Life hack for the potato Rose idea- you can ACTUALLY plant the potato, with the Rose still stuck in it in the ground, and you can grow a rose bush from that single rose and potato. Cut the rose a little shorter, stick in the potato, dig a hole big enough to cover the potato and water it. A rose bush will grow of the same color as the rose. My mother in law has a garden full of these! Amazing really- it was a trick her grandmother taught her.
No kidding! That is really cool! I know my ex used to work at a marina, and was a master at saving plants that were dying and sick corals- he could take the tiniest sliver of something and seemingly bring it back to life! i see the rose in the potato thing as being quite similar!
That is insanely cool
I did it and got some pretty good and tasty potatoes. No roses
My grandma used this as well
Interesting.
OMG That poor boot. You completely misunderstood what you were supposed to do.
The trick is for new leather products. It strips off stuff from the initial manufacture allowing the leather to take the polish better. You're supposed to immediately polish the boots after you stripped it with the lemon.
Also, never ever polish a wet boot.
and take out the shoelaces first...include the tongue in cleaning...
Oh, excellent! This'll help when i get new Docs. Did you know that brand new leather boots do not feel like leather at all? It feels like plastic. I got my first pair in december 2010. Still going strong, except for the crack in the front where dumbhead me stepped too close to a bon fire.
Shawn Stafford it’s been so long I can’t be sure if it was the UK or China.. All I remover is that my grandpa made a comment that they weren’t made in the US
@Shawn Stafford I tried that too and it worked but I applied to isopropyl to the inside of the show where it was a bit tight and packed it with newspaper.
The inside of a banana skin rubbed onto the outside of a pair of DMs then buffed off works a treat too and gives a lovely shine .
An old gentleman I used to 4 wheel with always brought desert for our lunches. He would bring ice cream, but he did not own a cooler. The old gentleman would wrap the box of ice cream in several layers of wet newspaper, then place the contraption in a paper grocery bag. 6 hours later the ice cream would still be frozen.
Physics! Yay!
Modern life is built on using current technology. I'll admit, when I tried to imagine the step between cellars and fridges, the ice box, it blew my mind, that you could actually keep food around that way. Apparently ice itself was a uniquely American venture, that had to be marketed. Probably why Brits drink beer at room temp.
Americans waste food/dinner if they only knew how long food stays good in your refrigerator, a lot longer than what's suggested........
That's smart.
Cotton is not linen, modern pen ink is not the same chemical composition as "antique" old ink. Just a thought....
That's food for thought
@@koniel1197 ewwww, linen (or cotton, or "antique" old ink) are DEFINITELY not food! lol (sorry, couldn't resist).
More like just a fact
Also milk is probably unpasteurized
And the milk was probably not as cold as refrigerated milk
That was a damn well trick at the end, you spit out some soda and bent over to get it onto your back.
that was the first time i saw someone spill something on his back
I'm dead XD
i saw that too haha
zioxei he tryed to do the Kim Kardashian champagne pour
That's why we had to include it!
TIP FOR ANYONE WITH A STAIN: put a little shampoo on the spot with the stain and rub the shampoo in. I usally fold over the stained area and rub against itself. Then wash it away! (my mom taught me this and i got gravy out of my white hoodie, and sharpie out of my shirt)
you Vietnamese and live in Massachusetts? I might know you
Nope, I'm from washington
okay
....so still use soap....
no, but, you do you :-)
Can't afford a fitted carpet? Tape carpet tiles to the soles of your shoes for that luxury underfoot comfort!
Can't afford a girlfriend? Tape carpet...
Michael McDonnell
Hahaha hahaha
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤟
Beautiful😂😂😂
You mean staple, right?
😂🤣👍
Bro your hammer is 6" long. That's why you had leverage issues with the friggin nail lol
Lmao that what I was going to say barely had even any space to grab it
Little person hammer or a woman hammer.. Wrong tool for the job
A 16” long hammer is helpful and what I like to use because it is the length center to center between studs.
the old style ink was protein based the milk will eat it if it's true old style quill type ink
Where can I buy this elbow grease that you speak of?
