10 Everyday Things You've Been Doing All Wrong

7. Dispensing Tic Tacs

Never mind the fact that eating just one Tic Tac at a time seems like some sort of punishment adults shouldn't have to deal with, because the candy's manufacturers intended them to be consumed that way. Don't believe us? Then take a gander at the box and notice that handy little tab on the inside of the lid.

It's there to ensure you have a superior mint-eating experience free of crushed sweeties on the ground or a lap full of tiny capsules. Spilling Tic Tacs is an every day problem for those who eat them, and that's because we've been doing it wrong. What a bunch of greedy gits.

Shaking the box upside down (with the lid closed) is the right way. Then, grab the lip, open it and huzzah. There you have it, just one solo Tic Tac that'll take about 0.2 seconds to swallow before you have to start the whole procedure all over again.

We'll probably just shake the box (lid open) into our mouths, but it's nice to know the correct way.
