Useful things that you didn't know existed

Akrasia

Today I had an exam for the first time in about 16 years and I forgot to bring a pencil case full of Biros, so I had to go to the shop to buy something to write with and I discovered that there is such a thing as ballpoint pens that you can rub out like it was a pencil.

I thought, this can't possibly be true, but I used it today, and, well, it does what it says it does.

Madness. No more tipp-ex, more half erased mistakes that are obvious to anyone who bothers to check them.

I paid 3 euros for my magic pen, I'll spend much more euros getting my mind un-blown

Does anyone else have any useful things that most people don't know about?

A mini spatula for the end of your foundation bottle when there's a lot left around the sides and bottom but it won't pump out, 50 cent in penneys!

Double jack for headphones.

Genius.

As a man, I always find it hard to get to the end of the foundations, the shovel just won't get into those corners and you don't want to make the mix too wet or it might not set properly.

this anti choking device I found online. I told my local school about it and they're buying one.

That's class.

My son had a pretty serious choking episode and my wife just about got it out in time (thankfully she'd done a first aid course not long before that covered choking).

My son also had a few years ago, but it only lasted 30 seconds. Its a nightmare. Luckily an oral sweep soon sorted it out, he had too much in his mouth and it backed up.