Austin Husson lol
Austin Husson you can buy some from the same place that sells blinker fluid and muffler bearings grease try amazon or eBay
Austin Husson underated comment
It's harvested from the babies killed in abortions. You can buy it real cheap in poor neighborhoods.
You can find some next to the headlight fluid.
The original milk stain remover was most likely with raw/unpasteurized milk.
Whole Milk too?
Ink wouldnt be ball point ink either
And cotton is different that linen
today's ink can be removed with hair spray or rubbing alcohol
I wonder if heavy cream would work better, then. I miss farm fresh milk and making our own butter.(sigh)
dear sweetie person - my grandparents had a very good flower shop - using scissors to cut the stem crushes and bruises the plant. it is better to cut it on a slant with a very sharp knife. a vegetable knife is fine. :}
And you have a maximum of 17 seconds to get the cut flower into water or the potato, before the cut seals up. 👍🏻👍🏻 (My parents owned a flower shop, I grew up working there. Len Busch, a famous grower and developer of roses, taught us about cutting with a sharp knife, at an angle, using only warm water, and that timing thing.)
Cut stems under water and let them soak up the H2O
thank you, I love flowers and this is a tip I did not know!! I always cut them under water so air soes not go in the stem....only water does. does that make sense to you?:)
@@lovinlife6941 ⅞4
.
@@lovinlife6941 thanks - good idea, although i never saw people do this in a flower shop. :}
You know what's funny? You used the wrong kind of ink. if these "lifehacks" are from 100 years ago then they used fountain pens or dip pens. which uses a completely different kind of ink. this ink will stain anything and everything for ever.
GalaxyOutcast And milk was different 100 years ago.
L Malino for real
Was about to post a similar comment.. Ball point pens are fairly recent...
had more fat because they didn't take it out now milk fat is "unhealthy" but its not whole milk is really healthy
mr Molasses I don't give a fuck. it's still the wrong ink. Do understand that fountain pen ink is much much thinner than ball point pens and stains much worse than ball points pens? fuck the milk think about the ink
I think they were talking about fountain pen not ball point pen
Nirpesh Thakur and unprocessed milk
Is there a significant chemical makeup difference between the two? I had assumed they were the same, but seems not?
boodman995 ballpoint pens use oil based ink while fountain pens use water based ink
151Bryce huh, I didn't know that, that's interesting!
A t-shirt is not the same fabric as a handkerchief either.
4:00 card read NEW boots are hard to polish. Rub lemon on NEW boots and it’ll make them easier to polish! Rub lemon on old dirty boots and it’ll clean them.
@Shawn Stafford Also rub Vaseline into leather and patent shoes ,boots bags
@Shawn Stafford No it won't
Obviously doesn't know the struggle of trying to polish new boots until you can see your own reflection. it takes hours
6:07 that spinner distracted me the whole clip
LOL SAME
These cards were found inside packs of cigarettes 100 years ago. (In the UK at least.) There were many different series ranging over a multitude of themes and were/still are highly collectable.The company, Gallagher, was founded in Ireland and in 1896 had the largest tobacco factory in the world, in Belfast. I remember walking along York St. (Belfast) in 1970s and almost being overpowered by the aroma of Condor Pipe tobacco, boy did it smell good!
(Japan Tobacco became the sole owner of the Gallaher Group on 18 April 2007, in the largest ever foreign acquisition in Japanese history - WiKi)
Garlic smells better than cancer leaves
Interesting! It's like a collect them all cereal box kind of things x)
Cool find !!
+Gtherdether Unburnt dried tobacco surprisingly smells quite pleasant.
TY @Joe Soap
I pretty sure you completely misunderstood the lemon/boot thing. I think the acid in the lemon is meant to break down and roughen up the smooth leather surface of a NEW boot to allow polish to adhere to the surface better. That's all. Nothing to do with cleaning or dirt.
Milk is now more expensive than a T-shirt
really.... you pay 25 bucks for milk?
Not here
@@dawnatilla Really, you pay 25 bucks for a t-shirt!!???!! That comment 100% goes both ways...
No ball or gel pens 100 years ago. The original tip was for fountain pen ink, a different type of ink than modern ones.
