the key is heat, and if it's really coated hard then a little hand-powered scrubbing helps.
I usually eat a small piece of the onion before I cut it and seems to work for me but uhhg Cali still reminds me of of the definition of beauty
Real life helpful advice for dealing with stinging eyes while cutting unions - try to minimise contact with skin and was hands with cold water.
I have no idea why or even if it's a placebo, but we use gum (orbit sweet mint, if it matters) and it absolutely works for us
From 5:48 I have learned to not trust Nate to have a knife, or even cut something
4:10 glad I'm not the only one with these struggles
The chopping board doesn't look any better than a crime scene! LOL
2:34 is that blood on the glass?
Nevermind its red union juice
With the crying from onions. I heard to chew it with your mouth open and the wetness from your mouth stops the smell from hitting your eyes. Or hold a tooth pick in your mouth. Or keep a cup of vinegar around to take in the smell