@@knightowl3577 I had the same thought. I'm sure modern ink is a stubborn complex composite
That nail pulling hack wouldn't be necessary if you had a proper hammer
Put the wrapped bottle into your freezer for 10 minutes after the flannel is wet. Your bottle will become wayyyy colder, faster, and you won't waste a bunch of water by running it for 10 minutes...
Yes, and my tip is for NOW. Unless you have a Time Machine :p I realize the premise of the film, but there's always going to be people that start doing shit, based on these videos.
pug101 woollard same I was using my fidget spinner while doing
Sprinkle with salt and you won't even need a freezer. #LifeHack
thats for ice not water
put the beer ... er bottles in a bucket and use a co2 extinguisher to cool them .. best use of one that is old or needs to be checked ...
taters are cheap and the flower preserving idea is great. also for anyone who uses crickets for fish bait, a few tater wedges in your cricket box will keep them alive as long as you want
truth matters handy. I’ll have to remember that
truth matters does it work for worms and night crawlers?
Hmmm...a cricket box obviously means something else where you come from...😆😆😆
Cooked or raw
"So if you don't have a serated knife (while using a serated knife) just heat up a regular knife"...Hack busted...😂
If you don’t have a ruler you can also use a $$bill$$ , they’re approximately 6” in length.
these hacks are the best thing since... oh wait
?
Paulo França it's a joke about the common saying "it's the best thing since sliced bread"
Sliced bread was made thousands of years ago not just 100
Zfv
Sliced bread was made in 1928. Sliced bread is the best thing since Betty White.
2:01 Is that how the 1000 degree knife originated?
You watch aps
yousef almansour Yup
A clown that DOES NOT want 1,500 subscribers yay
yousef almansour yes
+A clown that DOES NOT want 1,500 subscribers fuck you beat me to it!!!
To the second one, it wasn't about regular pen ink from today, it was for fountain pen ink which is alot more likely to spill and is not like a gel, but rather like water but black.
I think they were talking specifically about 'new' bread still warm out of the oven. I bake bread at home and can vouch for the fact that it is VERY difficult to slice thinly. I'll give the warm knife idea a try.
Inks have changed drastically since the early 1900's. Petrochemicals were added to darken & add better contrast against the paper; alcohol & derivatives were added for quick drying.
Removing the ink stains with milk - in 1916 they were talking about fountain pens and liquid ink, not ballpoints, and they were talking about a linen handkerchief, not a polyester or other synthetic fabric. When I get ballpoint ink on fabric, the best thing I have found to remove it is hairspray.
That's because the hairspray partially fills in the surface damage that the ballpoint itself did to the fabric. The milk DID get the actual ink out, though, but couldn't do anything to repair the physical damage.
Hand sanitizer works, too.
Plus the half a crowns and pennies were english money, not american money...
SG (Salon Grafix) worked best for me
I agree, I have used hair spray as well and it removed all the ink from a ball point that exploded in my pocket.
"It will serve to keep the cold in" *Hisses in thermodynamics*
Yes, it "Insulates against heat loss"
But tell that to an 8 year old, picking up ice cubes with wispy ice vapors wafting around.
I think ink a hundred years ago was probably a different chemistry than the ink in a modern ball point pen
No need to think that. You should KNOW that without too much thinking.
ink from 100 years ago to now. as well as milk, are completely different.
milk is milk dude, it hasn't changed
parris cromwell Dumb AF
parris cromwell milk is treated and separated much differently than before. The enzymes and fats are completely different. Pasteurizing changes the protein structure, and kills enzymes. Deactivating them. Also, don't believe enzymes help? Go to the store and actually read the laundry detergent boxes, many advertise enzymes to help. Milk is not just milk. 😉
parris cromwell how the fuck has the milk changed?
Are the cows on steroids and drugs now?
Anonymous Entity
lol, back in the day they used to drink raw milk. They didn't have cows confined in the city so disease wasn't as much as issue.
Pasteurized milk has no active enzymes, the protein structure (both of which are required for this trick to work) are completely changed our desires from the heat, as well as straining, and separating fat, cream, (1,2%, homogenization, etc).
It is different in the sense that makes the hack work. 😉
that first one, not a secret hack. ask anyone who's ever done carpentry and they can tell you how to do that
Caryn and his hammer is fucking tiny lookaditt
Also turn the hammer on its side and use a rocking motion. The nail will be ruin but it will be out.
Caryn thank god everyone is a fucking carpenter huh jackass
Caryn I'm not a carpenter and I know that. fuck this clickbait fucker
Caryn I've never done carpentry. I've figured out something like this tho.
Tried the lemons on my work boots, was curious how well it would work. Really liked the results.
It would be cool if some company recreated these cards for sale today!
"Forgotten Potatoes" the saddest thing I have ever heard in this channel 😢. Who would forget potatoes??😭
I have... ;-;
😂😂😂😂😂Wtf... Lmao!
I have many many times. Those poor poor potatoes.
Crab Lover dinner
They're not "forgotten" so much as "allowed to flourish in the pantry without being boiled, smashed and ultimately consumed." Think of it that way!
the milk hack works best on calligraphy ink because modern pens weren't around at the time. calligraphy or fountain pen ink is the most similar yo the ink of the time. I know cause I manage to dip my hoodie sleeves in ink all the time.
Jennifer D'yavol fun fact the fountain pen was first invented in 1889 but did not become popular until the 30s :3
The milk DID remove the ball point ink - the milk fat bonded with the ink and swelled up and it came out of the fabric. It was NOT able to remove the marks the ball point itself made in the surface of the shirt, however. Ball point pens tend to etch the surface of the media it's used on, EVEN IF THEY ARE FILLED WITH Fountain Pen, or Calligraphy ink...it's similar to writing with a knife. That's why some kids make homemade tattoos using ballpoint pens (not a wise thing to do); the ballpoint actually cuts through some of the layers of the skins and deposits the ink beneath the surface.
I wish I'd known that when I spilled ink all over my pink shag rug
Stupid goth
That's because the older type of ink was made from organic chemicals, while modern inks are not. Milk works best on organic pigments rather than synthetic ones.
I thought he said 1960 and I was very confused
Am I the only one concerned about his relationship with the bread...?
What, you don't "plunge your knife into helpless bread" ?
I bet you're one of those modern city slickers that don't have the stomach to kill your own bread, so you get the farmers to cut and bag it for you ;)
1st hack
dont move try to pull out the nail by levering the hammer on its vertical axis, lay it over on its horizontal axis so that the nail bends over the side of the hammer
I believe you can use the fresh flower/potato hack to root roses.
Maybe other green leafy recently legalized things? Clonex costs more than fussets.
@@jlsmith4054
Cloning is super easy, just by a rooting agent. It's like 5$, cut the piece u want to clone, cut the bottom of the clipping at a 45 degree angle and make sure that you scrape the sides lightly with a blade, kind of lightly removing outer skin, now dip it in water, than dip the clipping in the rooting powder, tap off the excess, either put in a jif pellet or you can just put it in a glass of water, keep away from the light and wait a few days, a week at max and than BAM!! roots. After that just plant in your foxfarm or happyfrog soil and you know the rest😉👌. Than again you sound like you got a few tricks up your sleeve.
First time I've come across ur videos. Must say that this one was brilliant. Ty.
What if the label on your bottle is crooked?
The labels are put on in factories by machines, not hands. So they are most likely not crooked.
well now you're fucked
@@SurprisedSniper420 I worked at a bottler. You are incorrect. The machines aren't sentient you fucktard. They have to be set up by a human. Change the bottle/s and you have to set the machine/s up for that particular bottle size/shape. People who have zero experience with something shouldn't comment on it. You just make an ass out of yourself. Humans aren't perfect and no machine will ever be perfect because.... ...humans create the fucking machines you ignorant child.
@@troynelson8896 Who hurt you? Obviously someone, based on your rude and angry rant. Sure, machines have to be set up by humans, but once set up, they are much more reliable in regards to things like applying labels straight. There's a reason machines are used. Sniper didn't make an ass out of themselves, you did. They're right - most likely, the label will be straight. They never said '100% because machines are alive'.
Mind blown.
8:25 how do you manage spit out soda on your own back?

It went out of the bottle because there was a lot of fizz, so be bent over and the fizz went down and landed on his back.
I was wondering if I was the only one that saw that
Cool stuff in the video tho

The secret to that trick will be shown on next week's episode of "100 year old spit techniques " lol
Chubby Bunnies you misspelled 'Jizz'
Ink & milk were very different back then.
Obviously, using non-fat or 2% won't work :p. Heavy cream might work even better.
Purple and Gold yes, while the idea of the video is to see if they work today.
Yeah, and I think they meant a fountain pen not ballpoint
Absolutely thought you said "in 1960" 4 different times till I held my phone up to my ear. Was very confused for a minute 🤣

The ink stain trick would not work well on today's modern ink's, conventional ink's of the day in 1916 did not dry immediately as they do now and took time to soak in.
He was using a modern day pen
Fountain pens typically use a water based ink while ball points use an oil based ink.
Calvin Hart No dip sherlock.
I absolutely heard '100 years ago in 1960' and was just so upset about it.
jupiknight same! I was wondering why more people haven't commented on it haha
He said 1916, but he pronounced 16 as "SIX-teen." Most people pronounce 16 as "six-TEEN" and 60 as "SIX-ty," hence the confusion. Must be his accent.
@@jesinon if he pronounced 16 as as SIX-teen then it would have still sounded like 16 and not 60
Oh ikr!?!
Even though it is from 1916 so he recorded it in 2016. It's 2019 now, so 103 years

Ohh wow look at you with your fancy fine ground flour. I guess our gruel made with chaff and puddlewater isn't good enough for you?!?
The trick is to put the rye under a heavy stone with a stick through it and have a mule or a captured enemy tied to that stick walk in circles till it's ground to a fine flour.

I use milk to remove stains from kitchen counters, especially food coloring
Milk removes blood, also.😁
i found using the tablets to soak dentures in to clean hair dye and other colorful stains from sinks' tubs toilets & counter tops too. was surprised it worked on the purple hair dye my daughter put in her hair while in the bathroom then wandered around the house waiting for it to be ready to rinse out then rinsed it out in the kitchen sink. so i had purple all over the house the polident tablets work better than the generic brands did.
"If you wanna save space as well as taters, Precious"...that one comment deserves all the upvotes
For the bread, they meant the fresh, hot homemade bread!
Agreed. I wish I'd seen this video yesterday, as I made bread and had a heck of a time trying to slice it fresh from the oven. The gluten in the bread sticks all over the knife. My solution was to coat the knife with cooking spray. Not exactly a 100-year old hack, is it? LOL
Was just coming down here to say that :D
your bread would have been better with a ten minute rest.
Until the 60s they called bread that is less than a day old, new bread.
You never slice hot bread. Destroys the gluten bonds and smashes the bread. Bread Back then was sold unsliced and you had to slice it yourself. This hack of course will work for any unsliced bread, but for the love of God, never cut into hot bread!

I was thinking the same thing... I saw green room on Netflix that’s a skin head thing 🤨
I was enjoying this video until the scientist in me started criticizing their methods and shouting "where's the control!?" 😤
The ink one would have worked better if they had used fountain pen ink as they would of had in 1916, modern inks are made differently but even so it was good to see it worked to a certain degree.
The life hacks 100 years ago would've been trying to survive on the western front in ww1
Gosh, in USA its still West, earth is round
Some of these cards were actually created with troops in mind. British soldiers were issued packs of cigarettes with cards like these. Some were pretty girls, some were tributes to the soldiers themselves (with cards featuring artwork and commendments of, say, the tank corps, royal artillery or red cross) and some contained 'life hacks' and advice for men who were living with limited supplies and experience. Unofficial trench newspapers, produced by the soldiers themselves, also provided tips for each other, such as the best stitches to use when repairing uniforms or how to make your own earplugs for use during heavy shelling.
That last one, with the bottle is even better by wrapping it in paper towel, wetting it, and placing it in the freezer for about 15 minutes.
They didn’t have supper cold freezers back then
Judi Lynn Bottle cooling with wet newspapers is still a standard life hack at music festivals and other far from home drinking occasions.
Sci Show recently put out an episode about how we only recently figured out HOW washing machines get clothes clean, and it seems that whilst detergent binds to the dirt, it can't get out of the fibres by itself, making the rinse step necessary. Assuming the milk legitimately binds to the ink getting it OFF the clothes, it should just requires a good rinsing to get it OUT of the clothes.
How do I remove blood from my -dueling- ... shirt
COLD water and tonic water (the type with quinine). Dab, don't scrub, and work from outside to in so you don't spread the stain.

My oldschool life hack: pee in your boots to make them fit perfect. Haven't tested it yet, but quite sure it works... ;-)

hole - 1st drill press channel f fm
You're welcome kenny! :D
This trick works for almost anything that doesn't fit. Eg, you work doesn't fit in your life. Just pee on your boss and you don't have to worry about it any more.
Kenrick Halff pee on him to show dominance
No wonder you had difficulty with the nail. Look how ridiculously small the handle on that hammer was!!!
Was from my thought as well, actually. With a lever that short, good luck. Proper framing hammer would have popped that thing right out no sweat with a small block if needed to prevent marring of the substrate.
Awesome
Thanks for sharing
God bless
I once got pen ink on my bed spread and freaked then I learned you can spray some hairspray on the spot and it was away at the ink.
wrong pen...ballpoint pens were invented in the 50's, the ink would have been from a fountain pen. Much more fluid, ballpoints use thicker ink.
The hammer wasn't long enough for the leverage required. Use a longer one and try again.
7:06 I like how he said “this seems a bit overkill” when they have a whole series of over complicated life hacks
y'all must not make fresh bread because it's hard to slice thin 😂
I bake fresh bread. and it slices nicely for your info.
The ink stain hack.. firstly the biro ink is something entirely different to what the hack is supposed to fix, secondly vigorously rubbing with a sponge was not part of the og hack and is a stupid idea with any stain, thirdly the particles that appeared after rubbing are bits of the cotton fabric not ink particles. Good try but each of these vintage hacks was wrecked with new age technology and idiocy
a troll ❗️You beat me to it..., as soon as he suggested the rough sponge, I quit watching the video and scrolled down to leave a comment (something I rarely do).
[1] What a WASTE of milk;
[2] A rough sponge will cause the fabric to “pile,” (when used as a noun), are the little nubs that form on most fabrics that most folks try to get rid of, not create (there’s a little handheld battery-run device that will remove them [I bought one last year]). This is the most inane suggestion I’ve ever heard of❗️ He should move it to the end of the video if you wants people to watch it all.
[3] There’s an easier, more practical, and probably cheaper way (if you figure in the milk, as well as the t-shirt that will be ruined): It’s called Carbona Stain Devils #3-it removes: ballpoint pen, crayon, felt-tip pen, pencil, and roller ball ink. They make formulas for any type of stain-I’ve been using #3 for as far back as I can remember.! It has never failed me..., even on upholstery when I couldn’t access the back of the material! The directions sound really strange because they want you to ‘tap’ on the stain, not blot it. It comes in a little yellow bottle but be sure to read the directions. There are also a gazillion different ways of removing ANY type of ink stain if you Google it-most include common, everyday household products-NOT EVEN 1 of those methods included a rough sponge!
Paula Angel Nielsen The rough texture on fabric is called pilling or pills not piles....because they look like tiny pills I guess.
As I said above; the milk hack worked, on the ink itself. What it could NOT remove was the surface damage caused by the ballpoint itself. Old style pens allowed ink to just flow with no physical damage to the surface of the media. Ballpoints use friction (especially since the little balls rarely roll smoothly) which damages the surface. It's like writing on a pad of paper with a ballpoint; the next few pages also have the message embossed into the surface.
Paula Angel Nielsen they didn't have Carbona Stain Devils 100 years ago.
human the ink in ball point pens is a gel based thick ink where 100 years ago fountain pen in was liquid and was comparable to water in the way it flows
4:36 Sooo you hold the cards with gloves on like they are precious yet you just toss it.....
Removing a stain...Billy Mays...."HOLD MY BEER (COKE)" !
Man I had missed his infomercials. Was kind of shocked when he passed away.
To be fair, at this time fountain pens were used: it would have been water based ink and not the oil based ink that you would use in a modern ballpoint.
Go to Staples and Grab some Parker quink if you want to retry this..
I use rubbing alcohol to get ink out.
I really enjoyed this!
Moving the cards around like that is so irritating!!!!
If you had used a full length handle on the hammer you would of got it in the first try.
Fairy liquid works pretty well for stains. Just put it on the stain, rub it in , then add a drop more let it soak for 10 minutes and stick it in the wash
Poppy Finn yeah, but maybe it could be used now if you don’t have that around. And it’s old.
The bread hack is actually talking about FRESH bread -- as in, still warm from the oven -- which is super hard to cut into functional slices. The loaf of bread in the video is clearly rock-hard, as opposed to the "soft, yielding new bread" referred to on the card.
Seeing as ink was much much different 100 years ago, I was pleased to see it all worked really well. Thanks for the cool video!
Maybe warming the milk speeds up the process for getting rid of ink stains. I once got some fountain pen ink on a cover and the stain disappeared in seconds with warm milk.
Katanya Jason its because he didn't use fountain pen ink
Welcome to the comment section where you will find people complaining about ink and milk
hahah hahahaha
Complaint is justified.
I hear tall tales about milk coming from the underside of an ungulate of some sort! These trolls really no know bounds...
Ink and milk are surprisingly difficult to portmanteau...
Ball pen ink is not what they were talking about...
love this video - thanks much :}
Funny ending 😁 Keep up the great video.👍

hey zioxei, can you figure out how much i weigh in quarters? since you life is so boring i might as well give you something to do. im 110 LBS
241 pounds constitutes a fat ass? I guess I'm fucked because I'm 267, but I started at 295, 2 months ago and won't stop till probably 210
How did they have ziplock backs 100 years ago
Also with the ink and milk, when that card was written milk wasn't assumed to be pasteurized, because it wouldn't be legally required until 1947.
There maybe be something more to the microbes and such that are killed in pasteurization that could help break up the ink
I think it has more to do with the extra fats present in whole milk.
Ah the good old days of elbow grease and wood! Before robots and crappy plastics were a thing!
Handkerchiefs should come back if we want to save the the trees
Nobody wants to carry their snot wadded up in their pocket
@@marybowling27126 A lot of times there's nowhere else to put it. At least, that's true for me since I work on a farm (I don't do this at the moment, and would never do it while I work with food, but it's still useful).
@@BH-nu6nd I recall my grandfather always having one in his pocket. I would watch my grandmother wash them... good lord- you have to love someone A LOT to wash their blood, snot, mushed bug guts and what have you, out of a square of cotton. 😉
@@marybowling27126 Hahaha, yes. I like washing machines. I like them a lot.
@@BH-nu6nd hehe, not sure that they feel the same about you, Jack 😂😂
All you have to do is use hairspray on ballpoint pen ink. It just disappears. The ink they are talking about is liquid ink used for pen nibs
Hahaha! 🤣
I cant tell you how many times I've written "taters precious" and "bread (which we forgot the taste of)" on shopping lists. I like leaving them in the cart after I'm done grocery shopping and imagining people's reactions. I just hope they smile :)

If you can't use a claw hammer, you should leave them alone and ask your dad for help. Ha ha
Haha if you call that a hammer. No wonder he couldnt pull a nail with it.. 4 inch handle for leverage..
And the little piece of wood would have worked fine if it had been paralell with the "hammer" instead of trying to use an inch and a half wide piece of scrap. Nothing to do with its height, there just wasn't any material at the leverage point.
Apparently he does not possess a basic knowledge of "Physics"
D James, I would if I could find him. He said we were gonna play hide-n-seek and he's been hiding for twelve years now...
Don't worry. He'll be back when he gets that pack of cigarettes he went for.
A lot of my family freezes glass cups/mugs in the freezer. It actually works pretty well
back then they had ice boxes at the most. they had to buy ice blocks. most could not afford it but once a month. luxury.
